A Letter From the Mother: Children of the Universe

By Manon Tromp

I am the mother of all, I am the creator of you and your world, I am life and death, I am the source, I am unconditional love.

I am a child of the universe

I am more than my parents, my upbringing, my education and my friends

I am unique and I need space to show this

I ask for unconditional love and acceptance

I do not ask for your judgement or criticism

I ask for encouragement, to be guided with love and to have a mirror for reflection

Allow me to make my mistakes, trust that I will learn from them and develop myself

Treasure me like I am the last treasure on earth, but do not hold me back from experiences

I want to learn and I want to discover, but in my own way

I will learn more about the world, if you would let me travel and not keep me in a classroom

Otherwise I can only show one side of me and you will never get to know all of me

I have a lot of creativity inside me and if I can not express that, I will express myself in other ways. Ways which are not good for my health and my development.

See me for who I am!

I am unique and different again and again

I have so many sides to me, that there is not one system to fit them all in

Do you have the courage to give me my space? I can do it, but can you?

Was it you who decided that learning with my mind is more important than learning with my heart? That math is more important than how I deal with my emotions?

I do not understand

I know how I can learn and develop myself

This wisdom has been given to me by birth

I only ask that you trust my wisdom

You are also a child of the universe, a child of all people

I respect your wisdom

Please respect mine!

This is the cry of many children in the world, to be recognized for who they are. To learn more naturally, to develop in their own space and time, not like sheep in a flock. You were once that child and look at you now. You know how you wanted to be recognized and accepted and now you are always striving to get that acknowledgment from others and it still does not satisfy you. Acceptance comes from the inside and that is something you need to be aware of in order to feel it. I can help you: listen to my voice when you hear children's laughter, their innocence and unconditional acceptance of themselves and others around them. They still have what you seem to have lost.

Children are our guardians, our messengers of love and you need to listen more closely to their wisdom. Your priority should be to help them to develop their unique talents and to help them to stay rooted in their own being. When children loose their innocence, the world looses love: the essence of your being. You may say the world is a hard place and that you have to prepare your children for that, but I say the world is what you make it and you have the power to change it. It all comes to priorities: love and humanity should always count more than economy and money. In all of you is enough creativity to find ways of living not ruled by possession. Let the children lead the way, they are your mirrors.

I am your mother, you are my child: I love you unconditionally, please accept that. Feel the child inside you and let it speak: what would it say now? If you are a parent, then you want to give your child the best you can, maybe things you never had. You want to prepare your child for the best life ever by sending it to the best school and to study at the best university to have the best possible career. Your intentions are admirable and I praise you for them, but have you ever considered what really is best for your child? Have you asked your child? Is the best dictated by the standards of your society or does it come from the heart? Deep down you know what is best, your heart tells you, your soul knows. Just trust it and do not be afraid that your child will miss out on something. As long as you love it unconditionally and give it room to develop it's talents and creativity, that is all you need to do.

Children are given to you to raise and be loved, but they are not your possession. They are souls who need to find their way in the world to develop and learn. You can not claim them, even if you are the mother or the father, they belong to themselves. You are their family on earth, but they also have a soul family. They are brought to you in order to learn from each other. It is really important that you understand this, because it means that you must be able to let them go if necessary. Sometimes children and parents are not compatible and although parents may feel responsible for their children's actions, that does not mean that this is really the case. Sometimes you biggest lesson is to simply let go of your children and let them make their own mistakes. I have done this myself and cried over you many times, but I knew I had to do this. Father has not been able to let go and has been on your case for centuries. He means well, but he has brought more chaos in the world by trying to control you. He did this out of love, just as I did by letting you go. He agrees now, to step back and let you and your children develop in your unique ways to become the persons you really are.

Education is important, on that we can all agree, but the educational system is killing the creativity of your children. Education is very much aimed at maintaining an unnatural society, an economy that struggles to provide for everybody, but at the same time is not making everybody happy. The reason is that children are brought up to fulfill the needs of society and not to fulfill their own needs, in other words the priorities of modern education fail to recognise the real potential of children. From the moment they are born they will be told and shown by adults around them, how to behave in order to become good citizens. Today's society is faster paced than ever and the claims on people to act on have never been so many. It gives much pressure to people and leaves them little time to really be themselves and use their creativity. I worry a lot about this and I wish you could see what I mean and that you really look to your own part in this circus. Is this what makes you happy or do you wish that you could slow down a little and enjoy life more? You can, you know, but it takes real courage to let the pressure of society's demands glide of your shoulders and live from your inner true being. I can help you, loved one, so call on me and will be there.

When you are a child raised without love, then I ache for you and feel your pain. The love is there, inside you, behind the wall you have created in your life. Take my hand and let's move beyond the wall and feel your love, your light. It is time you spread your light around and show the world who you are. You have been unconditionally accepted when you came on this earth, if people or circumstances have made you believe otherwise, please know that you are important to the world and to the universe. Do not let yourself be distracted from that, you came here with a purpose, a mission and even though you may not know yet what that is, be assured that your contribution is invaluable. Some of you may be challenged more than others to get distracted from your mission, but that can only mean that your soul is capable of handling quite some burden. You may not want that, but my dear child, it is the path you have chosen in order to develop your soul. As longs as you try to stay conscious of who you are and what influences you and your actions, you will be fine. You are always supported, even though you may feel terribly lonely at the times. Those are the times that you can call out to me, and you will find me in your heart. You will feel my embrace. I love you very much.

Young children nowadays have more developed souls than they used to. They are your guides to the life of love, that you are entitled to and that is your birthright. Their senses are so powerful, that they will miss nothing: every feeling, emotion and pain will be felt them. They have a built-in antenna for the pure, natural and honest, so they will know every lie and feel every unnatural energy that comes their way. They will react on that in a negative way: bad behaviour, allergy, eczema, adhd and more. So many children nowadays have these complaints, when will you all wake up? They are suffering because of the negative and unnatural ways of modern society. They will grow up to thinking that this is part of being, but I want to let you know that this is not acceptable! As your mother I beg you to find more natural ways of raising your children.

It does not have to be this way, you have the power to break this vicious circle. Get back in tune with the natural way of living — look in nature, there are plenty of examples there. You do not have to get back to the old way of living, but you need to reconnect with nature and find ways to integrate this connection in your modern day life. You do not have to wait for the government or other institutions to start, you can start in your own way, people are already doing this. Just open your self to the connection and energy will start flowing to help you on your way. Believe in the power of magic, think of your children and change your ways for their sakes.

With all my love,
Mother
