</SPAN>Okay.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>From your lessons, we
learned that spiritual growth and development unfolds best through a gentle and
continuous exposure to the presence of God, encompassed and applied in the

speak of one’s need to be accepted socially as equals, regardless of age or
handicap.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You caution us not to let
children miss out on frequent interactions with other children, and also those
early challenges that build strong character and self esteem.<SPAN

them through the process.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You speak
of both the negative and positive impacts that environmental influences and
adult role models have on their development.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This impact occurs as early as the
moment of conception and continues on through their lives.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You suggest that we raise children
morally and ethically, as God knowing—not God fearing—and you suggest that we
assist them in seeing themselves as sons and daughters of the living God, who
has planned a future for them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

</SPAN>Only one thought, and that is that children be brought into the world,
and then raised into adulthood with an intention.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is important that parents hold this
intention in mind through the years of their child’s existence in their
home.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This intention may be written
out on a plaque and placed in the child’s bedroom, or in the parent’s bedroom,
where it is there to become aware of and not forgotten.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Intention is important, and this is a
personal and private enterprise between the parents and the child.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is something they devise on their
own, for the child.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And when I say,
“intention,” it is not for the child to become an accountant, or lawyer, or a
company owner, or a being of that material nature, but I am speaking of the
intention of raising the individual to become as I said earlier, to be God
knowing, to become aware that he or she is a child of the living God, and they
are living sons and daughters of that living God, and that their lives came into
existence through intention, that there was commitment on the part of the
parents to have this child, purposely and intentionally.<SPAN

you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What a wonderful idea!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now I’d like to move on to some
additional questions that will hopefully extend the depth of our understanding,
once again.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’d like to begin with
a question left over from our last session.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There seems to be a discrepancy between
the time when many women are at their fertile peak to bear children, and when in
our society they are mature enough to raise them.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In addition, it appears that young men
are also experiencing a maturity lag.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Could you speak to this?</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in"
class=MsoFooter><B>MONJORONSON:</B><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Most definitely. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The lag you
speak of is a lag that is expressed in the development of a culture.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As a culture becomes more educated, has
a greater history to it, and greater experience in its existence and the
individuals begin to invest themselves more in that culture, they as well
unconsciously extend their early adulthood, the developmental time into the
future before they become needing and wanting to be fathers and mothers, and to
be a part of a family of their own.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This is very natural.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
will see in lesser educated, less culturally developed and evolved cultures,
that childhood, childrearing, comes into existence much earlier in their
lives.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Women are most fertile—and
as are men—in their late teens and early twenties, but they are hardly more than
grown children themselves.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
advancement of age before consciously choosing to become fathers and mothers is
an important aspect of childrearing, to do this consciously, to do it
intentionally, to make a commitment to that child.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will as well find that usually when
individuals delay childrearing until their late twenties, early thirties, that
they have fewer children, and that they invest more of themselves into
that.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If they see this as an
intrusion, albeit one that they personally chose, into their personal lives and
their careers, it is an important development of any culture and signals a
change of the energetic environment of a culture.<SPAN

class=MsoFooter><B>Vicki:</B><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Let
me see if I understand this:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Basically then, children come into this fertile peak early, when they are
still under the influence of their parents, so that their parents can guide
them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Is that correct?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in"

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in"
class=MsoFooter><B>MONJORONSON:</B><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>That is correct.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You see
when and if individuals delay childrearing until their late twenties, early
thirties, by the time their children come into early adolescence, they are
already in the mid-time of their lives, so that they have greater wisdom and
they too, are in this pivotal area.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Parents, too, are growing, but they have the wisdom and experience to
raise their children into becoming much more effective partners with
society.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank you.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in"
class=MsoFooter><B>Vicki:</B><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And
that pivotal age is one that I think you should probably discuss.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Adolescence—it certainly provides its
challenges, for both the child and the parent, so I think I’ll direct my
questions that I have there, next.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in" class=MsoFooter>Though we are
aware that challenges are a necessary ingredient for growth, I am still
concerned with the amount of adverse, outside influences that impact our
children and adolescents every day, and it is increasingly harder to shield or

</SPAN>Your question and this situation go hand-in-hand with your previous
questions and my answers.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is
important that when children are brought into existence by parents, that those
parents have the time to rear them, and to be present with them, not on a
sporadic basis, but continually so the child is raised in the home where there
is the parent continuously, and that when the child goes to school, when they
come home, there is the parent who is there to greet them and receive them, sit
down and discuss the day and help them interpret their experiences.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Very few families do that today, and
those that do are exceptional, and of course raise exceptional children, who
become exceptional adults.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is
important that the parent who receives the child from school be of such age
themselves, as to be capable of aiding their child to reflect upon their
experiences and then give them mature, wise, interpretations of those events, in
the event the child does not do so well on their own, in their reporting.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in"
class=MsoFooter> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in" class=MsoFooter>Your cultural
situation in this nation is truly not much different than it has been through
the millennia where adolescents tend to get into mischief, as they experiment
with the challenges of growing adulthood, whether that is bringing a “skunk”
into the tribe’s area, or whether they are in the Internet, bringing pornography
into their computer.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Vigilance is a
necessary duty of parents at all times, in all these environments.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are many more outside influences,
however, which are detrimental to the evolving psyche of the child, so the
parent must set boundaries and be available to enforce those boundaries for the
child’s good, until the child can engrain those boundaries into their own
thinking and adhere to them through their own wise choice-making.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in"
class=MsoFooter> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in" class=MsoFooter>Yes, your
culture does have many powerful influences, they are extremely powerful, and
many of them are extremely violent.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This nation is most violent and it is abhorrent to the development of
your culture.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It will be seen as a
stain upon this culture for centuries to come—something to be overcome.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thus childrearing is most important and
that parents of good mature consciousness, with a commitment and intention to
raise the child conscientiously, are present and able to do so.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in"
class=MsoFooter> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in" class=MsoFooter>For those who
are materialistically invested, this may cause great compromise in the cars they
drive, the houses they live in and the communities where the houses are.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is far too much money and
obligation to support those material habits, to raise children effectively.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Only those of great wealth can afford to
have all these tremendous material assets, which need to be paid for, and raise
children with one of the parents at home.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Thus, those middleclass individuals who are the majority of your
population, it is suggested that they pull back and withhold those material
pleasures from themselves, so that one parent can be available to raise these
children.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For those individuals who
read this and are already greatly indebted to the material proclivities, this
may be a difficult choice and one that is almost impossible; therefore, during
those hours that a parent is available with the child, parents are urged to make
every moment count by maintaining a conscious presence with the child.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is conscious parenting when there
is deep quality time and transference of the family culture and values to the
child.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank you.</P>

</SPAN>Not so much.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Again, this
culture is awfully busy; it is the busyness it has given itself [that] is far
too high and occupies too much time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The time that parents took in the evenings to read bedtime stories,
parables and morals to children while they were in preschool years is
commendable, and there is no reason why this same commitment to time and tucking
the children in bed with stories and wisdoms and later on meditations and
prayers, could not and should not continue.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is the choice of the parent to be

children who go to school come home and have dinner and then every individual in
the household goes their own way.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This is not how a family is built; this is not how communities are built
and maintained, so that they are morally and socially sustainable.<SPAN

to take the time to be with their children and to engage them.<SPAN

and adolescents martial arts—it requires time, patience, diligence, instruction
and time to practice those skills.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It is admirable to see children learning tae kwon do and karate, and the
martial arts lend themselves to discipline of the mind and prayer and
relationship to the divine as well.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>We see no loss of continuum in this learning process.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is a matter of your culture being too
busy and too distracted by individual needs, to spend time with their
children.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Parents are far too
invested in their careers, and the obligations of their duties to their
employment.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many other

to their careers after hours, when they are with their families.<SPAN

should have a—some cultures call it an altar—but they should have a sacred place
in their bedroom or someplace that is theirs; it is a private space where they
can go to be alone.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Oftentimes,
children have a need for space alone, away from parents and siblings and
obligations of their own social networks, to be with themselves, and when they
are with themselves, they can be with their Thought Adjuster.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This begins early on, even in infancy,
where the child has time to play by themselves, to be with themselves.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is helpful if the adult, the parent,
assist that child in interpreting that time alone, so that they can determine
that this is a time to be with God, to be with their Creator and to be within

</SPAN>The most effective practices of discipline with children are those
disciplines which assist the child in making choices—ethical, social, moral
choices.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The most powerfully
destructive are those which teach the child to be destructive, to be harmful, to
see that power and force are the way of adulthood.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is most detrimental to the thinking
of the individual, whether or not they act out this violence in their
adulthood.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Effective discipline
leads the child into effective adulthood; effectively assists them in making
good decisions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Effective
discipline is such that it is a point in time where the child becomes aware of
having made a wrong choice.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How the
parent engages that practice of discipline is a matter of maturity on the part
of the parent themselves.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Parents
who have raised more than one child know that oftentimes children come into life
with a predisposed temperament which may be completely at odds with the family’s
way of living, their values and their beliefs and their social behaviors.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That simply means that this child has
come into existence as a young soul who is immature and needs a much firmer hand
in the discipline, and the discipline of learning the helpful and supportive
behaviors that will assist them in adulthood, getting along with their peers and
their communities.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

seem to raise themselves and require little effort to guide them along the
way.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Discipline may be as simple as
taking the child aside, sitting them in a chair, looking at them, holding their
hands and helping them interpret what they had done, and assisting them in
making right decisions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Too often,
the child is belittled, may be punished physically, and may be embarrassed
socially.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These truly are harshly
punitive and unnecessary.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When
children have privileges, it gives the parent a leverage to discipline the child
by withholding those privileges.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>At
no time should privileges or any form of punishment be engaged without
explaining thoroughly to the child what they have done, what was wrong about it
and what is correct in the future.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And, further, at no time should the parent engage in discipline when they
are reacting to the child’s behavior.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Emotional reaction by the parent is harmful, is detrimental and ingrains
a model for discipline of the child in the future, when they have their own
children, which is detrimental then to the grandchildren.<SPAN

perpetuation of irrational and unproductive disciplines—it is important that
they cease; it is important that new practices of discipline begin.<SPAN

from a parenting coach, or from a child psychologist, or grandparents or other
parents who have effectively raised children.<SPAN

children usually are only academic pros, professionals at giving advice, rather
than having known how to use that advice in their own family environment.<SPAN

think of disciplining children, you think of giving instruction, you think of
giving children a punitive time out or some withholding of privileges, and so
on.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>True discipline leads to a way

practice, and not to the extent of being obsessive or compulsive, but to have
the freedom to know when you to bend those rules, and when not to; and, know

process, upon the gene structure of individuals and its transference. </P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in" class=MsoFooter>It is both
individual, and it is cultural, and it is racial—racial meaning, I should rather
say, “species specific”—that the species of humankind holds an energetic cosmic
mind, cosmic consciousness, planetary consciousness, that affects all those who
enter into this energetic realm.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Were your children raised on the moon, they would still have ties to the
earth, earth’s population and the mass of humankind’s consciousness, simply
because they are of that kind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So
it is that your adopted children from another race often begin to exhibit
practices which their parents or grandparents—or someone else—earlier in their
heritage had practiced.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They will
have interests that tend to move them towards areas of the past.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These may express soon, or they may
express later in life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Sometimes
these racial memories do not come into expression and awareness in the
individual until later in life, in the 30’s and 40’s, when there is time to
reflect and to have the consciousness that they are different, and they begin to
measure how they are different, and of course this ignites a chain of memories,
or a chain of thoughts that reflect their earlier ancestry.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in" class=MsoFooter>This is a
fascinating area of the Life Carriers; it is part of their own discipline for
bringing into existence the survival capacity of a species of individuals on a
planet.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is important for the
survival of that species, that they be able to transfer the wisdom of the races
forward.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Consciously engaging this
process, knowing that you are making a difference in this and future
generations, is perhaps one of the most conscientious aspects that you can have
as a participant of a race of mortal beings, who have Thought Adjusters.<SPAN

</SPAN>You are most welcome.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
have among you, several Melchizedeks, who are morontial world teachers, and they

life as a spiritual being on a material world, and this is a continuum that does
