Assimilation

Babies are born into this world
As pure Spirits, into our care
Most think of them as totally helpless
But they are Awake and Aware

It’s true they need to be looked after
The physical body takes time to train
Unlimited potential lies ahead for them
After mastering their body and brain

But these unique and pure Spiritual Beings
Are learning and adapting as they grow
Throughout pregnancy, birth and early years
They assimilate everything you show

We are all essentially Spiritual Beings
Therefore words and actions do not convey
As much as the energy we constantly radiate
Through our thoughts and feelings every day

Our thoughts, beliefs and perception
Will build our world, our exclusive reality
Children mimic from those around them
Familiar traits to become their personality

Surrounded by nurturing, unconditional love
Supported with flowing positive praise
Encouraged to independently think
A child will embody all these ways

About This Poem

Many of my poems are about babies and children because they have been the main focus of my adult life. I had my three children at a young age and became a grandmother at thirty-six, my oldest grandchild is now an adult (21 this year) with others ever fast approaching!

One of the main things I wish I had known all those years ago when my children were born was that they are like sponges, taking in everything around them with no filters. I guess at an unconscious level I knew this because I was always wary of what was going on around them. But I never understood that it wasn’t just my words and actions, but my thoughts and feelings that had an effect on them. It’s all so clear to see now in their adult lives snippets of reflections of how I was back then.

And now in my grandchildren I see them develop as mini versions of their parents and the people that surround them. I always knew that we are influenced by the way we are brought up, but I never realized the extent of how it all programs our minds. 

Although, another interesting point is that some people who have had unstable or even terrible upbringings are able to put their focus on achieving everything opposite to their personal experiences. Two wonderful examples of this are Wayne Dyer and Anthony Robbins. Wayne Dyer had an alcoholic father who left his family of three children under four, his mother couldn’t cope so she sent one child and Wayne to a series of foster homes, and the other to live with a grandmother.  Wayne chose to perceive this experience as a lesson in self-reliance. Anthony Robbins childhood was abusive and poor, it was an anonymous gift of a food basket on Thanksgiving (when he was still a child) that changed his life, as he then set his focus on being able to help others in the same way.

Update 3rd May 2023 – The Great Awakening

This poem highlights why the dark have focused much of their attention on children. Children are the adults of our future and by programming them from childhood it is a very easy and simple step to manipulate them to be compliant as adults.

The educational system teaches children by filling their minds with facts and figures (not needed by the greater majority for their adulthood), that there are only right or wrong answers (no questioning of perception etc..) that passing exams is the only way to be successful (there are numerous definitions of success) and especially to be compliant to people of ‘authority’ (we should be able to question all people of ‘authority’ as to their intentions, morals etc…)

At the moment much is coming to Light of the terrible mutilation of children from the adgenda of teaching children that if they are not happy it’s because they are living the wrong gender. Very young children are being subjected to drag queens, inappropriate sex education, using pro-nouns for identity etc.. while their minds are extremely impressionable. Until about seven years of age, children accept everything as real and a truth to them, they have not started to develop a questioning mind, everything goes directly to their sub-conscious mind as their ‘truth.’

What is happening to our children at this moment in time is atrocious, however, it is a part of The Great Awakening because if there is anything that will stir up people to take a stand, it is in protecting their precious children. As the Light overpowers the dark, we will create a New Earth where the last verse of my poem will be dominant.
