Children's Books on Mind over Matter

Traveler said Nov 28, 2007, 7:03 AM:

 

Last week my 11-year-old nephew was perusing one of my bookcases and asked if he could borrow “Powers of Mind.”  I told him the style in which it was written might make it difficult for him to find what he was seeking.  He asked me what I meant, and I told him he would probably need a dictionary beside him while he read.  Frustrated, he said,  “Hasn't anybody written it for kids?”


So that is my question to all of you.  Do you know of any books that specifically deals with this subject in a language an 11-year-old can process?


He wants to know if there is a book that can teach him:

1.  How not to believe in illness when there's so much around; what to do when you get sick; how to help your friends when they get sick
2.  When others are being mean how to not react to in anger or hurt feelings.

3.  How to think for yourself without feeling you are betraying authority figures when they tell you what you should believe.

Any help you can give me would be welcomed!

This is not exactly what he's looking for, but i think an eleven year old could probably understand it

http://www.michaelsharp.org/thegreatawakening_ebook.pdf

it's a basic spirituality book and cover the nature of the body and mind, basic spiritual technique, and basic right thinking. Your nephew sounds bright so I'm guessing he coudl extrapolate from here.  The book homepage is here

http://www.michaelsharp.org/Ascension-Awakening/The-Lightning-Path/Spirituality-101/

and the full pdf is free (and relatively short)

there's also this book (Vayda Jayne Bean) which is about a child's inner divinity. The pdf is also a free download.

http://crystalchildrenbooks.com/Vayda%20Jane%20Bean

I'd also recommend The Book of Light

http://www.michaelsharp.org/Spiritual-Books/Cosmology-Theology-Consciousness/The-Nature-of-God-and-Creation/

sounds intimidating, but my eleven year old was able to read it without much difficulty and only a handful of questions. The book of light can actually provide the foundation upon which

all of these I thing could help give someone the foundation that would allow them to develop the knowledge they need to deal with illness, anger, and authority.

Hi - I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for either, but the Sara books from Abraham-Hicks are written for kids and are a great introduction to the basics of the Law of Attraction.

They'd be perfect for a boy or girl of that age. Frankly I enjoyed them and I'm 39. Here's the link to the first one:

I like the reflection aspect a little better than the question part (which seems to imply that I have answers or something)….so having said that, here is what comes to my mind:

Share a night dream you remember vividly.

Food is life - tell about a meal with a life affirming impact for you.

When your mind wanders, where does it go?

Tell about an experience where you were completely surprised and caught off guard.

Talk about a person famous enough that they intrigue you without knowing them personally, living or dead.

You have one magic talisman in your pocket. What is it and what does it mean to you?

If three wishes could be granted in your personal life right now, what would they be and why?

  1. Peace - Its all very ridiculous in this day an age its not already present…the world just needs to grow up and stop behaving like a bad child! There's no need for military aggression, there's no reason for division other that greed - Why don't the USA give back the trillions of dollars they stole from Iraq, instead of cushioning their own lives, are more 9/11s really the answer?
  2. Defense - we don't really have any - the planet's wide open?
  3. End of Capitalism - its slowing us down, carrot and stick mentality worked in the dark ages, but, we are all too advanced now and the world would progress tens quicker without it!
If you could change one thing in your community (totally change this one thing!), what would it be and why?

The end of all abuse, by ending capitalism, we end all abuse…its that simple! I would replace it with welfare, well-being, and quality of existence benchmarks, for the collective community of the human race. Everyone in their own lifetime be given the opportunity to self realize to a wider understanding of one race and have the opportunity to discover their own spirituality.

When your mind wonders, where does it go?

Into the future…the planet of homo-sapiens are at Peace, we no longer invest peoples time in the mundane necessities of economics, we are no longer controlled by its short coming and its inability to solve problems effectively. Instead we reuse all the positive elements of commercialization to organize the needs of the whole community collectively. That is, we share the fruits of the earth collectively, all humans are treated equally and a child in Africa, India, S,America, Russia, China (all such places) is as important as a child of the president's, all known knowledge and problems are fed into the collective race, identity  of the self, self realization, collective identity and realization and spiritual diversity of the whole is absorbed to instigate the collective brain of human intellect towards the greater good of all living creation in the universe. We all share a collective identity as the human race towards progress and everyone is given homes, food, clothing, transport, community prerequisites of establishment and integration. Development of the human potential is integrated into the collective and communal aspects of life. The collective feeds the chain of development through the knowledge and production center's around the world, but, is tied into the status and progress of its purpose and effect. Everyone is involved with life on the planet and off the planet, to increase our knowledge awareness of the larger world of the universe. We make Peace with new species in distant galaxies and make new homes and defenses on other planets, we attain unlimited fuel supplies and nurture the planets eco-system back to health. The focus is on well-being, welfare, development, progress, achievement, truth, justice, liberty, equality, the new civilization of the human race not the past divisions of independent nationalistic warfare of greed and internal corruptions. Instead of development taking 50 years we start to achieve our targets in 1 year, because the collective gene pool of information accelerates development and the sustainable communities are involved, but, not draining the lifeblood out of the system like it is now. Anyway thats somewhere near where my head goes to escape reality!

You have one magic talisman in your pocket. What is it and what does it mean to you?

In todays world the talisman would be a credit card with unlimited credit, to wipe out all debts, sufferings and abuse in the world. In the future the concept of money is deemed unproductive so it would probably be something more significant like a tele-port key, a star-chart compass, a universal translator, a personal shield, an alethiometer or an amber spyglass.

- Why are there such extremes between poor and rich in the world?

- Is it true, that world famine would stop, if all obese American would start a thorough diet?

- Is it true that in Americe more lives are lost because of poor education and bad healthcare every day, then in the entire Iraque conflict?

- Do you know what habbits you have, and people have become to accept to be 'you', even if they don't like them?

- Do you look up, at the clouds and trees, at the buildings, and at the ants in the grass?

- Do you know how great it is to be alive?

DM said Feb 15, 2008, 1:38 PM:

 

A few questions, some political, some psychological:

- Do you know what freedom is? Or is your definition given to you by others?
Freedom is a concept of universal integration of the species when applied to the collective race, or, a personal sense of fulfillment in ones own pre-concept of the term. Application of the term to a nations identity is counter productive to the collective application.

- Why are there such extremes between poor and rich in the world?
Capitalism, the board-game reality of the civilizations legitimacy to protection of ownership of continents in the World! It's a blast - buy nukes invent money and control.
- Is it true, that world famine would stop, if all obese American would start a thorough diet?
No, to stop famine and poverty we have to integrate all the races of the World into one Race - the Human Race and start managing that instead of playing the game-board reality of world domination…at the moment the Americans are winning…great show - well done you win.
- Is it true that in America more lives are lost because of poor education and bad health-care every day, then in the entire Iraq conflict?
Probably, I only have experience of some domestic abuse victim's. One such woman in Washington, as been prostituted out since being a child to the men from her church, since, as a suffer of 'DID' her mother claims she has no soul, therefore the men are committing no sin, because God cannot see her, in her communities eyes she is bad born and worthless. She was married off to the local butcher for the purpose of producing boys, which she did, he keeps her on a chain, breaks her ribs every now and again and refuses her medical treatment until she passes out. The community covet their abuse, including police and health-care authorities. God bless America.
- Do you know what habit's you have, and people have become to accept to be 'you', even if they don't like them?
I have no sense where money is concerned for sure! My last partner fleeced me of two properties, got £100,000 worth of work done on her property and left me with the debts for her car, piano's and credit cards in my name. Cool a true capitalist. Since Christmas i've spent nearly £20,000 on my two remaining credit cards keeping prostitutes off the streets while trying to get them of drugs…I should be going to prison soon since the finance companies are closing the net, with fraud allegations. Cool. I may just look for other options out of my life habits, if I have enough money left!
- Do you look up, at the clouds and trees, at the buildings, and at the ants in the grass?
Yes, I look past the superficial exterior of life into the abyss of sin, chaos and wonder if hell on earth is true to the existence we experience.
- Do you know how great it is to be alive?
Yes and No. All things have a beginning and an end the in-between is what you make of it, at who's cost I don't know!
- Would you kill for love?
Yes, if it was everlasting!

Think of a set of opposites that are prominent tensions in your life – for example, revealing/concealing, autonomy/connectedness, or even something as simple as up/down, left/right, or inside/outside.  Connect a thought or situation with each opposite – for example, “I reveal a lot about my life to my close friends” and “I conceal my imperfections with makeup”.   

Now, the challenge: reframe your thinking so that your “opposites” are no longer opposite of one another.

Re: Questions and Reflections: Sunrise or Sunset?

JCat said May 8, 2007, 9:45 PM:

 

SUNRISE OR SUNSET?

Which do you enjoy more and why?  Is it experiencing the wonder of beginning a new day before you as the sun rises or watching how beautiful the colors are in the quiet evening as the sun sets reflecting on how the day went?

If you had to pick just one to experience forever which would it be?

I am curious in peoples emotional, spiritual and physical beauty attraction of their sunrise/sunset reasons as to which they prefer and what it means to them.  Also manytimes a sunrise or sunset carries a specific memory within oneself.  I also wonder if their preference has anything to do with whether they are a morning bird or a night owl.

I hope I will get some responses :)

I have an idea ! As the questions we ask must be
based on questions we would like to know?
So maybe -when posting individual questions-
we could also answer them personally at the
end of the post.
Then at least we would know what YOU think?

So -what DO you think ?Anyone?

Myself -I think it's a good idea -because I am immediately curious
as to what the postee would answer -!

i enjoy this idea.  here goes, with my question from above:

Think of a set of opposites that are prominent tensions in your life - for example, revealing/concealing, autonomy/connectedness, or even something as simple as up/down, left/right, or inside/outside.  Connect a thought or situation with each opposite - for example, “I reveal a lot about my life to my close friends” and “I conceal my imperfections with makeup”.   

Now, the challenge: reframe your thinking so that your “opposites” are no longer opposite of one another.

my set of opposites would be connection/autonomy.  when i am driving, i feel connected with everyone everywhere because, well, roads can essentially take you wherever you'd like.  at the same time, i am often alone in my car and thus isolated from the world. 

reframing: both the connectedness and the autonomy of driving are on the same side of the table, pitted against “going nowhere”.

How about, they are driving on the same side of the table, united and going somewhere, with purpose and passion??!!

I, too, enjoy your banter with opposites, it touches at the heart of 2 existences in ONE.

I like to pose the opposites as a level of consciousness.  When you can embrace seeming opposites as having no contradiction, rather as reconciling each other, then you are in the paradox and your perspective is whole, undivided. 

The yin/yang was once explained to me by someone deeply engaged in the Chinese acupuncture understandings as the yin becomes so full of its receiving that it spills in a Cosmic flash into the yang of giving, simultaneously, the yang gives so completely to the yin that it reaches a “critical mass” that bursts into the yin.”   It struck me as Beautiful and awesome.

Well, those are not his expect words, by that is the gist of the meaning.  It was an AHHa moment that has never stopped revealing to me.

Again, contradiction is the type of opposites of the ego; they never  resolve into each other because their very nature is to separate and never close the gap of opposition, thus, the ego's energetic dualism is one of “fighting, resisting, opposing”. 

Contraast that with the Divine's dualism which is merely an illusion since it can only be ONE, and thus, such dualism is seen  in this form world as paradoxes.  With the proper vista of perception, the seeming contradiction of the opposites are recognized as resolved in each other as a Whole story or idea intact - the never static yin/yang. 

Did I do this justice,  or are my words still leaving  this  'wanting'?

All to Love, Sharon

What do you support? So many of us focus our attention on issues, problems, irritations, and things we wish were changed, because it's easy to see those things, not so easy to live in constant gratefulness of all the things that are perfect, the very things that even allow those “ugly” things to exist. So like Mother Theresa said, “…if you're having a pro-peace rally, give me a call,” what things could you focus your support on that are the opposite side to the things you currently disapprove?

If it’s not - how do you personally reduce your impact on the environment / nature and the planet. What do you do to give nature a helping hand? Many species are now squeezed into small reserves with global warming species may need to migrate, where to? corridors between reserves are few, for example a tree takes years to migrate north

I'm wondering… I heard a (not wanting to be a) spiritual teacher say once that love is always dual. “Love always implies two”, he stated.
In my contemplation I realize that even with selflove that's True. If you love yourself, than who's doing the loving?  If I can observe the loving? Then love is not part of Me? Because I relate to love. As in two…This realization implies a lot for me.

I'm interested in your reflection on this matter?

I like the idea of even a regular show-and-tell… say, every Monday, or every Friday, or even just once a month. It could be super-open-ended; you could bring whatever you wanted, and tell a little story about it, and periodically there could be themes.

I'll see what we can do. My one worry is leaving out those without much digital media capabilities, but I'm sure people can always describe what they'd like to bring.

Good Lord,  I hope not!  It makes for a nice speed bump-  like guilt.  Both are necessary or you'd never have enough weight to shift your direction.  It's just not necessary for much more than an attention getter.  If someone you love is holding on to any of these negatives, they're holding onto something completely different- something they breathe life into each time they couple it in that energy.

It's Christmas- how could anyone possibly have time for anything but gumdrops and sugar plumb fairies?

I'm home today because my 7 year old son has a bad cold. I've loaded him up with hot eccanacia tea, vitamin C and bundled him up in his favorite blanket on the couch….rented him his favorite movie and planted our little bodies on the couch for a day of rest, relaxation and recovery.
Being a mom brings up so many childhood memories, especially being home sick from school. I almost looked forward to getting sick when i was a kid because it meant the whole day with mamma, naps, grilled cheese sandwiches and sesame street. Feelings of comfort, warmth, love and peace fill my heart both then and now when I look at these times…..now I get to give those same feelings to my son and it makes me so happy.

I think some memories feed our souls…..this one certainly feeds mine.

What memories of childhood feed your soul? What feelings do they conjure up inside you and how can we be sure to continue activities to conjur up this “Soul Food”?

Namaste'

Re: Questions and Reflections: Add yours!

tinkonthebrink said Apr 20, 2008, 5:42 AM:

 

This isn't a suggestion for a specific question, just a thought about how the questions are phrased. The question just above reminds me of a recent one “what is your relationship to apology”, and I just want to suggest that more specific questions would probably elicit more authentic responses. Like “talk about a time when you apologized” or “talk about something you wish you could apologize for” or “take this opportunity to apologize if you need to, for anything that feels unfinished”. The wildly open-ended questions could elicit great responses in a group where there were further questions and continuing direction and an intention being held by someone(s) holding the space, but undirected it seems to me that they often go off into vagueness.
I know I do a better job talking about a real rock sitting right in front of me than an idea about a concept of a state of mind. Just a thought.

Agreed, rapunzel. It's a fine line between asking overly specific (getting “Yes” as an answer isn't terribly interesting), or leading / assuming (“How do you feel about the fact that our world is falling apart?”) questiosn, and those that are too vague; the reason I like erring on the side of the latter is that they act as much more of a projection screen, and I love seeing how the same question can be interpreted in so, so many different ways. It's eye-opening, and humbling, to learn about how people 'hear' the same set of words. :)

siona – that's my favorite thing about the QAR too – seeing all the different answers to the same question.  when I get a chance to read all the answers for a given question, I inevitably learn something or remember something that I had forgotten.  often there is a thread of similarity running through as well.
