We have probably all heard the popular acronym of FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real. But, have you ever thought about what fear really is?
Fear is dis-ease.
Take that in for a moment: Fear is dis-ease. WoWza! That'll hit home for a lot of you. Am I right?
Fear is a state of being ill-at-ease. If we buy into this idea, perhaps there is a dramatic link between the concept of fear and the diseases of the human body.
When it comes to fear, we all fall victim to its tantalizing ways. In fact, if we look around ourselves - especially this time of year when Halloween is right around the corner - we can see clearly that we are excited by fear. We might even enjoy fear. Fear can make us feel alive. True?
For a child, though, fear is a learned behavior. From what I have read, and through my own experience, it is only when a parent or other caregiver reacts in a fearful manner that a child stops experiencing his/her imaginary friend/s.
It would stand to reason that our brains are open to more experiences when we are young, learning everything we can in as short of time as possible (our survival instinct). For this reason, it would make sense that children are more apt to be open to experiencing other worldly phenomenon than adults. It also makes sense that as children grow up, they grow out of being able to interact with their imaginary friends.
From a spiritual point of view, what we have determined to call imaginary friends might actually be the energy and/or souls of our crossed-over loved ones and angel guides. The potential exists, then, that at least 65% of us already have the innate ability to experience that which is considered other worldly.
Raising a child with this ability, and having been a child who had (and currently has) this ability, I consider it a gift from God.
On the rare occasion I encounter a person who does not think of my ability as a gift, I understand. Because I believe that fear is dis-ease, my understanding of those fear-based souls is that they need lots of extra love and healing in their lives. My understanding doesn't make it easy to be scorned. To get beyond my ego, all I need do is remind myself that the fear is theirs, not mine.
(Thank God!)
Because I also believe in the concept of "what I give is what I get", I send only love and healing energy to those who would scorn or judge me.
How do you handle your child's imaginary friends or other unexplainable spiritual gifts?
My wish for you: may you receive the love and support you need to be a supportive parent with a truly gifted child. Enjoy it. Foster it. Support it. Love it. It's up to you to accept your child for ALL their talents, gifts, and graces.
Want to be a "see'er" like your child? Simply unlearn your fear. Need help letting go of your fear, there are many avenues you can explore. One of them is through working with me, Jamie Allen Bishop.
Here’s to a new vision you can believe in without fear.
Warmly,
