SPIRITUAL STORIES FOR CHILDREN

The following stories were created spontaneously, in the Holy Spirit. This is a transcript, from memory, with some addendum to make it more usable as a story, though it is not perfect in that regard.


TO LEARN PRACTICING STILLNESS AND BODY CONTROL

PROPS- stuffed animal, kitty cat or whatever. Picture of Morya or another master.

SCENE This story was made up in a car where the child did not want to decree or concentrate upon decrees any longer.

“Daddy can you tell me a story?” she asks, instead of decreeing.

The child has a stuffed kitty cat. Any other animal, doll or fairy will do.
I bring out a picture of Master Morya.
I put it upright on the dash.

“O, the kitty cat wants some instruction in decreeing.” The cat walks up to M and asks for it…
“I need to know how to decree. Athena is always decreeing and I don’t know how, so I can’t help her.
M- “You must master being still.”
Cat- “How do I do that?”
M- “Let me show you. Hold your feet, your hands, and head completely still as you give this decree.”
“We will use LET THERE BE LIGHT! And when you say it, you see the Light all around you. Your body is light, your room is filled with Light, everything is Light. Let’s try it.”
“LET THERE BE LIGHT! LET THERE BE LIGHT! LET THERE BE LIGHT!...”
[Have the doll/animal/cat say it in a meek voice. Or have M say it in a grand, majestic voice, or whatever seems right.]
[Simultaneously have the cat move it paws etc. and be distracted like a little kid]
M loudly- “Stop! You are moving.”
Cat- “Yes? Why can’t I move?”
M- “When you move without control you disturb the atmosphere. Everything you do sends out powerful energy. I cannot send down the great light unless you can control yourself.”
Cat- “O, I see.”
M- “I want you to practice being still- for ten seconds, while I count.”
[Count to five and have the cat move a paw.]
M- “You moved. Now we have to start over. You must control your body!” [M is gruff and tough]
[[[At this point my child chimed in, talking to her kitty- “I have to do that too. It is hard!]]]
[Count to ten]
“Good. Let us do our decree again and imagine the light coming down- while we control our body.”
“LET THERE BE LIGHT!…”

COMMENTARY
It can become a burden upon the child to be constantly instructed, told to concentrate, to visualize, to breathe. By using a doll or whatever, and instructing the doll instead of the child, this introduces a whole different dynamic. It takes the pressure off. And when the doll/kitty does funny things it adds joy and fun.
