Leaving on A Jet Plane...

"Children of Happiness are not like ordinary children. You can tell one of the Children of Happiness by the way it is different. 

A Child of Happiness always seems like an old soul living in a new body, and her face is very serious until she smiles, and then the sun lights up the world. You look at the eyes of a Child of Happiness and you know the child knows everything that is truly important. Children of Happiness always look not quite the same as other children. They have strong, straight legs and walk with purpose. They laugh as do all children, and they play as do all children, they talk child talk as do all children, but they are different, they are blessed, they are special, they are sacred.

They are to be cherished and protected, even at the risk of your life. They will know sadness, but will overcome it. They will know alienation for they see past and through this reality. They will endure where others cannot. They will survive where others cannot. They know love even when it is not shown to them. They spend their lives trying to communicate the love they know."

~Anne Cameron, Daughters of Copper Woman~

Sitting at Point Woronzof watching the planes land and take off while we ate a to go meal for dinner, I was speaking to my daughter about a number of things. Her day, life in general, what she wanted to do with school, our family, relationships, and then the conversation turned to issues that pertain to becoming an adult. In her case, becoming a woman. 

She is at a time in her life where she is evolving. Quickly. Transitioning from a girl into a woman before my eyes. Not puberty. She's gone through that years ago. She is maturing. Mentally. Emotionally. Spiritually. She is seeking answers on things that matter. It is a time that can be confusing and one fraught with fear, some pain and frustration. 

I know I have a limited time to speak to her about changes before she continues and finds herself smack dab in the middle of some big ones herself. I want all my short people to be able to talk to me about how they feel, what they're going through, and be able to ask questions of me when it comes to hard stuff...

I spoke to her about the evolution of people into adulthood, women in particular. She is a singularly remarkable girl. So, I knew I could speak to her with candor. 

I told her that sometimes when one is "becoming" it can be an uncertain time. Especially if your being is larger than you know how to handle or know what to do with. She asked what I meant.

I explained to her that you have different kinds of people. People who will always and forever be happy and content just with what they have. They don't aspire to me more than what they are. Their transition is an easy one. It's not a big deal, because what you see with them is pretty much what you get. I told her it's like walking on the beach to get from one end to the other. It might seem like a long way, but you see where you started, and you see where you will end up. It's comforting for those people. But, I told her, that there are "other" people...people destined for greater things than just sitting on the beach where they came from.

A person destined for great things will have a more difficult time in "becoming", have more challenges, seemingly go through more painful moments. I told her she is a person destined for great things. She liked that.

I told her each of us has the capacity to use pain and fear as tools for growth. Some people never understand or know this. Other people find out the hard way. And some, are attuned enough to understand this from the very beginning. She is one of those people.

I saw the quizzical look on her face, and just then a large passenger jet took off overhead. I smiled.

I told her that unlike the people who evolved like a walk on the beach, you have people who are going on this incredible journey. As a deeply evolving human being it is a difficult time of growth and change. A time when you don't know quite what to make of life or yourself. You don't know who you are supposed to be. Or how you're supposed to get there.

I likened it to getting on a jet plane. You get on this plane knowing where you began and kind of have an idea of where you want to go, but you can't see your destination from your point of origin. You just know to get there that you have to trust your pilot, and be ready for anything. Adventure. Mishaps. Delays. Being re-routed. Mechanical breakdowns. Irate fellow travelers. Uncomfortable seats. Cramped quarters. A lot of other travelers who may or may not know what they're doing. Some are going for work. Some for fun. I explained that the best part of this "trip" IS the journey. Each leg of this journey, you pick up souvenirs, supplies and sustenance...you meet people and "collect" things that help you continue on. My daughter's interest was piqued and I had her full attention.

The thing with journeys like this, is that you have to have faith that although you cannot see your final destination, you know you will get there. And just enjoy what you have going along. You have the tools to enjoy this journey inside you, take note of what you learned along the way and the guide with whom you can check with in case you get lost or waylaid along the way.

I told her at this point that she is such a traveler. She seemed pleased.

I look at my daughter and am amazed. She's always been a child whom is more deeply involved. She watches. She observes. She takes in. She can be a child of great mystery to me. Her thoughts, actions and heart are so open and accepting, it's profound being around her. Each of my children actually. They are like me...a child of happiness...indigo children...

What are indigo children?

"The indigo child is here to bring us closer to our true essence. We think our minds are separate because of our bodies. These children know differently. A true indigo travels comfortably between worlds usually at night when we think they're asleep.
Our thoughts and feelings are not our own. The truth is, we have forgotten who we are and how our minds are connected to each other. indigo children remember and have an inner knowing that far exceeds our psychic abilities. 

Having said this. Not all children born since about 1980 are indigos. Many brought major challenges from previous lifetimes they're still working through. But, once the lessons are learned and the patterns forgiven, they will join the ranks of the cosmic caring indigo. 

Indigo children are not freaks of nature. They represent a giant leap in our own evolution of consciousness. Many indigos are psychic either through dreams or awake. The one underlying reality about these special children is they know they are here to change the world into a better place. 

Many indigo children just don't fit with kids that are considered "normal" by adults. But usually they are respected for their powerful sight, kindness and strong caring. If another child is having difficulty, often an indigo child will inform parents or teachers of this problem before it even occurs. They pick up on other people’s feelings. 

Indigo children live in the present moment, are guided by a higher power, and have a mission they are driven to accomplish. 

The spirit world responds to these children, because unlike their parents, they are open to this other dimension, and trust they will be okay. 

The children realize that "thoughts are things"...as you think so shall you be...literally. 

What we do here on earth affects other planets and beings. This is most likely why the indigo children say other beings care deeply about us, and want to help us overcome our destructive ways. All things are made of energy and it’s the same energy here as it is in the entire universe. Quantum Physics confirms this. 

When you think about it, how could our actions and thoughts NOT affect the whole. Think of it like a body. When you burn yourself, your finger hurts, but your entire body is affected and aware of that burn. It's the same in the universe. We are after all just a small part of the ONE...the collective consciousness of the universe. 

Indigo children are here to teach unconditional love. This is a reoccurring theme. 

We are all different. We all have a different purpose on earth. But, that purpose is ultimately the same...to live in unconditional love, peace and harmony. Why are we here? To learn what it means to truly love each other and ourselves.

 " ~Sandra Weaver~

Before you start thinking, "Oh, she's off her rocker...into all this new-age mumbo jumbo." Think about it this way. We need guides. We need people we can turn to and ask the hard questions. We need people that can see the struggle that we all go through and help to understand the struggle. Some of us don't know where we get this information, but we have it. I've been told since I was a very little girl, that I am special. I am different. I'm old beyond my years. There are things that I remember that I have no business remembering. 

This is why I told my daughter sometimes it's difficult when your being is larger than you know how to handle or know what to do with. It's a difficult thing to know you have something very different about yourself. It's a burden at times to feel so deeply, to be so sensitive you can feel what others feel, a great responsibility not to use your ability to make people feel what you want them to. But it can be a beautiful thing to understand that you have the ability to make people understand things about themselves they have a hard time articulating. I won't say I'm entirely comfortable knowing this about myself. And it's not like we have super-powers. We're just more sensitive. 

We all can be like this to some degree.My children are very much like that. And we are all such travelers. There are those of us who understand things about these journeys, not because we know everything, but we know what's important to learn about them...and to pass them on. 

As a mother, it's my job to make sure my children have what they need to accept their special gifts with grace. To make them understand that it doesn't have to be an uncomfortable thing to go on this journey. That every time they see a jet plane take off and land or walk on the beach at Point Woronzof, they remember that it's okay to be different and it's okay for them to not know where they are going. As human beings that's all we want. To know we're going to be okay.

Let me tell you today, right now. You're going to be okay. If you're afraid of your journey, remember that there are a ton of us taking that journey right there with you. Don't be afraid to talk about yours. You may unwittingly help someone else become more at ease about their own journey by sharing some of yours. As I tell my children, the scary things in your life don't have power over you if you can bring them out in the light and talk about them. They lose their power when they are shared. Then there are better things that take over, some things that grow when shared. Understanding. Love. Compassion. Trust. Bonds of friendship. Kinship.

That's what part of this journey is all about. To share. To grow together. To love. 

"Final boarding call for your journey."

Don't worry about being ready to go. You're already on your way. You're already leaving on your jet plane...
