A Teacher named The Beloved One.
Received by Lytske.

The Beloved One: "Thank you for paying attention to my prompts. It is ever so that where your heart and mind are, there I am, too. I am apprised of all your intent, your thoughts, your actions, as I live and work within you, so you can pay me more of your mind.

"You see, dear one, I am never far away, and no matter how much you have your mind occupied with other things, I am with you. Therefore, I desire that you pay me more attention, and give me more of your mind, so I can lead you more and more in God's will and ways.

"However, I can only do this with your permission. You know and have experienced for yourself how difficult it is to have a recalcitrant child pay you some mind in his or her unwillingness. You realize that it is far better to raise a child with love, so it will pay you some mind and attention.

"How much easier it is to lead a child that pays attention to the parent, as he or she knows that this would be far better than thoughtless and obstinate behavior, which always carries consequences.

"Even little children need to learn that unruly behavior leads to consequences. In this manner they learn how to become more thoughtful, and become independent thinkers, as they will have learned from a very young age to see the result of their behavior in the correct light, and learn to think matters through before acting out.

"This difficult lesson is learned under the guidance of loving elders, who for themselves have learned this most difficult lesson of paying attention to the instructions of their parents and other well-meaning adults.

"Morality comes into play here, together with honesty and sincerity, as life resembles a jungle 'out there' with shallow thinkers and mindless entertainment.

"Therefore it is important for a child to, at an early age, learn pay attention and also to be told that a most wise, loving Guide lives within each one. It would be so wonderful if parents could teach their little ones that a very wise Guide in the form of a Still Voice lives within them, and that they can learn to pay attention to this Still Voice. They would always be able to go within and be silent for a while to learn from or consult with this most wonderful Guide and make friends, and to be called on at any time the child so desires.

"Tell children they have a Spark from God living within them as an invisible Friend, to help guide them throughout life, as long as they pay attention to what is said.

"You know of the help and guidance I have been to you, even when you did not know that it was I who prompted and motivated you to at any time make certain decisions according to your highest intent and purpose."
