We as adults, constantly cripple children‘s confidence, creativity, passion and free spirit out of ignorance, fears and insecurities, but pretend we want them to grow into independent, self-confident, powerful adults.

No wonder our human evolution has been so slow until now. If we could only get a momentary glimpse of our adult world through their eyes, to see what they see and feel what they feel. We would be shocked, our lives radically and irreversibly transformed.

Children are the key to the evolution of our species.

Children need to learn human experiences in order to serve their soul’s evolution.

Adults need to remember why they have been learning their human experience.

Adults are lost children who have no chance of evolving unless they get in touch with their inner child and help other children not to become lost.

We adults have to prove to children that we are not mean and cruel by nature, but that we are simply lost and we recognize that. We need children to help us recover our inner wisdom, which they can access more easily and directly. We need to encourage them to forgive our stupidity and not feel hurt anymore by our ignorance and arrogance.

We need to create a space where learning is natural, uninhibited, effortless and fun and flows in all directions: adults teaching children, children teaching adults, children teaching children. Teaching, however, has to be in the form of humbly sharing our experiences, rather than transmitting objective knowledge.

In terms of education, life itself is the vehicle of education. By nature, children are curious, creative and intelligent beings. Not recognizing this fundamental fact simply indicates our limited trust of life.

We can support children in order for them to learn basic, fundamental ways of self-learning.

We must trust their intuition and follow their rhythm, learning what they consider essential, interesting and immediately useful. No matter what we think is useful, children will only learn what they consider useful to serve their soul objectives.

 Everything forced on them will be forgotten quickly, perhaps needing to be learned again at a later and more appropriate time. However, we are so sure that we know what is best for them that we fail to listen. Our arrogance and mistrust has a poisoning effect on their soul’s and our soul’s evolution.

Children learn not simply through their parents or teachers, but through all adults and children surrounding them. What these people do and how they feel about life sets the foundation for learning. Children choose and blend role models and information that are most appropriate to their evolutionary needs.
