QUESTION: We are the
parents of a 3 year old
daughter and a five year old
son. We wanted the

children. They are in good
health. We are financially
comfortable and in good
health ourselves.

We are

Cold as a stone

QUESTION: I have a dear
friend who has become very
interested in what he calls
“consciousness raising”
activities. He speaks quite a
bit about improving his
awareness and so _ forth.
There is no doubt in my
mind that his interests along
these lines have made him
more enthusiastic about life
and have opened up for him
a different attitude about
himself and about other
prople - and even about the
universe. .

That’s all swell. But the
other day he gave me a
stone, saying, “Hold it in
your hand and feel the
energy that comes from it.”
His eyes were shining in
anticipation of how I would
be affected by his stone.~I
found myself lying to him. I
told him it was amazing. But
Mr. Stewart, it was just
another cold, hard stone as

both loyal church workers
and our religion is very
important to us. All four of
our parents are living, but
not in our province,

We've been thinking it is a
good time for us to he
talking together about what

far as I saw. It was nothing. I
didn’t feel anything special.
Why can't I experience what
he is obviously so pleased
about?

STEWART: Probably a few
months back, the stone, to
him, might very well have
been, like it was to you, “just
another cold, hard stone.”
His reaching toward more
awareness has allowed him
to be more open to the
experiences of life than he
used to be. It could well
become the same with you!
On the other hand, even
people who are extremely
“aware” do not always have
the same experiences that
others have. Some people
see auras - others don't.
Some people are telepathic -
others are not. Some people
can “visualize” things when
invited to do so - others
can't, at least for now.

Now, two matters that I
invite you (1 hope) to think
and talk and experiment.
The first is ENCOURAGE
THEIR SENSE OF
WONDER. They were born
with it, and, usually, unless
adults train them to ignore
it, their sense of wonder
stays with them and lures
them into fuller lives. That is
a superlative gift for your
loved ones.

The second is this: EN-
