Bedtime Story

"Daddy?"
"Yes Sweetie?"
"Will you tell me the story of when the sun used to rise in the east?"
"Sure. You like that one don't you?"
"Yeah, it's my favorite."
"Not too long ago, the sun used to rise in the east and set in the west, instead of what it does now. Back then people were very confused about life and why we are here."
"They didn't know about love?"
"They thought they did, but theirs was a very different kind of love. Most of the time when people said, "I love you," it meant, "I need you," or "I'm afraid of losing you."
"But how can they need someone or lose someone if we are all one?"
"They didn't know that we are all one back then."
"Why not?"
"Because back then, people were stuck on the wheel of karma, and they kept making the same mistakes and never evolved."
"That's sad."
"Yes it is, but it was all part of the journey that brought us here."
"Tell me about governments."
"There were governments that would make rules for the people to follow, and if the people didn't follow them, they would be punished."
"Where did the governments come from?"
"The people put them there."
"Why did the people need to be told what to do? Couldn't they think for themselves?"
"Back then most people were very afraid that other people would do things to them that they wouldn't like, so the governments had things called armies that would scare people in far away places so they wouldn't come here and do bad things to us."
"Why do we fight with people in far away places?"
"Because some people used to think that everyone should live the way that they do, so they would try to force other people to live their way."
"Using the governments and armies?"
"Yup. And the whole time, they didn't realize that by hurting someone else, they were only hurting themselves."
"Because we're all one?"
"Exactly, Angel."
"Tell me about the machines."
"Well, when people wanted to go far they had to drive in these things called cars that would move faster and take them there. When they wanted to go really far, especially if they had to go over the ocean, they would go in these big machines with wings called planes."
"Why couldn't people move fast or fly without these machines?"
"Because people didn't know how to harness the energy and use it themselves, they needed the machines to do it for them."
"Just like how they couldn't make light unless they had a lamp?"
"You got it."
"What was it like when the change happened?"
"It was very dark and very still. Then...BANG! The sky lit up and everything was crazy. All the planes came crashing down and cars crashed all over the place because they stopped working."
"Because all the energy that was trapped in the machines was freed?"
"Right again."
"What did everybody do?"
"Well, most of the people were very scared because they didn't know how to live without all those machines so it meant that their lives would be very different. Plus back then people lived for less than a hundred years, so it was hard for any one of them to understand the big picture. But people like me and your mother and your aunts who were alive back then, weren't afraid. We knew how to work with the energy and we knew that it was a change for the better, that it was the start of something wonderful. Especially because I knew that I couldn't bring you into the old world, and once the change had happened, it meant that soon you would come to us. Once we left the people of the old world behind, your mother and I knew we could finally bring you into this world."
"Is that why you're so old?"
"Ha ha ha! Am I that old?"
"Well, you're the oldest person I know."
"I'm the oldest person I know too! That's because the year I was born there were very few of us. Around the time Auntie Pam was born there were a lot more, and there were more and more ever since."
"What happened to the people of the old world? Did they die?"
"I'm sure there are some left. When we left them behind, they were still here, it's just that we are at a higher frequency than they were so we couldn't see them and they couldn't see us."
"Was anyone you know left behind?"
"Oh yes. Almost all of my friend and our family was left behind."
"Is that why all my cousins live with us?"
"Yes. Everyone that lives here with us is all that's left of the people I knew."
"Do you ever miss the others?"
"Oh yes, but they are happier where they are and couldn't live here. And I'm happier here and couldn't live there."
"Don't worry Daddy, we'll all be together again some day."
"Thank you, Sara, you're right."
"What do you think they did when they were left behind?"
"Probably tried to rebuild the world the way they remembered it. Probably had this big "battle between good and evil" that their religions foretold."
"What were the religions for again?"
"Religion was a way of making God into a thing that was out in space, far away from us, that made up rules that we had to follow and if we didn't, we would be punished."
"Like a government?"
"Yeah, I guess it does sound a lot like a government."
"How come they didn't know that we are all God, and God is not something "out there", but "in here"? Didn't anyone tell them?"
"Oh yes, lots of us tried. I think they were afraid. I there was no God "out there" who would take care of them, who could they blame if something happened that they didn't like?"
"Didn't they know that everything happens for a reason?"
"Some did, but not at the level that we do. They thought it meant that the god "out there" has a plan for us."
"They didn't know that we choose our path before we are born?"
"It was harder for them to remember. Their frequency was a lot lower than ours so they couldn't access the information."
"It must have been so hard for them!"
"It was. But it was all necessary to get where we are today."
"YAWN...I know."
"Are you ready to sleep?"
"Yeah..."
"Ok, I'll see you in the morning. Sweet dreams."
"I love you, Daddy."
"I love you, Saraswati."
"I'm glad I picked you."
"I'm glad you picked me, too."
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight, my little Goddess. Namaste."
