Parenting Through the Apocalypse: Letting the veils fall away and seeing what remains

This has been one heck of a ride so far! It seems like a whole different world when you think back to the B.c. era – at least for those of us with eyes and hearts open, that is.

As discussed previously, the term apocalypse has many different meanings but one of the most basic understandings of the term signifies a time period when previously built up, seemingly stable pillars [of community, industry, academia and the like] begin to fall breakdown and fall apart.

There is a lot of chaotic energy around when the sides of the building everyone has been living within start to crack.

Yes, there’s lots to do – we need a new building of course, but before we get carried away with over-excited and rushed reactions let us try to remember that these crumbling structures are symptomatic results of self inflicted injuries and of maligned thought and energetic processes. In order to correctly resolve the problems, we must know what they are and where they spawned from.

It is crucial that We stop to observe the situation, reflect on the causes, the intentions beforehand, the results of the smaller processes which took place within the system, which enabled the mutation initially and has resulted in the apocalyptic events we are witnessing now. That is how we truly seek a harmonious solution and make compromises/corrections that allow and encourage healing and positive alignments.

This is one giant metaphor or a general working template, as I like to call it. It has been super helpful on my journey, both individually and as a parent, to apply this kind of big picture understanding as a filter over my own POV while navigating through my direct life during these tumultuous times. To be able to ground down in my faith that all happens for a reason, that truths are shaking free here and that the future will contain more positive potentials, frequencies and environments is honestly what keeps me going through this ‘New World’.

This is why I’ve made this running blog topic, to be able to share my own thoughts on what’s going on and also voice out my (and others!) distinct concerns about what is taking place in our world these days.

All that I’ve mentioned above is important to get as the Individual but also, when we expand out view a bit and incorporate the role of the Parent into these lessons and settings, we have a whole new space to work within, right? Teaching our children how to seek Truth, how to recognize it and listen to it and furthermore – most importantly – to learn to balance ideas, information, emotions [energy] in the most honest, clear, truthful way that aligns with the Inner voice’s truth (God’s voice – if you like the sounds of that but you do not need to designate a specific word to it even). If we accept the lesson of balancing and apply it with an unbiased, open heart/mind/soul we can always hear the answer within any problem – no matter the version: social, emotional, physiological, metaphysical.

Anchoring my parenting in this great notion, while moving through this apocalyptic period has created a firm foundation for my family to reside upon while the world around us seems to be thrown into chaos.

Sometimes I worry whether my sons can see the work I’m doing and the reasons I do it – do they notice the upheaval and unrest? Can they pick up on the changes in society that have appeared? Will the understand the risks I am shielding them from? I want to know their every opinion on the nonsense going on, but also I want to safeguard them from over exposure because what am I keeping them home for, if not to avoid them seeing all the crap? Why would I then choose to bring in the concepts that I disagree with and feel are inappropriate for my children to witness to?

These are tough decision and situations imposed upon us now. The stakes are higher than ever, as well. But, I find comfort in knowing that we teach our children through action more than word. They learn through witnessing what we do, how we respond to things, how we choose to interpret the event or choice, as well as our actual reactions we go through with. I feel confident of my performance through the uncomfortable tasks and tests of 2020-2021 and so then, I must also extent out to my sons that same love and confidence and allow them integrate the lessons/knowledge in their own ways.

But seriously, the honest risks and viable consequences are enough to scare any parent, I would think. But herein lies the rub – it wasn’t…

I was very surprised, actually. I thought more parents would draw the same line in the sand that I did. 2020 was a learning moment for me. What I took away from the whole charade was a deep knowing that I will never excuse away, justify or malign my consent with something that feels untrue, wrong or incorrect to me. I sense this knowing within and recognize it as Divine and inspired directly from God, therefore it stands above and apart from any man-made bureaucratic declaration.

If I could pass on just one piece of advice to my sons specifically, it would be that right there.

I know other like-minded parents out there have also been exercising their Sovereign Right muscles and, if you’re one of those, then you know the amazing feelings of strength, energized vigor and endless gratitude for your chance to be a parent during these epic times on our planet. It’s my hope that more of us will begin to share and speak up about the truths we see in the world – both sides: the truths appearing in the world from under the rubble of the empires collapsing, as well as the truths we discover within ourselves that have been there all along but needed some catalyst to uncover it.

This is the reality of ‘end times’ – the previous versions were not correct (for whatever reasons, they are infinite,) and contained impurities, distortions, AKA lies. We are familiar with and ‘know’ the previous versions and therefore lots of the falsities come as a surprise. Much like having painted one image over another; we are now able to peel back or remove the layers piled over the original.

I hope you can sense the magnitude of work available, just in that simple metaphor.

Let’s create a visual within the scope of parenting, to familiarize us with the general concept first. Then I’m going to offer up my own recent experience as a specific example to see how definition and alterations can add in different nuances and layers of lessons and evolution to that certain circumstance.

Your child’s divine role can be understood within this painting metaphor – they hold within them an original, unique image painted by Source, created on purpose with purpose.

The Original version is already there, but we paint right on top of that, don’t we!? We make up so many reasons, and we fool ourselves into thinking our original is just not good enough. This is the First Lie; it meanders in; dressed up in flashy, trendy clothes and toting all the social clout – claiming your plain starting point is bland, plain and unoriginal. Or even worse, Not Cool. And so, piles of paint that look like what Others deem acceptable get plopped right on top of your painting.

Sidenote Reminder: The original painting is actually private and an ongoing, constant work of art that eternally fluctuates as the Individual and Source paint it together in real-time. Each Individual views their own perception of their painting – and, like a multidimensional projector of sorts, they share out yet another version of that painting for Others to see.

For added visual reference, the original painting is underneath and so the Truths of the painting will always seep through and be seen in the topmost layer. Like one of those Eye Spy or Where’s Waldo type of image – where there is a lot going on but there is still an overall theme displayed in the picture: under water, a shopping center, prehistoric era, etc. Our projected paintings could be imagined in this sense.

Our children’s painting’s may reflect images we don’t approve of or like. Their inner truths may be hard for us to look at. (I actually have come around to accepting the idea that maybe, on purpose they don’t jive with us on these certain things, as to act as catalyst for us parents.) Their truths may make Us question Ours – and at that point, we should be able to step back and maturely assess the questions as an eternal student of life; but many cannot or simply will not do that introspective work.

Instead, we may encourage them to just paint over certain ‘things’. As we were prompted as children, perhaps? See the cycle? Starting to understand how we got here as a collective? By forcing people (most conveniently done while still children, of course!) to paint over things others don’t “like”; so much so, and all the time, that little by little we’ve each added thicker and thicker layers on top of our original paintings.

We parents are the victims as much as perpetrators here – but with accepting that dual role and unique footing it gives us, we can break the cycle bit by bit with our children and change the overall outcome – if we can consciously choose to do so, that is.

We must try to break that and allow space for free expression of natural feelings and ideas. When we make the space for our children they feel it and they respond in turn – with openness and receptivity. Children want to be seen in the Light of their Parents – their conscious evolution depends on a steady stream of incoming love and light.

And now the metaphor can come full circle – this whole lesson on uncovering the painting within is exactly what has happened on a large scale with Humanity and our systems and what we see playing out and causing these apocalyptic times.

Now, with all that said – I’d like to end this blog with my own version of this lesson, in which I recently peeled back another layer of the onion on.

My older son will be turning 18 years old in 2024 and will be approaching Highschool graduation. This is a pivotal time in our lives; both in his own personal life and as a general parenting milestone. I’m sure every parent out there can relate to the scenario: you hold the baby when they are small an imagine just what life will be like when they are 18 and nearly full grown. It’s no wonder I’ve been a bit nostalgic lately.

This new epiphany or lesson learned about letting the truth be and show itself on its own accord has instigated my thoughts about the present truth of the world and how I currently live my life in the most honest way I can and seek to teach my sons to do the same. This means meeting the real world with common sense and a plain eye. I don’t want lies or distortions and when I sense them, I root them out. This is clearly not well received in the mainstream population and is a large part of the reason why I enjoy a reclusive lifestyle presently. Most people seem keen to hide certain things and dance around obstacles yet want to also instigate drama at their convenience and complain about their poor results. It is so ass-backwards and upside down that I can’t even put up with it!

Anyways – my point in mentioning all this is to set the scene for this inner struggle I’ve been facing which is the strange ways in which the future has played out. I would have never, in a million years, ever imagined that by my son’s senior year we would be living the life we are. And yet, I absolutely love how it has turned out and still, I had no clue it would be this way.

I was reminiscing with my husband about when the boys were small and I used to daydream about this time of our lives would be like: the boys half grown and mostly independent by then – one in high school and probably driving and the younger one almost doubled-digits himself, as old or older than my oldest even was at that time! I can remember those days so clearly. I’m still so blown away by how wrong my expectations were, and how upside down this New World really is.

I’ll just quickly share here that I had the classic ideals in mind B.c. I really wanted my sons to have the traditional, American school/sports childhood that’s full of lots of friends, fun, practices and games, birthday and holiday parties. Predictable yet also uniquely their own because I would allow them to do what they wanted. I was dead-set on giving them the childhood I thought I would have wanted, full of all the opportunities I felt I’d missed out on. I know, its an obvious/basic desire for most parents but still, just want to highlight my original expectations and underline how deeply I felt that they were rational and probable in our future.

I had painted these lovely images, which at the time, I felt were rooted in the highest good and best potentials for us all. These paintings were generic scenes like those first days of school, halloweens, New Years Eve parties til midnight, birthday parties and summer vacations. A classic high school theme was there, too, complete with pep rallies, proms and graduation – all of which I would get to be there, snapping photos and being the good mom. Sharing moments with friends who had typical, similar lives. The essence of the American community – or so, I thought.

Back then I was ignoring the rotting lies hiding in the images I was creating. I was excusing away certain things because it was just the way it was – for example, I’d accept that bullying and peer pressure happen at school and I would parent to combat those kinds of situations. I would attempt to counteract it by strengthening and enlightening their hearts and minds as to why they aggressor is acting in such a way, take the high road and all that. But there is still the underlying incorrectness of the public school model itself and I was wrapped up and serving it back B.c. Those images and promises I made up for our perfect future were all founded on lies, and so they had to fall away. I should feel no remorse or guilt as I remove the paint off the surface levels and get back to the real truth underneath.

The classic public school scenarios have needed and worthy lessons, I’m not trying to say they don’t – but seriously, how long must we press repeat in order to get it finally? For me and my family – now is the time, it’s always Right Now and I will not compromise my sons well being and potential for any reason, no matter how many still cling to their veils.

I’ve allowed layers of veils to fall away and still I sense and see distortions that indicate other, finer veils reside over my Being. It’s a lovely notion to accept the constant motion of change and to seek not the end of movement but the enjoyment of the ride. This is the truth which is uncovering itself in my own person apocalypse now.

I have realized so much by comparing that which I thought our future would look like against the true nature of what we find ourselves living within now. The most important realization has been recognizing that I paint images of expectations and memories with my own unique hand and therefore I distort and impact the image as I paint. These personal touches are not always correct even though they may feel true – but it is not even about the correct or incorrect application, it is about following the feelings of truth and how honestly we do that which holds the real power and potential for momentum/charge collection.

The Truth will set itself straight on the world stage because that is its very nature; to be the same while other things change. We should never worry about when or how Truth comes out but instead spend our time and energy on the honest assessment of all transactions in our own direct vicinity where we actually hold power and dominion over the processes taking place; and observe/assist those. This way we are active participants in our own worlds but also not active victims of the external circus show taking place in the Mainstream.

As I see it now, without the total upheaval and usurp of the Old World I would have never been pushed to completely redo my life, make the hard decisions I have and switch to living a more simple lifestyle in the ways we have without the drastic measures taken by the fanatic government and their jackboot sponsors.

Yes, our years haven’t been typical but isn’t that the point? Of course my children’s lives have been disrupted and different; we are living through the collapse of civilization – who’s hasn’t? The weird way in which people are forgetting the inhumane pressures that were put on us just because they’ve lessened a bit – going about life like nothing happened.. is so strange to me.

I honestly think the way people have children going to school, sports and all these extracurricular events while still keeping along with the lie that there is some ultra dangerous virus floating around town is beyond bizarre, it is directly harmful. When you force children to think in two opposing ways simultaneously and then convince them that the “right” answer can only be discerned by an authority figure of whatever sort, well you have a recipe for lifelong victimization and enslavement.

This presumed lie everyone agrees to when they go about each day, like there wasn’t a huge ponzi scam dumped on us is the root cause of our most prevalent diseases. I will not teach my children to duck their heads and go along with the easy street, one size fits all model of life just because it’s safe.

And now the true nature of my painting and those of my children are really starting to evolve. We are peeling back the false or forced coats of paint, redefining and correcting areas which were previously blurry or shadowed. I’m starting to see the old images have lingering truth that remains but the picture underneath is even more beautiful than I could have imagined or created alone.

The scenes we inhabit these days are much more satisfying and connected. We spend time together and hear each other. My sons are able to learn and explore the world around them in a way that has their highest good at the very core of each activity. I am able to give both of them the special attention they deserve and tailor fit all of our days to their liking, as well as always being able to take our time on things we like or even don’t like as much because it may be a more difficult concept. I am teaching them to build their lives in empowering ways and I know although some of those “regular” milestones are looking different than expected, they are also turning out more enjoyable, too!

Thanks as always for reading, if you made it this far. I would love to hear your parenting experiences! Feel free to comment and share or send me an email directly @ third.eye.navigation@protonmail.com
