Daily Channeling for Oct 9, 2009.
June: I notice that the generation of my children are coping differently with the change than my generation. They seem to have great foundations for thought and life, and yet many of them feel the need or the pressure to drink, take drugs, or smoke cigarettes. Is there any way to help them not need these emotion numbing tools?
* You said it right, these are emotion numbing tools.Because of the speeding up of everyday life, parents have less time to be with their children, and families have less family time together in order to ease the processes which the youth (who can seem privileged, but actually are working very hard) are going through.
June: But there has been a perception that "the world belongs to the youth" and
* Not any more, because the world is changing every day, and is not static enough to "belong" to anyone. The youth today have not been allowed that privilege of special attention, or special positions for launching successfully into their futures. All are living the NOW and all are adjusting to the tidal wave changes that are occurring at such a fast pace.
June: So, drugs, cigarettes and alcohol help relieve the tension of all of this.
* Not only. They also are one thing left from their parents' youth that is still around and flourishing. Nothing else is the same and they need to find comfort in something that hasn't changed.
June: Is this because they see that the parents are struggling too with the NOW?
* Not all parents are struggling, it is the wrong word. Drugs, alcohol and cigarettes are familiar, and old. And for that reason they can find a certain amount of comfort, familiarity, and clarity using them. They know they are illegal, or bad for their health; they know the consequences of becoming addicted. And all in all, the influence of these emotion numbing tools help youth come to a common note when they meet; each one flying, speeding and rushing (or not) at their own pace. This common note, this common fog that besets all, unites them to allow love and peace to flow between them freely, and brings a good vibe to their minds. In an awkward way, there is something healing, and freeing, and comforting in the use of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes today.
June: Are the ways of going on between young adults and parents changing from what they were 20 years ago?
* Of course, but we will talk about that tomorrow. This is enough for today.*
