The shocking truth was few people knew enough about how to learn to adequately teach these young minds. This is so important because what happens in the first seven years of our lives lays the foundation, the pattern, for an entire lifetime. These patterns are repeated throughout the life over and over. The strengths as well as the weaknesses. This does not mean that you cannot overcome any kind of adversity that you may have experienced as a young child. It does mean that what we give a newly incarned soul during the first seven years will make or break that individual for that lifetime. Applying metaphysical principles and practices in your own life prepares you for parenting. When you know basics of disciplining the mind, you can teach them to a child. Concentration, listening, recall, meditation, relaxation, intuitive skills. Personal responsibility, integrity, wisdom, and a love for Truth. When you learn spiritual principles and practices from a very young age, you can imagine what you might be able to accomplish throughout an entire lifetime.

How and what we teach the youth of the world determines the kind of world we will know in the next ten years, fifty years, the next hundred years. A recent U.S. survey of kindergarten through twelfth grade teachers asked what skills they thought their students would absolutely need in the next millennium. About 45% of them said the students would need mastery of a second language, 63% noted science and math skills, and 67% said students need to have technology and information background, ie. computer skills. Ninety-five percent of the teachers said their students would need proficiency in problem solving. Yet, very little problem solving is being taught in U.S. schools. Yes, there is a bevy of hypothetical 'what ifs' but these are nothing more than secularized morality plays that teach our youth how to think negatively. They fail to teach reasoning which is the instrument of problem solving. Imagination is being taught even less in our schools. We can continue to wait until a problem arises, then go about using our innate or God-given reasoning capacities to try to correct it. But it is far more visionary to be able to imagine what you want to occur that would benefit yourself and other people. Then find a way to make it happen. The difference is feast or famine. The difference is peace or war. The difference is wealth or poverty. If you have to wait for conditions to be a problem, then you have to wait for famine. You have to wait for poverty. You have to wait for sickness. You have to wait for war before you can set the creative intelligence that you possess into motion to solve that problem. We must teach our children how to use their minds fully, productively. And we must set an example. "
