Booklet Three of the Conscious Childrearing Series, intended for practitioners in the Reality-Way of Adidam. The Practice of Ecstasy with Children presents Avatar Adi Da’s Instruction on supporting children in the devotional relationship with Avatar Adi Da and in learning the devotional practices that engage that relationship.
Avatar Adi Da offers Great Help in understanding what a child’s authentic religious life and practice is. He also points out false notions about life and God that parents and teachers tend to give to children, notions that come from conventional and essentially Godless messages received as part of growing up. The fact that adults still tend to relate to children on the basis of these ideas and assumptions points to a level of conventional “mind” that is still carried with us beyond the childhood years. Thus, the material offered in this booklet has great value not only for children but also for adults, relative to understanding and releasing inherited ideas about God, and discovering how to cultivate an ecstatic devotional relationship to Avatar Adi Da Samraj as the Living Divine Reality.
How much of what your children do is actual ecstatic practice in devotion to Me? It is not that you are to learn ecstasy when you are forty, you see! If you do not oblige them to practice the Way of the Heart, you are forcing your children to choose an alternative to ecstasy. You must be very mindful of this possibility and reinforce in each child what is ecstatic, self-transcending, and life-positive.
