Children's Books on Mind over Matter

Traveler said Nov 28, 2007, 7:03 AM:

 

Last week my 11-year-old nephew was perusing one of my bookcases and asked if he could borrow “Powers of Mind.”  I told him the style in which it was written might make it difficult for him to find what he was seeking.  He asked me what I meant, and I told him he would probably need a dictionary beside him while he read.  Frustrated, he said,  “Hasn't anybody written it for kids?”


So that is my question to all of you.  Do you know of any books that specifically deals with this subject in a language an 11-year-old can process?


He wants to know if there is a book that can teach him:

1.  How not to believe in illness when there's so much around; what to do when you get sick; how to help your friends when they get sick
2.  When others are being mean how to not react to in anger or hurt feelings.

3.  How to think for yourself without feeling you are betraying authority figures when they tell you what you should believe.

Any help you can give me would be welcomed!

This is not exactly what he's looking for, but i think an eleven year old could probably understand it

http://www.michaelsharp.org/thegreatawakening_ebook.pdf

it's a basic spirituality book and cover the nature of the body and mind, basic spiritual technique, and basic right thinking. Your nephew sounds bright so I'm guessing he coudl extrapolate from here.  The book homepage is here

http://www.michaelsharp.org/Ascension-Awakening/The-Lightning-Path/Spirituality-101/

and the full pdf is free (and relatively short)

there's also this book (Vayda Jayne Bean) which is about a child's inner divinity. The pdf is also a free download.

http://crystalchildrenbooks.com/Vayda%20Jane%20Bean

I'd also recommend The Book of Light

http://www.michaelsharp.org/Spiritual-Books/Cosmology-Theology-Consciousness/The-Nature-of-God-and-Creation/

sounds intimidating, but my eleven year old was able to read it without much difficulty and only a handful of questions. The book of light can actually provide the foundation upon which

all of these I thing could help give someone the foundation that would allow them to develop the knowledge they need to deal with illness, anger, and authority.

Hi - I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for either, but the Sara books from Abraham-Hicks are written for kids and are a great introduction to the basics of the Law of Attraction.

They'd be perfect for a boy or girl of that age. Frankly I enjoyed them and I'm 39. Here's the link to the first one:

tinkonthebrink said Apr 24, 2007, 12:51 PM:

 

I like the reflection aspect a little better than the question part (which seems to imply that I have answers or something)….so having said that, here is what comes to my mind:

Share a night dream you remember vividly.

Food is life - tell about a meal with a life affirming impact for you.

When your mind wanders, where does it go?

Tell about an experience where you were completely surprised and caught off guard.

Talk about a person famous enough that they intrigue you without knowing them personally, living or dead.

You have one magic talisman in your pocket. What is it and what does it mean to you?

Panwithin said Feb 15, 7:11 AM:

 

If three wishes could be granted in your personal life right now, what would they be and why?

  1. Peace - Its all very ridiculous in this day an age its not already present…the world just needs to grow up and stop behaving like a bad child! There's no need for military aggression, there's no reason for division other that greed - Why don't the USA give back the trillions of dollars they stole from Iraq, instead of cushioning their own lives, are more 9/11s really the answer?
  2. Defense - we don't really have any - the planet's wide open?
  3. End of Capitalism - its slowing us down, carrot and stick mentality worked in the dark ages, but, we are all too advanced now and the world would progress tens quicker without it!
If you could change one thing in your community (totally change this one thing!), what would it be and why?

The end of all abuse, by ending capitalism, we end all abuse…its that simple! I would replace it with welfare, well-being, and quality of existence benchmarks, for the collective community of the human race. Everyone in their own lifetime be given the opportunity to self realize to a wider understanding of one race and have the opportunity to discover their own spirituality.

You are on a desert island, what 3 things do you have to have with you?

My cat, a Swiss army knife, a solar lighter…perfect - see you all in the next life!

What television character do you most identify with and why?

Ray Mears…he's out there!

You can ask God one question, what would it be?

Please Sir! Can I have some more?



You can access the Akashic Records. What one truth do you wish to know?

These records are not complete, what is completeness?

What will be the greatest invention of the 21st century?

Survival!

Would you live on another planet?

Yes!

What country, besides your own would you like to live in?

All countries are one, I live in the World…Pangea!

What one great teacher would you like to study under?

It's not Newton…maybe William Wallace

What has been the most profound change in the world in the last 25 years? Why?

Recycling…sustainability

When your mind wonders, where does it go?

Into the future…the planet of homo-sapiens are at Peace, we no longer invest peoples time in the mundane necessities of economics, we are no longer controlled by its short coming and its inability to solve problems effectively. Instead we reuse all the positive elements of commercialization to organize the needs of the whole community collectively. That is, we share the fruits of the earth collectively, all humans are treated equally and a child in Africa, India, S,America, Russia, China (all such places) is as important as a child of the president's, all known knowledge and problems are fed into the collective race, identity  of the self, self realization, collective identity and realization and spiritual diversity of the whole is absorbed to instigate the collective brain of human intellect towards the greater good of all living creation in the universe. We all share a collective identity as the human race towards progress and everyone is given homes, food, clothing, transport, community prerequisites of establishment and integration. Development of the human potential is integrated into the collective and communal aspects of life. The collective feeds the chain of development through the knowledge and production center's around the world, but, is tied into the status and progress of its purpose and effect. Everyone is involved with life on the planet and off the planet, to increase our knowledge awareness of the larger world of the universe. We make Peace with new species in distant galaxies and make new homes and defenses on other planets, we attain unlimited fuel supplies and nurture the planets eco-system back to health. The focus is on well-being, welfare, development, progress, achievement, truth, justice, liberty, equality, the new civilization of the human race not the past divisions of independent nationalistic warfare of greed and internal corruptions. Instead of development taking 50 years we start to achieve our targets in 1 year, because the collective gene pool of information accelerates development and the sustainable communities are involved, but, not draining the lifeblood out of the system like it is now. Anyway thats somewhere near where my head goes to escape reality!

You have one magic talisman in your pocket. What is it and what does it mean to you?

In todays world the talisman would be a credit card with unlimited credit, to wipe out all debts, sufferings and abuse in the world. In the future the concept of money is deemed unproductive so it would probably be something more significant like a tele-port key, a star-chart compass, a universal translator, a personal shield, an alethiometer or an amber spyglass.

A few questions, some political, some psychological:

- Do you know what freedom is? Or is your definition given to you by others?

- Why are there such extremes between poor and rich in the world?

- Is it true, that world famine would stop, if all obese American would start a thorough diet?

- Is it true that in Americe more lives are lost because of poor education and bad healthcare every day, then in the entire Iraque conflict?

- Do you know what habbits you have, and people have become to accept to be 'you', even if they don't like them?

- Do you look up, at the clouds and trees, at the buildings, and at the ants in the grass?

- Do you know how great it is to be alive?

- Would you kill for love?

Re: Questions and Reflections: Add yours!

Panwithin said Feb 15, 1:38 PM:

 

A few questions, some political, some psychological:

- Do you know what freedom is? Or is your definition given to you by others?
Freedom is a concept of universal integration of the species when applied to the collective race, or, a personal sense of fulfillment in ones own pre-concept of the term. Application of the term to a nations identity is counter productive to the collective application.

- Why are there such extremes between poor and rich in the world?
Capitalism, the board-game reality of the civilizations legitimacy to protection of ownership of continents in the World! It's a blast - buy nukes invent money and control.
- Is it true, that world famine would stop, if all obese American would start a thorough diet?
No, to stop famine and poverty we have to integrate all the races of the World into one Race - the Human Race and start managing that instead of playing the game-board reality of world domination…at the moment the Americans are winning…great show - well done you win.
- Is it true that in America more lives are lost because of poor education and bad health-care every day, then in the entire Iraq conflict?
Probably, I only have experience of some domestic abuse victim's. One such woman in Washington, as been prostituted out since being a child to the men from her church, since, as a suffer of 'DID' her mother claims she has no soul, therefore the men are committing no sin, because God cannot see her, in her communities eyes she is bad born and worthless. She was married off to the local butcher for the purpose of producing boys, which she did, he keeps her on a chain, breaks her ribs every now and again and refuses her medical treatment until she passes out. The community covet their abuse, including police and health-care authorities. God bless America.
- Do you know what habit's you have, and people have become to accept to be 'you', even if they don't like them?
I have no sense where money is concerned for sure! My last partner fleeced me of two properties, got £100,000 worth of work done on her property and left me with the debts for her car, piano's and credit cards in my name. Cool a true capitalist. Since Christmas i've spent nearly £20,000 on my two remaining credit cards keeping prostitutes off the streets while trying to get them of drugs…I should be going to prison soon since the finance companies are closing the net, with fraud allegations. Cool. I may just look for other options out of my life habits, if I have enough money left!
- Do you look up, at the clouds and trees, at the buildings, and at the ants in the grass?
Yes, I look past the superficial exterior of life into the abyss of sin, chaos and wonder if hell on earth is true to the existence we experience.
- Do you know how great it is to be alive?
Yes and No. All things have a beginning and an end the in-between is what you make of it, at who's cost I don't know!
- Would you kill for love?
Yes, if it was everlasting!

Where do your beliefs come from?

Beliefs play such a pivotal role in every facet of our lives. What we do, what makes us angry, where we buy and who we hang out with… Are they generated from nothingness? Do they pop into your head? Are you the original creator of your beliefs, or do others play a role in their creation? Where do your beliefs come from?
