     Teach these truths to your children.
     Teach your children that they need nothing exterior to themselves to be happy-no person, place, or thing-and that true happiness is found within.  Teach them that are SUFFICIENT UNTO THEMSELVES.
     Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
     Teach your children that failure is a fiction, that every trying is a success, and that every effort is what achieves the victory, with the first no less honorable then the last.
     Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
     Teach your children that they are deeply connected to all of Life, that they are One with all people, and that they are never seperate from God.
     Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
     Teach your children that they live in a world of magnificant abundance, that there is enough for everyone, and that it is SHARING the most, not GATHERING the most, that the most is received.
     Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
     Teach your children that there is nothing that they are required to be or to do to be eligible for a life of dignity and fulfillment, that they need not compete with anyone for anything, and that God's blessings are meant for everyone.
     Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
     Teach your children that they will never be judged, that they need not worry about always getting it right, and that they do not have to change anything, or "get better", or be seen as perfect and beautiful in the eyes of God.
     Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
     Teach your children that consequences and punishment are not the same thing, and that death does not exist, and that God would never condemn anyone.
     Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
     Teach your children that there are no conditions to love, that they need not worry about ever losing your love, or God's, and that their own love, unconditionally shared, is the greatest gift they can give to the world.
     Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
     Teach your children that being special does not mean being better, and that claiming superiority over someone is not seeing them for Who They Really Are, and that there is a great healing in acknowledging "mine is not a better way, mine is merely another way."
     Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
     Teach your children that there is nothing that they cannot do, for the illusion of Ignorance can be eradicated from the earth, and that all anyone really needs is to be given back to themselves by being reminded of Who They Really Are.
     Teach them this, and you will have taught them grandly.
     Teach these things not with your words but with your actions; not with discussion but demonstration.  For it is what you do that your children will emulate, and how you are that they will become.
