Dear Ones,

This video is about integrating the Lower Mental Body into the Higher Mental Body so as to achieve Unified Mind.

There is an edited Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.

I thought I would go into a little more detail about the nature of the relationship between the Lower Mental Body and the Higher Mental Body. It goes like this …

Characteristics and Limitations of the Mind of the Small Child
The Lower Mental Body is like a child before it reaches the age of reason.

When we are small, before we reach the age of reason … when we are little children; toddlers, say … there is a type of intelligence we have, that everybody loves. If you think back to relationship we have with children of that age … to the way that they feel and think and respond to our talking to them and our holding them and feeding them, and so forth, you will begin to understand the nature of the Lower Mental Body.

You may recall that a child of that age needs to be told things again and again, because its memory is not very great. It has some memory of things, especially things like sleeping and eating and walking and so forth; but not so much of a memory of the type of facts that grownups cotton to … things like dates and schedules and calendars … things like timelines, for instance.

It knows about Christmas, because of the feelings associated with Christmas; but typically does not know when Christmas will be … how long from now that might be. So it has no notion of timelines and historical perspective … although it likes to hear stories about that. It likes to hear about how things were, long ago, and so forth.

Also, it does not have much of an ability to reason things through … to work with logic. The left brain, I guess, is not very developed. But intuition is there; that is the right brain, right? And so very young children generally cannot work out problems of math, and usually cannot do geometry. They can play music, because music is kind of a bridge between left-brain mathematics and the intuitive, feeling world.

They also do not have a strong grasp of what is socially acceptable, and what is not; although, from an early age, parents take pains to help them to understand what will help them to get along in society, and what behaviors will not.

So that time before the age of reason … which is maybe eight or nine years of age; maybe a little different … before the age of reason, a child can be instructed in what I would call character or morality … the social niceties. And then after that age begins the formal education in things like mathematics and science, and so forth.

You will also recall how spontaneously the toddler laughs, and how infectious that is; if the toddler laughs, everyone in the room might start laughing too. And how lovable they are … incredibly lovable. And how sweet; how they reflect their moods without a social mask. So for instance, if they get very angry, everyone in the room knows about it.

It takes love and hugs and that kind of thing to calm them down and to bring them back from tears to laughter. So … physical contact … tactile contact … physical stimulation … are extremely important to the toddler’s development. Let’s see what else …

The tone of voice that we use to the toddler is also very important. Moms often have this down. They know exactly which tone of voice to use, to make the child understand that it is deeply loved, so that it can get over its fears … to admonish the child, in case they need to do that, in such a way that it is not destructive to the child’s self-esteem, but still prevents the behavior that must stop from occurring. Yes? So moms have a well modulated way of inculcating social values and morals and so forth. They do it in such a way that the child is not Soul-wounded by the experience.

Now there is always room, in every child’s young life, for a slip-up on the part of the parents, is there not? And parents, without a doubt … down here in this realm of Duality … are bound to slip up occasionally. And so the minor instances, where a parent well meaning and certainly well intended, slips up during a child’s very early youth … those are what we call Soul wounding that the child carries.

So that is what I have to say on the Lower Mental Body, which we all experience in the first few years of our life.

Qualities of the Left Brain, Which Takes Over When the Age of Reason Is Attained

Then when the age of reason is reached, the left brain kicks in; and the left brain typically … because of social approval … peer approval … and especially parental authority, school authority, school teacher approval … the left brain has a tendency to take over, and leave behind the feeling world of childhood.

The truth of the matter is, as the age of reason hits us we become much less lovable. [laughs] And that is because we are hiding behind a social mask. We are calculating what might happen in the future, and figuring out what happened in the past, instead of living in the moment. And we tend to delay our joys, and not follow our heart, because of our notion of timelines.

The Faultiness of the Typical Social Construct Is the Presumption That a Person Has Only One Timeline
This is the notion upon which the left brain bases its decisions on actions in the world.

Timelines are a very interesting and helpful concept for humankind; but not the kind of timeline that we employ after we reach the age of reason. This is because the social construct of timelines is faulty. And I have discussed this in other blogs.

But basically, we can pick whatever timeline we want. We can jump timelines, into any time that we want. We can merge old timelines that are of no value to us, with Awareness timelines that we really like.

So the concept of a static timeline with karmic implications is not very useful now, after the 2012 Shift. Now we have the realm of all possibilities, and we have the ability to jump to any alternate timeline that we wish.

The Further Left Brain Notion That the Child Must Take the Consequences of His Actions for the Rest of His Life

To get back to the poor child, after the age of reason, stuck in the notion that there is only one timeline, and that here he or she has to take the consequences of his or her actions for the rest of his or her life … that they can come to decisions in the world that are incontrovertibly detrimental to them … that they can make fatal mistakes, and that they had better watch out, or else!

Some say: Or else they will go to hell! And others say: Or else they will go to prison! And others say: Or else they will be sent to a mental institution! Or else that they had better see a psychologist or psychiatrist! Or else that they will be sent to detention hall! Or else that they will be flunked out of school! Or else that all kinds of terrible things can happen to a child that does not do what he or she is supposed to do! Right?

These two faulty notions: that of the timeline ‘graven in stone’ and that of the karmic trap we create through our actions, take much of the joy out of our existence, and prevent us from following the heart … for there is that fear; that constant fear of acting in the world in conflict with societal expectations.

On Rediscovering the Inner Child
After decades, when one remembers one’s childhood, one may begin to heal childhood upsets, befriend the inner child, and accept the spontaneity, joy, and laughter of the Lower Mental Body.

The years go on, for this young person who has reached the age of reason. Then … they might be in their twenties or thirties, or much later … they may remember their childhood way of being, and begin to realize that all the neuronal learning … all the wiring for the type of behavior and the ability to receive and project joy, that they experienced in their early years, still exists … basically in the lower intestine, in that area of the body, as the Lower Mental Body.

Some call this ‘getting in touch with the inner child’; it is the same thing. We begin to remember how we were; and we begin to accept all the spontaneity, all the joy and laughter and happiness … just the total joie de vivre of that child … and incorporate it in our own essence.

Unified Mind
The left and right brain, the voluntary and involuntary nervous system … all the neurons of the body, can become one Unified Mind.

In this way the left brain and the right brain join through the corpus callosum. And the neurons of those areas of the head and of the spinal column join with the ‘outer’ neurons … the neurons of the intestine and the other internal organs, and so forth. It all becomes Awareness. We become aware of all these portions of our nervous system … the autonomic nervous system, the involuntary nervous system, the voluntary nervous system … We have a lot of ways of describing all this; but basically, all the nervous system becomes one.

The Boundary Area Between the ‘Child Within’ and the Higher Mind: Where Astral Chatter Arises Prior to Attaining Unified Mind
We may hear this in our own energy field, or in that of a friend or family member, and mistakenly think it is the voice of a stranger.

Sometimes, people become aware of the ‘child within’ … the Lower Mental Body … first, on the clair plane … in themselves. Or more likely, they will clair hear the ‘child within’ their significant other. They may think that their significant other is actually talking to a third party, when in fact, in a pretty much subconscious way … at the borderline between consciousness (which is the Higher Mental Body) and unconsciousness (which is the repressed area of the Lower Mental Body), that ‘astral chatter’ arises in the significant other.

There, in that borderline area of communication … through your own tutelage, or through their own leap into Awareness of Unified Mind … they can become aware of what is going on in the Lower Mental Body.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that they are talking to someone else. They are just coming to consciousness of their own second self … their own ‘better half’, as it were.

As the Boundary Area Begins to Break Down, We Begin to Hear the Voice of the Inner Child
It is not a stranger to be put off, ridiculed, or ignored. The way to get rid of the voice is to offer the inner child unconditional love, and an open astral ear.

I hope this helps in an understanding of what many people are now going through; coming into contact with maybe the ‘sulky’ child, or the child throwing a tantrum, or the little child hiding away and certain that he or she will never be loved. I hope it helps in speaking to that child; reassuring it that it that that child will always be loved … more than anything! … better than anything! … unconditionally loved.

I hope in helps in just listening to that child … as was not done very often, in early childhood. Mom just does not have time to listen to all that prattle, you know? There is a very great deal of talking that needs to be heard from the Lower Mental Body, by the Higher Mental Body. So … with patience … with love … we can come to the fullness of understanding of who we are, in the mental realms.

Tiny Electric Charges Going Off In Abdomen
After the inner child’s voice is heard, and after it becomes certain that it is loved, that small voice within becomes quiet. Then when one calls the inner child, the energy of the Lower Mental Body may be felt as pinpoints of light or tiny electric charges, that surge upward to the heart.

I ought to talk for a minute or two about what happened to me after I became more familiar with my Lower Mental Body, my ‘inner child’. We had a few talks, over a few days, and then a week or so later. And then after that it seemed like the emotional affect that had been left over from childhood mellowed out … as if the personality of the inner child changed, and became more trusting and loving and open.

I began to sense tiny electric charges going off in my colon and then my other internal organs. When I called the inner child, I could feel the electric energy … I could pinpoint sensations of electric energy coursing up, to meet in and meld with my heart.

It became less of an experience of a personality there (as in the beginning), than of a unifying of a field of energy that had to do with the electrical operation of the neurons in my body … both in my head and in my spine, and in various places elsewhere. This sensation of all that becoming united, I call the experience of Unified Mind.

The Sound of the Voice and the Emotion Conveyed Are of Paramount Importance When Talking to the Inner Child

One thing that I have found out about my inner child, is that the sound of my voice, and the emotion I am conveying, are the most important thing. When I speak to my inner child, what I am trying to convey a feeling of enthusiastic love … the kind of love that lasts forever … the kind of love that no circumstance will ever contravene … the kind of love that a mom has while playing with her young child. It is this, the sound of the voice, and the emotion conveyed, that heal the inner child.

Here are an image and a video of a mom talking to her young child … just to give a notion of the way that the voice sounds, and the types of words that are used, which are so effective in healing the inner child, the child within …

Video: Mom talking to baby, by Danielle Lowe, 19 July 2015 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdLKpxktJB4 ... Notice the eye contact, the emotional content, and the way the voices sound. Notice the mom’s repetitive phrases, and the baby’s very simple replies.

 I call them the ‘lost children of the Soul,’ as we may have more than one … a couple … or one that keeps changing, expressing childhood wounding situations.

Ways to Get in Touch with the Inner Child

It is a very interesting journey: Taking the hand of the inner child, and going on that journey of the upsets of early childhood. Let’s see … Here are a few ways of talking …

On Reading or Singing to Our Inner Child. There may be those who just do not like that idea of talking baby talk like that, or just do not have the experience. And so I have another idea for developing a friendship with the inner child … one that anybody in the whole, wide world can do …

When we were young, most of us enjoyed hearing nursery rhymes and the golden books … the children’s stories … that our parents read to us. And that inner child that is within our gut … down in our ‘lower triangle’ … still remembers those stories. So a fail-safe way of developing this relationship … this unified mind … is to find some children’s books … some nursery rhymes and children’s stories … and then just read them ourselves, maybe right before bedtime. Guaranteed to work, over time!

This is the last thing along those lines; and that lullabies and songs from childhood … to buy some of those old CDs with the lullabies and songs on them, and play them right before bedtime.

These are some of the many ways to befriend the Lower Mental Body: Enthusiastic, motherly ‘baby talk’; singing it little made-up songs; reciting nursery rhymes and children’s stories; or playing lullabies and songs from childhood. I believe, amongst all those tools, there will be something that is bound to work for you.

On Visualizing a Little Child Sitting on Our Lap. As you employ these techniques, imagine and visualize that you actually have a little child sitting on your lap. Imagine it is smiling and laughing happily as you talk to it or sing to it. This act of visualization is very important to the technique, as it brings forth the wholeness of feeling from your energy field that will be needed for the transformation and unification process to take place. 

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

The phrase ‘inner child’, I feel, is itself an ‘image word’ that deeply affects the subconscious mind, whose language consists of image words. For more on the language of the inner mind, see …
