Youth have been mostly overlooked when adults consider solutions for critical problems.
Some typical responses are:
“They don’t have the experience or maturity to deal with major issues.”
“All they care about are watching videos and texting each other.”
“Youth? Their major interest is sex.”
“Help the world? Are you kidding?!”
Well, I happened on a video that shows a group of youth doing what most people consider an adult occupation.
In fact, they’re doing it just as well as the adults.
Mature? Capable? Informed? Organized? Disciplined?
Spiritual Quote:
“In spite of the encircling gloom….There are many notable signs of the awakening now in progress. Men and women everywhere, and the youth of both sexes in particular, are devoting their energies to the service of great ideals.
“National service in itself is a training for the reconstruction which must take place in the world…National service is great, but world service is greater.
Lady Blomfield, The Chosen Highway , p. 3

Hi Dear Alex, This is SUCH an important post. I too know this to be true of our youth. I taught music to kids of all ages and they are AMAZING. If someone sees them, believes in them and encourages them they can do anything. You wouldn’t believe the things kids are doing to save the environment. Just because a soul is still in a small body doesn’t mean it doesn’t see what is important and needed. Kids rise instantly to greatness when seen. I applaud you for writing this. I watched the video also. Amazing story. Thank you for knowing this about our youth. They are so smart, creative, inspiring, dedicated and insightful…given the chance.
The youth of today are the ones who are going to take care of this earth from now on. Instead of ignoring them, we should be shaping them to do the things that the adults of this generation aren’t doing well enough: protecting the environment, caring for the people and living things around them, and so on. I think the youth can be more readily steered in the right direction to begin with easier than adults will change their ways now.

Dear Robin,
The music in your videos inspires me and we both know you’re still a “kid”…
When I was a kid I had the blessing of playing instruments and singing; soul-building experience!
Thanks for supporting the intent and truth of this post!!!
Kikolani,
Being an adult, I can emphatically state that I wish I’d had more creative encouragement as a youth!
Yes, They Are Our Future !!!

“There are many notable signs of the awakening now in progress.”
I like the Dalai Lama traveling around the world teaching people about Buddhism. The Millennium Forum and the Millennium Summit and the follow up consultations at the United Nations. The Earth Summit and all the activity in the development of our global civilization.
“In spite of the encircling gloom…” The whole world economy is booming. We will eliminate the extremes of wealth and poverty. The present economic difficulties are a wave of progress, purging a lot of corruption and inequality out of our economy. When the economy recovers, and it will, we will have a much more level playing field.
What do you think about my blog? http://9earthling19.blogspot.com/ Is it totally out of line or do you think blending spiritual and economic culture is a good idea for a holistic healing and teaching blog?
I am checking into your websites and blogs every once in a while to learn from someone far more experienced at this than me. Allah’u’Abha

Do you think blending spirituality and economic culture is a good idea for a holistic healing and teaching blog? I am investigating your website to learn from someone far more experienced at this than me. Allah’u’Abha
