Promotional Preview of my new book
I AM A RADIO
Transmitting and Receiving
A Children’s Book
Written by: Tamara L. Lesley
It was Monday and Mrs. Lewis said that she had chosen a topic for them to study and discuss in an open format. She wanted the class to participate in investigating and experimenting with a subject that would allow them to share their thoughts with the class. This subject would prove to be much deeper and more inspirational than she thought that it would be as the days went on.
Mrs. Lewis was surprised with all of the information that she would have to learn to share with the class including the vibrations of love between two people as they met and fell in love with one another. She was not sure how she would introduce this part of the subject but knew that it was all part of life and quite natural.
The subject consisted of only two words, but those two words began to have a whole new meaning to her. The two words were ‘vibrations’ and ‘frequencies.’ Connected they would become ‘vibrational frequencies’ and that was what she intended to teach the class. She wanted them to experience that we are all a part of one another regardless of financial status, race, nationality, or religion.
She had originally thought that this would be a fairly easy subject to teach. She had not thought about how important the very action of both words combined contributed to our everyday life. Our life depended on vibrational frequencies every moment to keep the Earth alive and turning on its axis, and to sustain even our breathing or movement of our bodies. Even the atmosphere was charged with vibrational frequencies from the weather, the sun, the moon, and the movements from the clouds and the electromagnetic field of motion.
On the chalkboard she had written the meaning of both words from the dictionary before the class entered the room. The words appeared to be difficult to explain but she had a plan to show the children how to understand both words combined by a few simple examples.
She pointed to the words on the chalkboard and asked them to read the definitions and then think about how the words could be connected to one another. She asked them to think about what the word ‘vibration’ meant and then add the definition of ‘frequencies’ to it. Both words combined would be ‘vibrational frequencies.’
Mrs. Lewis was a little worried that she had chosen a tough topic as she looked at the classes’ reaction. She wanted to challenge the children to think about something that would make them question the complexity of life and yet see how simple the action of the words worked together quite magically.
She asked Jon to stand up and read the definition of ‘vibration’, which he did with flair. She then asked Lori to read the definition of ‘frequencies.’ They both looked at each other as they stood up to read what was on the bulletin board. Jon seemed to be interested but a little wary about the homework for this subject. Lori read the definition of ‘frequencies’ with hesitation. She hated to be singled out in class and dreaded to stand up and talk in front of the class.
Lori was petrified to even think of having to take a test on ‘vibrational frequencies.’ She thought that this was something they should be studying in high school and wondered what the teacher was thinking. They both sat down and shrugged their shoulders at the class looking a little puzzled.
Lori couldn’t believe that Mrs. Lewis expected them to remember everything about this subject unless she had a trick up her sleeve to help them. She thought that this subject was way over her head as she sat looking at the chalkboard. She was hoping that she could understand the meaning of at least one of the words well enough to pass the test at the end of the subject matter. She was usually quite smart but these words frightened her to even begin to comprehend the meaning of them combined. To her the word ‘vibrate’ meant to move quickly, as in quiver or to move quicker than the eye can see, as in vibrational sound waves. She understood that much at least and felt a little relieved by that thought. She dreaded this week but did not know that the class was in for a treat as they learned more this week through verbal interaction with one another. Each day would bring about a change in the way all of the children thought about learning.
Mrs. Lewis said that ‘vibrational frequencies’ go hand in hand and she smiled. She said that she could see the anxious reactions from the class. She told them not to worry that it would all fall into place and they would soon see that this subject could be quite fun and inspiring to learn.
This is what made her a good teacher because she was always looking for ways to get the attention of each student so that she could make learning easier for them. She took her job seriously and truly enjoyed seeing each child as a unique individual with different needs.
As she was talking she was playing with a yo-yo. She was walking around the class doing different maneuvers with it such as walking the dog and other little tricks that her son Dane had taught her. She was having fun watching the children look so perplexed yet surprised by her actions. She could hear some of them whispering and laughing among themselves at her.
She was quite confident that she would soon make them feel a little easier about their new assignment. They would find that this week was going to be a new way of learning, by hands on activities and by learning more about how you think and feel when a subject begins to consume your every thought.
The class started laughing out loud at her and was even more surprised when she started playing a drum and a violin that she had borrowed from music class to prove her point. She didn’t know how to play either instrument but she knew that this would show the children what she meant by ‘vibrations.’
She told them to listen to the deep vibrations resonating from the drum as she struck the drum slowly and loudly. She asked Billy to come up and feel the vibrations as he struck the drum. He looked surprised and said that he could feel the vibrations in his hands running up through his arms. He rubbed his arms and sat down understanding the meaning of vibrations without realizing it.
Mrs. Lewis invited the class to take turns playing the drum, sharing it with one another for a couple of minutes. Now everyone was beginning to understand the new word ‘vibration’ without any trouble. They were surprised by the depth of the vibrations that vibrated up their arms and into their body. It was a pleasant feeling to feel the force of the sound running up through their arms as they struck the drum.
Next she asked them to listen to the ‘vibrational frequencies’ as she tried awkwardly to play the violin. As she drew the bow across the strings it squeaked and squealed enough for everyone to hold their ears and laugh at how funny she was today. She tried very hard to make the sounds so displeasing that the class wouldn’t have any trouble understanding the meaning of the two words combined. She could barely stand to hear the high pitched screech of the bow dragging across the violin and laughed as she gingerly sat it down on her table careful to put it safely away.
She asked them if they could hear and feel the difference in the ‘vibrational frequencies’ between the drum and the violin. They all agreed that they could and were happy that she had stopped. They clapped for her awkward performance and she bowed graciously. She told them that they had returned their vibrations of love and interest to her by their clapping for her.
She asked Jason what he had felt by her playing the violin. Jason said that the vibrations were much higher, and that it made him feel like it did when someone ran their finger down the chalkboard. He said, “I’m sorry Mrs. Lewis but you need to take lessons before you play the violin. I can’t bear the sound.”
Everyone was laughing as she was putting on her show of the meaning of ‘vibrations and frequencies.’
She then bounced a ball unexpectedly across the room to Nicci. As soon as Nicci caught the ball she instinctively bounced it to Tony that was sitting near her.
Tony looked at Rachel and bounced it to her laughing because he had caught her by surprise. Rachel dribbled it several times on the floor and then bounced it to Dane. Soon everyone was bouncing the ball to one another and the class was becoming a noisy playroom. They had forgotten that they were studying and were having a lot of fun with the ball.
Mrs. Lewis was hoping that her show of movement and sound would cause the class to apply their actions with the two words combined. She wanted to help them to understand the meaning of the words easier than the definitions sounded from the dictionary.
Mrs. Lewis clapped her hands and caught the ball in between a bounce, and asked for the class to quiet down and listen to what she wanted to share with them. All of the children were ready to sit back down for time out. Lori thought that this subject might not be so hard after all if the day was going to be filled with contact sports and games.
Mrs. Lewis sat on the edge of her desk breathing hard and laughing at the reaction of the children. She saw the opportunity to share a well-known saying with them that she remembered from her mother, “Action brings about reaction.” She told them that their laughter and joy was contagious and that what you put out is what you receive.
She said, “For instance if you go home and pick a fight with your brother because he played one of your CDs, then he will in return react with anger and may even break the CD. Your actions made him react out of anger causing both of you bad vibrations between one another.”
She finished by saying, “You could have went home and asked who had used your CD, and why it was out of its case. Your brother may have said that he had been listening to it and apologized for not putting it where it belonged. You probably wouldn’t have minded if he had asked, or if he had put it back where it belonged.”
She shared her thoughts with the class about the words of the week both separately and combined, making sure that everyone understood what she was trying to teach them.
She then asked them to copy the definitions in their notebook because they would be discussing both of them singly and combined this week both at home and at school. She pointed to the chalkboard and told them to copy the words and definitions so that they would have them in their notebook for further reference.
The words were written one under the other. She wrote the word and the meaning so that the children could remember the meaning of either word. She had tried to make the definitions as easy as possible without leaving out any of the meaning.
She wrote: vibration – is a quivering or trembling motion or movement, which is also called oscillation. To quiver is an instance of vibration or the action of wavering. It is a periodic motion that may be seen or felt as a distinctive usually emotional atmosphere capable of being sensed by feelings, sound or even by vibrational thoughts coming from the act of humming or singing.
The following word was ‘frequencies’. It was written below the definition of’ vibration.’ She wrote: ‘frequencies’-the number of repetitions of a periodic process in a unit of time, such as the number of complete oscillations per second of energy (as sound or electromagnetic radiation) in the form of thought waves or radio waves.
She had told the class that the ‘vibrations’ and ‘frequencies’ of vibrations cause many changes and mysteries in our world and that some are not yet proven nor solved. ”Life is full of mystery and these two words have many meanings and involve many different areas of our life unseen,” she added.
“Many vibrations are quite easy to explain such as the vibrations of touch and the feelings of anger, love or laughter that we sometimes feel from other people through their vibrations being directed towards us. We also transmit vibrations to others sometimes without thinking about how we are going to affect them without even speaking. Just a hateful look, or a snicker can cause another person pain,” she explained.
Rachel raised her hand and asked, “You mean that we should think before we speak, and that our actions speak louder than our words?” Mrs. Lewis put her hands on Rachel’s shoulders and said, “You must be listening to some of what your mother is trying to teach you. That was very eloquently expressed Rachel.” Rachel sighed and smiled. She was happy that she had made Mrs. Lewis proud of her and that she knew she was listening to her.
The teacher went on to say that sometimes you can walk into a room of people discussing something and feel the emotional vibrations in the room. These vibrations give you the choice to know whether you to choose to stay, depending upon the circumstances.
Mrs. Lewis asked us to sit in pairs across from each other to feel the vibrations from the other person as an experiment. She explained that this was another way to feel the vibrations from other people as a thought or feeling. She asked them to rub their hands together briskly and then to close their eyes clearing their minds of all thoughts. She suggested if we had a thought to see it as if it were a cloud floating by and out of our perception.
She then told us to open our hands palm side up on each of our legs and to breathe in deeply holding our breath for a moment, and then release it breathing like this three times softly and deeply. At that time she asked us to raise our hands in the air in front of our heart center with our hands facing the other child.
She requested that we hold our hands about two or three inches from our partners hands being held in the same way not quite touching each other. She asked if we could feel tingles or vibrations coming from the other student.
We were amazed at the vibrations that we felt coming from the other person without touching them. We had feelings of little pinpricks or tingling sensations and mixed emotions as the class shared with everyone what they felt coming from the other person. The room was charged with the energy of anticipation and excitement. We were enjoying the atmosphere of love that she had invited into our hearts for one another. We didn’t realize that the body gives off a vibration of its own and that others could feel it if they took the time to notice.
Mrs. Lewis said that this practice could also be used when we are upset with someone if they would participate with you sending feelings of friendship or forgiveness to them.
She also said that we could quiet our thoughts and allow our higher vibrations to help us while taking a test. She said that we might try asking our Angels for help in answering the questions correctly and use the first thought that we received without questioning it. We might be pleasantly surprised by the grade that we received if we learned to listen to our heart.
At first the class was not too happy when she announced the ’two words’ as the subject matter of the week but now they were looking forward to see what she would present for them to try the following days. They were having fun learning without trying.
She said that the words had so many meanings that we may have to continue with the subject next week. We really didn’t mind because we were learning how to become one as a class and felt a friendship growing among us.
Jon raised his hand and said that it made him feel as if they had combined their energies and that they had all formed a new relationship with each other. Even the two bullies in the class had seemed to soften and were participating in the class, which was unusual for either one of them. They were beginning to feel like part of the class and didn’t desire to harass any of the other children. This was a new feeling for them to experience and they even found life at home more pleasant because they were learning to feel what others felt.
Mrs. Lewis realized that she could teach the children much more than she had expected and was surprised by their reactions towards one another. She was enjoying listening to the students and what they had to say about many other things that cause vibrations. There was a noticeable difference when the class entered the room with a feeling of awareness that life was offering them its deepest secrets.
Dusty said that even a cars’ engine gives off
vibrations when it is running, and that he could feel the vibrations on the
road from his skateboard.
The class agreed that they all hated it when a bee seemed to be determined to sting them. They could hear that frequent little buzz in their ears making them want to run away. They didn’t understand that the quick movement made the bee more determined to chase them because of the movement of the air mass. Mrs. Lewis explained that they were more likely not to sting if you stood still or moved slowly away.
Mrs. Lewis gave the class a trick question to think about. She wanted us to ponder how vibrations are shared between each person even when they were not aware that they were participating in the blending of our Universal vibrational feelings. She explained that what one does, says, or thinks affects someone else and that it snowballs to others causing happiness or sadness.
She told them to listen and feel for the subtle vibrations that they felt from their family members at home, and to write it down for them to discuss in class this week.
She would like to see a list of words describing ‘vibrations’ and a list of ‘vibrational frequencies’ that they had discovered while playing, eating and interacting with their family at home. This did not have to be finished until Friday so that they would have time to consider the true meanings of the words. She told them to be aware of others’ emotions and actions between each other when they were not involved. She wanted them to step back and watch how people react towards each other in any given situation.
She asked if we
thought that another person could absorb our ‘vibrational frequency’ of thought
whether it was feelings of kindness, jealousy, love or friendship when we were
near them and if it affected how it made them feel.
She said that we are
as one in thought, and that many of us share the same feelings at one time or
another. She told us to think about a four way stop with a car sitting at each
stop sign.
Who decides to go
first and what made them decide that it was their turn? There is no one to
guide the traffic so someone has to make the decision to cross the road first.
Sometimes they know who arrived at the crossing first and at other times they
just move as if by Universal thoughts combined to tell them that it is their
turn to go.
Sometimes we find
someone that is impatient and rushes through causing an accident thinking that
they could make it before anyone else moved. They were not in tune with the
Universe and the exchange of energy. This action happens millions of times
daily along with other such decisions. We sometimes react without thinking and
it is as if our thoughts are unified. We are not always on the same frequency and
that is good because we do not want to be clones. If we were all alikethere wouldn’t be vibrations from others to interest
us and excite us by the actions of others.
Mrs. Lewis said that
differences of opinions allow us to exchange thoughts and teaches others about
what makes us tick. We are who we are because of our genetic make-up,
environment and how we were treated with love or without the presence of love
in the home. She also explained that we have the option to change at any given
moment and to choose to share our love by opening up to others and learning
their ways of life to understand their actions. Life is full of surprises and
we should always be aware of them. We were in awe of all that we had never
given thought to.
We talked about how
we are given inventions as a thought or gift from the Universe, and that it is
offered to several people at the same time. It is a ‘thought process’ that is
shared with many of us to develop a gift or invention to the Universe to
enhance our way of living, or to bring joy or comfort to many others in the
world. It is our choice to use that that and to make something of it.
Many people are given
the same thought, and the person that does something with it is the one that
will prosper. Sometimes we are given an idea and let it go because we didn’t
know how to manufacture or design the item. Mrs. Lewis said that there is a
special saying that she believed, “Where there is a will there is a way.” She
encouraged us to seek help when we felt that something was impossible to
accomplish. Sometimes we need to share our thoughts with others to see if it is
possible.
Remember, ”Thoughts are things” and “What you think, so shall you
be.” Mrs. Lewis wanted to stress to the class that what we think creates an
image in our mind of who and what we could be. She
added with a little effort of studying and working towards our goal we would be
surprised at what we could do and who we could become.
“Set your goal and
begin working towards your desire,” she added. By the time you are out of high
school you will be well on your way to begin following your dream. You may need
to plan ahead to go to a certain college or learn by working in a Career
oriented situation.
She said to share
your thoughts with someone that may be able to assist you in making your new
invention and go for it. Live for the moment and the future. Soon you will
realize that they are one and the same. If you don’t follow your dream now,
what will you be doing five years from now. You could
already have acquired the knowledge to be what you wanted to be. Think
carefully about your life, and grow with the future as it develops increasingly
by leaps and bounds. Our class knew that Mrs. Lewis was talking from
experience. We thought that she had probably always wanted to be a teacher. She
taught us to listen carefully and think about she was sharing with us.
The one who has the
ambition and takes the initiative to move on their thought or discovery of the
need for this invention will succeed in making something evolve that was only a
thought in the beginning.
Listen to your heart
and your subconscious thoughts to discover the next important invention that
may change the way of life for many. There are so many opportunities that go by
the wayside because someone did not act on their intuition of creating or
improving a certain item.
Mrs. Lewis talked about different dimensions in theory, as
being an added element that may enhance our ability to pick up on
each other’s thoughts. She said that if we were open minded enough to accept
the vibrations or feelings coming from the other
person or from a higher power known as our subconscious thoughts or
a gift from our Creator we could change the world.
As the bell rang, Mrs. Lewis said that our homework for
tomorrow could be any theory concerning ‘vibrational frequencies’ written in
a
paragraph form. We all had ideas of what we would write and found this subject
to be exciting enough to make us want to do our
homework.
She had created a thought process that consumed our spirit
with a desire to acquire more knowledge about the mysteries of the Universe. We
had always thought that the world revolved around us,
and
that what happens everyday in our lives came naturally without a thought of
being able to make a difference in the outcome.
We were learning that we were important even as children
and that our actions do matter.
We would have to find someone at home or a friend to
discuss this with and then share it with the class tomorrow. We were asked to
sit
down with someone to discuss the meaning of ‘vibrational frequencies’ and what
they meant to us in everyday life.
The words had sounded frightening to us on Monday but they were
quite simple once we began to use them in everyday language.
We understood that ‘vibrational frequencies’ was a movement
of energy or a feeling that we may see, feel or hear without
even noticing being exchanged throughout the world between all living
things. Mrs. Lewis said that we would quickly see that these two words revolved
around our life every moment and that our world depended on their very
existence.
She said that everything gives off vibrations including
plants and animals and that we could use them as one of our topics if we
wished. She said that even the cat gives off vibrations of
contentment by purring, and vibrations of anger or feeling frightened when
he
arches his back and hisses with his tail straight up in the air. It all depends
on the vibrations that he is receiving.
We were asked to write a paragraph as we tried to discover something
that we knew existed, but had no knowledge of the connection
to
us individually.
Class was dismissed as we all looked at each other
wondering what kind of vibrations we were giving off to one another at that
moment. Tomorrow would be interesting to hear what some of the children
had to say that they had discussed at home and chosen to
talk about. Tuesday, Mrs. Lewis began class by asking us to sit at a table
with
only two people sitting across from one another. She said that she wanted us
to try to do something that we had probably never
thought about before. She wanted us to think more of it as a game,
but to take it seriously to see what would transpire between the two of us. We
knew that what we were going to do was an experiment that would not be graded
so we felt that this would be fun to try.
She began by talking about vibrations that are shared
between each and every human being. She asked if we thought that
another person could absorb or feel our vibrational frequency of thought
and if we could return our vibrations back to them. She said
that this vibrational frequency was called mental telepathy. She explained
that all of us had experienced this at one time or another
and
may not have recognized it as such. Her question was, “How do you know when you
are receiving a vibrational frequency and how does it feel?”
She talked about different
dimensions in theory as being an added element that may enhance our ability to
pick up on each other’s thoughts if we were open minded enough to accept the vibrations
coming from the other person. She asked if we had ever experienced a different feeling
or vibration such as ‘goose bumps’ when we thought of someone that had already
crossed over in
death. “Did we feel as if they were near us, or did we feel as
if they were trying to send us love?” She asked us to think about different
dimensions and if it were possible that our loved ones could send us love or
feel and hear our thoughts as we sent our love to them. She was introducing a
world in which all of us had a story that we wanted to share with the class from
some unseen force. She said that would have to wait today and that we would
address the subject later in the class. She said that she wanted us to do this
experiment in case some of us had neglected to think about the homework that
she had assigned yesterday.
She assured us that
it would be quite interesting. Today she said that what we were going to try
was called mental telepathy. She explained that it was a process of clearing
your mind and being still within yourself, allowing all outside noises or
interferences not to bother you. Going within, means to close your feelings and
sensations from the world and listening only to your heartbeat, your breathing
or the feel of your blooding pumping through your body. Concentrating on only
one of these conditions would allow you to free your mind of all other outside
influences and would set about your process of uniting with the Universal
thought process. She said that having done this you might feel or think
thoughts that you may consider is your imagination.
Trust your first thoughts to know that deep within that
what you were receiving was coming through the divine source of thought
forms. These are the thoughts from others that you needed to receive.
If you were transmitting you needed to send your thoughts
out
to be received easier to the other student. They may need your thoughts of
love, sympathy or prayer of well being at the moment.
Don’t dwell upon it for long just write or draw what you
are thinking or receiving. In reverse, you may be receiving their thoughts.
They may be the one that is thinking of something and sending you vibrations of
love and emotional support to give you the right word.
She smiled and said that it would only take four or five
minutes of our time and that it was quite relaxing. She requested that one of
the
two sitting together choose to think of something and not tell the other one.
The transmitter would then write it down without the
other person seeing it. The receiver would wait with a clear
mind for a thought and then put it on paper. The one sitting across from them
should clear their mind and write or draw what they felt the other person was
feeling. She said that usually the first thought is right and not to try too
hard or they would not succeed. She would give them
three minutes to five minutes to complete the project to see if anyone could
feel what the other person was thinking.
Some of the kids groaned with the thought of trying this
experiment because they were not familiar with the process that she had
just introduced and had never given much thought to what other people were
thinking. Some of the students just guessed, hoping
that they would be right.
Anthony and Dusty
laughed because they already thought that they could read each other’s minds,
since they felt so close by being best friends for years. Some of the kids took
the subject lightly and others wanted to try this experiment and thought of it
as a game of some sort.
Emily sat across from Sara and wrote the word ‘swing.’ Sara
sat quietly tuning in her thoughts to Emily trying to clear her mind of her
thoughts, and drew a picture of her sitting on her swing hanging from
the large tree in her back yard.
When Anthony and Dusty were trying to picture what the
other one was thinking they could only laugh at one another and had to
be
called down for disrupting the class. They were disappointed when the three
minutes were up, and Mrs. Lewis asked the children
to
exchange papers because they had not tried to do the experiment and knew that
they could probably have been one of the few
that would succeed. She asked if any one had come close to what the other
classmate was thinking and Emily raised her hand anxiously to show the class
what Sara had drawn. Mrs. Lewis was pleasantly surprised to see how clearly
Sara had allowed her thoughts to tune into what Emily had written.
Both girls were
excited to see that they were capable of picking up on the others’ thoughts
just as easily as Mrs. Lewis had said it was if you were in tune with the other
persons vibrations. The class was interested to find
out as much about this subject as they could and they were just beginning to
question the answers that life has offered us as we studied the subject. They
were stunned
that Scientists don’t have all the answers to life and death and were quite
surprised that this subject was still an open book in which
many were striving to learn about. Now we could try to learn about
vibrations and maybe introduce our thoughts to others in our Science projects.
Dusty and Anthony were
already racking their brains for a project to prove that you can feel a
vibrational frequency between two people by just holding their hands close to
the other one’s hands with thoughts of friendship, love or sending healing
thoughts to one that was in pain and in need of relief. For being two ornery
boys they were quite intelligent and full of thoughts that one day they would
find the answer to many of Earths mysteries.
Class was dismissed and Mrs. Lewis said that they would
pursue the subject further this week just for the fun of it. The class had many
questions for Sara and Emily and some had even suggested that Sara had seen the
word and had cheated. This was not the case
because Emily had placed her notebook in a standing position in between
the two so Sara couldn’t see her word. They were both
pleased with their accomplishment and felt very happy that they had
opened themselves up to the others’ thoughts without knowing
that it was possible before this study.
Tuesday evening, Dusty and Anthony were playing outside and
decided to test each other’s ability to transmit their thoughts and
feelings to one another. They were working on their assignment from
Mrs. Lewis to experiment with the vibrational thought process, better known as
‘Mental Telepathy.’ They had given their paper to their parents from Mrs. Lewis
to explain what they were studying this week and went outside to play, finding
themselves immersed in the new subject.
Mrs. Lewis had sent a detailed paper home with the children
explaining that they were going to be experimenting with vibrational
frequencies and Mental Telepathy and that the children would probably
want to discuss the subject at home also. Some of the parents questioned what
she would say when she discussed death with the class and how she would handle
that subject without disturbing the children. None of the parents denied that
she should discuss either topic, but were curious to see what she had to say
about love and the answer to what happens after death. No one minded or worried
about what she would teach the children because they trusted her
as
a Teacher that would share her heart openly with the children and only teach
them the truth about life.
She responded to all of the parents with another note that
what she shared with the class would be appropriate and would not frighten the
children. She went on to say that the Circle of Life should be taught so that
children would never fear death and know that our Spirit continues within the
memories of our loved ones and that procreation completes the Circle of Life.
Mrs. Lewis said that our Scientists are still studying the
subject of ‘vibrational frequencies’ and that there will always be new findings
to
share with the world. Groups of paranormal scientists are striving to learn
more about life and the mysteries of where our vibrational frequencies go when
death occurs not only in mankind, but animals, insects and plant life. We
decided to see if our vibrations are the same for all types of life and if one
is more important than the other.
Each individual has a spark of light from the Universe that
is shared as one large piece of a puzzle. We were learning that everything
that exists with a life force is connected one to another whether it is a
plant, insect, animal or person. Each life depended upon one another to
support, or be supportive for another life to sustain its energy in one-way or
another. Therefore, even the smallest insect had a guiding force to live for
the good of its kind and to provide help to Mother Earth, or another larger
insect as food for them. The Circle of Life revolved not only around humans for
their own prosperity but also for each living creature in the Universe. The vibrational
frequencies of light that emanated from each living thing gave off an energy
force of love for the world. Our world
would continue evolving to its highest vibrational frequencies
so that we as one could share in the beauty of living on such a wondrous
living planet.
Our gift of an abundance of oxygen to breathe and receive warmth
from the sun gave us an opportunity to experience life in an
environment of infinite possibilities. Adding the rotation of the moon
blessed us with the night sky and a time of rest to rejuvenate our bodies giving
us a choice to grow in wisdom to our full potential. To reach our full
potential we must utilize the gifts from Mother
Earth, from the sun, plants, oxygen, sleep, food and the
cycles of the moon dictating to us our potential in a certain time frame of
adjusting our moods and elements of energy. Working with our own vibrational frequencies
of love, emotions, and the vibrations that we give off to others that are in
our space at a certain time allows us to grow spiritually and physically.
The boys sat on the porch swing after school and discussed
the meaning of ‘vibrations’ and ‘frequencies’ that they had been learning
about in school. Mrs. Lewis had said that the vibrations and
‘frequencies of vibrations’ cause many changes and mysteries in our world that
are not proven nor solved as of yet. Many vibrations are quite easy to explain
and others are still being studied.
Dusty decided to find out as much about this subject as
they could and wanted to surprise everyone with something new to share with the
class. They talked about the vibrations of a spinning top and where the energy
went as it was sent out into the atmosphere. Energy was every where and was the
product of every moving object. They decided that it was an endless part of
ongoing energy sharing itself with the world much like a whirlwind effect. They
wondered if anything benefited from that energy or if it diminished itself into
nothingness once the top quit spinning. They also discussed for a while that it
might add to the frequency of energy that is in our Universe that gives off
vibrations of motion. Anthony and Dusty were determined that they would break
the code of ‘endless thoughts’
that were alike between them. They thought so much alike about everything that
they usually could finish the others ones sentence. Neither one of them had
thought about the reason that they had not accomplished what they thought would
be so easy in class. They swung on the porch swing thinking aloud to one
another and blaming each other for what they felt was a failure of
communication between them. The truth of the matter was that they had not taken
the experiment seriously and had found it funny for Mrs. Lewis to request the
class to do something so simple.
Dusty stopped the swing and stood up to announce that he
was going home. Anthony said, “I know, I am sorry for blaming it on you.” Both
boys laughed and said that they had been thinking the same thing then and they
were sorry that they hadn’t even tried to succeed in the experiment. That is
when they decided that they had tried too hard at picking up on each other’s
thoughts because they
had
considered it a game.
They talked about energies being like a quiver of thoughts
running through the Universe and that you would need to capture it with an open
mind being quiet, and willing to listen to your inner thoughts. You would have
to clear your mind from all other thoughts
that may have been expressed by other people, music or television programs
that you may have seen. Anthony said that it was like him thinking about
calling Dusty, and then the phone would ring and Dusty would be on the other
end. He said that most people call that ‘ESP’ for extra sensory perception. Dusty
said that if you really thought about it that we are all radio’s and take turns
being the transmitter while the other person is the receiver. He was quite
right in his simple analysis and now needed to learn how to quiet his mind to
feel or hear the other persons thoughts or feelings. Even
in a group of people one or more people would be the transmitter while the
other people listening would be the receivers. So, in actuality he was right
that we are much like radios or telephones transmitting and receiving sound waves
unknowingly through words, music, thoughts or even touching one another. He was
beginning to understand that all energy was there for others to pick up from
one another if they opened themselves to the Universe.
It was called the
‘Universal Thought Process’ and he remembered that he
had heard those words before from his Grandmother.
Actually, he found it quite interesting and would practice
when he went to bed at night. He would write someone’s name down
and
cleared his mind to see if he could receive a thought from that person or
perhaps dream about them. Sometimes he thought he
had,
but didn’t know if it was his imagination or not. He only knew that there was
much to learn and he was going to research it on his computer.
Dusty called Anthony the next morning to ask him to work on
an experiment with him as they were walking to school. Dusty said that he would
practice being the receiver to see if he could pick up on Anthony’s thoughts as
they were walking to school on Wednesday.
They both agreed not to talk to one another on the way and walked
side by side not sure if this would work. They agreed not to speak and to clear
their minds of any outside interference including laughing or paying attention
to what the others were doing.
This was not as easy as they thought because they had so
much to share with one another. Anthony was dying to tell Dusty that his
parents had planned a vacation for the family and that he would be
gone for two weeks.
He would have to wait to tell him until after they had
completed their experiment and shared it with the class. He would miss Dusty
but
he knew that he would be back soon and he would have much to share with Dusty. They
were anxious to get to class to tell Mrs. Lewis about what they had decided to
do and to find out if it had worked. As
soon as they reached the classroom both of them had written a word or drew a
picture and folded it in half placing it in their desk.
Mrs. Lewis had begun the class today by saying that the
radio sends ‘vibrational frequencies’ through the air waves and transmits
the
sounds and video pictures from radio and television stations, and the
satellite’s that surround our Earth in outer space back to us.
We are able to hear the sounds and view the pictures
through the use of the radio, telephone, television and computer. She said that
if we think of ourselves as a radio we could transmit and receive to and from
each other with much practice. She said the mind is capable of many interesting
processes if we tried to use it more productively and seriously.
She talked about how the right side of the brain was used
more for the imagination, thoughts, dreams and intuition, and that the left
side of the brain controlled our most conscious thoughts and intelligent activities.
The brain is responsible for our memories, movements, and complexity of
thought, language and emotions. It is the major organ of the central nervous
system and controls all of our voluntary and involuntary movements. She even
talked about how the right side of the brain controlled the left side of the
body, and the left side of the body controlled the movements of the right side.
Jon raised his hand and asked how the brain, which is a thick grey matter,
could perform as a radio and control center for all of the body. Mrs. Lewis
said that is the primary function of the brain and without it we would not be
able to speak, hear, move, think, or have emotions of any kind.
Dusty raised his
hand and asked if he could explain to the class what he and Anthony had done
walking to school without speaking to one another, and that both
of them had agreed to write a word, or drawn a picture after they had
sat down at the assigned seat which was four seats apart. They had been very
careful not to even look at one another as they walked to school with thoughts
running
rampant through their minds.
Mrs. Lewis said that they could tell the class what they
had done, and show the class their word or picture that they had chosen. Dusty
asked Anthony to show his first. Anthony raised his picture up and it was a
picture of him in a car with his parents going on Vacation. Dusty hung his head
in sadness and the class thought that he had not chosen the right word or
picture. Mrs. Lewis went to Dusty to see why he was so sad. He said that he
didn’t know that Anthony was going anywhere but he raised his paper and he had
written, “Good-bye Anthony.”
He explained that he
didn’t want to write that, but those were his feelings. He was really upset to
know that Anthony would be gone for so long. The rest of the class felt bad for
Dusty and told him that they would play with him. Anthony apologized to Dusty
and said that he didn’t know that they were going on vacation until last night
when his parents told him that they would be gone for two weeks in
are
telephones to keep in touch. Now they had proven that they could pick up on one
another’s thoughts the two weeks would be a good time for them to experiment and
to try to improve their gift. They made a pact that they would each set a time
to think about each other daily, and keep a diary with the time and date noted
of what each other was thinking or doing.
Mrs. Lewis said that information from telephones is also
transmitted around the world from homes by way of radio frequencies
(called R.F.). Cellular phones are
transmitted through the use of cellular sites and satellites that are placed in
stationary orbits around
the
Earth. In this way we are always able to stay in contact with one another
through many devices that mankind has given careful
thought and energy to invent for our use and for our safety. She
continued saying that we also have the pager, and handheld
radios that emit frequencies to allow us to keep in contact with one
another in places that are not accessible to telephones, or are
used for personal enjoyment. These items are most likely to be used when we
are mountain climbing, hang gliding, parachuting or bike riding.
We also learned about the sonic boom that is felt and heard
when an airplane breaks the sound barrier by a plane, which travels
faster than the speed of sound. This is caused by a Mach 1 or
higher and causes the vibrations sometimes to travel with such a strong
frequency that you can feel the rumble through the Earth, but mostly we hear it
through sound waves that travel with a large volume of sound. Vibrational
energies surround us in and around our homes and the Earth keeping our
thoughts, bodies and vibrational frequencies on an even keel to keep our world
healthy.
Mrs. Lewis said that seismic vibrations are another type of
vibration that comes from the core of the Earth when the platelets of the
Earth cross over one another causing an Earthquake of small
or larger magnitudes depending upon the shift of the Earths platelets
and
the damage that it has caused the Earth. It is measured on a Richter scale to
tell us of the severity of the Earthquake.
When we have Earthquakes the vibrations disrupt our way of
life by destroying buildings, changing the pattern of the Earths surface
and
sometimes causing death from the destruction of highways, homes or cracks in
the Earths surface that people may be standing
upon. That is why we have Seismologists always on the alert for any shifting
of the Earths platelets so that they can forewarn us of any looming danger and
hopefully give us time to leave that area of danger.
Today was a day for listening and learning. She said that
even the moon has a vibrational effect on the Earth by causing a change in
the
oceans waves creating high and low tides affecting the Earth in many ways. The
high tides affect us only if there is a storm front
behind it causing flooding to some areas. Mrs. Lewis said that
even the moon affects many people emotionally when there is a full moon, half a
moon or a quarter of a moon. She said that you would have to study astrology to
understand the effects the moon has upon us. Even the month that you were born
in determines your personality and the way that you accept and approach life
within a certain degree. There have been many Astrologists since the beginning
of time that has studied the Galaxy for answers that we find to be quite right
and a fascinating subject.
The Sun’s vibrations affect the Earth from its source of
heat that it provides or does not provide, depending upon the season of the
year. Without the sun there would be no Earth. It sustains us with the nourishment
of vitamin D and with the photosynthesis that causes all plants, animals and
people to grow and survive. Without the sun the Earth would freeze and soon
cease to exist as the planet Earth. Nothing would survive without the light and
the warmth of the sun, plus the nutrients that the Sun provides for all living
creatures including the plant kingdom. Even the oceans and rivers would soon
dry up and disappear and the Earth would be barren. The Earth would be another
barren planet in the galaxy of stars among the millions of others.
She also mentioned another vibration that most young people
are not familiar with yet, and should not be until older. However they
need to have knowledge about the human body before it happens so that they
will know how to handle the situation. They had already received sex education
in the Fifth grade so she felt comfortable bringing up the subject with a
little hesitancy. Mrs. Lewis began her speech of puppy love and true love,
which lasted for most of the period. She began by saying that it is sometimes
called “Puppy love” if you are young and feel an attraction to one another.
Puppy love is when two children like someone better than the other children and
think of them as their boyfriend or girlfriend. They form a close bond between
one another and feel tingles of excitement as they smile at one another and
talk about many things that they both find interesting. Most children feel
these emotions many times and may have their feelings hurt if the other one
does not feel the same way about them. This is nature’s way of preparing you
for the emotions of love and attraction later in life. She said that it also
prepares you for disappointment later in life if your feelings of attraction
are not returned. It is a valuable lesson in life to teach us about the
dynamics of adult feelings and actions without the full involvement of physical
reactions. Puppy love usually begins when entering grade school and carries on
through high school, although the teenagers may feel that it is more than that.
Some parents allow
their teen-agers to date if they are being supervised or are with a group.
Other parents are too lenient and allow their children too much freedom and
they find themselves in predicaments that are hard to turn away from. She added
that is when young people find themselves in trouble and may bring a new baby
into the world. Mrs. Lewis said that dating might be okay if you are in high
school if your parents allow it with supervision. There should be a group that goes
to the movies or dinner together and stays together without anyone sneaking
away from the group. Either boy or girl need only learn to say one word to
prevent finding
themselves in an awkward position. That word is a firm, “No,” and you
should mean it regardless of the words of love you might hear from the other
one. As she talked she said, “Boys, please understand that “no” does not mean
“maybe” at any time. You will have plenty of time to grow up and find that
special someone. Boys also need to know that their strength should never be
used against a girl or to force a girl to feel that she has to do something
that she feels is wrong. There is plenty of time for intimacy later in life
when both people are ready for responsibility.”
We listened as she
spoke and was more comfortable to hear it from her than any one else. We were
no longer embarrassed as she presented it as a normal topic to be discussed in
class. Mrs. Lewis said that at this age young people should not be allowed to
find themselves alone and tempted by their feelings. Feelings
of intimacy may occur when two young people are left alone and find it hard not
to share their sexual feelings with one another. The feelings are natural and
normal but the action of lovemaking is too soon. Puberty brings along with it
feelings that you have not had before, and it is not to be shared or
experimented with anyone else. Understanding these feelings are natural make it
easier to understand that we are becoming young adults and that it is okay to
have those feelings without acting upon them.
Many new babies are brought into this world by accident because
the mother and father were teen-agers that thought they were in love and acted
passionately as adults. They failed to think about the consequences of their
actions afterwards whether they
make a baby or not. Robin raised her hand and said that her seventeen-year-old
sister just had a baby boy, and that his father never comes over to visit. She
said that her mother takes more care of the baby than her sister does. She
continued to say that they always fight when the baby wakes up crying because
her sister says that she can’t stand to hear him cry. She added that her sister
runs to her room screaming that the baby is ruining her life. Her mother really
did not want to begin all over again raising children. Robin said they were
discussing adoption as an alternative for the baby although they knew it would
break the whole families’ heart to see him leave. She only wished that her
sister had learned what she was learning now when she was younger.
Mrs. Lewis advised the young people in her class to listen
carefully to what Robin is saying. She said that one day you could be the one that
feels like you are trapped with no where to go and without a husband to give
you love and support. That is what love is about instead of handing the
responsibility to your mother to care for your child and the rest of the family
that is already half grown. Mrs. Lewis agreed that adoption was a good option
in their circumstances and thanked Robin for sharing her life with the class.
She warned the girls that young men like to brag about
their night out with them, and it inevitably gives the young lady a bad name
that makes her ashamed of her actions. Later they find that other boys expect
the same favors and the girl finds herself being used by many. As a young adult
in high school your body is not ready for sexual relations until it matures
much later. Mrs. Lewis encouraged the girls to keep their girlfriends, find a
part time job and forget about the boys for a while. She told them that they
would find it more fun to shop, share secrets, and go to the beach or the
movies together as friends. The boys should become involved in sports, or car maintenance and learn how to rebuild or
repair cars if that is what they were interested in. She explained that there
are many things to become involved in and part time jobs are always available
for high school students at the local stores.
She said that high school is the time to begin thinking of
what they like to do the most. They should give their hobby some thought
to
see if they could turn it into a profession so that they could support a family
one day. Decide what you like to do and turn it into
your future career, think about going away to college or taking classes at a
nearby University. The difference in acting as an adult is that you are not old
enough to financially support a family, nor ready to know the first thing about
adult responsibilities. Mrs. Lewis was quite passionate about letting the
children know what was in store for them if they did not control their sexual
urges. She had seen too many young people put their lives on hold and never
find true happiness.
She said that the responsibility to come in the future far
outweighs the pleasure they may receive for a short period of time. She
begged them to think of life and our actions as a lesson to be learned.
She told them that they could listen to her, or they could
later choose to learn the hard way regretting that they had not remembered
what she had tried to teach them. The young mother is not wise enough
maternally or ready to give up her life to take care of a new baby. The end
result is that the grandparents have to raise the baby, or the baby is handed
over to Children’s Services or adopted out. She said that it is sad to see a young
mother dragging her child through the store begging for a toy, and the mother
has to tell the little one that she doesn’t have the money for a toy or food.
It is a no win situation for both mother and child. Young adults need to think
of their future and know that there is plenty of time to get serious with
someone at a later age and that sex can become an issue when they are old
enough to feel ready for love and marriage.
She encouraged them to watch how their family interacts,
and ask your parents if they would talk to you about their financial
responsibilities. “Would you want this kind of family interaction, or would
you change it when you become old enough to marry? How old do you think you would
have to be to pay the bills and put food on the table?” she asked. “How many
girls in this classroom want to be mothers’ as a teenager? Do you want to give
up your freedom of going to the mall or seeing a movie when you want to, or
would you rather be staying at home caring for a baby that sometimes cries for
no reason hours on end?” she questioned. “When you are older,” she said, “the
feelings become stronger between each other. You begin to bond with the
knowledge that you have found the one that you want to spend the rest of your
life with.” If there is going to be a love connection it will sweep you off of your
feet with emotions that you have never experienced before, and both people will
want what is best for the other.
She explained that as you age you will feel tingles going
through your body at the sight of the other one, and can’t wait to be together.
Still, this emotion should be taken slowly because a persons’ attraction for
another may not last as long as they think it might, hormones raging through
your body cause you to feel many emotions such as love, lust, loneliness or a
need to feel wanted. The class listened as Mrs. Lewis said that it is a fact of
life that we must learn to understand our bodies, and the feelings that go
along
with them. Even adults sometimes confuse lust with love and regret it later.
Our vibrations attract one to another but that does not necessarily mean that
you are right for each other. Give yourself time to get to know one another and
be aware of each other’s weaknesses and strengths to see if that is whom you
wish to spend the rest of your life with. “Sex, she said, is not the main
priority of marriage as most young people who fall in love think that it is. It
is about a commitment that is made between the two to love one another in
sickness or in health, for better or for worse. It is also an opportunity to
have children and enjoy having a family.” She suggested that they think of their
own family interactions between their parents and their behavior.
Mrs. Lewis said those are the vibrations that you have to
be the most cautious about because they draw two people together that may
become sexually involved and find out later that it was only lust, or
experimentation with one another and not true love. She did not want to drag
the subject along and repeat herself but she wanted them to truly listen so
that none of her students would have to say that they should have listened when
they were in the sixth grade. She went on to say, “This is also caused by the change
in your hormones as you age and enter puberty and begin to think about the
opposite sex or special friend that you find an attachment to.
We all learn from
our mistakes and should take responsibility for our actions knowing that it was
our choice. She explained that you do not have to experiment to know about sex
and that it should be discussed openly with a parent or reliable adult that is
equipped with the correct answers to guide the young person in the right
direction. The best advice is to wait until marriage before you experiment with
sex and hurting others, or risk breaking your own heart. She closed the subject
and left it at that and said that we would all experience these feelings one
day. She said that she hoped that we would give those feelings and vibrations
that can fool you a lot of thought before experiencing anything that we might
not be ready for physically or emotionally.
She said that love is the ‘vibrational frequencies’ of
energy between two people when they are overwhelmed by strong feelings
of
attraction for one another. It is not possible to predict when it will happen
sometimes, nor will you usually have a warning. She went on to say that some
are attracted to one another as they age because they are attracted by their
looks, actions of kindness,
or
their personality. With age comes wisdom and the
courage to trust your emotions. Others may find that they will never want to
find a partner and devote themselves to becoming a Professional person in
their desired career. She reminded them that becoming partners in life and
making a family is not nearly as easy as children think that it is. Many times there
are hard decisions that have to be made to accommodate both people. It involves
thinking about the other person and their well being at all times, sometimes
having to give up what you would like to have, or do to please the other
person. It is as if the two of you become one with another and everything is
decided and shared between the two that are truly in love. Love is beautiful
between two people that wish to share their lives together and may result in
the decision to physically have children, or to adopt children so that they can
share their love with little ones adding to their happiness.
It is all a part of our vibrational frequencies that
attract one to another. They could have been drawn together because they have
the
same likes and dislikes and the belief in one another to complete their circle
of love. Their vibrations of love have been completed
and
will continue to grow if they work on learning to know each others likes and
dislikes and know that the loved one will always be there for them. She found
it hard to wrap up the subject because there was so much to share with them
teaching them the value of true love.
The next day she wrote a new word on the chalkboard. It
was, ‘empathy.’ This would be harder to explain than the word sympathy
yet
she felt she needed to introduce this feeling to the class. She began by
saying, “If you have a special friend or a loving family you
may
be aware of being able to feel one another’s emotions without talking about
them. This is called ‘empathy,’ or being able to feel
what the other one is thinking or feeling without discussing the issue. Empathy
is also another vibration that is felt between one another for their pain,
emotions and feelings. In some instances ‘empathy’ is just simply there to
encourage us to communicate with one another as in a group setting to feel another
persons pain or joy and to share or sympathize with
them. Even in a classroom there is a myriad of thoughts racing throughout the
atmosphere that may or not be what is being taught at the time.
She explained that all of us are entitled to our thoughts
but should learn to contain them and concentrate on what is happening
at
the time and place that they are currently in. People need each other and they
need to feel the connection between one
another in order to learn and know that their life has meaning,
and a destiny that they will hopefully fulfill. They would eventually realize
one day when they were older that they did learn something from that special
Teacher that tried so hard to reach each and every one of them out of love. At
this time in their life they were interested, but did not always want to share their
feelings with one another for fear of someone laughing at them.
As the days went on she talked to them about the feelings and
emotions that they share with a crowd at a baseball game. She then compared
those feelings of not being the same if you were sitting in a movie. The class
was beginning to understand what Mrs.
Lewis was teaching them about the many variations of
vibrations.
She talked about the vibrations of Spirit or a feeling of
reverence when you went to Church and sat down in the pew. She told them
to
think of the many vibrational frequencies that they felt for those two hours
they spent with others in the Church. Singing songs of love made them happy,
and many children loved singing the hymns or enjoyed laughing as they watched
some of the people belt out the song with all of their heart poured into the
moment.
They talked about prayer time and if they were sincerely
into prayer they would feel a presence of holiness and love surrounding them.
Other children chose to kneel or stand and whisper not allowing that serene
presence to penetrate their thoughts. Mrs. Lewis explained that we all have the
gift of choice, and how we choose to use it will be the deciding factor of who and what we become as adults. The very greatest gift of
choice is that at any moment in time we could choose to change our ways and be granted
our wish to change.
We may choose not to be a bully, or we may choose not to be
timid and to let our light of love vibrations be intermingled with others.
She said that most bullies are not as tough as they act and
that they will back down when confronted by the one that they were picking on.
She explained that sometimes bullies have had to be tough because they had to
learn to take care of themselves at a
very young age because they had been abused. They then take their anger out
on people that are smaller or timid to show off to
others’ that they are mean and that they are the boss or the one
to be looked up to in fear. In reality, they are just as afraid of being
approached by someone with a bad attitude in return, as the timid ones
were.
The way she explained to begin not to be timid, shy or
frightened of others was to acknowledge everyone you see with a smile on
your face and a, “Hello Joe,” or “Hi Rachel” to everyone. It would take some
time and work to remember others’ names but when you say “hello” to someone,
and say their name they feel as if they are important to you and will wonder
why they never took the time to get to know you before. Mrs. Lewis said that
the one thing that you own that no one can take from you is your name. It belongs
to you for life and if you think about it you will understand that it is what
makes you feel that you know whom you are.
Without a name we would have trouble communicating, and some
would have trouble knowing how to feel about their own self
worth. Your names are chosen by your mother to celebrate their love
for someone whom they deeply admire, or someone that they
had
loved that had passed on. They may have chosen it after careful consideration
of who they wanted you to be, or they just thought
that that particular name would fit you. Your name is your badge of
acknowledgement so wear it proudly, and use the pride of the other persons’
name to make them feel as if you admire them. You will soon see a difference in
how you are treated and accepted by others.
Joey raised his hand quite shyly and said, “What if I am
afraid to say “hi” to them? What if they make fun of me?” he asked. Mrs. Lewis
said that was a chance that he would have to choose to take. She said that the
boy that she sees is very bright and full of life.
She told him that she felt the only reason other children
didn’t pay attention to him was that he kept to himself. Maybe they thought
that he didn’t like them, or didn’t want friends. Again, the word ‘choice’
presented itself. She said that the kids that had never taken the time to know
him might choose to become his friend and find out that he was a lot of fun.
Life is what you
make of it day by day. She began talking about positive attitudes and believing
in your self. She took Joey by the hand and stood him in front of the mirror and
asked him what he saw. He stood there looking and said, “A boy that no one
likes.” She turned him around to the class and saying a quick prayer to herself
she asked the class what they saw in Joey. Rachel raised her hand to say that
she thought he was shy but she really liked his artwork. She said that she
liked it when he drew pictures of horses and always wanted to ask him for one.
Mrs. Lewis asked her why she hadn’t asked him for one. Rachel said that she was
afraid that he would look down and not talk to her, and then she would be
embarrassed. Joey looked surprised and said that he would give her any one of
the pictures that she wanted. Darrell stood up and said that he lived across
the Street from him and always wanted to ask him to go bike riding or fishing
but Joey always stayed in his house. Joey was so surprised that people really
did see him that he
didn’t know how to react. He smiled at Darrell and said that he would
like to ride his bike after school with him if he really meant it.
Darrell said that he always rides his bike to the park
after school to see some of his friends. He offered to take him with him and
introduce him to the other kids.
Joey sighed, and then he smiled a smile that made him glow.
Mrs. Lewis tousled his hair, and said, “You see Joey, sometimes we have to take
the first step towards what we want. Good luck tonight and I hope you meet a
lot of new friends.”
Mrs. Lewis walked around the room with her arms crossed and
asked the class if they knew what kind of vibrations that they had
just experienced.
acknowledged her by nodding for her to answer.
Mrs. Lewis asked
said, “They have to be vibrations because I have goose bumps all over me. I
feel overwhelmed by my feelings for Joey and I am sorry that he has suffered
alone for so long.” With tears in her eyes she leaned over to Joey and gave him
a big hug and said that from
now
on he would be her friend forever. Rachel stood up and asked if Joey would
stand with her and say, “Hello” to each and every
child in the class so that he could feel the vibrations from each one of them.
The class watched as Joey slowly pushed his chair back. Rachel took him by the
hand and took him to the middle of the room. She began by saying, “Hi Cindy,
this is Joey.” Joey looked at Cindy and said, “Hi Cindy.” Then they made their
round going from table to table with Rachel introducing Joey as if he were a
newcomer to the class. All of the boys stood up and shook his hand with some of
them saying that they were sorry for ignoring him. Joey was thrilled and was
still a little embarrassed, but happy nonetheless.
Mrs. Lewis thanked
Rachel and told her that that was a very brave and wonderful thing for her to
do. The bell rang and the school day was over. Everyone left with a look of
amazement on their face and thoughts of what had just transpired. Mrs. Lewis
shook her head and could not believe that all of the students had behaved so
politely to Joey. She just prayed that the children would remember that day and
that lesson for the rest of their life.
Dusty and Anthony were riding their bikes home when they
saw Joey about to go into his home. They called his name and he cautiously stopped
and turned around afraid that they were going to be mean to him again. Dusty
said, “Hey Joey, we are going to meet Darrell at the park in an hour. We are
going to be playing basketball if you want to play.” Joey was so surprised
because he thought that this day was too good to be true. He couldn’t wait to
ask his Mother if he could go. His Mother was a little hesitant but said he
could as long as he was only gone for one and a half hours. She made him wear
his watch and promise to be home on time. She wanted to be sure that he was
safe and she was not aware of what had happened in school today. She was about
to say good-bye when the phone rang. She hugged him good-bye and went to answer
the phone.
Mrs. Lewis was on the other end and said that something
profound had happened in school today and she would like to share it with her.
Joey’s mother listened with tears rolling down her cheeks feeling so happy that
Joey would finally see that he was someone
and
that he was the same as the other children. He only needed to learn to be sure
of himself and know that he was as good as the
other children. She thanked Mrs. Lewis for being such a wonderful
teacher and said that she would never forget what she had done for her son in just
a short period of time. Mrs. Lewis said that she could not take all of the
credit because the whole class had participated and made Joey feel welcome.
Joey went to the garage and dusted off the spider webs so
that he could ride his bike to the park. It had been a long time since he
had
ridden it and he hoped that he still remembered how. About that time Dane rode
by and asked Joey if he was going over to Darrell’s’ house to ride with him.
Joey said that he thought that he would wait in his front yard for him to see
if he would come.
Dane laughed and said, “Joey, you have got to learn not to
ever wait on one of us to come get you. You can ride down anytime by
yourself and we will all play together or go fishing in the creek.”
As they were talking Darrell was coming across the Street on his bike
and
asked if they were ready.
Joey’s mother had been secretly watching out the blinds
with tears of happiness streaming down her face. She remembered that
they had been studying vibrations in school this week and right now her
vibrations were of love and thankfulness for such a wonderful
teacher that knew how to reach the children.
The following day Mrs. Lewis was happy to see how the
children were changing. She wanted to share a few thoughts with them and
had
written them on the bulletin board. The first thing she had written was, “You
are who your friends are. They are a reflection of you and your personality.”
The second few words were quite simple but would require thought and
explanation. They were, Thoughts are things.” The
third sentence was, “Make everyday count as if it were your last,” and the
fourth one said, “Be positive about the outcome of everything in your life and
you will succeed with joy.” The last was one word, “S.M.I.L.E. with the meaning
of each letter written below it. It meant, Send Many Infectious Love Energies.
She asked the children to copy the bulletin board and that would be their
discussion for the day.
She also brought up one word which she wanted to stress to
the class has its very own strong vibrations that many people will notice
and
prey upon. That word was “Fear.” She explained if she were to walk down a Street
and kept her head down, or was constantly
looking over her shoulder with fear in her eyes that people would see
that she was afraid. She told the class that unfortunately there are people out
there looking for victims that give off the very vibration that she was talking
about. If someone saw her that was not a good person, and wanted her purse they
would know that they could take it from her with no trouble. They may grab it
and run, or they may tackle her to the ground and injure her. If they were driving
by and noticed that she looked afraid, they would also find it easy to force
her into the car to hurt her.
She explained that once you get into the car you might
never make it home again. She wanted them to understand that there are people
in the world that are bad and would hurt you if they could out of anger towards
people, or because they enjoyed violence.
She said, “Thankfully, we do not have as much violence in
our community as others, but you must always be on the alert. There are
people out there that will take what they can and don’t care if
they hurt or kill you in the process. Some of these people are mentally ill and
some of them are just bullies that want to get what they want for free.
She approached this subject as lightly as possible but with
the intention of opening the children’s eyes to the possibility of danger
from others. She told them that a person does not have to look mean to hurt
you; and that many may appear to be very nice
when in fact they are not. She again explained that if you feel any doubt
about someone or you feel afraid to follow your gut instincts
