Great discussion guys! I don't have any input on how to teach the Law of One to children, but I've been teaching it to my husband for a couple of years now with great success. He has not read the books (he fears that if he does, it won't make enough sense to him and he will want to contradict me more) but he is patient and listens when I present to him metaphysical concepts, and I see the wheels turning in his head in a way that everything makes sense on a deep level, like it does when one reads the book. So, I think maybe someday he will read the books, and I look forward to that, but I've never pressured him once. But I still, almost every day, present to him my philosophy and he's pretty down. I'm pretty sure I have helped him step from the sinkhole of indifference to the path of the dedicated open heart. He even told me once, "Before you, I didn't know it could feel so good to be nice to people." !!
I think what it is, is that he sees how powerfully moving the books have been for me. Before them, I was literally killing myself in the martyr vibrations in dedication to serving others. Once I read the LOO I realized many of my follies, and I have gained a lot of strength developing my yellow, blue, and indigo chakras. He's seen that transformation so he boarded the train, though he didn't read the itinerary, he's still along for the ride.
I have no doubt that those of us who have an affinity for 'teaching' paired up with those who desire to learn more from a teacher than a book. Absorbing information through text is not in everyone's skillset. But, we all are able to learn from the being of others. So, those of us here who are in love with the words of Ra got the jobs of the thorough book study, and then we have to try our best to make ourselves visible to those who have lined up to get the information from us, second hand.
One tiny piece of advice that I think is good to advocate in relation to teaching someone complex philosophical concepts like the Law of One: Let the "student" come to realizations "on their own". What I mean is, even if you have thoroughly explained a concept in depth, and the person you explained it to has a moment much later where they come the that realization, seemingly to themselves, on their own, there's no reason to glom on to that moment, with a "yeah, that's what I've been saying!" or anything of the like. Encourage the learning from within, and from the self, and the trusting of one's own knowing. Teaching is about planting the seed and opening a door to a different line of thinking. The student still has to choose to walk through each door themselves. Cultivating the confidence to walk through that door on their own is a big part of that teaching process.
I'm have no doubt that both of you are excellent teachers to your little ones/SOs. It has been really fun and awesome for me to watch my husband blossom and, even without reading the Law of One, dedicate himself to the same end-goal that I have. I think raising kids with this philosophy would be a fun challenge. I just also want to make sure people know that it is totally possible to teach someone the Law of One and inspire them enough to desire to polarize without them even comprehending what the term polarity means in context.
