Good Greetings All:
Some ways that I find of assistance in engaging "covered" youth and children in uncovering their true nature of oneness (which I am still uncovering LOL) is to be open and receptive to the small teaching moments in which to illustrate the concepts of oneness and the soul.
Nature is a great way to illustrate this. Our Tree sisters and brothers also show oneness--- each part of the tree work to create unity of the one-- the tree--- the one--- the forest--- the one the Earth etc.
Another example is to look up at a hanging ceiling with all its tiles--- are not each tile an individual tile but part of the whole-- the one of the ceiling... Is the ceiling not part of the the one the whole of the room... It is the same with people and this reality that we currently live in... all is One. At a later time introduce the mindboggling concept of multiverse and infinite number of realities etc. and how LOL this is parts of the Whole, the ONE.
Cooking a meal also demonstrates unity. Each ingredient represents a part of the whole, the one.
As far as teaching chapter and verse of the LOO, that is like going to church...which to many young people and old ones at that would be termed as boring.
So when I teach oneness I begin with demonstrating it by my own actions and deed and through the small and wonderful teaching moments that happens hundreds of times in a day... As each moment presents itself terminology and ideology of LOO can be introduced in very small doses. it can just be 20 seconds... it does not have to be a huge time... in 20 seconds an AHA! moment of understanding and uncovering the innate truth is possible.
Further, the prayer "I hail you in the name of the Infinite and One True Creator! I bathe you in Love and Light!" is very helpful to children who travel away and find themselves awakening from a nightmare or the nightmare is standing present in their room (unwanted energies). Teaching them to say this prayer with conviction over time leads them to understand that they are creators of their reality and this is a concept of Oneness. It also sends the unwanted energies packing and lets the grownups in the household get some sleep! LOL
