I feel sorry for you for attacking people here when this is a terrific source of information. THe real God from the bible ( you know, right?) says to keep our minds pure and free from unholy things. He also says we are born unclean with a sinners heart until we give our lives over to him and he gives us a new heart full of his fruits of the spirit. I would be happy to talk more about this with you Yvonne.

It is sad that you have left your soul up to yourself. You will fail everytime. Please trust your soul to Jesus. He is God who came to Earth as a man, lived here sinless, died and was buried for our sin. And being God, rose agian and ascended to heaven so we could have faith in knowing that he will joyously return to Earth one day to claim his throne and call up to heaven all the souls who believed and committed to God our loving father.
Please do not feel sorry for me. I would love to hear from you when your children have graduated high school or college and compare their experiences to my own childrens’. It is my opinion that you almost can not shelter a child enough these days from the filth on TV ( yes commercials Yvonne) and the worldliness that my children live in but are not of.( that is from the bible too Yvonne in case you are not familiar.
You are precious to God.
Everyone sins. Jesus suffered much and died for your sins. Anyone can ask Him to forgive them and that they want Him in their lives forever. This is the way to true peace in God. I Have that, do you??

Phil. 4:13

all good things in life come from God, Creator Source, God most High!
It is the art of the human mind to be able to tap into these energies that God has provided each and every soul with. It is how one is able to control one’s mind by only allowing loving and compassionate feelings into one’s mind and therefore one’s actions are also of good nature.

To live life on the God-Level of BEING (within one’self in order to emanate outwards) it means to be healthy in the mind first. When one is healthy in the mind one is able to attract good things into one’s life and therefore is able to give back to others may this be in form of physical help, food, shelter, knowledge and wisdom and even with money! Why not Money? Money in itself isn’t anything bad. It is what one may decide to do with the money that could make things bad, just like with everything else. Money is an energy culminated by a belief system long ago, when it became common to store gold and silver by being given a signed piece of paper over the certain amount from the person that hosted the ’store house’ of these goods. Back then it was hard to travel with so much metal in one’s pockets. It then became common to trade these papers amongst each other when it so happened that 80% of the gold and silver owners never came to pick up their goods from the ’store house’ and rather traded with the paper that said: I OWE YOU!
The paper itself doesn’t carry any value, Ana it is the belief that makes it valuable.

So, Energy in all Forms is made by God so therefore Energy including money-energy is not a bad thing as it is neutral, until a person (the ego) decides which thought-emotion will be attached to this energy and therefore which action will result out of this. It is the Law of Cause and Effect!

God loves all the Children (and adults) the same, so God gave everybody equal opportunities to create one’s life via FREE WILL OF CHOICE.
It is the wisest human being that is blessed and bestowed by God’s Glory by being able to still understand and to live by GOD-LAW despite of all the metaphors and re-written so called ‘holy books’ and not having gotten distracted by the human ego-mind that has been fighting for eons to dominate one’s own peers, and therefore has broken God’s Laws already.

Once you know all this, none of the so called Tools that are offered to live life abundantly, in health, wealth, love, mental strength and spirituality are intentionally bad, it is what each person decides to think and to feel about them. Every negative thought means to shun what God has brought forth into one’s life, as Everything and All There Is, is of God, because God is Reality, not what we think SHOULD BE! To argue with Reality is insane and to tell God that God made a mistake. God doesn’t make mistakes, only humans do

So, if again one feels that the Pop-Culture is something bad, then don’t make it part of your life, or if you make it a part of your life make sure you utilize this opportunity to do Good with it! Teach your kids to dance and have fun with it! Dancing is healthy! Create your own songs that speak of positive messages of love and compassion, and simply help to bring about positive change within the pop-culture itself by bringing in your own ideas for example.

Just a thought.

Love,
Yvonne.

this is a comment to Misty’s post.

I am pretty upset how she can depict a woman’s breast as ‘dirty’.
The woman’s breast in itself isn’t the dirty thing, it is what some people associate with it.
Also, God didn’t have us ‘enter this world’ with clothes on, so if people like Misty screw up their kids head up that nudity is dirty, than what do you think children will think of themselves growing up? …. will they think that people in general are bad, dirty, despicable?

I do strongly believe in God, God-Source, Creator God for sure, what I am truly feeling sad about is when every time I hear people falling trap to religious dogma, which is man made to control man, so people are feeling bad about themselves and their insecurity can be exploited by others.

I am from Europe and I can tell you that there is a difference between nudity and “nudity”. Nudity is a natural part of a person’s Being and I feel it is better to educate our children about the differences in gender than making a big secret about it by giving them the vibe that there is something ‘really bad that needs to be hidden’.
How ridicolous is that?
God gave humans a body for a reason! How can she say that God’ Creation is dirty?

The body in itself is loving and beautiful, it is the Adult-Industry that perverts everything and man’s mind that creates the adversities, so I feel it is this lady’s own thought approach right here that is questionable, in my opinion.
I am sure all her little boy saw was possibly some shower-gel commercial and she made a big deal out of it.

I agree, we are to be very careful with what type of thought-vibes we imprint on our kids, most of all the thought-vibrations that stem from our own minds and then ‘make them believe’ what we believe is truth, and all other people that don’t share the same thought are wrong, so this way a child growing up is already stripped of the free will of choice to make their own experiences and to think for themselves.

Don’t people like Misty know that each human being has their own soul to take care of, to co-create together with God by following guidance through ones’ intuitive mind within, and that all people are protected by God through God’s Divine Love, if parents would just stop to over-exaggerate and let their children be, by refraining from becoming so called helicopter parents.
Nudity in itself doesn’t do any harm, it’s those so called overly religious people’s mind saying that the body is dirty, that cause just as much damage in a child than the Adult-Industry.

How can you say that God’s creations are dirty?
Ask yourself this, Misty?
Are you dirty? … because you walk on this planet within a body?
I am sorry, but this is truly too much ….. I feel sorry for you.
You are a beautiful Spiritual Being having a Physical Experience here on Earth. That having been said may give you some reason to think about What and Who God really is!

Please enlighten yourself with a little more educational things when it comes to the difference between Man-Made Dogma and the Truth of God that God wanted for people to understand, live and perceive according to his/her Divine Will, and not what you THINK God wanted for humanity.

Enough said,
wishing Love, Peace and Light into your Heart my Dear,
Yvonne.

PS: A wonderful Read is THE MASTER KEY SYSTEM, by Charles F. Haanel. You can google it first and get some information before you buy it.

TALK not always so good!!!! I wish my parents had censored my life more and talked less!!
I read several of the blogs and saw some great tips. I thought I would add something I didnt see in my reading.
Limited exposure according to their age is a parents right and duty.
True you can talk about things you watch on tv together but the images they see are burned into their brains forever.
Example: When my son was 9 he saw breasts on TV when he was changing the channel to cartoons. I was home but not there at that moment. Several nights later he was crying at bedtime because he couldnt get that image out of his mind and he thougt he was not a saved Christian anymore. No one ever told him that was dirty or wrong and true we did TALK about it because I am definately a communicator. After that i was very careful of things that rely heavy on boy /girl relationships in movies and tv.
I believe in proving a shelter for my children, not sheltering them.
when their friends were seeing PG movies at 5 & 6 mine were not, playing nintendo or playstation rated T or worse games at age 8 mine were and still arent. It makes a difference!!!
My son will tell you every dirty word he knows some kid told him at school. I expected that, but I love the fact that he wasnt the one doing the telling. He also respects the fact that it is not allowed at home or anywhere else. When I hear other kids “slip up” and use near curse words, I rest assured that my children speak more positively because their ears were kept pure until it was out of my control.

During supper time, we always had the TV off and talked about whatever was brought up. It could be about somebody’s day, it could be a funny story, it could be sports or the arts. It was always noted that no one could be ridiculed for their comments or topic of discussion.

One of the many things we did for our children was to not allow any pop (soda) drinking until after 4 p.m. each and every day. They could drink water,juice,or milk and they were encouraged to do so. Now that all three are in their 20s, they still maintain the “no pop rule”. As parents, we also followed this rule.

As the children grew older, we always told them to express their farewells or greetings in public and to not feel embarrassed about it…such as a hug and a kiss before leaving. Many of their teen friends were envious of them when they seen this display of family affection.

Another thing we did was to go snowshoeing in the bush and find a place to roast weiners. It served a multitude of purposes;family bonding,excercise,
outdoor cooking skills (for eventual camping).

With young children, family bonding is so important, it has to start from birth and continues. A parent can not wait until the child is almost a teen to start getting involved…well you can try but I’m almost postive that the “pop culture” will be the “parent” and maybe too late to intervene.
When I worked with Young Offenders in the Vancouver,B.C. area, I asked this question almost a thousand times; “If you could live your young life over what three things would you want different?” I then told them to think about it before answering.

The most common answers were…
1. To have more time with the parent or parents.
2. To be disciplined with love and not anger.
3. To be told,”I love you.”

The many many Young Offenders I worked with in that Institution wished for family values that they weren’t taught.

BTW, I enjoy your articles immensely, keep it up.

It is empowering to see my little girl already spelling and writing short words at 4 and half years old. She is happy doing this and she feels like a super-star. I am making sure that she will capture this moment in her life, so when later on she starts to get judged by others she is able to go back to this moment when she felt great about herself, as this way she can use her own emotional memory as resource by understanding how good she felt when she was just doing what she liked to do best at a certain point and time in her life, as it matters not what others think and feel about her talents, her beauty or intelligence but that the only way happiness can be achieved by one feels about one-self.

She is learning that even on TV there are characters that she likes and doesn’t like, which in return another child may have a different opinion, yet that she is to stay true to herself and accept what feels right and good to herself.

When we teach our children from early on that their opinion counts and that they are respected for who they are even when their likes and dislikes are different from their own parents I feel it is possible to educate our son’s and daughter’s to the fact that TV is simply another ‘visual option’ of choices offered when it comes to looks, wealth and power, as if so someone goes window shopping, or browses through a catalog.

In order to teach children a realistic view about all the pop-culture of TV it is essential to let them understand that the people on the Screen are the people that are actively working in order to earn their ‘daily bread’ in life and are less interested in consuming what is presented by sitting on the couch and eating potato chips.
So, if the TV-Craze gets over your heads, dear parents, I’d suggest you take your children to a restaurant and while being served this delicious food I’d ask my children if they rather work in the kitchen cooking and serving the food, or sitting on the table eating the food, which could be a great analogy of how TV works.

Also, if any of you have access to a Photo Shop program on your home computer (the older version can be downloaded for free meanwhile) scan in a picture of yourself and your child and start remove red eyes, wrinkles, blemishes and pimples etc on your face, smoothen your skin with a big brush selecting your skin tone and set the color to about 11% opacity and brush over your skin to remove the pores, then add some glow and blush on your cheeks and then explain to your children, especially young teenagers that this IS how it is done in order to make someone else ‘look so much better’ than a joe-avarage person in magazines, in order for them to sell their skin products, yet the model that is shown in the magazine is simply another joe-avarage person that chose to make her money by posing for pictures to sell a cosmetic product for example.

It is to get educated and to understand how it is done on TV, in the pop-culture in order to expose the magic tricks that are used to make the rest of the world feel bad, yet only if one chooses to feel bad …. Buy your child a magic trick box, so he/she can learn that what appears a real for an audience is simply hard work, precision and knowledge that is hidden from the rest of us, so we can feel good about something that is meant to be an illusion, or FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY!

Let your inspiration and ideas flow, dear parents when your child comes to you and is so very unhappy that ‘next door neighbors’ grass looks so much greener’.
And most of all, since there are celebrities are finding themselves in traumatic life situations like for example Britney Spears, it proves that being seen on TV doesn’t prevent a person from personal problems, nor does it provide a path to true happiness. Once they understand that all these people ‘as seen on TV’ are simply ordinary people that chose this to be their job, your child may find it also interesting to become a lawyer, doctor, banker, sales clerk, stewardess, butcher, baker, IT-personal, or graphic designer in order to make their money, and hopefully not being hunted down by Paparazzi The beauty of this life is that the possibilities are limited-less and therefore each and every child and person will ultimately find their match to be happy as long as one understands what their true desires and passions are in order to contribute and to give back to this world. This means to do what one loves to do and as ultimately these are the things that one does best. So support your children early on to cultivate their personal talents whether it is something you as parents thought about your child should do, or not. Your children already have ways to show you who they really are, and what they are good at, because they want to do it over and over again. The best thing parents can do for their children is to recognize their talents while providing loving guidance for them to succeed in life with what makes them happy and not what You thought they should do with their life. God gave you a life for you to take care of, as God gave your child his/her life to live and to make choices via free will. God gave all of us the same Gift and it is our duty to respect this God-Given-Gift by respecting each other rather and to stay in our own business. True? Once your children feel the freedom to do whatever they desire to do with their live Pop-Culture TV won’t stand a chance, because they look to themselves for advice and to people that truly and unconditionally love them to accept to hear an opinion and to to gain knowledge. As long as they know they are ‘Your Super Star’ they won’t have to get their fix for love, fame and happiness on TV.

Just an opinion, too.

Love and Light to Everyone,
Yvonne Love.

Best to all and God Bless.

Reminding kids that it’s not all about what you can and can’t acquire and HAVE is pretty important. The great and most remembered people in the world were not hung up on culture, money and class. They simply had a burning desire and they followed their heart.
