For some parents, the birth of a child is not always an act of joy and happiness, because over time they begin to realize that everything is not as it should be with their child, he is too calm, inactive and not interested in his surroundings. And it often happens that doctors confirm their suspicions that this is autism.
This is a difficult shock for every parent and a great responsibility throughout life, because a child with autism is not independent and in most of life's needs is completely dependent on the parents. Often one of them, usually his wife, is forced to leave her job and career to devote herself to raising and caring for him. Sometimes it happens that one of the parents cannot come to terms with the illness of their child, which can disrupt their relationship and jeopardize the marriage. And of all this, the autistic child hardly notices anything, he already spends time in his own world, personal and separate from all other worlds, including mom's and dad's.
What is the reality of an autistic child? What is going on in the vastness of his consciousness and how close is the content that fills it to the events in the environment? Does he perceive us to about the same extent that we perceive him? If not, is it possible to increase the percentage of perception of the reality around him? Can an autistic child become much more independent than he currently is?
These are just some of the questions that go through the minds of his parents, and the answers to them are unknown to most of us who have no contact with their lives. So, this time we will try to help and make life easier for people with autism in a way that is accessible to us, and only after some time we will know if we succeed.
Causes of Autism
The causes of autism are still unknown to modern medicine, so it would be good to understand the causes of this disease, so that parents are not burdened with doubts about curses, witchcraft and the like. This does not mean that they do not exist, but the fact that the appearance of autism is caused by something else is the decision of the Developmental Consciousness of the Soul itself, which is incarnating. It itself chose to spend this incarnation in a body mainly isolated from the impressions of the outside world. It itself decided to undergo deprivation of consciousness, preparing for the next stage of spiritual development. It itself decided to take this step, because it needs it.
For parents, autism is a serious illness, for the Developmental Consciousness of the Soul that lives in it, a break with the sensory-material world in which it resides. To be in the physical world, so obsessively present, and at the same time to be outside of it, is possible only through autism. Therefore, this knowledge can be a relief for the parents of an autistic child, if the themes of spirituality are understandable to them.
Being a parent of a child with autism is a responsible and sacrificial duty that many parents are not prepared for. That is why the Developmental Consciousness of the Soul that wants to live life in this way chooses parents for whom it is sure that with their sacrifice and love, it will be able to protect it and provide good living conditions.
Love is the glue that binds their destinies together, because without it these families would fall apart overnight. That is why the arrival of an autistic child does not weaken, but rather strengthens the bonds between them, and they, like ancient heroes, boldly move on, not running away from the difficulties that follow them.
It is a difficult, but at the same time glorious path, internal, humble and dignified, as it should be.
The Spiritual Purpose of Autism
We have already said that the Developmental Consciousness of the Soul itself chooses to live life in this way, so it remains for us to clarify the reasons for its decision. What spiritual reasons can lead someone to choose a lifestyle of almost complete withdrawal from the world? What is the purpose of this?
We are all consciousnesses that float through life, stopping here today, there tomorrow, and from life to life through many of them we create many connections that connect us to many things and people that disturb us in a spiritual sense. To stop this, in the moments of planning the next incarnation, we make a decision to live a life that will be almost completely excluded from making new connections. For something like this, a body is created that corresponds to our intention, after which we are born as a baby with a diagnosis of autism.
From the outside, there are no significant moments in such a life, but inside, everything is different. By renouncing most of the stimuli of the outer world, both sensory and social, the Developmental Consciousness of the Soul has time to devote itself to reviewing, unraveling and renouncing the connections it has made in past lives, which will help it to make significant progress in the process of spiritual remembering. In order for the Ego not to bother you during the renouncing of relationships, it is necessary that it be kept to a minimum.
Only after this the Soul and, if necessary, the Spiritual Energies of the Universe will begin to select, untangle and break dead connections. Those connections that do not have karmic weight are rejected, which frees the Developmental Consciousness of the Soul from many burdensome energies.
The nature of the Ego is such that it always lives for the first and only time, so if it could, it would be attached to everything that attracts its attention. However, most of these connections are useless and, let's say, burdensome, so their renunciation is necessary.
Intellectual and Emotional Development of Autistic People
One of the characteristics of autism is the lack of full intellectual and emotional development, with the result that an autistic person progresses in this sense up to a certain point, after which he or she usually stops. Although mood swings and outbursts of anger are not uncommon, autistic people generally live happy and fulfilling lives, no matter how impossible it may seem. The impediment to insight into the events of their world prevents us from appreciating its content and diversity, but it is clear that the joy they most often express is genuine.
So if they can teach us anything, it's the lesson that we don't need anything from the world around us to be happy.
Autism Is Not a Punishment
We know that sometimes the environment, and sometimes one of the parents, rarely both, experience the birth of an autistic child as a punishment due to some unknown sin, perhaps inherited from ancestors.
We repeat once again that there is no truth in this, when we speak of autism. The Developmental Consciousness of the Soul creates such life circumstances for reasons we have already explained, although we understand that to those who are not spiritually versed they may seem frivolous. This is certainly not the case, but they are of great importance for its further spiritual growth.
We do not need to judge our existence solely on the basis of the current life, whatever it may be, because it is just one of the phases of remembrance, each of which has its own deeper meaning.
Relationship Harmonization Process
As we hinted at the beginning, it remains to describe a process that will allow people with autism to improve their quality of life to some extent. This assistance will not be aimed at equalizing their level of functioning with the level of functioning of non-autistic people, because this will negate the purpose of their incarnation, but will move in the direction of better harmonization with the environment.
The entire process of reconciliation of relations will be carried out by the Soul and the Spiritual Energies of the Universe, and the participation of the autistic person occurs as follows:
One of the parents should explain to him/her that the next activity will help to feel better and ask him to participate in it.
Once you have his consent (if he refuses, try again in a week or two), ask him to lie on her back, preferably on the floor with a blanket on it, and place a fuller pillow under his head so that it is slightly higher than the horizontal plane.
Then have him place both palms on the Spiritual Heart in the thymus area, right over left (opposite for left-handers) and remain in this position for as long as he feels comfortable. Legs slightly apart and relaxed, eyes mostly closed, but it doesn't matter if he opens them occasionally to make sure you're still there. You definitely remain in the room, sitting in a position where he can easily spot you when he opens his eyes.
The autistic person will remain in this position for a few minutes, depending on the individual, and when he/she removes his hands from the Spiritual Heart and begins to move and stretch, go to him, gently shake his arms and legs, and help him sit down on the couch. After a minute or two, he will return to the state he was in before the relationship negotiation process, and then you both can return to your normal activities.
What is the benefit of this procedure?
It may seem immodest, but it is huge.
Everything that happens to an autistic person has very different consequences than it does to most other people. Because his world is cut off from ours, there are few points of contact through which information can be shared and better understanding can be achieved. Therefore, the Relationship Harmonization Process bridges this gap and harmonizes the autistic person energetically with the people he lives with.
The process does not have a strict schedule, but should be used from time to time as a form of alignment of communication channels with the environment, and in most cases its implementation will be initiated by the autistic person themselves.
