This channel was done several years ago for one of our YBL graduates who has an autistic son. It is amazing to see this boy now and witness how wonderful their family unit is as a result of truly embracing this gift in their lives.

Virgil:

There are indeed many enlightened souls at this time participating in the separation that is autism. It can be a particularly difficult paradigm to work with on the basis that present society does not value the special insights these children are able to birth. The condition is brought about by the specific and undeniable separation of the Soul and the ego and thus neither can understand either realm in the others' terms, if this makes sense to you. This can appear as a seeming aloneness or isolation due to the absence of a functioning defined ego acting as a bridge between the two realms of Soul and ego.

Ego is the physical specialist, intimately attuned to the physical realm, but also capable of looking inward to Source. One could say that the ego is not an open system in these individuals, therefore they have a limited grasp of the present physical reality. It is for this reason that many of the ‘logics’ of ego control can be overcome with ease because only the most basic ‘rules’ of this reality can be assimilated in any meaningful way. What you cannot know, cannot restrict you. On the other hand, it also means social mores and customs are foreign because these things cannot be translated to the feeling (Soul) body and made part of the overall picture of this reality. It shows us just how important a highly attuned ego is to manipulating in this reality, however it does not in any way restrict the richness of the experience for the Soul self, as the communication process between the two bodies must remain ensconced in feeling, which is the Soul’s natural state.

So to this end, this is what one must try to understand in the Soul that is your child, for it is in this way that you will touch him on a deeper level. Not through displays of physical affection and talk of love etc as would be a ‘normal’ ego’s approach, but in understanding the true meaning of his language of frustration, apathy or whatever. For these are terms your ego would use to describe behaviours, but they are actually something very different because they are coming from his different base of awareness. Avoid meeting your son ego to ego, for you will not reach the depths of his perfect expression from that vantage. Reach in to your own feeling (soul) state and meet him there.

So in short, it is to become the bridge between his most rudimentary attuned ego that he is currently birthing and the communication of the Soul that understands perfectly, the essence of this life and experience. In other words...to learn his language and uncover the true depth of self that dwells there. To have a foot in two camps inasmuch as we understand the need for intervention to develop the ego to its utmost potential for practical day to day reasons, but to not assume this is the sum of his potential, gifts and uniqueness. It is not about trying to teach him your world, but instead learning about his world. Each of these children have a special gift for all that would come in to contact with them. I am not assuming a cause and effect relationship here i.e. families of the child have something to learn, thus needed the birthing of this condition. What I am saying is that the purpose of soul existence is multi layered and any experience has the potential to fulfil a myriad of growth and learning.

He is actually a highly evolved Soul and is attuned to more than one reality simultaneously. As a result he is often compelled to distraction, as without a highly attuned ego to ‘take care of business’ here, it is obvious when the soul is wandering, so to speak. Link in to him via the heart feeling centre; place your hands on his energy and ask the feeling self to direct your actions with this child. If you can glimpse his reality in this way, you may ease some of the burden in trying to make him ego adept at all costs. Allow his own processes to take form on his ego reality. Seek experts and their guidance certainly, but not at the expense of knowing your son via his own reality and paradigm.

He is, of course, perfect and this perfection can be shown to you if you seek it. If you would know his world and validate it for him as he grows, then he will see himself as special in many ways and only having development needs in other areas. This is not much different to the way many’ normal’ people see themselves at any rate. He must be given the opportunity to validate his experience and not always be measured according to his ability to engage ego consciousness. Let him show us feeling body reality and let us learn of the gifts within, despite our ego observations that would tell us otherwise. There can be no rules in relation to his upbringing. Having no concept at this stage of other’s egos, their judgements or abilities, he is happy with his life. His rudimentary physical needs are met and this is very important because his ego self is aligned with body consciousness. He knows the joy of loving parents, yet he is more attuned with you at a feeling level so he knows your fears although he does not understand them. Try not to introduce these notions in to his otherwise loving realm. To do this honestly, one must  first come to terms with the situation not from ego which is predictable and completely understandable, but from feeling. A check on these feelings within yourself and of course you will find only love for this little soul and all the ego fears stem from this depth of love. Therefore allow the ego to express its fear, safe in the knowledge that all such fears stem from a deep unassailable love for your son. When you allow this love freedom in abandonment, rather than through fear of an uncertain future, you can begin to link in with him at a feeling level and understand his reality.  It is indeed a glorious one, where such feelings cannot be distorted through the ego. Do not fear for his future either. He has and will continue to have a network of relations and friends that will come to understand his uniqueness and bless the day that he entered their lives, seemingly imperfect, but really absolutely complete and perfect. Try to worry less and enjoy more. Only a seemingly difficult statement if you approach it from ego logic.

Be blessed and I will be available to guide you at any time you require my help.
