Parrot learning

I recently read a quote from a highly respected inspirational leader who stated that those who have always been at the top of the class are really just "parrot" learners and not people who can think outside the box or to allow themselves to be free.

Now generally what this person says I can agree with and it usually has a ring of truth for me.

However, this particular statement did not ring true for me.

I have no intention of boasting but at school I was one of the top students in class tests and day to day learning in fact i had a reputation for being a "know it all" -which I grew to hate over time, but that's another story.

I decided to ponder his statement. Why did I consider his comments to be out of sync with me? Was my ego looking to fight his truth? I asked all sorts of questions and waited for an answer.

Today as I sat doing my daily self reflection a thought came to me.

In my experience of learning, I seem to just simply "know" the answers to the questions. I was never really a swot. True I was a bookworm, my head buried in books at the slightest chance I got but the books I loved reading did not generally have much science, mathematics, literacy, or geographical text in -I LOVED Enid Blyton stories and anything fantastical that talked of winged horses and creatures, or hidden glens and beautiful lakes. Fantasies that I took into my heart and made real.

How then did I become "knowledgeable" in my classroom I ask. How then did I learn the things I did about maths and science and history, etc?

And the answer came to me "in the same way as you are living life at this time". What? What does that mean? "Well just notice yourself". I sat and tried my best to "notice" and would you believe it? ... nope nothing of note appeared.

Much later today as I sat watching an old student of mine on a video talk fluently about Archangels and their individual history with "our world", I told myself, "I have gaps in my knowledge of angel history so to speak, i need to read more books on Angels" and the thought came to me: "do you not see that you have not learnt everything in parrot fashion as you refuse to inbibe what others say as being the absolute TRUTH."

Hmm... say what?

"You my child have incarnated to "experience" ever aspect of human existence within the boundaries of your human life. What you have chosen as your soul's pupose is to "learn firsthand through experience" not simply through books, that is what your life and learning is about."

Did i ask enough questions? Did I ask the right questions?

YES I believe I did in this instance for me.

When I work with the Angels or connect with them... I wait for the "presence" to tell me who they are and how I can serve them and the person I am working on. Through a form of communication comes information pertinent to the individual or situation I am working on, I do "feelings, seeing and sensing" as a way of "knowing". I find "studying" data a real bore and totally impossible to extrapolate into relevance.

Questions were asked before, answers received today as the divine "knows" not earthly timescales only it's own and the divine waits to help as and when I become ready to receive i.e. I open up to "know".

I now have a better understanding that we each have wonderful soul purposes to live on this planet and each one of us has "divined" a right path for ourselves to reach that.

Whether that be through reading books to inbibe all the information within because that's what your purpose requires or whether books and learning are not your thing and experience is, like me or even if studying within a national curriculum is stifling for you because freedom and self expression are your path to live your soul purpose.

We are all blessed with an internal GPS system that, as long as we stay within clear transmission and receival range of our divine satellite system, will guide us to complete our soul purpose with assistance and in divine timing.

Children's GPS's are generally well tuned in until adults create interference in their range which effectively creates clouds to block their signals. So for me the fantasy books I read and believed in were real as real life!

As a child as I was tapped into universal laws of creation and lived that fantasy in full - on another plane perhaps. There were numerous times I woke up feeling I had been riding a white winged pony.... Pegasus has been a family guide for years and I never realised how close I was to him until I wrote this! For years I used to beg my father to build a pony meadow in our garden for my snow white pony and I never realised why until today.

Remember, keep your GPS's clear and tuned to receive all that you need.
