The starving child is still under the care of the adult. As long as the adult cannot accept responsability then the child will continue to starve.

Most adults in that area are accepting responsability by going to where food is being supplied and opening up to the care being offered and what is available.

We cannot compare that childs experience with our own. We are raised in a different environment and have a different social concensus. To them owing a television is unimaginable however if they can have a thought of seeing one they will manifest the ability to do so.

One of the fundamental things we need to do is take/accept/own the responsability for the fact that we are where we are. Only when we can accept responsability for every aspect of our lives do we assume/ give ourselves the ability to make constructive changes. Without accepting a responsability we remain victums of circumstance by default.

You could say responsability (respond - ability) is the rudder that helps us stear our ship (life) and unless we find it and take the helm we are going to feel like victums.

The child requires the adult to take responsability until it is old enough to do so for itself. The fact of the matter is while they are starving in our eyes they are surviving to the extent that they allow themselves to be taught responsability. Their faiths and upbringing probably prevents and/or makes it difficult to see rapid progress.

The Abundance for Life course... is the same principle

Give a man a fish (what is happening in the areas where there are starving children) you fend of their hunger for day.

Show the man how to fish (also happening in those areas) you give them a way to fend off hunger everyday.

Their learning curve was the same as ours. Rushing it for them we cannot do just as applying the Abundance for Life course will see everyone progress to their level of comfort at their own rate.

While not everyone will see spirit as existance after and before life... all is energy and science has shown that energy can change forms but it cannot cease to exist.

Feel the energy in the feeling... it can change form... but it cannot cease to exist.
