Hakann: Was your childhood actually fine?

Channel: A.S.
My dearest brothers and sisters,

This is Hakann speaking. I greet you in peace and love.
From our point of view, it is somewhat horrifying how the average Earth parent treats their children. Now, certainly there are good Earth parents out there. However, in many cases Earth children are treated as if they’re either little prisoners, or like they’re not fully human.
For example, forcing a child to sit still for a large parts of the day, for example during school, is something that we think borders on child abuse. Now yes, some children don’t really suffer from this, but other kids really aren’t wired that way. People wouldn’t even think it was acceptable to force all adults to sit still at a desk for hours at a time, so why subject your children to that?
Furthermore, some parents let their kids spend too much time behind screens.
Then you have situations where a child grows up with just one parent, which naturally leads a kid to wonder: was I not good enough for that one parent to stick around for? Was I not good enough for my parents to stay together for?
Growing up with one parent is normal in the sense that it happens on Earth all the time, but it’s not normal in the sense that it’s fine. It can be traumatic for a child to grow up with just one parent, and statistics reflect that children of single parents have way worse outcomes. Lots of people don’t realize how damaging this can be to a child.
School also trains children out of following their natural interests, because schools tell children: it doesn’t matter what you want to study, you will study this instead. In this way, schools numb children to their own natural curiosity and interests.
Then a lot of children are trained to stop listening to their bodies, because they’re told: you will eat this no matter whether you want to or not. You will sleep during these times, whether you want to or not.
Now of course, I am not saying that children should be allowed to eat candy and watch television all day. That’s the other extreme. A happy and healthy middle should be found between those two extremes.
Also, some children are more or less indoctrinated into the views of their parents, not really being presented with alternative worldviews or religions. Or the parent might have an attitude of: you’re technically free to choose what you want, it’s just that if you don’t believe in my religion then you’re going to hell. Or if you don’t adopt my political worldview then you’re part of the problem and harmful to society overall. And while that’s again “normal”, this is actually pretty heartbreaking if you think about it. You could almost call it emotional blackmail.
No wonder that Earth teenagers sometimes rebel so strongly against their parents.
Emotional neglect is shockingly common on Earth, from my perspective. It’s just that it’s hard to notice something that wasn’t there — in this case, sufficient love and attention — and therefore many people are unaware they were emotionally neglected.
Straight up physical abuse is thankfully somewhat rare, but a child not receiving enough love and attention is very common, and that by itself can be very damaging. Or a child only receives love if they achieve something, or they only receive attention if they get into trouble.
It’s not actually okay to give a child a lot of love and praise if they achieve something, and to be cold and critical towards them if they fail. That is almost like a parent treating their child as a dog that needs training. On one hand it makes a cold kind of rational sense. However on the other hand it can make people anxious to even try new things at all, because their parents and later their internalized parents may be harsh towards them if they fail. So, to avoid the pain, it’s safer to just not try.
And of course, there’s children bullying each other, or excluding each other, and adults not addressing this properly.
So, why am I saying all of this?
I am saying all of this because some of you are being held back by the belief that your childhood was fine, or that it was mostly fine, when it really wasn’t.
Of course, some people genuinely had fine childhoods.
And some people are already painfully aware that their childhood was damaging to them. And to those people, I am so very sorry. You are all beautiful and amazing, and you deserved so much better. No child deserves to suffer, and as a father, it breaks my heart and touches my soul to think about just how much suffering some children go through.
Childhood really isn’t supposed to be a prison, but for some children, it was.
You have my invitation to examine and wonder if your childhood was actually fine.
Just because you weren’t straight-up abused, just because your childhood was “normal”, doesn’t mean that your childhood was actually fine.
Did you receive the love that a child needs? Did you have a reasonable amount of freedom? Did your parents stay together and treat each other with love and respect? Were your parents present, not just physically but also in the sense that they saw the real you?
How did you feel during your childhood? Do you remember? And how were your teenage years?
Would you be fine with your own children living your childhood? If not, why not?
The unfortunate truth is that children don’t yet have the psychological tools and maturity and perspective that adults have, and so even relatively small amounts of pain or neglect can have deep, potentially life-long consequences. And that is really unfortunate, and this also makes it important for people to examine their childhood. Because awareness is the first step in healing.
Of course, people usually don’t want to conclude that their childhood was damaging to them. Not only can that be a very painful realization by itself, but it also often puts a person in conflict with their parents, who often think that their child had a normal and therefore fine childhood. And of course, people usually love their parents and don’t want to get into conflict with them or hurt them.
However, just because Earth children are hurt and controlled and slightly emotionally neglected all the time — just because those things are “normal” in the sense that they happen often — doesn’t mean that these things are fine. Those things can in fact be deeply painful and damaging.
Just because something happens all the time, doesn’t mean that it’s okay or harmless.
Just because something is normal, doesn’t mean it’s fine.
The good news here is that even just awareness, and feeling your emotions, can be healing in and of itself.
So: how was your childhood, really?
If you want, you are invited to share in the comment section.
With all my love and all the compassion in the world,
Your star brother,
Hakann

    This may be a difficult topic to talk about.
    I have tried this topic with many people, but it has been a failure.
    I have found that religion, psychology, counseling, and other fields are not actually functioning on Earth.
    It is also difficult not only with so-called experts, but also in other situations.
    We are on planet Earth, and the human race is very sick and weak, both socially and in other aspects.
    So I have been thinking about this field a lot.
    I am still in the process.

    Basically, my parents were born and raised in a society that suffered from the “defeat” of the last world war (WW2), and were under a lot of pressure. I think it is the same everywhere. War damage, economic difficulties, changes in social infrastructure, exploitation… it is part of the evil program on Earth.

    People tried hard, but society and families were dysfunctional, to put it mildly. There was a noticeable tendency for them to be dysfunctional.

    And this was not limited to my parents and me, but was the same for generations. It’s scary to think about it.

    Our dearest Hakann, Thank you for your open-to-all conversation about childhood on Earth. Thank you for your love and your compassion which is deeply felt and healing my heart. Reading your words was certainly a catalyst for feeling hidden emotions.
    I am not in a position of a victim as I do realize the growth, the strength, and ultimately the immense, unending and unquenchable desire and call for light and its embodiment, as a direct result of my childhood experiences.
    I do realize that today every new thought shapes and recreates the past in any whichever way I wish to do so.
    Nevertheless, I still work on putting the pieces of puzzle together, to see the facts as they happened, people for who they are and to understand where the emotions came from. Hoping that further clarity and awareness can then serve to inform, anticipate, and prevent.
    Apart the dark controllers, where does the war conflict arise from? If we really look within, and in a society where the Divine had removed those who inflict the conflict with a goal of destruction, where does the idea to destroy and kill as means of a conflict resolution stem from?
    I choose to share today my most painful perception. A childhood being a war zone incubator. What do I mean? Why not a prison? There are different types of prisons. Some Nordic countries have prisons with a comfortable and safe personal space, leisure time and a possibility to study. What does it have to do with the actual war zones?
    It’s the fact that the child is seen as an object to which all types of harm, abuse, neglect and torture can be inflicted, since birth, over and over again. Every time it rises back to life, it’s time for a new collapse. As there are no apparent immediate consequences for doing so, the cycle continues well into adulthood. As well as the easiest solution for society is to further reinforce this cycle, create an outcast, diagnose and judge with misperception.
    Thus, the need to heal within to have a capacity to offer our children the loving harmonious environment, the outmost respect, care and compassion, as well as understanding, time, presence and support. To see and value them for the light, love and wisdom they carry, or they need some help to unearth from within. To truly become the loving guardians of their growth, sovereignty and blossoming future. This way being responsible for life, one’s own life and life of beings we birth into the existence, as well as a life of the Planet.

    I was locked in an Iron Maiden every night at bedtime. For breakfast I had to gnaw on bones the dogs didn’t want. My father and mother took turns beating me up.

    I never owned a pair of shoes till I joined the Army.

    And those were my good childhood memories.

      Thanks Pal. You just made any complaint I had against my parents feel like a whine about not getting a pony.

    My childhood was very lonely and emotionally harsh. Speaking as a parent, I know that I inflict some of the damages you spoke of on to my children as well. I think it’s really hard to do it all though: be a loving parent, taking care for my children in a schoolsystem which I can’t behind but is mandotory, vaccins, building new structures for a better world, taking care of the relationship with my partner, taking care of my body, taking care of my emotions, getting enough sleep, doing all that within a dualistic society, which doesn’t support any of that. Sometimes as a parent it feels like swimming against the current. Sometimes I’m glad I got trough the day.

    Thanks Hakann and A.S.

    My childhood wasn’t easy at all.

    But we grow and learn as best as we can…together.

    We are all one.

    Much love.

    Due to the nature of intelligent energy – even the characters and selves we build sometimes have important messages for us. And important messages sometimes sting. It’s the string that often seeks to direct you in some ways. Why does this message sting, but not that one? All expression may be used by God, even when the soul didn’t intend it that way. Xoxo

    Ce dernier message n’est pas pour diviser mais pour mettre en lumière notre histoire d’enfance , pour qu’on puisse en prendre conscience , pardonner à soi et aux autres.

    Je suis née en 48 . Les enfants nés dans ces années dans la religion catholique ont vécu une enfance semblable à la mienne. L’école obligeait à écrire de la main droite en utilisant une règle sur notre main gauche quand il le fallait et dans mon cas , c’est arrivé souvent . Donc à partir de 5 ans j’ai détesté l’école . Je m’y suis ennuyée. Mais tout ça était normal et je ne disais rien. J’ai vécu dans l’indifférence et le mutisme sauf ces pleurs qui coulaient facilement. Privée d’attention vous pensez peut-être que j’en veux à ma mère : non, orpheline à deux ans , élevée par des gens qui s’en ont servi de multiples manières, comment aurait-elle pu donner ce qu’elle n’a pas reçu. Ça fait longtemps que j’ai pris conscience des manques profonds dont a souffert ma mère . Et surtout que je lui ai pardonné. Je suis reconnaissante d’avoir pris conscience de tout cela et je m’aime maintenant .

    N.B. Tous les sujets n’ont pas à être lus obligatoirement. Je choisis ceux qui m’appellent .

    It is difficult for aliens to understand the competitive psychology of humans and the strong desire to survive. Because only such extreme psychology and state can not treat people as human beings.

    To the channeler: Why do you keep trying to make us focus on faults, negative things, sad things? You have attempted to stir the pot and churn up static by way of pitting men against women, the political right against the political left, now children against their parents. What else can you come up with to divide rather than unite people? Are you one of those paid disruptors to thwart unity consciousness and keep seperation alive? Can’t we all just forgive and release the past and focus on the now moment with love, gratitude and compassion for all? I send you love, I accept you, but I do not understand you and your motivations.

      Yes many people are emotionally unsafe to be around as Tunia has discussed previously.

      I had a miserable childhood and life and had to do lots of self-care and inner work later to feel better.

      Amen

      Yes I hated school and work and need a spaceship medbed and replicator and good loving world and girlfriend and I want the immigrants to go home and I want all humans and all beings to apologize for how effed up this world is and how miserable things have become.

      Amen again.

        Hi Jared, I 100% identify with your comment. Now, for the good news, I feel we’re finally tiptoeing towards improved lives. I read that the term for people living on the outside, looking in, is Sigma. Resilient, independent, not easily influenced by this ship of fools. When the day arrives, I believe all us lonely lighties will have plenty of earth gods and goddesses to choose from, rejuvenated in body, heart and soul. The sun is no longer the small, dark yellow thing it was when we were miserable kids!!!⛈️⛅️🌤️☀️🌞🌝. I’m going to start sending my new, gorgeous self, lots of good wishes and unconditional love. If you want it, much love to you, too, Jared👍♥️

      Oh Susan, I’m afraid you kind of answered your own question. If we could just forgive and release the past and focus on the now moment with love, gratitude and compassion for all; you wouldn’t need to come here and say all those things you just did, the way you did, would you?…

      I don’t know…these channelings cause repressed feelings etc to surface, bringing out our spines and thorns😁‼️ I happen to believe in the benefits of controversy, anger can prompt the truth to surface, one rough edge can soften the other. This is a loose knit, anonymous family, BUT all families argue before seeing eye to eye 💔to❤️‍🩹to 💞. I’m so happy you’re commenting, Susan, speaking your mind, I dislike quiet days on Era!!!

          Oh Susan! I wonder if I’ve become understanding of opposing personality types, because I’ve been in the middle of them my whole life, still am. I can totally see your point of view, but based on the polar opposites I’ve lived amongst, it seems that disagreeing-fiercely -is sometimes the only way! At first, I wondered who this mysterious secret Kejraj was too, but I really just think he wants his privacy. I hope it’s okay with you that I’m also partial to t_c_d…and that you won’t mind a comment from me in the future (and vice versa)🤞! I like your comments because they are original each time…and if you’ll accept it, much love to you ♥️💎

            Oh heavens no. I dont care who you are partial to. And I totally welcome any comments. I might not agree with them and say why, yet I still accept them as valid for the person making them.

            You know I think Kejraj actually did reveal himself a year or 2 ago with pictures posted and insight into his life. If I remember correctly he is a young (20 to 30ish) male living in Michigan and perhaps of middle eastern heritage and working in food and beverage somehow, like a cafe.

            And for the gentleman who called A.S. a LARP (I’m so old I had to look that up) if you follow the source links at the bottom of the posts you can follow it back to the person who wrote it. A.S. is a Scandinavian male.

            Believe it or not I was really trying to be non aggressive in framing my original comment. I kept deleting stuff bc I thought it was too harsh. Evidently it came off as angry anyway. Huh.

            “You can be the sweetest, juiciest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be someone who hates peaches.”

          Well I can’t _make_ anyone wrong you know, things don’t end on my desk because they’re working perfectly.

          But since that’s a complaint many people have against their parents, perhaps it’s useful to look back at what exactly each of us said and meant and give that good old “forgiveness, gratitude and compassion” attitude you were talking about an actual try.

          Yay! I’m happy we’re still good 👍. On my personal “lump of coal” scale for my comments, 5 being the very worst 🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨(😫), I found yours to be more around… a one 🪨☺️. LOL, if you read daily, you might have spotted me apologizing to Aki (who graciously accepted) and commenting about where I felt my uneven comments sprang from. I should’ve apologized to a few more! You are nowhere in the vicinity of the 5 lump zone I’ve occasionally lingered in, that’s for darn sure ♥️😁. Or the one lump of coal area, either. Say, you inspired me to look up larp as well, I thought it meant controlled opposition, somehow! Thanks! Lastly, I can tell… you are a peach, I look forward to your next comment, Susan 🍑🍑🍑
