There was an unexpressed understanding that the children were some kind of blessing to the social consciousness. On one hand, the innocence, joy and freshness of youth blessed the overall ambiance and attitude of the adult interactions with the same playful and self-surrendering abandon. And, on the other hand, their presence checked and mollified what would undoubtedly have been a much more vicious and unacceptable acting out of mind games and karma. They gave us life and acted as our social “conscience”. Although they have expressed as adults that they were not prepared for the “real world” with a necessary worldly education, and that they suffered from exposure to rather unusual experiences, it is pretty obvious that these souls were supposed to be here and had the spiritual background to actively participate in the Sunnyridge experiment.
