Abstract: '...Armstrong believes that children come into this life radiating and reflecting the mystery of creation; that their spiritual nature as well as their basic instincts are close to the surface of their awareness. Unfortunately, for the most part, parents, teachers, and child therapists have not recognized this delightfully useful aspect of the childhood psyche. The author notes that this hidden side of youthful consciousness has been noticed and appreciated primarily by poets, mystics, authors of fairy tales, and world mythologists. These folks identify with the wonder-child, the divine child, the child-god, the child hero. This practical guide is heavily documented with case-histories of "radiant" experiences, the reality of which is supported by telling testimony from the author's peers.'
