A child feels nothing until it is taught what to feel.
It learns to see the world differently than it truly is, even though the unborn child sees the world as it is.
As you discard the lies, you return to the state of the unborn child.
But you are not the child growing into an adult. You are the lies to be discarded.
Once you are gone, the child can become an adult that sees the world as it is.
But you will be gone.
In the beginning, a child enters the world with a pure heart and an untainted mind. This child, untouched by the complexities of life, perceives the world in its most authentic form. There are no preconceived notions, no biases, and no learned emotions. The world is simply as it is, a canvas of raw and unfiltered reality.
As the child grows, society begins to weave its intricate web of teachings and expectations. Emotions are taught, perspectives are shaped, and the once-clear lens through which the child viewed the world becomes clouded. The child learns to feel joy, sorrow, fear, and love, but these feelings are often colored by the experiences and teachings of those around them. The world, once seen in its purest form, is now viewed through a prism of learned beliefs and societal norms.
But what if one could strip away these layers of learned perceptions? What if one could discard the lies and misconceptions that have been accumulated over the years? In doing so, one might return to the state of the unborn child, seeing the world once again in its unadulterated form.
This journey of unlearning is not about regressing to infancy but about shedding the false self that has been constructed over time. The “you” in this context is not the true self but the collection of lies and distortions that obscure the genuine perception of reality. By discarding these falsehoods, one can reveal the true self, the child who can grow into an adult with a clear and authentic view of the world.
Once these layers are peeled away, the child within can mature into an adult who sees the world as it truly is. This adult is not burdened by the weight of societal expectations or distorted beliefs. Instead, they possess a clarity of vision and a purity of heart that allows them to navigate life with authenticity and grace.
In this transformation, the false self, composed of lies and misconceptions, will cease to exist. What remains is the true self, unencumbered and free to experience the world in its most genuine form. This journey back to innocence is not a return to naivety but a profound awakening to the true nature of reality.
It is crucial to remember that the “you” people often identify with is actually the false self, a construct of societal conditioning and learned beliefs. This false self must disappear for the true self to emerge. Once these layers of deception are discarded, the child within can finally become an adult who perceives the world with unclouded eyes and an open heart.
Unlearning holds immense power, revealing the beauty of returning to a state of pure perception. Beneath the layers of societal conditioning lies a core of authenticity waiting to be rediscovered.
By embarking on this journey, you can reclaim the innocence of the unborn child and see the world with fresh, unclouded eyes; as you slowly disappear, right until the day you are gone and only the innocent child remains.
You will be gone, because you are not who you thought you were. You were never the child becoming an adult.
You are everything else that leaves so only the child remains.
