Our inner child knows too, although until now it has been quite a painful experience for adults to allow full uninhibited expression of their inner child. Every child is an infinite wisdom in a body with just a little human experience. The role of each adult is to recognize and respect that wisdom and assist the child to grow and gain human experience without losing the connection with the infinite wisdom. Everything else is already known to the child. The child however, reflects that infinite wisdom, reminding the adult what is essential and how to avoid becoming lost in the human experience.
Children are the purest reflection of life in human form.
Every time we approach children with respect we regain access to the vastness of cosmic wisdom. They are not extensions of our ego-self and our illusionary desires, hopes and fears. They are independent, fully developed souls with their specific evolutionary journey. Our ignorance and arrogance interferes with their soul purpose. They need our respect and recognition.
