Being a child

[Smokeytehbear]

Does anyone remember looking at the world differently as a child?  Litterally differently.  I remember the moment when I noticed things looked different, less amazing I'd say.  I don't really know how to explain it, but it was just 'different'.  They say your pineal gland hardens when you hit puberty.  Imagination goes bye-bye while all those things you were taught were 'childish' and 'in your head' may have actually been the gateway.  Add that to the cultural calcification of the pineal gland and you have a  spiritually crippled people from the get-go.  Shines a little light on the 'inner meaning' of the scripture 'unless you are converted and become like children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven'

Dear folks,

well here we are now.

Most of us permanently damaged and intoxicated with mercury from foods and vaccinations, our brains incapacitated by sodium fluoride, mental stability destroyed by artificial iodine in salt and dairy products, further brain damage caused and temporarily intoxicated & weakened by aluminum, barium etc. introduced into the air and clouds by lasting vapor trails of modified jets and their chemically enhanced fumes.

The list is long.

That's because when you were a child, everything was new and wonderful.  Things can only be new only once.  First favorite song, first kiss, first christmas you realize what's going on, etc.  Thus, once 'first time's are over, the wonder and magic is gone.  That's why people travel.  To keep experiencing as many 'first's as possible.

I agree with CFTraveler. When you are a kid everything is new all the time, and when you get older you tend to stick to patterns and new things can fill you with fear and anxiety.

Jesus said something along the lines of "remember what it was to be like a child".
