Today during a guided meditation, my higher self showed up as a little child of about 4 years old. This sweet, joy filled child looked at me and smiled. I felt total love and total acceptance from my higher self. It was quite a beautiful, meaningful experience.

What is so special about a child? It is not just that they are innocent, but that they are curious. They are playful and want to have fun. Even the mundane has the potential to become a game. They don’t worry about the future, because they are too busy living in the present moment. They trust implicitly that their needs will be met, and that people will do the most loving thing toward them and for them.

They are who we are meant to be—even after the knowledge of good and evil. We are meant to get to a second naïveté.

Instead of being ignorant and naïve, we move into a space where we have knowledge of the world, yet choose to live in the wonder—a place where we are open to life and all its curiosities and mysteries, a place where we can flow, and a place that we embrace love in all its forms and can be love for others.
