Profound and Weird Incident

[Gadasaa]

Earlier today, i was driving home with my 7 years old son sitting in the backseat. He then suddenly said, "Daddy, you're dreaming." I was kind of shocked at what he just said and before i could reply, he said again, "i'm just joking, you're not dreaming, it's real life." Now, it left me wondering how a seven year old can say such a profound statement.

Wonderful. Would it be possible to educate a predisposed child in real mysticism? I guess not yet, because who would educate him? This science is embryonic. but maybe in the future yes. Maybe when he turns 8 you will give him a tennis racket and 50 ug of LSD after a 4-day meditation retreat ?

@Breakingthewall Meditation, yes. LSD, no lol. It would be too reckless for me to give my kid such substance at such young age.

Yeah of course, I meant maybe in the future, in some special cases, it could be possible. when mysticism, the openness to infinite reality is something normal, clear, understood. If this evolution happens, I would say it has to happen, humans will open up to real intelligence

Probably got the idea from clips he saw, on youtube or the like.

Heh, if I told my grandparents that growing up I would have gotten the living shit beat out of me.

@Gadasaa It’s good that you are open minded with your children. Kudos to you!

I had a similar incident when I was younger. Except I was that kid.

Can’t remember how old exactly but I was young. I asked my dad ‘why are we here? How did we get here?’

I was frustrated he couldn’t understand my meaning. I was asking philosophical/metaphysical question but didn’t have the language to express it any better at the time. 

My father could only understand it in terms of ‘oh we immigrated here before you were born’ lol
