I remember the development of my libido.
I didn't know about sexuality but I fantasized about getting "dirty" by sweating in the paint.
I was having strange sexual dreams where me and the mascot of a famous French insurance company (Cetelem) were having sexual fun while rolling around in paint, modeling clay or stuff like that lol.
Probably the development of the sadistic-anal stage.

lol, is that even a thing for normal children?

A child is not Awake. Its mind is just empty. An empty mind is not Awakening.

Only when my mind is empty do I enter a state of Samadi (absolute union) with reality. Just as I did as a child.  I have re-awakened.

Of course 👍

Children just live in presence more that is why time seems to be flowing slower. And they have more imagination/love within, so they live in a higher/happier state. But when it comes to earthly duties, they're innocent noobs not knowing what is awaiting them.

Heard about this, super interesting.

I personally recall an experience as a baby where I saw an entity/spirit/ghost with perfect visual clarity. That horror stereotype about kids seeing invisible spirits and ghosts is really true TBH. I remember looking at my mom to make sure I'm not dreaming and wondering if she could see it as well.

I also recall another experience but I honestly could not tell if that one was a dream or not, probably something more hypnopompic.

There was also a lot of sleepwalking as a kid, wonder if that was normal or just me.

You were probably looking for Leo so that you can pester him about his shitty stance about enlightenment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯   That’s some childish intuition right there

I was thinking about making a jab on this thread actually. You know me too well.

Are you able to have memories from when you were a baby? If so, that’s impressive. 🤔
My first memory has to be when I was at least a few years old lol.

I think I went back to a memory of when I was a baby on LSD, when my brain created reality, but that may be illusory. The first sentence I said to myself was “We’re playing a role.”

I only remember things that stood out to me as unusual when I was a baby. I could tell even as a baby that the experience wasn't normal, which is why I remember it I think. Babies are smart enough to understand facial recognition, so seeing a ghost/entity was definitely comprehensible to me, and I even had the foresight to check that I wasn't dreaming and I glanced at my mother to see her reaction to it, but aside from that I didn't care much or could do much. As a baby you're just looking at random things and you have to sort of accept them as normal and move on because your knowledge and capability is so limited. Otherwise you're right, there is not much else there. All my memories as a baby are just things that were extraordinary in nature, so a few odd experiences here and there. My memory of this experience is still quite vivid somehow, probably because it was just so odd that my brain didn't want to forget.

there are two responses one can have to any situation, a frown or a smile

frown is every time you say f-this, smile is every time you say behold-this

What about saying "f this" and widely grinning? I'd count that as a win.

What about saying "i have to behold this" and suffering for it? That doesn't sound very advisable.

In other words: That notion is so blatantly oversimplified that it's just wrong.

The Idea of Innocence, of being naive to the horrors of the world, is innocence, which a child would have, since it is not aware of the horrors of the world unless it is being brought up in it for real. So only what You are aware of is reality for You, so Enlighenment is being Aware of everything, conscious that there are ppl suffering hell right now, and there are ppl living very happy lives right now, and that You can either suffer the ppl that are suffering and add to it, or make Yourself into what You want to see in the world, Innocence in the light of Knowing there are horrors going on right now, that is the basics of Enlightenment I would think, a child is not enlighened in their experience, as Leo said, they just don't know and are in a more natural state of Bliss than us adults hanging on to our baggage:)
