In a world of separation, children generally exhibit greater openness and ease than their elders. This is primarily because children have not yet constructed their individual systems of self-confinement. Although unity is rarely sustained beyond infancy, pre-pubescent children still enjoy much fuller and easier access to pure consciousness than older persons. This advantage is called innocence, and it allows children greater freedom of thought and feeling than adolescents and adults allow themselves. A child's life is thus more playful and pleasurable, and it may inspire and challenge a responsive adult... Adults who are heavily invested in realities of isolation and limitation regularly find themselves telling their children why various things that may be desirable are not possible. In this way children learn about and are prepared for adult participation in a world of scarcity and negative thought. At the same time, children's unfettered expression of desire, and their indifference to limiting explanations, provides adults with simple but potent examples of freedom in thought and feeling... Sudden change in the evolutionary status of humanity during celestial dawn presents parents with remarkable challenges and opportunities. Because the children tend to be more established in life's deeper truth, they will furnish the adults in their sphere with a stream of opportunities to move beyond their limiting assumptions. Many parents and grandparents will gradually come to realize that the children are actually teaching them, and even deliberately helping them prepare for life in the next age.
