Our spiritual journeys accelerate when we turn and love the little child within, whose innocence reflects our true Soul nature. Adults may be loathe to admit how much their lives reflect and even replay the suffering and disconnection they felt as kids. But we can take our freedom anytime. As children we were hostage to what was going on in our families but now as adults ourselves we have the choice whether to really love and honour ourselves or not. It is through going inward and loving that little kid that we free ourselves and heal our inner disconnect. We are then able to see more clearly how our ego has been functioning and gradually we learn to starve it of our attention. If we persevere, our conditioning finally dies entirely.

You know,

This one helps a lot of people speed up on the journey.

And the thing that speeds them up is that they realize they're allowed to love the little child within.

They're allowed to love their innocent nature because it's the little child within who's closest to the nature of our soul.

It's closest to the characteristics of our soul.

The innocence is like the innocence of the soul.

Yeah.

And so many of us struggle on the journey and we get stuck in that we're doing it wrong and we're judging ourselves.

And really,

It's really,

Really heartbreaking to watch.

And often the ones who get the most stuck are the most sensitive,

Loving ones who have never felt that they fit in well to this mechanistic world.

So when they go on the journey,

They end up doing the same things to themselves.

They end up creating the same emotional climate,

Being too hard on themselves,

Judging themselves,

Feeling they're doing it wrong.

Basically,

They demoralize themselves.

So please love that little child within.

You know,

Really I have to say it's often women who get stuck in this.

But you know,

Not always.

Guys can do it too.

And often the sensitive,

Loving guys haven't felt like they really fit into this world either.

Please take your permission to be wildly,

Wildly loving with yourselves.

Because,

You know,

That's what will free your child up.

To feel that,

You know,

He or she can rise up and be in this world as if you allow it.

Because,

You know,

When you were a child you were hostage to what the grown-ups around you were doing.

But now you've got your freedom.

And it's kind of an existential choice whether to really love and honor yourself or not.

You know,

I was speaking to a woman recently and her mom was a really kind of bossy mama and hard on this little munchkin.

And so her default state as an adult is feeling exactly like the little kid did.

In this case,

She felt like everything's a mess and there's no way out.

Yeah,

It's very heartrending.

And she never felt the permission to love the child within before.

And I was going,

Come on,

You've got to love her.

You've got to love her.

Because,

You know,

If she doesn't,

This default state of feeling everything's a mess and there's no way out,

Just stays.

It just then becomes the climate that a life is lived in.

You don't want to do that.

No,

Please.

And,

You know,

It's not just her little child.

I mean,

This is what many of us felt like growing up.

And,

You know,

It's really behind the smiles of little ones,

You know,

That we might see on the street.

It's underneath.

They might be in enormous pain as they're feeling the disconnect between their soul energy and their family emotional climate.

Yeah,

But it doesn't show often.

They learn to just wall it off,

Just like their mom and dad do.

Yeah,

So please,

You know,

This above all to thine own self be true.

Love yourself.

You know,

When you really love the little child within,

What it will do is it will actually take you to God.

You go through the inside,

You love the little child that you were.

And so you understand yourself psychologically.

And then you can start really seeing how your ego functions.

And then you can,

You know,

You don't get fooled anymore.

And then your ego dies.

You know,

Which thoughts are coming from your ego,

Which thoughts,

What's inputs coming from your soul.

And so you,

You don't pay any attention to the thoughts coming from your ego,

And it dies.

And then you just merge with your true nature.

I mean,

Finally,

If you take it far enough.

And it's certainly an accelerative time nowadays,

And people can move really fast.

So especially if they get this point that,

You know,

You can love the little child within you.

He or she really needs it.

Okay,

Bless your hearts.
