In this video, we delve into the profound teaching from Matthew 18:3: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven". This isn't just about cultivating innocence or mental stillness; it's about a whole-being return to the childlike state, encompassing the body, energy, spirit, and, above all, an unshakable love of life.
Discover how children embody integrated aliveness, living beyond man-made schedules and rules, guided instead by the natural rhythm of their being. A child is:
Learn that "heaven" isn't a distant destination, but a present state of full harmony with life – where body, mind, and spirit dance together without conflict. Joy is a child's default state because they trust life, greeting it with a smile, movement, and curiosity. While adults often lose this natural delight, succumbing to fear, resistance, and overthinking, this childlike joy is not lost forever; it's simply buried and can be reconnected with intention.
The path back to this state is not "upward" but inward and backward, a return to the "garden of your original being". It's about observing and copying the wisdom of a child: living when your life force flows, resting when it doesn't, acting with joy, receiving with love, and surrendering without fear. This includes practices like:
Living joyfully is presented as the greatest spiritual practice. This childlike delight, powered by your love of life, not only heals trauma and improves physical well-being but also aligns your consciousness with the universal joy of being. Ultimately, to enter "heaven" is to wholeheartedly say "yes" to life in its entirety, embracing that unified state where every part of you rejoices in existence.
Think of it like tuning a musical instrument that has gone out of sync; "becoming a child again" isn't about discarding your adult experience, but rather about re-tuning your entire being to the original, harmonious melody of life, where every note—body, mind, and spirit—plays in joyful concert.
