If there were no adults, life would still include suffering for children.
Will you provide any examples?
From my perspective I have NOT observed what children could possibly 'suffer' from, without adult interference.
Children have different characters, just like humans of all ages.
So, to you, all human beings of all ages have different characters. Okay.
Lacewing wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 8:12 am
Some are brave, some are fearful, some are happy, some cry a lot, etc. They encounter injury and experience fear just like any living creature.
But, as I have already proposed children do NOT 'suffer' from an 'injury' nor an experience of 'fear'.

They may also experience rejection or cruelty or insecurity from being around other children.
This, as I was pointing out, is the result of adults doing, and more specifically adults WRONG doing.

Depending on their character, they may handle this in many different ways.
Children may handle 'what' EXACTLY in many different ways.
From my perspective ALL human beings, children AND adults, handle ALL 'things' in many different ways.

Although it may be true that children in general are more spiritual or pure, they are still human with varying characteristics regardless of the families they are born into.
But what is 'it' EXACTLY that makes children 'human', to you?
If, for example, children were brought up differently, then could they be some thing other than 'human'?

To me, 'one' is an individual thing, of the One Universe/ALL-THERE-IS.
'you' is 'one' of the individual things of ALL.
To me, the 'one' here is speaking to ANY 'one' that WANTS to listen. Thee 'One' hears, and responds. But, if this 'one' WANTS to listen is another matter. And, even when 'one' WANTS to listen how much 'it' actually HEARS, and does NOT misinterpret and misconstrue is another matter.
If 'you' REALLY WANT to have a Truly OPEN and Honest discussion, then let 'us' proceed.
'you', the one known here as "lacewing", informed 'me', the one known here as "age", and asked, "Instead of speaking to "you humans", why don't you speak to that which is throughout all?"
Now, because you proposed and asked this to 'me', can 'I' clarify with 'you' who and/or what is the 'you', you were referring to here, and who and/or what is 'that', which is throughout all, which you were referring to also?

The views expressed are in NO WAY being proposed as being correct in any way, shape, nor form, but are only going to be proposed as IF 'you' can SEE just HOW I obtained this perspective of things, from the experiences that I was so fortunate to have experienced, then I am just curious to LEARN, when LOOKED AT from this perspective does this or could this help in anyway provide closure to some of the seemingly unanswerable questions?
If the answer ends up being No, then okay. And,
If the answer ends up being Yes, then okay also.
From my perspective, from my past experiences, what I am observing is that the, "seemingly", endless of task of KNOWING Thy Self is just thee Universe, Its Self, or Life, Itself, which is just also known as Essence, Itself, which is animated and speaks through all humans and all life, is just in the process of KNOWING Its 'Self'.

Why would there be any need for being known?
Is not one of the natural traits of the human being to learn, and to understand, and thus TO KNOW?
This may NOT be about to be 'known', but rather to just 'know', through learning. Is it not a human quest, 'to know'?
Does not EVERY near born human being 'want' to be heard, recognized and accepted for who they Truly ARE?
Could it be that 'Life', the animated Essence within EVERY 'one', 'wants' to be animated or listened to as much as It could be, so that 'It' will be recognized and accepted for what 'It' Truly IS?
There may not be a 'need' for this, but what purpose would there be for Life, Itself, or for living, itself, if the 'you', or 'I', were NEVER recognized nor EVER 'known'?

How is the, so called, "human reality" different from the actual 'Reality', Itself?
Also, and as I have been pointing out, 'that', which is PERFECT, and the Essence, throughout ALL, ALREADY KNOWS. So, 'known', in that sense, is meaningless. That is; if 'it' is ALREADY KNOWN, then 'known', itself, is meaningless.

You appear to really like adding the words 'must' and 'need' into or onto My sentences, when I have OBVIOUSLY NEVER used those words.
Now, NO. I do NOT think human beings are the intelligent species this "must" occur through.
If thee Truth be KNOWN, the adult human being, at times, still falls VERY SHORT of providing evidence for the human being to be an intelligent species. However, WITHIN the adult human being
the ability to learn, understand, and reason is still there, just like it was when they were born.
Also, and to make this VERY CLEAR, because of HOW thee Universe, Itself, is eternal AND infinite, there could have been countless of times that an intelligent ENOUGH species have evolved to uncover the Truth of Thy Self'. BUT, that/those species could have also easily carried on with there old WRONG behaviors and wiped their One and ONLY home and/or themselves out completely. OR, they could still be living, but just in another part of this One and ONLY Universe, and either continually evolving learning and understanding more and/or anew and moving towards living in peace and harmony with 'one' "another', or, ALREADY be living in in 'world peace' as 'One'.
See, to me, human beings are NOT more special than ANY other living thing IS. Human beings are just 'one' species, which has evolved into being because of and from EVERY other 'thing' BEFORE it.
Human beings CAN BE the intelligent ENOUGH species, which 'Life', Itself, comes to KNOW thy 'Self' through. Or, human beings CAN BE a pretty stupid lot, which means they could wipe themselves out completely, BEFORE realizing the True BEAUTY of what recognizing, and accepting, of one's True Self and what can be could CREATED, and the actual
life which that could have unfolded before their eyes, just like ANY other, supposed, 'intelligent enough' species.
Life, Itself, is "designed", or, works in a way in which It is continually evolving. Therefore, An 'intelligent enough' species will, "always", be coming into Existence. Whatever the name of that species is of absolutely NO REAL importance, but A species will be created, which thy Self can be KNOWN by, and through. If that species just happens to be known as the 'human beings' species, then so be it. But, it is CERTAINLY NOT a 'must' that uncovering and KNOWING thy 'Self' occurs by, and through, the species, 'human being'.

I didn't need to be "allowed", I just felt it and was aware of it.
As I implied before feeling and/or being aware of things such as this at birth is a very special and unique experience. I wish I was aware of what I felt at birth.
A lot of children are/were smacked at birth, and thus abused at, and from, birth, and so were not necessarily 'allowed' to experience and be aware of a feeling of 'very in-tune' with this Universe.

The actual abuse that 'you' inflict upon children children is PERFECTION. I SEE and KNOW this, and this is because of the VERY REASON WHY this kind of OBVIOUSLY WRONG and INAPPROPRIATE behavior is ALLOWED to continue.
See, this behave HAD TO happen, up to the days this is being written, so that 'world peace' could come-to-BE.
If 'you' want to walk around in Life and SEE that the abuse 'you', continually, inflict upon children is PERFECTION, and use this as 'your' EXCUSE to just continue to carry on doing the WRONG, which 'you' OBVIOUSLY DO, then so be it. 'you' are FREE to do whatever you want and like to do. Obviously, if you SEE "perfection" in EVERY thing 'you' DO, then there is OBVIOUSLY absolutely NO reason for 'you' to change at all. In fact, if EVERY thing 'you' DO is PERFECTION, then there is NOTHING AT ALL for 'you' to change, is there?
'you' can BELIEVE that 'you' are PERFECT, but NOT EVERY thing 'you' BELIEVE is actually True, Right, nor Correct.

as they are, supposed, to be "old enough" already KNOW BETTER to NOT be "affected" by what "others" do to them.
Why would a human's age be an indicator of what they should know and be affected by?
Because one day human beings have to become Truly and FULLY responsible for EVERY thing they think and do. While they do not, then they will remain, like they are in the days when this is being written, always with an excuse, so some one/thing else, to blame for the WRONG way they think and/or do.

Have you even had much experience with humans?
Not enough to know how to communicate with them and be heard and fully understood by them. But, enough to know WHY this has occurred and happens.

They are all over the map!
They are on some of the planet earth, with a few not on earth. I am not sure what you mean by "they are all over the map".

Many adults still seem like scared and foolish children. But you do not care about their suffering?
Did I EVER say, "I do not care about adults suffering"?
If yes, then WHERE, EXACTLY?
Or, did I actually say, 'What adults do to themselves is of NO real concern to me'?

How do you know what essence "chooses"?
Was I talking about 'children', or, was I talking about 'Essence'?
Lacewing wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 8:12 am
And, according to your logic, adults who were once children didn't choose to come into this life either, right?
EXACTLY RIGHT.
How humans behave, and misbehave, is solely due to what they have experienced. AND, because absolutely NO adult has experienced living in a Truly peaceful 'world', then OBVIOUSLY there is NO adult, YET, when this is being written, who has thee knowledge to do ONLY what is right, nor do they have the Right knowledge to pass onto children.
Oh, and by the way, do you see any thing 'illogical' what I wrote before this? Or, were you trying to suggest that adults, who were once 'children' (in human perspective, but which still are 'children' in the larger, PERFECT, perspective) somehow did choose to come into this Life?

The Essence within, or throughout, ALL, is thee One that does NOT want children to suffer.
What makes you think there is any "wanting"?
Because 'wanting' can be, and is, observed EVERYWHERE.
Also, ALL humans are born with an internal desire, or 'want', to live in peace AND in harmony with "others".
And, if there was NO 'wanting' to be happy AND content, in peace AND harmony, then there would be just absolute chaos, with NO compassion NOR love for 'one' "another".

Of course you'll get an answer from humans: they LIVE in a realm/reality of wanting and feeling.
Is there ANY 'other' realm/reality where 'one' can LIVE without 'wanting' and 'feeling'?
If yes, there WHERE is that realm/reality, and, HOW does that realm/reality actually exist?

Why would essence have any such notions?
Essence, Itself, does NOT necessarily have such a notion of 'wanting' and 'feeling'. Essence observes 'things', through the perspective of 'things'.
Essence ALREADY KNOWS and LIVES HERE-NOW with NO 'need' of 'wanting'.
But because Essence is throughout ALL 'things', and is therefore the WHOLE, then it does NOT 'want' parts of Its 'Self' suffering. Just like the WHOLE 'human being' does NOT 'want' parts of its 'self' suffering. A human being does NOT 'want' its body parts injured and/or in pain, as it does NOT 'want' its thinking part not understanding or confused, as it does NOT 'want' its emotion part hurting or not content and happy.
The Universe/Essence, Itself, also does NOT 'want' ANY part of It in conflict nor in discord. The Universe/Essence, Itself, does NOT 'want' human beings in conflict, discord, nor in disharmony as they are now, in the days of when this is being written.
The Universe SHOWS just HOW It does NOT 'want' this as It does what It does till either the discorded thing is wiped out and eradicated or is changed in a way until EVERY 'thing' is back in harmony AND unity with thee One.
Some human beings, in the days of when this is being written, are searching for a Theory Of Everything, which will be found just comes down to very simply: EVERY 'thing' has an opposite, which ALL sits in equilibrium. The Universe works this way, as It does eternally, and infinitely HERE-NOW. The Universe will eradicate that which is NOT in harmony/equilibrium with Its Self.

The 'things', which are in 'agreement' with EVERY 'one', are the 'things' that are aligned with PERFECTION, and which thee True Self, thee Essence within or throughout ALL, says, 'It is this way'.
How can one agree with itself?
Are 'you', the one known as "lacewing" here, aware of just how much you are starting to sound like the one known as "dontaskme" here?
A 'human being one' can feel and be in conflict with its own 'self', which can be CLEARLY OBSERVED and EVIDENCED, in those times when people are contradicting their own 'selves' and/or in those times when feeling conflicted in regards to what to think and/or do. So, if the 'human being one' can do these things, individually, then 'one' can, individually, also be in agreement with their own 'self'.
Now, the 'Essence or universal One' is ALWAYS in agreement with Its own 'Self', but, OBVIOUSLY, human beings' thoughts and thinking can be in COMPLETE disagreement with what thee Essence KNOWS.

Are the parts somehow being and acting separately from the one?
Obviously the parts of some thing can NOT act 'separately' from the WHOLE, but the parts can act in ways, which are NOT in harmony with the WHOLE.
Lacewing wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 8:12 am
Is that why you think the parts must agree?
BUT I HAVE NEVER thought the parts 'must' agree. Until 'you' get rid of this COMPLETELY WRONG ASSUMPTION and/or BELIEF, then you will NEVER come to Truly and FULLY understand what I am saying, AND MEANING.
If you EVER REALLY 'want' to understand what I am actually meaning, then you will REALLY have to start to STOP adding this 'must' word into what I actually saying.
To me, the parts NEVER 'must' agree. It is just the case that 'what' the parts ALREADY actually 'agree on' is what thee Essence actually IS or what leads to discovering what thee Essence actually IS.
There are some things, which the parts ALREADY agree on, OBVIOUSLY.

Do the waves of the ocean need to ebb and flow in a certain way in order to be in alignment with perfection?
Until you rid your 'self' of the WRONG assumptions and/or beliefs, which you keep continually make here, then you will keep asking 'me' these completely NOTHING in alignment with what I am actually saying and meaning questions.
There is NOTHING in what I have said, and meant, that even suggests that ANY thing is 'needed'. So, to ask me if ANY thing 'needs' to ebb and flow in a certain way OBVIOUSLY has absolutely NOTHING to do with what I have actually said and meant. Unless, of course, you can PROVE otherwise.
Lacewing wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 8:12 am
Is perfection how anyone thinks things should or need to be, or is perfection how things actually are?
Here you go again adding the words 'should' and 'need' in where they have COMPLETELY and UTTERLY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL to do with what I have already said, and meant.
To me, PERFECTION is how things actually ARE. And, how things actually ARE right now is I am HERE-NOW explaining HOW 'you', human beings, can and WILL end up living in a Truly peaceful 'world' with one "another" together as One, soon enough.
