THE PURE LOVE OF INFANCY: REDISCOVERING OUR TRUE NATURE

THE PURE LOVE OF INFANCY: REDISCOVERING OUR TRUE NATURE 

Introduction

The journey of life often takes us far from the pure and unconditional love that we embodied as infants. In this exploration, we delve into the profound innocence of infancy, free from beliefs, and untouched by the constructs of culture, environment, and society. We also challenge the notion of a "sin nature" and embrace the idea that, in the eyes of love, there is no judgment for what we believe or don't believe.

The Love of a Newborn

Babies come into this world as blank slates, devoid of beliefs and judgments. Their essence is pure love—unadulterated and untarnished by the complexities of life. As we reflect on our infancy, we can appreciate the profound love that resides at the core of our being.

The Cultural Conditioning

As we grow, we absorb information from our culture, environment, and society. We learn beliefs, customs, and behaviors that shape our identities. While this process is natural, it can sometimes lead us away from the innate love we once embodied.

Born Without Sin

Challenging the concept of a "sin nature," we recognize that babies are not born with inherent sinfulness. Instead, they are born with the capacity for love, kindness, and innocence. The idea of sin nature is one of many constructs that can distance us from our true essence.

Freedom from Judgment

In the eyes of love, there is no judgment for what we believe or don't believe. The unconditional love that greeted us as infants remains with us, offering acceptance and compassion regardless of our beliefs or actions. This realization sets us free from the fear of judgment.

A Journey Back to Love

Rediscovering our true nature is a journey back to the love we embodied as infants. It involves peeling away the layers of conditioning and beliefs to reveal the pure heart that still beats within us.

Conclusion

Infants enter this world with hearts full of pure love, free from beliefs and judgments. As we navigate the complexities of life, we may stray from this innate love, but it is never truly lost. The journey of self-discovery involves returning to the love that has been with us all along.

Embracing the idea that we are not born with a "sin nature" liberates us from the burden of guilt and judgment. Instead, we can choose to live in alignment with the love that is our true essence.

In the end, the journey back to love is a journey toward wholeness, unity, and the rediscovery of our most authentic selves—infused with the same pure love that greeted us on the day of our birth.
