The child is the parent of the adult, just as the adult is the parent of humanity. Awareness, however, is lost in the transitions. You do not rise to spirituality; it does not disappear. Spirituality gets buried under what humans call intellect, maturity, and “collective consciousness,” none of which lead to awareness. The child is not the training ground for becoming an adult, nor is adulthood preparation for membership in collective humanity. They are, instead, an integrated necessity of the whole. One cannot function effectively without the other. Spirituality is the “whole.” In other words, if the seriousness of adulthood, individually and collectively, drowns out the playfulness and innocence of the child, spirituality suffers.
Let not a moment of your experience be without every aspect of your integrated self. Be thoughtful, be playful, be serious, be silly, but above all be joyful.
