Most human beings cease to develop at around the age of ten or twelve. The average seventy year-old is often a ten year-old with sixty years time-in-grade. We must learn to see the difference between a Human Adult and a Human Child as easily and unmistakably as we see the difference between a sixty year-old and a six year-old. Our societies are of, by, and for Human children, which explains the self-perpetuating nature as well as most of the silliness we see in the world. Human Children might complain a lot about the movies they’re watching, but they continue to watch without doing anything about it. They’re convinced they are in the movie by some powerful, external force, and that they are helpless to change anything. In fact, they believe the thing that needs to change is “out there” – someone or something they have no control over. Even voting is an act of a Human Child, a statement that change is only possible by changing -them. They’re convinced the movies they’re watching are reality, life as it has to be; and they take no responsibility for their condition. Some Human Children might actually have discovered they are free to stand up and walk off the movie whenever they wanted. But the fear soon becomes overwhelming, and back they go.. comforted by the fact they are in such good and plentiful company.
Human Childhood is the ego-bound state. It is, in (actual) human children, a healthy and natural state. In human adults, however, it’s a hideous affliction. The only way such an affliction could go undetected and unremedied is if everyone were equally afflicted, which is exactly the case. No problem is recognized and no alternative is known, so no solution is sought and no hope for change exists.
Many people are happy to spend their entire lives as Human Children immersed in their movies and I’m not trying to suggest there is anything wrong with that. There isn’t. It’s exactly how it should be..
