Innocence Is a Priceless Gift

November 11, 2020 by Rogier 21 Comments


Guard well the innocence of your heart and mind, for, once lost, it cannot be retrieved again. To possess innocence is a priceless gift, because from the innocence of your being your life's journey is created with wonderment and magic, fulfilling the glad expectations of your inspired vision.

    Principle of High Magic #125
    The greater the depravity of some, the more the corruption of the innocence of others. Innocence is the absence of programming, whether meant to be benevolent or depraved, Seek out that which inspires, and and avoid that which programs the way you see the world. (see its accompanying wheel)

    Principle of High Magic #126
    The corruption of innocence comes from absorbing others' worldviews. The inclination to adopt others' views stems from the deep knowledge that our world is unknowable. The more we can surrender to not knowing, the more we preserve our innocence. (see its accompanying wheel)

    From The Book of High Magic~ Almine

    If we are not able to retrieve what has been lost, then there must be a purpose for loosing it in the first place…we can still gain understanding to deepen our perspectives. Nothing is lost without leaving a gift in its place…you are always in your own company. There is only you, and the real you never changes. Evolved innocence has the ability to find itself in anything, it is always there because you are always there.

    Guarding something that one imagines will be lost forever is a paranoid device of "toxic purity".

    This post makes me think of a poem by Michael Jackson (the entertainer), a man who was crucified for his innocence by a world that has lost its innocent and so forgotten what it looks like. His fate for me always serves as a good reminder that innocence will not be widely understood and needs to be guarded carefully, and ideally kept out of the spotlight so that it can shine fully undisturbed by the profanity of human society.

    "Once there was a child and he was free
    Deep inside, he felt the laughter
    The mirth and play of nature's glee
    Beauty, love was all he'd see

    He knew his power was the power of God
    He was so sure, they considered him odd
    This power of innocence, of compassion, of light
    Threatened the priests and created a fight
    In endless ways they sought to dismantle
    This mysteroius force which they could not handle

    In endless ways they tried to destroy
    His simple trust, his boundless joy
    His invincible armor was a shield of bliss
    Nothing could touch it, no venom, no hiss

    The child remained in a state of grace
    He wasn't confined in time or place
    In Technicolor dreams, he frolicked and played
    While acting his part, in Eternity he stayed

    Soothsayers came and fortunes were told
    Some were vehement, others were bold
    In denouncing this child, this perplexing creature
    With the rest of the world he shared no feature
    IS he real?He is so strange
    His unpredictable nature knows no range
    He puzzles us so, is he straight?
    What's his destiny?What's his fate?

    And while they whispered and conspired
    Through endless rumors to get him tired
    To kill his wonder, trample him near
    Burn his courage, fuel his fear
    The child remained just simpel, sincere

    All he wanted was the mountain high
    Color the clouds, paint the sky
    Beyond these boundaries, he wanted to fly
    In nature's scheme, never to die

    Don't stop this child, he's the father of man
    Don't cross his way, he's part of the plan
    I am that child, but so are you
    You've just forgotten, just lost the clue

    Inside your heart sits a Seer
    Between his thoughts, he can hear
    A melody simple but wondrously clear
    The music of life, so precious, so dear

    If you could for one moment know
    This spark of creation, this exquisite glow
    You would come and dance with me
    Kindle this fire so we could see
    All the children of the Earth
    Wave their magic and give new birth
    To a world of freedom with no pain
    A world of joy, much more sane

    Deep inside, you know it's true
    Just find that child, it's hiding in you." – Michael Joseph Jackson

      Thanks for posting this poem by Michael! I just came across a short interview a couple weeks ago of his publicist who spoke of his childlike wonderment and bliss his being exemplified and why he thought he was an extremely evolved being!

      I always saw and loved Michaels' innocence,,, however that being said, I have deeply appreciated Almine's words where we are to understand that we need to evolve innocence as naievity to innocence with experience = Wisdom… it is still possible to maintain innocence in our perspectives using the most profound perspectives that Almine has articulated, eg Eternal Perspective, Poetic perspective et al … seeing through, with compassion and Eternal Love

        Absolutely dear Susan. The whole balanced inner family needs to be involved, particularly the discernment and wisdom of the Sage as you say, otherwise you have the "child running with scissors" phenomenon (innocent, but dangerous).

    I wonder if there is a difference between losing innocence as a little child or as an adult. This may sound naive, but in my encounters with people who suffered sexual abuse as a child I always felt that they can receive the blessing of 'forgetting' – meaning that they feel and act like it never happened. When I work with them I see them in their innocence. Frankly, it would make me incredibly sad to see them as scarred for life.

      If we could not retrieve these qualities again, then what is the point of this work?

    Any of us who can recall their early childhood, who have raised a child, who have participated in the childhood of their grandchildren…Know: that innocence ends with schooling. Generally nersery school. For which parents push their baby to prerequisites for admission like potty training, leaving their softy and pacifier behind, not clinging to mummy's apron strings. Remember: Raising your hand or finger to ask a question; waiting to be called on? And if you spontaneously want to pipe up with "Why?" you'll rarely be called on again.

    So the qualities of life lived innocently are forfeited for nearly everyone by their parents, who see ño other way. I did that, as it was done to me. And retain no societal memory of what Innocence is.

    This seems to contradict the statement on the Diary that innocence is found in the moment and cannot be tainted by the past, no? Or would this be referring to a complete loss of innocence, as in becoming corrupted?

      Ciara, to me it feels like, as long as we guard our heart's innocence and the mind as well, we can always find pockets of innocence in different areas of our lives. I have seen it as my parents grow old, past their 83rd year. They are remaining more and more in their childhood state. This is because they are somewhat human, has to do with memory loss. But, for God beings, that were never born, this is not a criteria that applies.
