Are we losing our innocence? The deeper you go down the rabbit hole, the more discoveries you make, and the crazier our existence as human beings on this planet comes into clear view. We have lost our innocence, and that is becoming more and more obvious, the deeper you go.

I remember when I was younger, and I found it outrageous the government could come into my wage packet and take money from me. In those days, I was a printer, and paid in cash every week. I had a certain amount of months before I was taxed.

Loosing My Innocence With Outrage

I still remember the first wage packet I was taxed on and I stormed into the Directors office demanding to know why my wages had gone down quite a lot. He explained that it was tax for the government. I was disgusted that they could do that without my consent.

It was at that moment I realised that I wasn’t free to choose where my money went and how it was spent. Some people may call me naive, but I believe I was innocent to this world. I had been through what would be perceived as a good school system. But because I was refusing to be conditioned to this world, I obviously didn’t comply with the conditioning because of this reaction in me.

Loosing My Innocence With My School

Also my school was all boys up until the age of 16. We were almost conditioned to look at girls as objects, and that the male was the stronger gender. Men do have the ability to increase their strength more than women in times of conflict, but I feel woman really hold the balance of power, for many different reasons. My education was trying to mess with that true understanding.

Now we are in a position where we have sexualised everything. We have made young men and women into sexual objects for marketing and selling products and services. I really do feel that is stripping us of our innocence and even dignity. And the porn industry is enormous. What does that tell you?

Losing Our Innocence With The Sexualisation Of Society

In the box set Homeland, I love it when one of the old CIA directors said to another old friend ‘You’re never going to get any sense out of these F### monkeys’. I feel that is detrimental to monkeys, because they don’t entertain such behaviour. We do. Our predator mind has come to the fore once again.

And even tantric yoga has been corrupted. When you realise the true meaning of tantric and see what has become of the practise in some individuals, again it has lost its innocence. The Kundalini energy is the female energy rising in you. The Male energy comes down in us and they meet in the heart chakra, where we become a human being of both heaven and earth.

The more I look inside of myself and try to get back to that little boy who really saw the world for what it is, and how that boy has been stripped of his innocence, the more I see in me, the work I have to do on myself. I personally don’t believe we have to become monks and nuns, but we can become more dilligent about what we are doing from moment to moment.

Regain your innocence By Using Your Intelligence

To simplify this, I am really talking about all of us distinguishing between our intelligence and our intellect. Our intellect will justify everything we do in some way or another. Our intelligence will take second place, unless we are aware of what is happening inside of ourselves, and that deep regret of ‘Why did I just do that?’ will occur in your thoughts.

I remember being in a band with a singer who was really into his cocaine, pot and prostitutes. He would go on binges for days at a time. And when he had finished, he would show up completely hollow and wasted. And I would ask him was it worth it? He would say no, there is something missing in this. He was being truly honest. And I see now what was missing was love.

The trappings of the material world are certainly there. I feel they are there to be enjoyed, innocently. I feel we can experience everything as long as we are not hurting or harming anyone, or anyone elses’ space. But that is a difficult thing to fathom in these times of deceptions and lies being everywhere.

How Do I reclaim My Innocence?

Be more diligent

We can turn around loosing our innocence. Reclaim your innocence by being more diligent in the way that you interact with the world. When we break down all the conditionings and live with the spirit of collaboration and not competition, then you see changes happening in your life. I have some big changes coming up for me, which I will share with you in good time.

Keep your integrity

Always do what you say you are going to do. And that will give you integrity. With that comes responsibility and taking control of your life. This will lead you to focus more on what you want and actually bring you back into your innocent state. Now more guilty feelings.

Let your conscience be your guide

Remember Jimini Cricket out of Pinocchio. This will lead you to the same place as sticking with your integrity. None of us want little pieces of guilt being stored up in our sub conscious. We we clean out our subconscious we are moving back to our innocent self.

What If I need Help With Reclaiming My Innocence

If you feel you have been loosing your innocence, I have created a course called the Dream Method that will help you with this.

This has been a difficult subject to breach. I hope I have made what I feel is clear. And if you disagree, that is fine too.

Until then, be well and keep shining.
