The brain (Identity)

I'm finally having some time to catch up with the discussions here. My elderly parents have had more and more of my attention of late as their time on this earth grows closer to it's sunset. But it's always nice to come here and find a discussion that takes me out of the here and now to a different here and now. -> Last week, our younger son came over from the States with our grandson (4 years, 9 months). Our house borders on playing fields, which little Keanu calls "the park". One day we went for a walk to a shop about 20 minutes away, in the opposite direction to the park, but we came back a different way, where he'd never been before. As we walked along a narrow winding lane, I asked him where he thought it would take us. His first answer was: "Home!" which put me in my place. Then I told him it would take us to somewhere before home, and he immediately said: "The park!" I asked him how he knew, and his response was: "My brain told me. My brain tells me everything."

> I'm still pondering the implications.-My take on your grandson's brilliant answer is this: Before we are told or conditioned how and what to think, our minds can pick up information available to all in the energetic field of All That Is, but usually people do not ask children questions about how they think, or pay much attention to what children think. I believe your grandson may have no idea where the info comes from, but he does know that when you asked the question, the information was readily available for the picking so to speak. When we grow older, we fill our minds full of information told us, whether true or not, it is there, and usually, we believe it. We have no reason to distrust what we are told. But I've noticed, when I genuinely ask children their take on something, they will immediately have a brilliant answer that does many times take pondering to grasp just how their answer can be so. -When I was stuck in bed for 5 years, my little one (born the same year I was first attacked by the illness) fascinated me and taught me many things I could have never realized on my own and never would have if not stuck in bed with plenty of time to ask questions and listen.-Several brilliant things I learned from her was:-"All water is old." That from a just turned 4 year old in response to my telling her not to drink from my cup of water beside my bed since it was old and had been sitting there since over night. Did she "know" what she was saying? Very unlikely, but it sounded profound to me. She was probably just listening to what her brain told her in response to what I said. But then, sometime later...-"Mommy, people and dogs don't get old like water. They just get tired then have to go somewhere else to live where they don't feel so tired." That little speech she gave us was after our dog of 17 years died. We explained he was old like our aunt who had also recently passed.-"Dark is in-between all the light." This was a musing of hers during a day sitting with me on our deck watching the horses eat grass in the field. I thought she was speaking of shadows so I asked her to point to the dark that she was talking about, and she looked up to the sky and then raised her hands up and all around and said it's everywhere in-between everything and wondered why I couldn't see it. Dark Matter? Who knows. It's what her brain was telling her! - I'm still pondering as well....
