This really made me think.
I am not sure I can agree because I believe in reincarnation, and I also believe that babes remember certain aspects of existence that they forget as they grow up.
I think that it is possible to open our minds to some of these things again as we get older.
It is the innocent part that I question because of my current studies. I suspect that we have a clue of what we are coming into though we allow ourselves to forget that to come into our bodies.
Innocence IS our true nature and inheritance from the Creator. But there is significant intelligence that comes into the world with the child's birth. From what I have witnessed.
It is difficult to find the words for what I am trying to say. And it might be different for each of us depending on the path we have chosen to experience in our formative years.
