From a site visitor: [Received 05 January 2007] Would you talk more about that Child Ignorance you mentioned to Luca today? Thank you.
F.: In order to understand the way that consciousness becomes corrupted, in order to understand the way that consciousness can be re-purified, and in order to understand the functioning of the totality, you must understand the cycles that are repeated over and over. You must realize that (a) conscious-energy can cycle into and out of manifestation and that (b) if it manifests via the space called “humans” it will undergo seven steps of corruption that separate it from being in touch with reality and that separate it from knowing THAT Which It Truly Is. The bastardization of the consciousness among persons will be so complete that they not only do not know Who/What They Truly Are but will eventually believe that they are what they are not.
Here is the way that one cycle of manifesting began: first, there was that period when I did not know that I was. Prior to manifestation, this energy that I Am was within that vast and unadulterated pool of unmanifested energy wherein I was not conscious of myself. (How could I be? There was no self or Self or being that afforded an opportunity for Me to be aware of Me…or of anything.) Spontaneously, the conscious-energy manifested in a plant that was consumed by those who would come to be called “my parents.” As pointed out last Thursday,
On this planet, the fount from which the Is-ness “springs” is in every vegetable and in every grain of wheat and in every leaf on every tree and in every piece of grass.
That act by “my parents” of consuming a plant in which I had manifested was followed by various cell formations within the space called “their bodies.” Two of those cells were a sperm cell and an egg. An act of friction set off a chain of spontaneous events whereby consciousness (and eventually “self”-consciousness) would be forced upon this space called “floyd.” It was not asked for, it was not sought, and no sacred contract was arranged in advance of the manifestation. (Only after the total bastardization of the consciousness can a person become so ignorant as to dream up such nonsense or can a person become so ignorant as to believe such nonsense as that.)
Eventually, even as an infant, I became aware of my presence. I knew I existed without being told that I exist, just as the consciousness labeled “a bird” knows it exists and will flee from perceived threats in order to sustain the manifestation. (Similarly, a loud noise in my presence would cause me to jump in an automatic fashion, already having being “wired” in a natural way to take action to try to sustain the consciousness.)

However, no words had yet been taught at that point so no thoughts happened at that point so no concepts has been acquired and accepted as “truth” at that point. In those early days of manifestation, I witnessed. At that point, only a full stomach and dry clothing were required for bliss to happen. All was still fairly simply at that point. To return to the Child Ignorance stage is to return to that stage of simplicity wherein such contentment can happen again, but to reach that stage requires reproducing the exact conditions that existed at that time, namely, being free of concepts and beliefs. Please enter the silence of contemplation. [To be continued]
