: A deeper reflection reveals the TRUTH of notionless living which happens naturally in one's childhood. Memory recall & trying to recapture consciously would again get one spinning inside the cobwebs weaved by the mind.
: Therefore, cleaning up and unlearning one's notions and conditioning may suddenly open up the possibility of pure loveability immersed and realizeable only in a childlike state of approach to life.
Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean with all this. You must agree that in one's childhood one is already spinning inside the cobwebs weaved by the mind. If this wasn't the case in YOUR childhood OK, but in my childhood this WAS the case. But I'm not realy sure what you mean by "notionless living". Maybe you are reffering to the very EARLY childhood, in the first 2 years of one's life? I guess so, because in that state one's logical thinking isn't developed yet. In that state the human being is still very primal, just like the animals. It just feels the need for food and other basic things, and then it tries to get it in a way that does not require a process of REASONING. And you COULD be right about that theory of turning back to the "early childhood state". But then I ask again: What is my motive to go back to that state? How can I come to that decision?
