A child’s brain will believe ANYTHING. Especially things, rationals and beliefs it came up with on its own. As these are based on the child brains own practical and physical experiences.
Practical and physical experience that served as PROOF of the rationals and beliefs formed. And all in all, it seems like a fair assessment, right?
However, the pudding is in the PROOF, as this so believed PROOF, is 100% based on the child brains ability, or lack of ability, to interpret and understand the practical and physical experiences it had.
Would you, as you look at the world today. Would you want to base your life decisions, even small decisions. On the rationals and beliefs of a 2, 3, 5, 7 year old child’s brains ability to interpret the world you live in?
Me neither.
Santa Claus I mean, we grew up believing in Santa Claus (or something similar based on your culture). Believed in him for years. Until the belief was sufficiently challenged and finally disproven. When you found out it was just your dad.
How many of your child-brain created rationals and beliefs are probably as false and ‘empty’ as Santa Clause? - But has never been tested nor challenged consciously.
I’m especially thinking about the rationals and beliefs about yourself, others, the world, love, money etc. Limited and limiting child-brain interpretations still ingrained in your adult brain, that cause you to doubt, to fear, to self loathe, to self sabotage and self punish. To shy away from opportunities, from what you REALLY need, want, desire or dream of.
What if... What if your child brain got it wrong? Like really REALLY wrong.
What if... You are mostly suffering for or blocked by. Interpretations made by your 2, 3, 5 year old brains limited cognitive abilities.
What if... The stories you have been telling yourself about yourself, your abilities, your worthiness, your ideal of what it takes to be ‘good enough’
What if... They turned out to be just as false and ‘empty’ as your old belief in Santa Claus?
Wouldn’t you like to expose THAT Santa?
Don’t believe everything you believe. Most of it, especially the painful stuff, the stuff that no longer serve you. Is truly ‘just’ the best guess interpretations of your sweet but limited child brain.
If you feel in your heart right now. You know this to be true. Its been true for years and years. Your child brain did everything it could, at the time, with all it had to work with. It literally fought like a tiger for you.
Unfortunately the way your child brain got wired, was to believe in the misinterpretation of the PROOF.
I invite you to close your eyes now. And, to the best of your ability, see or sense yourself as the baby, the toddler, the child that you where. And open your heart to this amazing but clumsily thinking little being. Send it love and tell it how sorry you are for blaming and shaming it for all the efforts it made on your behalf.
See it and ask that you be forgiven for all your misguided transgressions against this little beauty of a human being. A being so starved of your love, honor and acceptance. It defies any grownup logic.
It might not be ready to embrace you just yet. You both know how you have treated this part of you in the past. But you can remedy that. By visualizing yourself like this. Again and again. Every time saying, with emotion:
“I am sorry for everything that I did, that kept us apart and disconnected - Please forgive me - Thank you for your forgiveness - I love you, SOOOO MUCH”
This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship and the real and true foundation. For the two of you to challenge and disprove ANY and ALL your other 'Santa Clause' misconceptions and misbeliefs. About ANY and ALL the things you are ready to let become distant childhood experiences, left behind, drained of pain and influence on you, going forward.
