> Lots of us know that to sleep a baby we have to change it, feed it and even give it a bath. And some times we also have to sing to it and rock it gently in our arms. I’ve seen mothers with their tired crying babies without being able to sleep. The confused mother in a desperate tone of voice would say “Please go to sleep. You are already tired. Just close your eyes and you will be able to sleep.”
> The mother is trying to give an advice that works well for her when she is tired and tries to sleep, after all, it works for her (as it works for all of us).
> So, what is it about the baby’s environment and feelings that we do not understand? Let’s go back to the fetal stage of a baby inside the mother’s womb. I would think babies have the ability to dream. If this is true than babies have the ability to see even with their eyes closed. Just like us when we dream. The difference is that we learned to turn our images in a dark black color screen in order to pacify our visions and let us sleep. A baby in fetal and just born stages does not know how to do this. The baby is in a learning phase to filter the images that don’t let it sleep. In fact the baby can see mucho more than what you could imagine. The baby in time and using the ability to repress feelings and visions will soon turn into a person just like us. This is normal and part of human evolution known today. If the baby was not able to do this, it would eventually get sick and die because sleep is part of our survival.
> Can you imagine the things a baby can see? And that you can learn this rediscovered ability? It is believed that some babies can see the people’s aura. I would even venture to say that they can see celestial beings, angels and other invisible beings invisible to our eyes. Babies cannot distinguish form or colors and is in a process to discriminate that which is of no value or that can bother it. The baby at some time learns to filter, also known as repress.
> All of the above is interesting and sure enough you are asking, “And how does this help me?” The answer is that we are constantly repressing (filtering) feelings, visions and other abilities that today would appear to be mystical magic acts. You have the potential to see beyond what you see in this physical limited world. I will give you an exercise to show you. I’m sure you remember a vivid clear illuminated dream. That means that you can have the same image quality when you close your eyes, anytime. Try it tonight when trying to sleep. It’s almost impossible. If you enjoy doing meditations, try it in one of your sessions. It’s very difficult too. This is because we were very good in learning how to filter in our initial baby stages.
> One warning, it is very difficult to achieve this ability to see like an illuminated person (baby). If in any moment you are able to recapture this ability, you will have passed to the next stage where the challenge will be to turn on or off this talent, or better yet, to live consciously your dreams.
> You have the knowledge. Now you understand the reason why babies have a hard time getting to sleep, it so frustrating for the baby, that the baby finally burst into tears crying.
