Carnival - Mask Required
The strongest prisons aren't made of bars, but beliefs passed down through generations. What is spoken in the dark is heard by the unseen realm and what we whisper into the shadows doesn't simply vanish. The secrets murmured in darkness are not truly lost; they resonate within the unseen realm. In the deepening shadows, the boundary between our world and the spiritual realm thins, allowing whispers to echo through a reality that has coexisted with humanity from the start. Children, particularly in their earliest years, possess a purity of heart and spirit, a connection to this realm untarnished by the world's complexities. Yet, we are all born into a "fallen" state, carrying the potential for both good and evil; daily obstacles of Conscious Choices. This very duality is the crux of our existence, a lifelong test of endurance. We are challenged to identify and confront the elements within ourselves that stand contrary to love, compassion, and the divine characteristics within us, striving to bridge the gap between our inherent purity and the imperfections of our human form with its natural desires for (physical) material things.
Matthew 18:9 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.” Jesus talking.

What you say can and will be used against you, depending on whose listening…Historically, children's innocence and vulnerability have made them susceptible to exploitation and harm, exemplified by the ancient practice of child sacrifice. Cultures like the Phoenicians, Babylonians, Egyptians, and Canaanites engaged in this horrific ritual, sacrificing infants and young children to deities such as Moloch, Chemosh, and Ishtar, often through burning of children.
Deuteronomy 12:31 “You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way, for every abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.”
