Yet an adult can also learn to do the same.

Very Poetic, but I question its validity
Not sure that the child gives love for love's sake.
Seemingly, it returns love for security and nurture. Just as l'havdil a pet. The child is in the absolute mode of Animalistic Soul, which is naon to it being in the stage of purity.

See in to a childs eyes and behold. The world has many faces, but the spirit from within recognizes that what is within others as unity. For what face does a spirit wear, than that of a body and spirit merged as one. As a beginning will never have an ending, as He above made a space in-between called love. Reply

Unconditioal Love
A child feels the divine in love.
An adult calculates the benefits.

Childish G-d G-d started the work of creation because He wanted to become a child and join and play with all the other children. Thats the conclusion I draw from all of my experiences dealing with G-d since my early childhood. The reason we know our place has been distorted is because our reality doesnt allow Him to be a child and rejoice with all the other children. Reply
