The Subject of Today’s Ask Teal Episode Is: How Babies Perceive
There are always variables for how anything perceives. Babies are no different. But for the sake of understanding, think of coming into this life, like opting into a “video game program”. At first, you are not fully integrated. Neither are your senses. You have to acclimate to it. The perspective you hold is still much more the perspective of your eternal self. You have not fully forgotten who you really are. You have still not forgotten that your experience is coming in response to what you give your attention to. This is why babies are so good (especially until they are about two) at ignoring things that they do not want to pay attention to. Gradually, your attention gets trained. You learn to focus on things your parents want you to focus on whether or not they make you feel good to focus on. And you go deeper into the program.
When a baby is born, their brain uses about 70 percent of their total energy intake. When babies are born, the parts of their brain that are developed are the parts that control survival. Such as Reflexes (like sucking so they can take in milk) and survival systems such as heart beat and breathing. Memory, which is responsible for recognition (recognition of mother’s smell or familiar faces, develops over time. Memory, allows us to differentiate between what is wanted vs. what is unwanted and to learn so the being can use the learning experience of this life to evolve (which is the entire purpose of coming into physical form in the first place).
When babies are born, the world is very fuzzy. Newborn’s eyes are physically capable of seeing perfectly at birth, but their brains aren’t ready to process all that visual information. It is actually not true that Babies see in black and white at first babies are born seeing color but they have difficulty distinguishing between similar tones, such as red and orange or blue and purple.
This is because they are not integrated into the program yet. They visually perceive mostly light, shapes and movement. They have not learned how to focus yet. They have no depth perception until about four months old. But as the baby learns to focus, they will begin to see the world more like you see it. By eight months to a year, the typical baby sees like an adult sees with the exception that they usually hold a vibratory rate that is high enough that they still visually and auditorily perceive thought forms. Such as light beings, ghosts or spirit guides. As long as the vibratory rate of the individual stays high and their expectation isn’t trained away from the belief in them (by parents who say your imaginary friends aren’t real)… they will continue to perceive them into childhood and even for some, into adulthood. They must learn to see objects by ignoring what is around an object. This is why they are so drawn to high contrast edges and patterns. You learn to differentiate parts of the quantum field by ignoring the space around an object and focusing purely on the object. This is when things begin to look “static” and finite. It is also when the ability to see auras and other energy fields fades for most children.
Babies also have to acclimate to emotion. Though feeling exists past the physical dimension emotions does not. Emotion is a physical process. And feeling and emotion is not the same thing. The more energy we are able to focus on an individual thought or thing, the more it reflects as emotion, so when we are very young and not able to focus yet, emotion does not register in the body as strongly at all. We are born highly immature three months immature to be exact. Our babies can only fit through the birth canal if they are born three months premature. As a result, many of the babies’ physical processes are not able to participate in the physical program yet. This is why wise parents adhere to the fourth trimester philosophy of parenting an infant. They simulate a womb like environment for an infant even though they are already born.
Babies act according to the universal principals that exist. It is not natural to be out of alignment, and so the natural behavior and perspective of a baby is in alignment with their soul. They are self-focused because to continually find alignment with one ‘self is natural and beneficial and ensures not just survival but also enables them to thrive. This natural alignment is what allows their true, eternal self to flow unrestricted through their physical body. Which is why looking into the eyes of a newborn feels very much like staring into source. This is also why it is very difficult for adults to stay out of alignment (and maintain a negative emotional state) while spending time with babies.
Could you expand more on how to “simulate a womb like environment.” I’d like to know more so we do not disrupt the alignment of the babies being born today and those to come. Thank you.
When I was a little girl,I could see into dimensions that other people could not see. When people asked me where I was from, I would point to the sky, or the stars of Orion and say,”There. That was my home.” I would question adults about things I should not know; and correct them when they spoke of ideas they had misinterpreted. My adopted parents did not understand, my odd ways – I was five. Their only explanation was that the devil was fighting to possess my soul. They tried to thwart this devil with their religious beliefs. When they could not understand why I questioned their ideology and misinterpretation of God, they prayed harder. It was difficult, but I was grateful for those prayers. It taught me how to actively communicate with those who listened to prayers. These angel-beings answered by protecting and teaching me how to live in this world of souls who were so different than myself. They taught me to withhold my words, and act in a way that was acceptable and non-threatening to those, who were younger souls than myself. I learned to hold all of the wonderful things inside and bury them in my heart, so that I could safely lead the life I came to experience. Just as your talk explained, as I grew, I began to forget and mold my beliefs to those I depended upon. As I grew older, I prayed and prayed that God would take away the visions that popped into my head – glimpses of other dimensions, understanding beyond my experience, and memories of past lives and extraordinary history,so that my new parents would not send me away. For 37 years,I even forgot I was adopted. I forgot my brother and sister, my birth parent and my life before age five. In that space, I remembered only the banal memories, normal to any child. It was not until age 37 that I allowed my fears to pass from me and love to fill that void.I woke up. I am still waking up twenty years later. Thank your for your words. Namaste. Andria Rose
