I Used to Know Everything
A parent vividly remembers an extraordinary conversation with their young child, who appeared to have a deep connection to a time before their birth. The child, who was only 4 or 5 years old, eloquently described their experience in the womb as warm and “cozy,” in stark contrast to the cold and intimidating nature of being born into the world.
However, the parent was shocked when their little one confided that the most challenging aspect of being born was the loss of knowledge. According to the child, they had known everything before entering this world, but the birth process stripped them of that wisdom, leaving them ignorant about everything. This revelation from the child’s innocent and unfiltered perspective raises intriguing questions about the mysteries of human consciousness and the possibility of forgotten knowledge from a realm beyond our comprehension.
