Perhaps even with a soulful-awareness, until we learned to NOT see because of the gradual lessons to be afraid; to see separateness; , and to be as suspicious as our environment says we should be.
Actually, as adults, most of us unconsciously look out (from the window of our soul-child) with anxiety, caution and fear. Which would mean, my unkind thought is a re-action to what I've been taught to believe, but has nothing to do with the soul-child's kindness that still breathes within me.
