It came up in class that several of our students have learned about the inner child, perhaps with a therapist, and worked with this idea to appease the inner child, with the belief that it is part of them.
The inner child idea is interesting. I think it is an attempt to work with undoing harm to the amygdala, which is the emotional, pre-three-years-old brain.
The thing called the inner child is not you. The group of aliens called Synthetic has used this as a tool to access and control you, create a relationship with you, and distract you from living life to the fullest. It preys on your weaknesses and invites you to spend years sympathetically attempting to resolve things done to you in early life.
The idea of an inner child is much like multiple personality. It also resembles schizophrenia. The more you entertain the inner child as part of you, the more embedded it gets.
Kick the inner child out ASAP. This does not help you, nor does it move you to more freedom and God alignment. For those who have innocently worked with the inner child for a few years, use Reverse Halfmoon, 5 hours, to clear.
