Spiritual Experiences # 1826

  
/ 6110  
  

1826. It is amazing that mental images are enriched more by the Lord when a person is not paying attention or trying to fill them in, or is not looking. Thus I believe the mental images of little children are enriched much more than those of adults while they are praying the Lord's prayer. Adults disturb them with their own mental imagery, so that they are rendered unsuitable to be enriched, because they are from their own thoughts. Although this certainly sounds paradoxical, yet I have learned it from actual experiences.
