If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Even Babies Don't Always Take Baby Steps
Unity Consciousness #267

.

Even babies don't always take baby steps. Anyone who has been around a child for several years knows this.

Even though most babies crawl before they walk, babies never forget that crawling is a way to get to where they are trying to go.

Even babies don't only take baby steps. Once they learn to take baby steps, babies don't stop considering crawling as an option. Anyone who has been around a child for several years knows this. Even babies who can walk will sometimes crawl when crawling seems like the thing to do.

The beautiful thing about babies is that no one has to teach them how to run. The momentum of mastering one thing leads them to the logical next step in the developmental process. Babies have a constant hunger for understanding. They take bigger and faster steps in testing out their beliefs about themselves and the world. When babies are trying to accomplish something they draw from a mix of skills already proven beneficial - running, walking, crawling, scooting, etc.

Steps In The Wrong Direction

“What am I capable of?” This is the default mode of questioning that babies persistently use before being sufficiently miseducated into suboptimal views.

In other words, the world to babies is understood to hold more possibilities when they were only crawling than when they are standing as miseducated adults.
