As an adult, our mind don’t simply take in the world as it is so much as they make educated guess about it. Relying on the guesses, which are based on past experience, saves the mind time and energy.

For example, instead of trying to figure out what teh fractal pattern of green dots in its visual field might be, it just assumes leaves on the tree from past experiences.

On the other hand, kids’s perception are not mediated by expectations and conventions in the been-there, done-that way, they see world as it is.

Spirituality helps in restoring this childlike immediacy, sense of wonder and experience of unity with nature.
