The inner child is said to reside between the manifest and subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind becomes the entity, the essence, that tells us positive and necessary answers.
But that subconscious answer is replaced by the inner child.
Because of the successes they experienced as children, the inner child believes that what they experienced was right.
So if the subconscious answer is different from your answer, you switch answers, thinking that you will “fix it to the right answer for the conscious mind.
Children act like what they are doing is right.
The inner child is also a child in the mind, so it is not doing this out of malice, but rather to switch answers purely because it is better.
To give an example, if the parents do not get along well as children, the children always live in their parents’ faces.
If you are able to get your parents in the right mood by always looking at them, this will be one of your success stories.
This successful experience is etched in the mind as clearly as if a seal was stamped on it, and forms the inner child.
When the inner child is formed in such a way, even as an adult, he or she will act in the face of others, looking at their faces.
Even if it is someone else who has nothing to do with you, you are concerned about what they are thinking and their complexion, and you try to move on your own, judging their situation in your own mind.
This behavior is good if it works, but because it is self-serving, it results in what we do being considered strange behavior, and we unconsciously do things that are disliked by others.
As a result, relationships go haywire.
But I don’t know myself why I’m going crazy because I’m acting like I’m doing the right thing.
And this situation or condition can occur over and over again.
The inner child thinks it is right because it has a successful case, so it ignores warnings that the subconscious is wrong and says, “Next time it will be successful!” and will switch the answer over and over again until it succeeds.
Why are you so stubborn? You may ask, but the inner child is not flexible, just as children are not flexible.
The basic inner child has strong assumptions and sees things only one way.
So even if others point it out to them, they think they are right, so they repeat the same thing.
That’s why in the spiritual world it is said, “Heal your inner child and things will change.” I think that’s why in the spiritual world it is said, “If you heal your inner child, things will change.
