Afraid of your own shadow

I cannot speak for Kisito, but here's what his post sounded like to me:
Shadows may not exist in 5D? (not sure about that). So with that assumption why would a child be afraid of a shadow, and not its newly incarnated body, both being something new and not existing in their recent reality? I think it's like the child is surprised by this thing that now follows them, as a result of light being obscured (again the assumption that light doesn't exist in 5D or works differently), and the fact that the child is closer to its spiritual self. Although with the recent session stating that souls may not seat for years that previous thought may not be so in all cases.
Peter Pan having no shadow is interesting. Maybe he represents a 5D soul that flies around in 3D helping children? Never growing up, or incarnating and being given solidity, thus he has no shadow. Just speculation, anyways.

That's an interesting idea. I was thinking along the lines of variations in children's pattern-recognition ability. I wonder how much of a stretch it would be to suspect that a child confused by their own shadow could be a result of the influence of parasites on their brain development.
The little kid is discovering two laws of physics, sunlight shadow and gravity. Like every learning process, it can be scary, painful, and fun (also amusing).
As for Peter Pan, it is usually said that it's heavily autobiographical, although one can wonder if the author did not connect to some mythological archetypes as well. After all, "Pan" is a very interesting deity of unclear origins. Peter Pan in the story acts like a psychopomp and a trickster. Also, it's not that he doesn't want to grow up, as if he chose through freewill not to live life, but he's literally "The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up" as if he was already in the realm of the dead. In fact, it's clear from the beginning of the story that the neverland exists within the psyche of the children, and that Peter Pan in a certain way haunts it. Maybe a rereading of the story (not the Disney version) would reveal more "sinister" aspects. OSIT

I spoke of Peter Pan, because I look right now the series "Once upon a time".mkrnhr said:
This is a child who strongly desire the path (STS). When he becomes an adult, he realized that his desire (STS) developed a double him, and he lives in his world "imaginary". This double is his shadow, which is independent of him. As if his side (STS) had become more important than its part (STO)!
I understand that one is amazed at the severity and shade, but what bothers me is how can we be surprised at the severity or the shade, when one is aged 1 to 2 years ? One is surprised or scared when you have beliefs or knowledge, but when one is innocent and pristine 3D concept, how can it disturb us? Unless perhaps this fear just a memory 5D or antérieurs..Finally may I create my stories

I think I saw that video first on Facebook and since it is of a very small child, my first reaction was the farthest from funny. I got the idea that a mean adult somehow managed to put an irrational fear into the child just for the laughs and video opportunity. I remember wondering what I'd do if I walked up on that situation IRL.
Anyway, I can see how an adult could find his own similar experience funny in retrospect, but it sure wasn't funny then, huh?

I was wondering about that too. It's important not to overlook "boring" 3D causes because we have some level of control over those. We have a lack of information and people react to that in different ways. Some people spin off into paranormal theories because that's what they think about all the time. However this can mean overlooking straightforward 3D causes.

Maybe I'm too mundane but I'm not sure why we need a metaphysical explanation to a simple situation:a 2 year-old sees a big black thing clinging to her shoes mimicking everything she does and impossible to shake and she gets - understandably - freaked out.
Shadows are a difficult concept for children to grasp. Some can recognize a shadow (theirs, others') quite young but that does not mean that they actually understand the 'phenomenon'.
Here is what a cursory search yielded (source: DeVries, 1986; Piaget, 1929/1960):
So at her age, it's totally normal that this little girl would not understand what is going on. No need for her to have any type of beliefs or knowledge to be freaked out, osit.
