"Innocence is the essential principle of regeneration." 3994 Emanuel Swedenborg.

Becoming “clear” means to access our inner center of being, the mind free from mind chatter. This inner center is the hub at the center of the wheel, as our core-intention. Personality with its mind chatter lives on the outer rim of the wheel, subject to the cycles of life and death. Personality’s spiritual center of being is its inner core of innocence — the True Self.

To access this innocent Self, is not by a centering into innocence, but an expansion of the core out to the outer circumference of personality. The dissolution of personality makes way for expansion into our true self. By stilling the mind, intuition dominates, and personal memory weakens as cosmic memory predominates, resulting in a state of silence.

Life is still experienced as being separate, but an intuitive knowing of our connectedness takes over. Eventually, intellect subsides allowing the heart to rule over our thoughts, blending heart and mind, but with the heart ruling from a state of innocence. The process is a continuous ebb and flow of centering and expansion, of knowing and not knowing, a contraction and then expansion, with the personality being regenerated further and further out of existence. It is the ultimate sacrifice, to emote ourselves out of our state of separateness.

Separateness has a stressing effect on the body that creates the tension and contraction, but it merely reflects between opposites. The effect, the creation of personality, with its false sense of free will, is the sacrifice that begins the process of regeneration. It leads to this pleasurable expansion of innocence, and the birth of the Christ Child within. The personality becoming Christ-ed, and become ‘like that’ innocent, feeling-tone.
