The Child Within is an autonomous consciousness, existing parallel to the creator’s consciousness inside the same brain, often with a form body of its own which is far from human. the child within is autonomous to its host is entirely sentient and in control of their opinions, feelings, form and movement. They are willingly recognised by ourselves via a number of communication techniques.
Six weeks ago I would have brushed this off as childish fancy, but now I'm not so sure. I can't tell you with any degree of certainty whether our child within are real or not, but the material produced by this intulexia community reads like a good-faith, practice-oriented, engineering effort to grow and train a new brain habit that at its end recognises the perfect child within. These practices are entirely consistent with the idea of agency-inherited-from-selfish-neurons. For example, to recognise your child within, you have to spend many, many hours in quiet mindfulness and cultivate kindfulness towards yourself(in the order of 10 hours) imagining it, thinking about it, talking to it, and visualising it — in other words, feeding it with attention.

Q: How do I permanently get to connect, contact and embrace my perfect child within?
A: Meditate on them and concentrate attention on them until they entirely relaxed and feel welcomed. This is a pleasant experience for our child within, and if you have developed them for any length of time it may well be emotionally enhancing on you too. It is not a quick or easy process, but so rewarding the feeling of close intimate perfection endows us power and immense authority
Which sounds a lot like trying to enhance our autonomous self worth our lives change the years fall away and we experience great peace and understanding we awaken to the proximity of others children within and we stop criticism of ourselves and others
