childlikeness, n.All

Childlikeness (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the ideal of artist and sage alike — acting without affectation, without being in two minds — and the way to the child runs through the woman.

Childlikeness (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not the same as staying a child: Jung reminded a theologian that Christ said "become like children," not "remain children," one small sign of how Christian experience gets prettified.
