It has in a manner of speaking occurred to me that there is an inherent flaw in Enigma’s manner in which to return to innocence. The call is to “just look into yourself” as the return to innocence. However, when one looks at an innocent child or watches the manners of an innocent child, one can't help but notice that their extreme outwardness is what makes them innocent. It is when they do things obviously for personal gain that they are, in a word, "not cute." I would therefore conjecture that an attempt to return to innocence has little or nothing to do with a mystic "power within" but rather deals directly with an outward selflessness.
Of course, this is not to say that their is no value in Enigma's Return to Innocence:
Don’t be afraid to be weak.
Don’t be too proud to be strong.
If you must then start to laugh.
If you must then start to cry.
Four points of advice that I would say point directly towards being honest with one's self.
Go and Set the World Ablaze
