Those truths we can anchor onto as we pass out of this life, and help us not to fall prey to fear, illusion and despair.
Cantando, on a quick read of your most recent posts, I think that people are objecting to your points, for the following reasons:

1. Not all children received good teachings when they were children
2. People can receive good teachings, after they have grown up
3. It is not accepted that teachings acquired in childhood are inherently superior to teachings acquired in adolescence, or young adulthood, or middle age, or for that matter, in old age.
