I would like to make one point about innocence. In spirit's eyes we are all innocent because we often don't know any better. But if we are brought up by critical, overbearing, authoritarian or even abusive parents we can lose the ability to see our flaws and failings as normal. We lose the ability to be human. All our actions and results become tinged with guilt, blame and worry. We do our best to be perfect to try to live up to someone else's expectations or avoid their wrath and tear ourselves apart when we don't meet that end. We can even come to a place of feeling responsible for how others feel. So to get our innocence back we need to start to let go of self criticism and conforming to others and start to see ourselves as spirit sees us. Humans who are just trying to sort their way through an experience they don't fully understand. Any mistakes or failings that happen on the way are just a part of the learning process.
