Clarity of Innocence

We can each claim our own place in this universe!

We can stand as tall as we choose. But we can’t do it secretly. It has to be completely out loud!

We decide our own value. We pick out for ourselves, our own relative importance.

Where we place ourselves, determines the issues we will struggle with!

When little, our self assessed starting value is infinite. We re-assess our value later, by the feedback we get from others. If we are allowed to use our own identity and instincts to live, our assessed value stays really high. Our identity will guide us into coping and learning, with the wisdom of hard won instincts. We all start out self-motivated. If we are consistently stopped in our efforts, and forced to be obedient, our own identity has to be overcome to do it. The resultant trauma will set our evaluation of ourselves very low.

Which is another way of saying that the people around us, are going to determine what value we assign to ourselves.

We accept the impressions we get from those around us.

Nature has skills. Every life believes in themselves completely, assuming themselves to be the center of the universe.

People though, have gone from feeling like “king of the world”, to feeling like we are helpless, inadequate, troubled, and hurting!

Feeling this way, is why we hurt, and why we can can be so vicious to each other!

Where do you place yourself? Think about it. Now, try to remember how, and why you set that value.

We each possess the power to once again, feel like we are “god of the universe”. We certainly did feel that good at the start.

It needs to be understood, before we proceed, that the higher the value that we place on ourselves, the more admirable our behavior becomes!

This is easily confirmed by just looking around. Who is more destructive? Those of us who feel naturally important, or those who feel like useless outcasts? To make this determination, it is necessary to recognize that many who feel inadequate, choose to act superior, as it helps with their internal feelings. People who really feel powerful, don’t do this though. They love, are loved, mostly play, and just enjoy life.

To improve our sense of value, it is necessary to re-learn everything we ever accepted about our own value!

Unfortunately, this is incredibly difficult. Our own progress in life has set up many barriers, that must be dismantled, one by one.

As humans, our science is wonderful.

Just about everything that we accept about ourselves, other people, and how we fit in, is just wrong though.

Why? People can trust the wisdom of our instincts. They are our bible of the universe, and survival.

At the present though, we completely ignore this, the best wisdom that will ever be available to us.

We don’t listen to our instincts. Not unless we are alone.

When we listen to the crowd instead, the information we receive is inaccurate, and destructive. It is mostly fear based.

To fix anything, it is necessary to find the real cause, and make changes there. What we have been doing though, is to focus on one of the consequences, and try to improve that.

What then, is the real cause?

Our children need to feel adequate. They need approval to live from their own identity, just like every other life. They need to be allowed to feel like their own identity and instincts are important.

Children must be permitted, and encouraged to use their own identity and instincts to manage their own life. Nature already does this for all other life!

Those of us who never got that permission, have to choose to live as we already are now, hurting, and feeling somewhat unimportant, or strike out and try to recover, in an effort to feel really good. We really did feel that good once, as many remember.

There is no limit to how good we can feel.

We have to give it to each other though.

Otherwise, it is really difficult.

This might be the best, but most confusing karma ever!

We have to reconnect with everything we pushed aside because it felt bad. We require our completeness back. We need to drag these out, feel them, share them, accept them, and live them.
