We cannot create responsibility, or friendships by overpowering everybody’s instincts.
We now suffer from lack of trust!
We keep more secrets.
It’s no longer safe to share our real feelings.
We live isolated from each other.
That’s easy to see, and easy to say, but what has happened to our ability to trust?
DO WE ACCEPT OTHERS?
Life comes from inside.
Everything good in people comes from deep within!
Do we listen? Do we welcome what comes from within?
Or do we set our own limits on others, based on our expectations and rules?
SETTING LIMITS FOR OTHERS
If we are setting limits, we are probably wrong.
Understanding what we are willing to accept is likely beyond our conscious understanding.
Somebody will come along and steal our hearts, but have the qualities we thought we would never accept.
Life comes from within!
What also comes from within?
What we are willing to live with!
Setting rules always blocks trust!
Live with this idea for a while, and you will find yourself gradually understanding how that happens!
LIVING BY EAR
Everything good comes from within!
We need to be listening!
That’s where all the best answers are.
Our instincts carry the wisdom of all humanity.
Why not listen?
EXPRESSION FROM THE HEART
Listening not only brings out the best in others, it removes every limitation on trust.
This is how young children in playgrounds relate.
They can be instant lifelong friends!
Can we?
THE LOSS OF EVERYTHING GOOD!
We are making everything good in life impossible.
We are also making anger, hostility, and conflict inevitable!
How do we do that?
Our wisdom lies deep within!
But, we tell everybody what to do!
Nothing gets to come from deep inside!
We have also caused freedom to feel wrong!
Our infants don’t get the freedom to express their inner lives. There is no way they can trust free will after that!
They have no way of knowing that it works.
They don’t know that everything good comes from allowing others their own freedom to be their loving real selves!
WE HAVE BANNED EVERYTHING GOOD IN MANKIND!
We start right away with our infants! As soon as they learn language!
It is no coincidence that as we go down our road of increased control over everybody, the more troubled we all get!
The less humanity, cooperation, and love we have in our population!
We all seem determined to believe what the powerful tell us, rather than our own instincts!
We then race headlong the wrong way!
We get less comfort, humanity, and natural responsibility.
We get rebellion and fighting instead!
OUR LEADERS
The best of us have no interest in being king of the world!
The kindest live from their own needs, feelings, and instincts!
They are all about compassion, love, and natural responsibility.
If we can’t feel our own instincts, these are the people to listen to.
If we can feel our instincts though, we are already one of them!
Thanks for listening.
Good luck on your own journey.
