Feelings are our natural language!
Life is driven from the inside!
This is true for all life.
Mess with that natural condition, and we quickly find ourselves knee-deep in trouble.
Sadly, we have arrived here!
Us people begin life with a firm identity. Our awareness of our own needs makes us lovely!
We all need others desperately.
As long as we’re aware of this, we remain loving and unselfish!
It’s only when we become forced to let go of our own inner life, and live by the rules of others, that we lose that critical connection with our identities, instincts and needs.
Once that happens, watch out. This person no longer has natural morals!
At the moment we are blocking the inner drive of our young. They grow up lost and hurting. They lose connection to everything good and loving within them!
As we cause our young to live by our rules, we have unknowingly removed their connection with their own identities, needs and instincts.
Yes, we have done this! Our children no longer have instinctive love or morality. That all comes from inside, and at present, we don’t allow them that path!
The drive of our inner worlds!
A loving world remains just as possible as it ever was!
Unfortunately, we are pushing that miracle underground!
That’s all that has changed!
This is what has happened to our world!
People are the most loving creatures on the planet!
Sadly, we have removed that possibly!
Love and responsibility come from within. We have to allow the power and drive of our children to do that!
This can be tested! Allow inner expression of any child. The younger, the more dramatic and immediate their recovery back into love and cooperation.
People are full of love! We must allow personal expression!
With that missing, our world has turned from love and cooperation to hate and violence!
We have banned feelings!
Tragically, todays parenting methods ban the inner worlds of our young.
We no longer encourage or even allow children to manage life through the efforts of “who they are”!
They were complete and fixed at conception, needing only time to develop themselves.
We see them as interchangeable vessels instead though, to be filled with knowledge.
We tell them how to be!
Our Inner Joy!
Everything loving, joyful, trustworthy, and good in people, comes from deep within!
By banning our children’s inner lives, we have left them with resentment. Our world is now composed of people with inner resentment, and because of it, defiance!
Can we stop our destruction of the wonder in every human?
Can we allow our young to live from their own energy?
We do this by stopping our control of them, as well as our control over others!
Ironically, this releases the good in people, along with love and peace.
We may expect chaos, but what we get is cooperation!
ANARCHY
If we don’t control our kids, won’t they turn into all the things that we fear?
No!
That’s just not what happens.
It’s our insistence on control that is causing the bad behavior that we get! This has always been the case!
When we stop our control, we get real people. Undamaged people are lovely! Inner worlds get expression. These are all about love and responsibility!
That love and responsibility is what we have removed from our population, and that’s why our world has turned so dark!
Granted, when we remove our control from those already suffering from inner pain, we don’t get immediate love and responsibility.
Recovery takes time, and there will be trauma!
Our Impact On Others
It’s only our control causing all the hate and violence!
Furthermore, as things get worse, our go-to response is to try and fix it with more control!
The loudest of us have been stubbornly wrong about this for just about forever!
They are responsible for steadily moving our world into corruption, hate, and fighting!
People Are Naturally Loving!
People haven’t changed!
It’s only our methods that have changed.
Look around! Where do you see the most hate?
Wherever there is the most control, that’s where the hate is! It’s always been the same, and it’s always been just as obvious!
Where do we see love? Wherever there is no control, that’s where!
Why?
Because everything good about people comes from deep within!
All we have to do is let it!
Doing so is called nurturing!
Our Assumptions
How do we keep order?
Well, we don’t have to, and we never did!
All we have to do is to stop stamping out all the good in people!
Our assumptions have been wrong, horribly, horribly wrong!
The direction of our civilization clearly shows that!
Less control always allows love and comfort.
More control always causes the end of intimacy, hurt, resentment, anger, and then violence!
Mankind’s search for feeling right!
If only there was one!
Wouldn’t it be nice if we actually did make a serious effort to learn something about this!
With all our intelligence and science, we have ignored the most critical part of life. Our own well-being!
We have abandoned our instincts and can’t feel our needs. We don’t feel naturally powerful any more either.
All it takes to turn all this around is to allow the existance of the inner life that we all have.
Support the inner world of people, and the sun comes out!
This is what all therapy is attempting to do, but in a world that has forgotten that need.
Save the planet!
Do we want sustainable living that doesn’t exhaust our resources or damage the beauty of the planet?
This is the answer!
Why?
Because living from our inner worlds, we are intimately aware of how much we need others.
Our own acceptance depends on accommoding their needs and wishes.
That’s real life. The result is a loving world!
Everything good comes from deep inside us, and it gets expressed through feelings.
Wherever this is kept intact, we are a lovely race!
Recovery!
Each of us can still get our inner worlds back!
It’s not easy.
It means accepting all the hurts we have ever suffered, instead of holding them at bay.
It means many, many good cries.
Gradually though, we get to feel powerful again, to be able to feel our own needs, and to be guided by our own instincts.
Fun happens! Life has its own meaning. Other people become friends again.
All our need to conceal anything about ourselves is gone!
We can live out loud again, for the first time since our infancy!
It’s all good!
Thanks for listening.
Good luck on your own journey.
