Life comes from inside!
That’s how life works.
As long as this is accepted and allowed, everybody is just fine!
But, that’s just not allowed anymore!
All our problems begin when our lives aren’t allowed to come from within!
This has happened to most, if not all of us!
Nowadays, we get told how to act, and what to think.
Once this has happened to us, the way we see others has changed!
We see others through a haze of strong feelings.
We wanted to see them through our own energy.
But, we were made to see them as interfering with the freedom of living our own identity.
We no longer see them as they really are!
This is a handicap. We cannot react normally to people anymore.
We regard everybody through how we expect them to interfere with our own inner life!
Men can become helpless in the presence of women. Women can be terrified of men.
Many of us become terrified to speak up at all!
Boundaries
Some of us get tired of the way others send us through emotional roller coasters.
We seek therapy! We learn boundaries!
We impose limits on how much others are allowed to interfere with us!
What are we really doing?
We are setting our minds to no longer allow others to influence and alter our inner lives.
Blocking everybody is a little unfair because not everybody has the intention of interfering.
But, sorting it out while still hurting and vulnerable is impossible. Some of us just have to block everybody, until we gather some strength!
Health!
Health is never having had others interfere with our inner lives!
This doesn’t happen in these times. We all become victims to some degree.
We suffer from low self-esteem, which is really the loss of our inner power!
We cannot have inner strength while others are refusing to allow us to live from our inner drive!
Living from our own drive allows us to naturally be the best, most cooperative, responsible, and fun person we can ever be!
Conflict!
Conflict doesn’t exist for any of us, until someone interferes with our inner world!
People are not naturally hostile and aggressive. That only happens when someone overrides our inner life with their own theories!
By taking over the lives of our children, mankind has invented resentment, rebellion, hate, greed, war, and isolation for all of us!
Recovery!
Basically, recovery is regaining control over our own inner life!
Doing that reconnects us with our feelings, instincts, natural inner strength, and pure joy!
We cannot do that without moving back, and rejoining reality!
What is reality? It’s living from our own inner world.
With full control of our own inner lives, self-doubt doesn’t exist!
We all began life this way, living from our own reality.
Health, joy, and our own inner strength, all return when we move back into it!
Few, if any of us are living our own reality!
How do we move back?
We dump everything that has disorientated us!
It is very painful to discard the many values we have accepted as reality, over our own instincts, feelings, and perception.
Our instincts are the wisdom of the entire human existence. They will always be by far the strongest and most loyal source of our strength and wisdom.
To eliminate anxiety, all interference with our integrity has to go, as we settle back in to our real identity!
Currently, we all hold off reality on many fronts! Dropping each one is agony!
This is all tied up intimately with our health! Our best health comes from living from our own identity and inner life!
This is when we get our real lives back!
This is always our strongest and happiest condition.
This is therapy! We let go of living for the approval of others, and begin living from our own reality once again.
We regain our identity, complete with instincts, awareness, imagination, and awesome strength!
Finding our way back!
We live our own identity! This is a many step process. We reveal ourselves!
As we open up and show ourselves, we do it in layers. With every secret we reveal, we experience shame and fear, but we also discover that’s not entirely who we are just yet.
Every revelation though, takes us closer to our real nature!
With each step we feel stronger and better!
Astonishingly, each step also takes us closer to agreement with others.
When we get real close to living who we are, there is very little disagreement! We all end up on the same page!
That page is reality!
As we progress, we become less cold and prickly, and more warm and cuddly.
We no longer fear others! We no longer fear much at all!
For those wishing to stop overriding the inner world of others, we simply allow others, including infants and children, to power their own way without interference.
They are designed and equipped to manage that. It’s what they want most in life.
That allows them to stay real, and it will show. They will be wonderful!
Their gratitude will be incredible. Their progress too.
Conflict won’t exist. The conflict was always all about overriding and consequently destroying their power.
This will always result in the strongest, most cooperative, responsible, and moral adults.
That’s because this is who people really are, if left to be themselves! Life is designed to power itself, and it cannot do it any other way without damage!
All life is complete at conception! It doesn’t need help. It needs only room to grow, and a little protection to do it in!
When we interfere, it comes from our needs, not theirs!
Thanks for listening!

Good luck on your own journey.
