People are the most loving creatures on earth.
We can’t do enough for each other, even at our own peril!
That’s who we are! Every one of us!
But, that’s not what we are seeing now, is it?
Why?
It’s our needs and instincts that cause us to be loving and responsible!
How many of us can feel our needs and instincts?
Nobody?
Well, that’s why!
If we can’t feel our own need for acceptance, and consequently our need to please others, then we can’t be aware of it’s importance to our own happiness.
Why can’t we feel them nowadays?
Because we are no longer allowing people to be who they really are!
Feelings, instincts, and needs, are still there within us, but isolated, and without expression.
That’s why people aren’t kind and loving now!
We have banned inner life from expressing itself!
Unfortunately, though, that’s where all the good stuff came from!
Sounds too easy, doesn’t it?
There’s proof!
The proof is reality!
Try something. Allow your early young to live from their own self-drive!
Encourage it.
Support it!
Watch what happens!
Why the difference?
Life is created and designed to live from it’s own energy!
It has to!
It’s inner power is designed to do that!
It uses instinctive wisdom as guidance!
There is a name for supporting that inner drive. We call it nurture.
Unfortunately, forcing any life to to try to live any other way deprives it of the connection with it’s own drive, instincts, needs, feelings, and purpose!
OUR ANCHOR
When not driven from within, life has to manage itself with only thought and intelligence!
It’s adrift, and without guidance of any kind!
Well, what about the guidance of others?
Unfortunately, advice doesn’t help.
Not at all. It’s only words.
We live from feelings! That’s the basic language of all life.
Life’s anchor is always it’s own inner needs, instincts, and feelings. It always will be!
All by itself, the expression of our inner life is the most important quality in any life!
The difference between supporting each other, and fighting to dominate each other is trust.
Trust only happens when people live from the drive of their inner systems!
When we can feel our own needs, we are intimately connected with our own need to please others.
That’s because we feel how powerful our own need for acceptance really is.
We all crave acceptance with every cell of our bodies.
When we have that, we are happy. If we don’t, we cannot be happy. All the wealth in the world makes no difference!
It’s only when we can feel our inner life that we are aware of how powerful our need for acceptance is!
To be continued!
Thanks for listening.
Good luck on your own journey.
