Clarity of Innocence

Nobody wants to live in a country where they have no rights.

Everybody wants to escape. They want to go find freedom.

Unknowingly, they bring the problem with them.

There is a karma of life, where is difficult to fully understand why it always works. We cannot take over other lives, and still remain free.

It changes our own dynamics. Our internal attitude seems to learn to accept control as normal. Now it works on us!

Any undamaged person will never choose to take over another life. It’s just not in them.

Control of other lives doesn’t exist in nature.

The short answer is, when we believe it’s ok for us to control the life of another living thing, we have set ourselves up to be controlled, and it’s going to happen.

The rest of nature doesn’t use control. What we sometimes see in nature is cooperation and voluntary compliance. When we see symbiotic relationships, cooperation is intentional.

Why does control over other lives always cause chaos?

The spark of all life comes from inside. Life powers itself from within!

That is true for all life, throughout the planet.

It has to be that way for that life to be healthy. It’s what life is!

To take control of the behavior of another life, we have to challenge their own inner drive. That can’t be dome without damaging them. This includes children!

Therefore, to insist on obedience, is to damage that life.

To keep its power, life just has to be powered from its own identity!

To do it anyway, is to consider damage to life to be normal.

That changes us. We have no chance of being a part of nature.

We have no chance of believing in freedom with our full hearts.

Why such catastrophic consequences?

We have stopped allowing the driving force of our children’s lives to come from inside them.

This has happened gradually.

Unknown to us, obedience was not possible for any child, until they challenged, and defeated their own self drive first.

As parents and caregivers, we have gradually drifted into never allowing our young the freedom to survive on their own terms.

Consequently, they live without any natural power! Life always begins with its own power, and it needs it!

We control every part of our children’s lives. We don’t leave room for their own identity to power their life in any way.

This form of parenting has become so prevalent, it’s considered normal.

As we progressively removed more and more of our young’s ability to power their own existence, we have watched conflict and disrespect throughout the world increase in exactly the same proportion.

We see the damage, but not the connection.

It’s not normal. It’s led by the most damaged of us.

“Normal” still lives in everybody’s hearts. It’s hard to feel it, because we are “hurt blind”. Nevertheless, it’s the road back to loving human existence.

This one seemingly innocent act of refusing our young the rights to their own life, has created conflict throughout our planet.

There aren’t many places left in the world where children are allowed to grow through their own power, challenging life with their own identity and inner drive.

When that happens though, tyranny doesn’t exist!

Does that sound like karma to you? When we demand that everything be our own way, and then we wind up becoming enslaved? It sure sounds like karma to me!

The act of controlling others, is the root of tyranny!

That really shouldn’t be a surprise, should it?

If we leave our homeland, striking out to find freedom, but we still demand obedience from our young, we have brought the problem with us.

Our obedient children will grow up, and try to make an obedient society.

That’s what we were trying to escape from.

The control worshipers like to insist the world will fall apart without lots of enforced rules.

The opposite is the truth.

No control at all permits love, and cooperation.

This is so very easy to demonstrate, that it’s not even a reasonable objection. The moment we remove the straight-jacket, everybody becomes nice.

As caregivers, we are entrusted with the protection and well being of our offspring.

That is an awesome responsibility. We are given an infant who loves us to death, and trusts us to the ends of the earth.

It is our job to protect them, and bring them up to be happy and strong.

We are failing in a truly astonishing fashion.

We aren’t doing just an average job. We are making a monumentally poor job of it. A truly catastrophic failure.

We don’t see it happening. That’s because we are “hurt blind”.

We have felt so much hurt ourselves, we learned to block the feeling, and now we don’t recognize it anywhere.

We can be cruel now, where we couldn’t before. We have become damaged by excessive hurt.

We take away any possibility of our young being happy, or strong. We bring them up to be, in their turn, another hated and distrusted authority figure.

We cause them to believe that controlling other lives is normal.

All by itself, that turns life from the normal loving human existence into distrust, anger, and conflict.

We all still have our real original identity. It is something to be very proud of.

To be obedient, we had to disconnect from it. That really hurt. It’s still there though. It’s behind the hurt.

It’s our beauty and our power.

Making choices that would please our real and original identity is rare. We have to guess, because we can no longer feel it.

Therefore we no longer live through our hearts, or our instincts.

We are no longer glouriously alive!

That hurting person makes restrictive choices for themselves, because that has become their comfort zone!

Imagination and feelings get left behind in the presence of hurt. They still exist, but only in the world of our original identity.

That’s our reason for our excessive control over the lives of our children. We are not acting through our hearts. We are not in nature’s world. We are in a damaged condition. We don’t even recognize it when we damage their spirit.

All the time, even while we made them behave, our children were already willing to do absolutely anything for us.

The only thing they won’t do is surrender their own identity, and rightly so.

That’s why there is so much resentment when they are no longer allowed to live through their own inner drive.

We never knew the truma we were putting them through. We insisted they abandon their own identity, and follow our directions.

Well, that’s not what life is! It has to damage itself to comply!

We overprotect them, denying them the opportunity to learn, and to develop reflexes. We refuse to allow them to power their own life.

Somehow, we expect this to work!

This experiment of mankind’s, into expectations of obedience is a path of destruction of their spirit.

We are not at the end. Inflicting hurt, and denying feelings takes us to only one place. Hurt, None of us can survive that place in good health.

Some symptoms? Discouragment! Withdrawal! Lack of cooperation! Lack of energy! Fear! Hate! Resentment! Hostility! Discrimination!

We have already left the “normal” for people behind, and entered a world of conflict.

We see the occasional glimpses of how bad things can really become. It’s not so occasional any more either!

Surprisingly, the cause of all of this comes from us as we force obedience on our young!

Proof? Stop doing it, and all this goes away!

Nobody knows where we are going if we don’t turn this thing around, but indications suggest we could easily annihilate ourselves!

As long as we stubbornly believe in control of others, which in reality is setting ourselves up as the surpreme judge of everything, we drive everybody down that road.

We all understand, every parent is trying to do the right thing.

We simply lack the information, and the natural connections to our own feelings, to do this job the way it needs to be done.

Our instincts know though!

Anybody capable of still hearing their own hearts will do it right. Unfortunately, at the moment, they have to defy most of society, before they are allowed to do it!

We are being convinced by the most damaged people, to cause damage, instead of causing love and kindness.

The real answers are in our hearts.

Our real, original identity, still has human truth.

Bringing our children up through that vision returns us to emotional health throughout our families, and hopefully with enough participation, the world.
