A world without chains!
No rules for others! No rules for us!
I doubt there is a person on the planet who can think about this, without a powerful reaction!
Just imagine! Each of us began life this way though.
All other life lives this way, always.
People are the only life that cannot “live out loud”. Everythings a secret!
Why does absolute freedom frighten us?
And there it is!!
Our prison!
We all have issues we will struggle with for life!
Is that normal? Is there a trigger?
Consider a question. Which is more frightening?
To allow allow others complete freedom to act however they please?
Or to be allowed to act however we please, without restriction?
Both ideas are frightening! They shouldn’t be!
Either way, there is a surprise.
With a natural pristine entrance into life, we are comfortable with both!
But, right now, none of us gets a natural pristine entrance into life.
That being said, there is an even bigger epiphany to announce!
We are all at our absolute best with no chains, no control, complete freedom, and no guilt!
That’s infinite self-esteem for us. It’s also when we treat ourselves, the environment and others the very best!
It’s all downhill from here!
That’s because “self-driven” is our natural condition.
We are each the end product of a whole lot of selective development.
If there is any life form qualified to live without restriction, it should be us!
But wow!! We are the only life on the planet with restrictions!
Is it possible to live without these chains?
We can’t even imagine what that would be like, or even that it could work!
We have all been in prison.
Do we remember how they teach elephants to stay? They tie a rope to one foot when the elephant is little. When the elephant gets big, a cord will do. The elephant doesn’t know it can go!
That’s us!
Life outside, is beyond our imagination now!
We can no more think rationally about this, than we can about the end of the universe, and what’s after that, and again after that, and does it stop there? Well then, what’s after that?
There is no solution that fits.
It just is!
As an infant we were fine with that.
Now we need reassurance. We need guidelines. We need a map!
The astonishing reality though, is it’s being in this prison, that has caused all the trouble!!
Mankind has unthinkingly created our own special gateway.
A doorway that changes us!
We have invented “tunnel vision”.
It didn’t make us better! Is that not obvious? Is there a more destructive life on the planet?
Perhaps there is a better question. Is there any other life form on the planet that is intentionally destructive. Or even destructive, when all things are considered?
What has it done to the quality of each of our lives?
We really need to leave this prison!
There isn’t an issue, or a problem in our entire civilization that won’t be turned on it’s head! Even mankind’s biggest problem, overpopulation, is almost certainly a consequence of identity loss!
Well, there is a trigger.
The proof is the change that happens when we remove it!
The gateway? That’s each of us breaking connection with our identity. Our identity is supposed to drive life!
Freedom allows each of us to live from our own identity.
But we aren’t allowing freedom at the one time when the need is most critical!
Which causes each of us to divorce our identity!
Thereby creating this world, and our own misery!
That bottleneck, that gateway happens in infancy!
We don’t allow life to live out loud.
Every life has needs. Identity is supposed to drive life to satisfy them!
When we don’t allow that to happen in our infants, we unknowingly cause internal conflict.
After a lot of conflict the child simply gives up!
Their identity is no longer in the picture.
And there it is! The entire cause of mankind’s misery.
Don’t believe it? Allow your infant to power it’s own development.
Let it be the boss of it’s own life and needs.
Nature guarantees that you will believe it after that!
