If we have anxiety, it’s because our trust of others is gone!
The only way to fix this, is to regain that trust!
We are all born with absolute trust, and full inner power.
We need both.
The default beliefs of this generation damage inner power, which in turn destroys trust!
Civilization is in crisis, and rightly so!
We cannot damage inner power without this consequence! If we don’t learn to support inner power and consequently allow trust to exist, mankind is doomed!
We have more mental health experts than ever before, and they’re losing ground!
Let’s start with the destruction of trust! Children are responsible for their own growth!
If we are going to keep insisting on taking over this role, there is no hope! Life cannot work that way! Nowhere in nature does that happen. We are causing our own doom!
Our job is protection. Children’s job is survival.
If we can’t live with that natural balance, trust cannot exist. Inner power dies with the loss of trust. That’s what it is to be human!
With that out of the way, we can turn our attention to recovery!
We are all in anxiety. We shouldn’t be! We should be in complete comfort. That means trust!
How can we trust again?
There is a problem with this!
Our own defenses lock out any chance of natural healing!
We move ourselves into a “avoid all hurt” condition!
Unfortunately, with buried hurt, we cannot trust.
The only road back to trust includes the exposure of the hurts we already contain.
It seems that people cannot be completely trusting, while at the same time having unexpressed hurt inside!
It has to be shared!
That becomes a problem in a world where most if not all of us carry unexpressed hurt!
Unexpressed hurt changes our behavior. We hurt others, even though we don’t intend to!
It’s too dangerous to express hurt when we are in a situation of receiving more hurt!
We have to be in a safe place. We also have to believe it’s a safe place.
With inner hurt, we will be generating hurt in others! How can they manage that without retaliating?
That problem is quite a challenge for anybody wanting to help us.
They need to nullify the effects of our acting out, while at the same time listening to our inner pain!
Recovery requires all of these conditions.
A safe environment. Our belief that it’s safe. Our willingness to somehow express our inner hurt. Their lability to limit our behavior, and to listen at the same time!
It sure would be easier to not cause damage in the first place!
That means allowing others their own power! This is most critical in the earliest years, of course!
