Loss of identity, on the other hand, through disconnection, causes feelings of being really unimportant, and then comes struggle and conflict!
Identity drives all life. It provides all the good stuff such as instincts, feelings, and awareness of our environment within ourselves, and out in the world.
Confidence is natural. Ever seen an infant doubt themselves?
People, these days, lose connection with their identity!
Sounds serious, and it is!
We then move to an all out effort, finding ways to once again be proud of ourselves.
All around the world, that’s what we do.
The state of the world suggests disconnection from identity is a global problem!
So what’s the cause?
As infants, we’re not allowed to live from our own drive, instincts, needs and personal interests.
We try, but others don’t let us. They tell us to do something else!
This is a case of use it, or lose it, though!
We don’t get the chance to use it! Not these days.
So we lose it!
That’s the cause! We don’t get to be ourselves. We don’t get to “drive our own bus”. Our efforts are disregarded, and considered unimportant.
We get to do as we are told, and that’s about it!
That shouldn’t happen. It doesn’t anywhere else in life on the planet.
Life in these times is a terrible consequence, for such a seemingly minor infraction in natural rights.
If we can’t be our identity, we lose connection with it! There goes our instincts, and our awareness of ourselves.
We don’t know what our needs are! We have of course, lost our confidence. We don’t fully know who we are anymore.
That alone is responsible for all this inner chaos, and conflict we live with. Also the world’s conflict, as the accumulated effects of so many, add up!
A serious and global issue, that we all share.
What to do?
Allow infants their natural right to power their own life, and out comes the sun!
It’s true, like it or not, we do have a natural right to be ourselves! Who could seriously argue with that?
Then we get to keep connection with who we are.
With our identity intact, there is no conflict!
We feel good. We are naturally fun loving, cooperative, and empathetic.
Life is good, as it was meant to be!
What about those of us, who already lost that connection?
How do we get it back?
Now, there’s a question!
It’s the most important question on the planet.
Solving that, in the fastest way possible for each of us, is our world’s most important need.
It gives us back natural happiness, and ends conflict. When we stop trying to be more important than the next guy, everything changes.
In the meantime, can we focus on allowing our infants and young their natural right to power their own progress?
If we can do that, the world can recover, as people without connection steadily become a minority.
Allowing others to live, and enjoy their identities causes immediate peace and cooperation everywhere. The younger, the more dramatic.
They all rise to their potential with glee! How long did it take them to walk and talk? Ability and progress are astonishing when full connection is allowed and encouraged! We can learn from Mother Nature, if willing to listen.
With respect and encouragement, progress is infinitely faster. Infants can do amazing things, with a green light. They are plugged in to the world on level the whole world needs.
People, including the very young are naturally cooperative, that is until they suffer any loss of identity. Then all bets are off. Conflict will be the new standard.
Thanks for listening.
Good luck on your own journey.
