Let us keep the power we were born with!
We need it. It makes us go!
Nature provided it for a reason!
There are going to be consequences if we take that away.
Well, we do take that away, and boy, did we get consequences!
It really is straightforward.
All life starts out with the power to survive in our environment!
People too!
All life is designed to be successful, under it’s own steam! People too!
No life wants to be taken care of! People especially!
Life wants it’s own choices, and that magnificent feeling that it’s own power gives it.
This puts it at it’s very best, always.
Being subservient causes trauma. The power of everybody’s own identity needs to be overcome before that is possible.
That power is not likely to ever recover. The spirit will be broken.
Do you suppose it might damage that life? Do you suppose that life might be traumatized?
Is it possible that without natural power, any life might feel so helpless that it becomes defensive, isolated, and begins attacking other life around it?
Well, of course that happens.
Our children need their own power as well, to carry them through life. Sadly, we haven’t been aware of that!
It makes sense, doesn’t it? We can imagine that happening.
How do we test the truth of that actually being true?
That’s ridiculously easy to check!
Allow infants and kids to keep their own power! Encourage it!
Watch what happens!
An astonishing thing happens, and it happens every time!
Cooperation happens. They love us and will do anything we ask. Anything fair of course.
Asking them to abandon their identity is not fair. They can’t do it.
They might be willing to die for us, but they cannot change their identity to please us. All they can do is hide what we don’t like!
They shouldn’t have to hide those thing that are real about them, but we don’t want.
They are independent life! They have a right to be themselves!
Does doing that sound right to you?
To ask, is not to control them. To demand, of course, is.
Peace breaks out when we allow them to be completely who they are. The only thing they can successfully be!
It happens every time. Cooperation, trust, and love.
Folks, it really is that easy!
This alone is all that has gone wrong with this entire civilization!
Our overbearing need to overcontrol lives that already have everything they need to cope on their own, has caused all this fighting.
Hand their lives back to them, and every bit of conflict immediately disappears, just like it never was.
Our assumption that we are helping is very wrong.
All beginning life only asks for safety till it’s strong. It does not want to be taken care of! That’s our need, not theirs!
We aren’t even helping ourselves. We are making our own lives a battleground instead of enjoying a loving community.
That’s what people do right now!
Why do we do that?
Why do we live with such a desperate need to control other people and thus create such chaos?
Well, if we can just get hold of that destructive need of ours, and stop our own overcontrol, Utopia waits just around that corner.
Thanks for listening.
Good luck on your own journey,
Take care,
Norm.
