Everything loyal and trusting in people comes from deep within them.
Why then, do we discourage everything coming from within our young?
Should we be overpowering their exciting and creative qualities by demanding compliance?
By taking over, we have outlawed trust, loyalty, enthusiasm, inner strength, morals, joy, imagination, play, friendship, and the wish to please others.
Look around! It’s all gone! Any remaining traces of these qualities are on the way out! Look at what we have done to our world!
What is happening?
All life is driven from within!
What happens when others interfere, don’t allow that to happen, and force us to obey instructions, instead of our own road map?
Does it make sense that we would lose touch with everything coming from within?
Having lost that inner connection, would we then grow up to be adults without inner connections?
Of course, it makes sense. It took us a while, but step by step, that’s what people have done!
Consequences!
People aren’t hostile by nature! People are loving, kind, supportive, sustainable, and playful.
But these wonderful qualities all come from within!
Now these qualities are gone from our lives! People are hostile now! We did that!
Can people become loving and kind again?
No. Not the way things are now!
We cannot follow the instructions of others, and still keep connection to our identities and inner systems!
Connections to our inner fun, instinctive wisdom, amazing inner strength, and joy are impossible in our present environment!
Life has been created to find its own way! It’s designed to be powered from within! Nurture is the art of supporting that drive. We don’t nurture anymore!
For love to reemerge, we would have to allow our young to grow up through their own drive and resources, as they have been designed to do!
As all other life does!
Can we do that?
We don’t seem to be able to! We seem to need to believe that we should interfere! We seem to have some need to control everything.
And then, right there, goes all the beauty! We get war and pain instead of trust and love!
Try it! Watch the difference. With kids young enough to still have firm connections to their inner needs and instincts, allow them to power their own development.
Waryness and defiance disappear, and the sun breaks out. They can’t do enough for you. Everything is fun and joy!
It’s because that’s how life is designed to work. All of nature does. That’s what life really is!
Human rights!
We talk about human rights! It’s no wonder we’re confused about these though.
We are taught from our earliest moments that we have no rights!
We aren’t even allowed to live from our own internal direction and guidance!
If allowed that, we would naturally be honorable, kind, supportive, cooperative, and fun! Our instincts guarantee it.
Proof?
Allow any human to be guided through the wisdom of their own instincts and needs, and what do you get?
A loving and awesome adult! Every time! One who understands rights as well. Also, one who isn’t crazy.
Qualities missing in our world now
Internal values! Instincts? Awareness of our own needs! Play! Natural kindness and loyalty! Trust and love!
Why?
Because internal values are no longer allowed expression!
We live from the demands of others!
No child ever wants to. They go down fighting to keep their inner lives.
Our world will keep getting more conflict, and less love as we continue to do this!
It’s all about how we treat our young!
Our only hope is to abandon current methods and systems!
We never should have done any of this! Every step along the way brought increasing conflict!
We need to allow other lives to be driven from within! Our children must be allowed to find their own way!
It fixes everything!
Hopefully, it’s not too late for mankind!
