Few, if any of us, get to live from our own power, drive, needs, feelings, or instincts!
All by itself, that can, and does, cause world-wide hostility!
Why Would That Happen?
We can’t feel our own need to live from our feelings.
Therefore, we don’t recognize the rights of others to do the same.
We can’t feel our own imperative to seek the comfort others provide for us, but only when we treat them gently.
We don’t feel the need to behave as we need to, in order to get the support and approval that we crave with every cell of our bodies!
When we can’t feel how much we need others, we behave poorly!
People have been trying to fix the world by encouraging love since the beginning of music!
Unfortunately, though, it’s not the absence of love that’s causing our trouble!
It’s our lack of feelings that makes getting along emotionally with others impossible, let alone living in sustainable love.
When we can’t live from the power of our own energy, we lose connection with all of it.
That happens because of the excessive hurt we suffer because of that catastrophic loss!
Damage To Relationships
Everything loving, natural, honest, honorable, kind, and responsible, comes from within!
Everything good and wonderful in people comes from the inside!
We no longer encourage inner expression from our young!
We insist they accept all that we tell them.
Everything special about people comes from within!
People are the most loving creatures on the planet!
But, that all comes from within!
Sadly, we don’t allow anything from within to matter now!
Not anymore!
We start with our infants.
We don’t nurture them as other creatures do!
We don’t support their inner strength, their power, or their inner drive!
We don’t support them in their own abilities or their struggle to develop.
We overpower them, and insist they do everything our way!
We Have Outlawed The Expression Of Everybody’s Inner Lives!
Everything spontaneous, honest, joyful, loving, and responsible, all come from within!
But, we don’t allow anything to come from within!
We have deprived our world of everything loving in this way!
Are these consequences beginning to make sense to you?
Yes, it really is that simple!
It’s as predictable as any mathematical equation!
Any one of us, if we could feel our instincts, our feelings, and our needs would immediately change our behavior!
Why?
Because we suddenly understand what we need most!
How Do We Make Our World Better?
Allow our children to power their own lives! Support and encourage that!
We get love! Unlimited love! They can’t do enough for us, even at their own peril.
Listen to your instincts.
They’ve been telling you to support their efforts from the moment you got the responsibility of taking care of children.
If you were alone in the woods, that’s what you would do!
You would hear your instincts!
Well, listen to them now!
The result will invariably be strong, loving people!
They will be absolutely on your side!
And healthy! Just think about how being without internal power and guidance would affect the health of any life.
The health of us all has deteriorated right along with our loss of inner connection!
All that infants and kids crave, above all else, is the chance to grow through their own power and efforts, just as all other life does!
It’s how life is designed to work!
Life is always independent!
It needs approval and support, not redirection!
Back off, let self-drive happen, and enjoy a world as it should be!
All those inner qualities, connected and expressed bring out the wonder and love of our world!
We have forced all of this into hiding!
Behind a wall of our making!
Set them free!
Enjoy the best companionship the world has ever seen!
At the moment, we all hold back everything most important.
We hide our secrets!
Does this feel normal to you?
It’s not normal to experience feelings that we must not express!
We should all be living out loud!
By censoring our young, we have censored our own lives!
Thanks for listening.
Good luck on your own journey!
