I expect every one of us wants to be carried into a warm cloud of comfort, satisfaction, and happiness.
What can put us there?
Our goals will not!
Just about all of us are very much wrong about what can do that!
Not understanding life, we pursue inappropriate goals, making ourselves and others anxious and unhappy!
Why don’t we understand?
Because our humanity comes from the inside.
But, none of us get to live from that humanity.
We get told what to do instead.
Then, we lack input from our feelings, needs and instincts!
If we could only feel these, we would immediately change our goals.
With that wisdom, it would work! Our new goals would take us there!
We could each create our own warm cloud of comfort, satisfaction, and happiness.
It’s always the same things that allow our happiness. We just can’t feel what these things are.
Those people that we see as successful seldom look happy. Well, they aren’t!
They may be on top of the social mountain. They may try to put on a good show.
But, their lives are just as troubled as ours are! In many cases, more.
Who actually looks truly happy?
Only those with loving relationships do!
LIFE IS VERY MUCH DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE ASSUME!
People are naturally loving and responsible, but that’s only if we are allowed to live from within.
When allowed to live from within, we naturally feel how to make ourselves happy.
Our behavior then becomes far different from what we see around us!
Feeling our own need for support and approval, we would immediately treat others far, far differently!
We would never take a chance with approval from those we love! Their encouragement is everything to us!
Feeling that directly is a whole lot different than assuming it might be true!
Then we get their support and approval, and we feel good, really good!
That’s who we all really are! It’s a good thing!
FORCING OTHERS TO BEHAVE AS WE CHOOSE
The more we force behavior of our choice on other people, the worst behavior we will receive from them.
Looking around, we can see that!
But why?
Because reality isn’t what we think it is!
Forcing others to behave as we wish will never make us happy!
It makes us anxious and miserable. It brings out the worst in them as well!
What brings out the best?
Allowing them to live from their own instincts, needs, and feelings!
What we all believe because of influencers and the media has been wrong for a long time!
The reality? The truth?
Everything good about humanity only comes from deep within them!
It doesn’t come from our guidance, wishes, or instructions! It doesn’t come from the law!
It comes from our needs, instincts, and feelings!
Whenever we accept others as they choose to present themselves, right from the beginning, then we get their very best behavior.
When we choose to really look within ourselves, and at others around us, accepting only truth, this does become clear and obvious!
Allowed to live from our instincts, our needs, and our feelings, we’re all infinitely compassionate. Strong and healthy too.
In this far more real instinctive world, other people are more important to us than even our own lives!
Our natural condition is a sort of a shared consciousness!
As humans, our lives are meant to feel safe and comfortable. We are suppose to be feeling loved and accepted.
Step by step though, we have come to believe in pressuring others to behave to our choosing.
It has cost us our loving and comfortable world, living in the warm glow of universal support, and for the only time, love as it really can be!
Instead, our world is threatening, unfeeling, and dangerous! We all hurt.
That’s only because we no longer get to live naturally from within!
Our lives have narrowed down to only our reactions to the pressure from others!
This is true for each of us now. Right from the very beginnings of our lives!
We have made human life intolerable!
THIS IS REALITY!
What we all believe is not reality!
All life naturally lives from inside!
Bossing each other around is a horrible blunder!
It’s probably going to end human civilization!
HOW TO BEGIN?
Living from the wisdom within us has to start at the beginning of life.
Our infants need to power their own success!
We need to support and encourage them!
They will explode with energy and cooperation!
With that encouragement, they will far excell what we see now! It always works!
They will be loving, cooperative, capable, and healthy, far, far beyond life today!
This is how all life works! It supports competence!
The power and drive has to come from inside!
Instincts, needs, and feelings carry infinitely more wisdom than what we are telling our children now!
Try it! It works! Of course it does!
It’s how all life works!
We can’t make life work as we wish, as we ignore reality!
Our worls is suffering the results of trying to do that right now!
Hostility, hate, greed, and anger is not natural!
We have created it.
How?
By not allowing live to be lived from within!
It’s designed and powered to be driven from within!
Everything good comes from within!
That’s the only place loving and responsible qualities are available!
These are instinctive, enforced through feelings and needs.
What is therapy?
It’s trying to reconnect with our inner selves. Learning to live as we really are! This makes us kinder and happier.
Does that suggest anything to you?
Thanks for listening.
