life comes from within!
To remain healthy, it has to!
Interfere with that, and we lose trust.
Keep interfering, and we force other people to leave, no matter how much they loved us!
People, at the moment, see life wrong!
We get the worst from other people when we force them to behave!
We get the best only when it comes from their hearts.
Allow them to be self-driven, and we enter an entirely different world.
A kind one! The real one!
All life is driven from within! Even the creation of bodies comes from an inside force!
We lose all of that if we drive that force underground with demands!
Expression of instincts, feelings, needs, and identities, stops.
If loved ones feel their own loss of expression, they must leave us, and they do!
DISCIPLINE DESTROYS COOPERATION!
Do we want the best from others?
Do we want them eager to please us?
Then support and encourage their energy!
THEY WILL LOVE US TO DEATH, AND THAT NEVER NEEDS TO END!
They will do everything in their power to please us!
Most of us will be astonished when it brings out their very best!
Why their best?
Because, they get to live from their own instincts, feelings, and needs.
What are their needs?
When we allow them to live from their own hearts, their first need will be to keep us close!
MANKIND’S JOURNEY INTO HATE!
As we force people to behave, we reduce everybody’s expression of their inner lives!
We have come so far along this road, that we have pretty much eliminated the loving inner expression from our entire population!
Sadly, that’s where all our most wonderful human qualities came from!
In these times, we have removed the expression of love, acceptance, compassion, and empathy from just about our entire population!
Everything good comes from inside us!
Through peer pressure, we have abolished most of that!
Ironically, any of us, on our own, without pressure from other people, would bring up our children by encouraging and supporting them in their own abilities!
BUT, WE LIVE IN A PEER-PRESSURE WORLD!
To live from our own instincts and feelings now, we must stand alone, defying our entire civilization.
That takes more strength than any child has!
Meanwhile, everything valuable in us, and in everybody else, gets driven underground!
That’s why we have an epidemic of low self-esteem.
That’s why we all suffer from inner hurt that we can’t seem to identify!
It’s why our world is hostile instead of accepting!
WE HAVE DEVELOPED ASTONISHING TECHNOLOGY!
MEANWHILE, WE KNOW PRACTICALLY NOTHING ABOUT THE TRUE NEEDS OF PEOPLE!
We cause our own pain!
We have invented graffiti, defiance, hate, and stupidity!
Mankind’s wisdom used to come from within, through instincts!
Do you see much wisdom anymore?
THE PROMOTION OF INNER POWER!
Ironically, in one bold move, encouraging the inner strength of others fixes everything!
Families become conflict-free, loving, and wise!
Each member carries power we have forgotten is possible!
Self-doubt doesn’t happen. Fear doesn’t exist, except in crisis, and even that happens without terror.
We live in an epidemic of troubled people hurting and trying to be important. We drink, use chemicals, and adopt belief systems to relieve our inner pain!
Is that normal?
No!
People are the most loving creatures on the planet when living from inside!
We don’t have to live as we do now!
We have so much potential.
We should be supporting each other, playing, loving, and taking care of our world.
That’s our natural condition!
Deep down, that’s who each of us really is,!
IF WE SUPPORT OTHERS, CAN WE FEEL GOOD AGAIN?
Ironically, it’s up to us!
What makes us feel great?
It’s not being important! That doesn’t work. While it feels like it will, it doesn’t!
It’s not money! The same thing happens!
Feeling proud of ourselves is what makes us feel good!
This is endless!
What makes us feel proud of ourselves?
Our behavior!
When we behave as we were intended to, with concern and compassion, understanding and honesty, we feel good, really good!
In natural life, we have our instincts, feelings, and needs to guide us into behavior that makes us feel proud!
Lacking connection with these inner forces we have no guidence!
But, that doesn’t matter!
We still feel good about ourselves when we behave true to our feelings, instincts, and needs!
The fact that we can’t feel that guidance doesn’t matter!
When we behave according to those values, we feel proud anyway!
In other words, live from our hearts!
That’s how we become proud of ourselves! We behave as loving humans should!
Then, we feel good! Really good! We feel strong! We feel right!
Test it out! See for yourselves!
The rest of our recovery is relearning how to live out loud!
With our behavior already healthy though, this task has become far easier. We aren’t fighting with ourselves!
Thanks for listening.
Good luck on your own journey.
