Clarity of Innocence

The world we live in can be warm and loving, or it can be hostile, competitive, and dangerous.

It’s our accepted beliefs that set up either condition.

How?

People are loving.

We will be, every time, if allowed to live from the power of our own hearts!

If we weren’t allowed, though, we often won’t even recognize what sex we are.

We also won’t have the inner strength required to stand alone and be an honorable person.

We won’t know what we want either. That comes from inside.

The only people who still have that kind of inner strength have been lucky. They were encouraged and supported in being themselves, right from the beginning of their lives.

Everything wonderful about people comes from inside us.

Living from our own hearts only happens, though, when we escape from this high-pressure environment and its peer pressure.

Sadly, when following other people’s directions, we cannot maintain good connection with our own inner lives. We become forced to choose between our own instincts, feelings, and needs, or surrender these and become obedient.

For myself, I chose my own inner values. The resultant fighting, though, crippled all the strength I started out with.

Our instincts, needs, and feelings will always provide us with honorable lives, well worth living. From these, with good connections, we live in harmony with each other and our environment.

Mankind seems to be helpless in recognizing its own needs, as well as the real needs of others.

Everybody yearns for the good days. Companionship and compassion. Acceptance and support.

These qualities are gone. What has caused this change?

We no longer live from our own inner wisdom!

Why?

IT STARTS EARLY IN LIFE

Our children can be helpful, or they can become defiant and hostile.

We can look at other people’s children and see both conditions.

WHAT CAUSES THE DIFFERENCE?

Life comes from within. All life. That’s the real nature of life!

It arrives already equipped to survive through its own efforts.

It insists on that. It’s what life is. It’s self-driven.

That must be allowed, or there will be damage, and then trouble!

The more we prevent our young from driving their own lives, the more hostile and abusive our world becomes!

That’s what we are doing right now. And so, here we are.

The more we support and encourage life from within, the more loving our world once again becomes.

It really is just that easy.

Just look around with an open mind!

WHAT DO WE DO WRONG?

Our goals are all about making the world a better place through more discipline and rules.

The results are obvious.

Wherever we overpower the lovely inner qualities of life, the more hostility and fear we all live with.

CHILDREN

Children are helpful and loving.

They will grow up to be loving and supportive adults.

They are always this way, as long as their environment doesn’t damage them.

Their real needs are the same as the needs of all life. They must live from their own feelings and energy.

When they can’t, damage happens. They won’t be the same anymore!

Treat them as life needs to be treated, and they are gentle and loving, every single time!

Treat them as empty vessels to be filled with our wisdom, and they will become defiant and hostile.

Every time!

Their own instincts, feelings, and needs are infinitely wiser than any guidance we could provide.

Our guidance will only be destructive, if it’s not coming from our own instincts, feelings, and needs. If it is, we will have the wisdom to not use force.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

All life starts out with a full measure of wisdom, inner power, and strength. We call it self esteem.

It includes instincts, needs, and feelings.

For humans, these provide each of our lives with more wisdom and love than we could ever imagine.

Support this, and we get a loving and confident adult. Every time.

All the good stuff comes from inside!

That’s what is missing from our world right now.

We no longer support anything coming from inside.

We insist on obedience.

We are making hollow people in this way. They act like hollow people.

Sure, they need discipline. But, only because they no longer possess any goodness coming from within, in their own natural way.

That’s why.

Our world has become hostile and deceitful. We have collectively done this to ourselves.

This basic truth can be tested at any time, in any way. It always proves true.

It’s a universal truth. Life comes from the inside.

Support that, and enjoy love and harmony.

As soon as we leave peer pressure behind, living in a more isolated environment, we naturally revert to treating our kids in this healthy, supportive way.

The problem is the peer pressure, along with its complete lack of wisdom.

Our instincts always try to guide us into treating our kids as real living things. This just happens. Unfortunately, peer pressure is overpowering the inherent instinctual wisdom we all possess.

This balance of obedience versus self-drive is always true. It’s clear and obvious. Why do so many of us never see this? Most of us have no idea that instinctual wisdom even exists!

WAR

Yes, it’s true. War is caused by how we treat children!

Any child allowed to self-drive is always kind and loving. That’s the true nature of people.

Connected to our own needs, instincts, and feelings, we are very much aware of how much we need and crave close relationships.

It’s those children bullied into compliance who consequently become the source of every bit of conflict throughout the world!

To start a war there has to be an aggressor. Somebody who is completely unaware of how much they crave loving relationships. When we allow children to live from their own hearts, there can never be an aggressor.

How is that for an eye opener?

Allowing children to live from their own hearts ends war. None of them gets so damaged that they forget they crave good relationships.

The human race is not aggressive or violent at all.

Only the damaged ones are aggressive!

Once we become obedient, we lose all connection with our inner lives. Pay attention to these people, and it’s obvious that there are no inner connections.

With their resultant low self esteem, they will crave power. There is nothing that can give them peace, though. They will cause destruction until their death, or their recovery.

Thanks for listening.

Take care,
