Clarity of Innocence

Humans are a loving, compassionate, sharing, fun, and trusting race!

Doesn’t sound like anybody we know does it? It’s true though, we are a loving race.

As a group, we have accepted some assumptions about life that came from the past.

Some of these are making the natural trust between people impossible.

Unexpectedly, they cause enough damage to isolate us from each other.

That’s because we all have broken hearts!

With a broken heart, it’s much harder to be kind!

In these times trusting others would be foolish.

It’s everybody for themselves!

We can stop hurting each other any time we want though.

Some of our cherished beliefs have to go, to do it!

They were never correct, don’t exist in nature, and cause unexpected collateral damage.

They hurt the inner world of the creatures that we really are and destroy the trust humans desperately crave.

The difference between a kind and loving race, and a fearful warlike race can simply be an idea that everybody accepts. It can even be an idea meant to comfort, and as things are turning out, I suspect that’s exactly what happened.

Keep in mind these are cherished beliefs. The very thought of letting go of them is going to be a shock to even consider.

The guiding light for establishing truth should probably be testing and observation. The consequences of assumptions about life really need to be considered!

We have accepted some assumptions as truth, and they have taken us to a terrible place.

If we have a belief, it must be accurate.

The violence and the hate in this world come from ideas we accept as true, but never were. They seemed like good ideas. They were meant to help.

Life has absolute truths. We may have considered them unimportant, but nature has no wriggle room at all.

If we try something a different way and the results are trust and love, that’s a good indication that mankind has, in the past, accepted an idea that’s not only wrong but destructive as well.

If we don’t see our assumption being applied in nature exactly the way we are doing it, then, once again, we probably made it up!

LET’S GET STARTED

CONTROL OF OTHER PEOPLE!

The real condition of humans is to always try to fulfill the needs of others around them.

If someone isn’t doing that on their own, there is a reason.

Our present world is so painful to all of us that there are a million possible reasons.

Using force to change anybody’s behavior is always going to make things worse though.

A loving relationship is going to begin its decay, the minute that happens.

When people do things, right or wrong, they always feel morally right.

That’s because they would never normally do something that hurts others. It only happens when they are hurting badly enough to cause pain to others.

It feels justified to them, all the way!

If people don’t hurt inside, what they do is always loving.

If they have been hurt too much, they will do thoughtless and even cruel things.

Their behavior may be unacceptable, but when you attempt to correct it by force, you will be considered the aggressor. They will believe that with all their heart. That’s the way it really feels to them.

The only options that won’t make things worse are to accept their behavior, move on, or allow your own hurt to show.

The real cure is for mankind to return to natural ways of treating others in the first place. Then we don’t all walk around in pain and then behave in ways that cause further hurt to others.

Punishment doesn’t work! It may change the behavior for the moment but trust has been further damaged, and worse behavior will develop.

Not causing hurt does work!

Mankind’s natural ways are loving ways.

This represents quite a difference from our present world, doesn’t it!

Test it! Stop struggling to get the behavior you want.

Allow others to have the full power they were born with, and almost certainly lost. It’s their self-esteem. Every bit of power they can get back will bring them closer to being a loving person.

They cannot move in this direction while defending themselves from being controlled.

This concept can be summed up with one thought.

Let everybody have their own power.

That’s a universal truth, and it fixes every problem we have!

TREATMENT OF INFANTS!

This is where the hurt throughout our world begins!

This is why we all hurt!

How, do you expect an infant would want to be treated if they had a choice?

For all other life, their offspring are protected as much as possible while being encouraged to develop their abilities and skills, all on their own!

This should be a clue!

All life gets an astonishing burst of energy to carry them through life! People call it self-esteem!

They need that! Every life does!

With support, they will be far more successful in their own identity than we could ever make them. They would have had the best parents ever, as well!

We must, at all costs, protect their power.

Otherwise, our offspring will have difficulty functioning in any normal manner throughout their entire life! They may drag themselves reluctantly along, but the magic, the enthusiasm, and the companionship of others are missing because trust won’t exist.

If they lose that inner power, the energy to thrive is gone. Once gone, it’s normally gone forever!

Nowhere in our culture is personal power recognized as a good thing!

The opposite is true! We oppose and defy all attempts that our young make in their quest to manage life on their own!

We cause our children to have to live their lives without any inner power!

Is it any surprise that this would bring out the worst in them?

Is it clear that those who feel powerful are the most wonderful, and it’s the helpless coming up with ideas that cause the worst damage!

Helplessness kills!

It puts our backs to the wall. Every act is an act of desperation.

Nothing good or strong comes from helpless people.

It’s our natural power that releases our creativity and kindness.

Mankind needs to protect and encourage personal power. I expect this was the American dream. They seem to have lost their map for the moment though.

Only our children are aware of what their own identity needs! Just like all other life, we should be supporting their own efforts.

That provides them with their best possible life, and us with their love!

The cherished idea that we should take over our children’s lives and guide them into success was well intentioned!

It’s also the one idea that could destroy trust throughout our world!

That’s because it’s based on a false assumption of what children really are!

They are already complete, and internally driven!

When we defy their power, we damage them!

Proof? Our world is proof!

What we see is not who people are!

Take any child and encourage their own power and then we will see who people really are!

They are lovely! We should not crush those qualities?

Any child allowed their power will not struggle with self-esteem. They will not struggle at all. They will be the only ones really helping!

These two issues are cherished ideas that are incorrect and cause many problems throughout the world.

One issue causes the other, so it seems there might even be only one. Allowing children their own natural power, all by itself eliminate everybody’s need to control others.

Mankind needs to allow each person their own power.

We tried it the other way! It just keeps getting worse.

Try allowing it! It all gets better.

All other life throughout nature respects and encourages personal power.

Our therapists don’t say it out loud, but that’s what they do! One by one they bring a little power back into each patient.

Inner power is natural life! When we respect that, we stop the destruction of our own population.

Thanks for listening!

Good luck in your own journey!
