The quality of our lives then leaps into the stratosphere. They have meaning and purpose.
For many of us, this will be a difficult struggle. Unlike all other life, we have been forced into living by the rules of others, and not from our own hearts.
Sadly, this removes everything good and wise coming from within us. This is not a good thing. It is an evil thing. It alone is responsible for all our conflicts, including war.
Communicating once again, though, with our own inner lives will take determination and time.
Reconnecting with our own inner lives is the first and by far the most important thing each of us can do for our own happiness. Loving relationships bring infinitely more comfort, joy, and happiness than any amount of money or power.
It also fixes the environment.
Why? Our feelings, needs, and instincts make us acutely aware of our powerful craving for intimate relationships. Consequently, we treat others with great care and kindness. People of this calibre are always wise and gentle. Happy too. Also quietly powerful.
Those of us brought up brutally, through the rules and demands of others, no longer have awareness of our inner comfort and strength. Yes, it really is brutal. It involves having our own identity, strength, and morality ripped away. We don’t give up easily. That’s what all the shouting and threats were about, so long ago.
Once turned into a robot, we have no incentive to be kind or gentle, often behaving destructively and dangerously.
OUR GUIDANCE
Our guidance is of no use to our young. That’s our pretense to make ourselves feel important and needed.
We are needed, of course, but for our support, not our criticism.
We are woefully inadequate in our guidance when compared to our children’s own instincts, needs, and feelings.
Life is designed to come from within.
The best adults are those lucky enough to get support and not guidance. We, humans, have put no effort whatsoever into understanding the needs of other human lives. We simply assumed they need whatever we decide to give them.
By behaving in this way, we have turned our world into what it is now.
We could easily have turned this world into a paradise instead.
Life is powered from within. All we had to do was support that, as all other creatures do.
If we did that, every child would become supportive, gentle, and loving.
It just always happens. This is not a secret. It’s always been right there in our faces to see. Unfortunately, most of us choose to see only what we want to see.
Therefore, we have taken paradise and turned it into a war zone.
STUCK IN A WAR ZONE
None of us, all alone, can do much about our sick environment.
We can, however, repair our own internal environment.
How?
We begin revealing our real selves. Does this sound like therapy? Of course. That’s what therapy is.
Trusting our own real character is frightening. We have all been repeatedly punished for doing that very same thing. As adults, or even older children, we will be ashamed of most of who we really are. How sad is that?
Every step along the path of revealing our true needs, feelings, and even our instincts makes us more loving and responsible as we go along! It’s true.
Real life is infinitely kinder than the mess we live in now.
Our goals change as well. Power no longer interests us. Loving relationships do.
GETTING BETTER
While it is frightening to reveal our secrets, there is no real risk. Anger and hate fade away with each step. Others will accept the real us far more than they ever accepted our facade. As we become kinder, others like us more. It just goes that way.
How would you like to live in a family where you felt completely accepted as you really are? Anybody else travelling the same path also becomes capable of living in the same warm comfort and security, without any conflict at all.
Every young child is capable of living just like that, by the way. It’s the natural and normal way. It’s only damage that makes so few adults capable of it in these times.
Everybody gets to express their deepest thoughts and dreams.
Well, that’s the end result! Nature knows what it is doing.
Mankind hasn’t taken the trouble to learn anything about the needs of human life. We double down on our beliefs without bothering to learn anything! We all end up in isolation and struggle.
Want paradise back?
Allow all others to live from the spark inside. You will not only immediately get the very best from them that they are capable of, but you will also become accepted in a way that never happened before.
And, that’s how it’s done. That alone fixes everything.
It’s always been right there to see. Many live that life, we see it, and we wonder how that happened. What’s the secret?
With luck, it’s not a secret anymore.
Thanks for listening.
Good luck on your journey.
Take care,
