LIVING FROM RULES WILL KEEP TAKING US FURTHER INTO CONFLICT!
This happens because our wisdom gets smothered by the demands of others.
All life is powered from the inside!
We, people, are loving creatures, but only when we’re allowed to live from our hearts!
Living from within, people are compassionate and loving.
Our instincts carry the wisdom of all time. Our feelings guide us socially, and unerringly. Our own needs, if we can feel them, do so as well.
Our instincts will guide us into supporting and encouraging our young. That’s what any of us would naturally do if removed from all social pressure!
It’s only when we live in a tightly-knit group that the pressure to take over the self-driving nature of our young happens.
Then, we follow the crowd. Standing alone against that social pressure is almost impossible, even though we are right to do it.
After that, our children live from our rules instead of their own instincts, feelings, and needs.
Their wisdom and compassion have become orphaned.
Can you feel your instincts? Your needs? Your instincts?
You could before!
We all began life in full connection with this inner drive and guidance! Every one of us used to feel powerful!
People can’t feel right from wrong when we can’t feel our instincts!
And, that’s what’s wrong!
No child wants this!
All life wants to be allowed their natural right to be driven from the inside.
That’s what life is!
Overpowering this inner guidance doesn’t work! We lose our inner values. We become greedy and manipulative. We become incomplete!
Our natural love and wonder, originating from within, then fosters hostility and war instead of support and compassion.
We have come a long way down that road already.
CONSEQUENCES!
We are making our world into what it has become, and we aren’t done yet!
People are now without compassion, and they’re angry. This will continue to get worse.
This isn’t a theory! It’s what happens!
Stop the over-control of our young, and we always get loving people. It really is that easy!
All life is designed to be driven from the inside. People too!
Tell them what to think and do, and we always get conflict and war! The more we do that, the more hate and violence we get! This is obvious everywhere throughout the world.
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?
How do we see ourselves? What makes us see ourselves the way we do?
Other people do! They tell us if we’re good or bad!
Only when we lack natural power from within do we believe them, though!
Therefore, when not living from within, the way we see ourselves comes from those around us.
How we see ourselves always means everything to us!
If we believe ourselves to be a bad person, we will act like one.
Lacking connection with our feelings and instincts, we believe what others tell us about ourselves.
Every suggestion that we should be different devalues our importance.
That’s right! Every small suggestion to change causes further damage.
We are at our best in our natural condition. We are loving, respectful, and non-destructive.
A person who sees themselves as bad can never feel at peace. Life will be a struggle right through to the end! We see that everywhere.
We need to see ourselves as we are in our real human condition, loving and compassionate.
People are hostile now. It’s because we no longer respect ourselves!
CAN WE CHANGE BACK?
Whether we can, or we can’t, trying to do this is our only chance of ever feeling the way we should!
HOW CAN WE CHANGE BACK?
What do we do in therapy? We try to relearn to be ourselves. We try to express our real feelings!
Well, that’s how we all started out! There was no wisdom in overpowering that! It’s all bad!
We can’t recover while trying to please those around us.
Honestly, though, did that ever work?
Our goal must become “feeling good about ourselves”.
To do that, we need to behave in ways that make us feel right about our actions!
It’s safe to ignore the feedback from others if we are already living from our own hearts!
We will get a whole lot more respect when we do.
Real love becomes possible for us!
Everybody talks about love, but very few of us can actually do it!
While following peer-pressure, love is impossible!
Love comes from deep inside. Everything wonderful does!
To recover, our job is to listen to anything coming from within us. That will keep getting easier.
WILL LIFE BE MUCH DIFFERENT?
It will begin to become real.
We will be revealing ourselves in ways we never dared to before!
We will actually feel proud of ourselves.
That’s only the beginning. It will continue to develop.
The road back to living from our own hearts is longer than anybody would guess.
But, it’s well worth it! Life continues to become more real. We feel better about ourselves. Others recognize that. Everything gets easier!
We get to live out our own feelings. We no longer need to hide them!
Others like us more!
If we get far enough, we return to the way we felt as a child, with that same unlimited confidence. That’s what life for us is supposed to feel like!
Feeling powerful puts at our very best. Life is all love, acceptance, support, and fun.
We know it’s possible! It’s happened here and there throughout history.
Well, this alone is the difference. It’s black and white! Yes or no! Trust or war!
Thanks for listening.
Good luck!
