Clarity of Innocence

Most of us, if not all, hurt in some way.

We live with that hurt for life.

Why?

WE DO IT TO EACH OTHER

All life is designed to be driven from within.

But we don’t allow that!

What are the consequences?

The destruction of the driving force of each life so affected. The loss of self-esteem.

All life is driven from within. It’s the nature of life.

We like to control our children’s lives. Sadly, though, when they can’t power their own life, they lose that ability.

We choose to believe our control is normal and necessary.

It isn’t!

The very best that we can ever be only happens with complete freedom to power our own way.

Everything good and wonderful about humans comes from deep within. Honor, compassion, love, loyalty, along with other loving human traits, all come from within.

When we shut this down by forcing obedience instead of allowing life to be self-driven, we exclude all loving human qualities from our environment. That’s how we got here.

Supporting our children in their own efforts has become unpopular. Just look at the consequences, though.

As it turns out, that alone has turned “The Garden of Eden” into a war zone!

We did it all ourselves. We still do it. We stand committed to guiding our children. But, as with all living creatures, they are already self-guided.

Left to live from their own drive, they are loving and compassionate. That’s our true nature.

Stripped of their inner strength, though, our children lack self-esteem and can be brutal. They have lost connection with their instincts, feelings, and awareness of their own needs.

WHY ARE YOUNG LIVES SO FRAGILE?

Early life carries enough power and instinctive wisdom to drive itself through life.

But that’s not nearly enough power to challenge a grown adult who threatens them with violence if they don’t obey.

For a new life to roll over and obey, it requires them to abandon their own driving force.

And so, that life enters a lifetime of hurt along with a lack of self-esteem.

What should we expect, though? Seriously. We take over a life designed to drive its own existence, force it into obedience instead, and we still expect it to be successful at living. That’s impossible. We have effectively crippled it in infancy.

Those of us who value freedom need to understand that the freedom to be ourselves needs to begin at birth. We are all living creatures, and our power must come from within. We can’t take over our own direction at 18 years old. Most of our inner strength is long gone by then.

Proof? Allow your children to drive their own development. The younger, the better. Observe the miracle that happens.

Conflict and hostility disappear. Love and cooperation break out. Why, do you suppose, that happens?

It happens when we stop causing damage. They need their self-drive. We damage that when we take over.

Life is designed to be powered from within. It’s not something that we can take over. Other lives do not belong to us. They belong to themselves.

All life nurtures its young as much as it can. People, though, have become too arrogant to follow nature’s rules.

We pay for that mistake.

Our leaders make it worse when they support control over people. Never mind that people are at their most loving and kindest with no control at all.

Then, under their direction, we live in a war zone instead of a natural, loving environment.

It takes very little to permanently damage the self-drive of a young life. Then we lose everything good that normally comes from within them. Life has to be driven from within to remain strong and undamaged.

That’s what life is. We can’t change that by deciding otherwise.

Now, in this troubled environment, our ever-present peer pressure is the opposite of wisdom.

It dooms our possibility of ever being happy. Even if we keep up with the changing demands of others around us, there is never any reward for our sacrifice.

Bowing to peer pressure always works against our own happiness.

Achieving so-called success in this unnatural environment is an empty victory.

Happiness, along with loving behavior, both come from a completely different source.

What source? Our own inner strength and power!

Peer pressure takes that away from us.

FEELINGS

Feelings are part of our inner strength. Instincts guide and power this entire show.

The original driving force that powers us into life requires respect, along with permission to do its job.

Mankind may never understand much about the source of life. That power knows what it’s doing, though.

The very best of every life always comes from within. Why would that be?

In our case, it comes from our needs. We need close relationships more than anything else. Allowed to live from our own internal power, it’s our needs that make us kind and compassionate to others. Our goals will be kind. We will be loving.

We will also be proud of who we are. All life naturally is, unless damaged somehow.

We are supposed to get support and encouragement for our inner strength and wisdom throughout our growing years.

When we never feel that support, the ugly face of peer pressure enters our lives.

HAPPINESS

All life has been designed to power itself.

That’s what life is! A collection of strength and cells powering their way into this world.

But, everything good about it comes from the driving force inside!

That’s what we are. That’s what all life is.

INSTINCTS, NEEDS, AND FEELINGS

Mother Nature gave us an absolutely wonderful gift!

Humans are the most wonderful and loving creatures on the planet!

Kind and gentle, we are generous to a fault. Each and every one of us!

But, it wouldn’t appear so right now, would it?

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US?

Peer pressure happened.

Instead of living from the kindness of our own instincts, needs, and feelings, we are living from the peer pressure and the craziness of the world around us.

We don’t know any better. Misdirection and confusion have been happening to us from our very first days on this earth.

The only time we were accepted while living from our own energy was in our very first few days of life.

THE GOOD IN US

Everything good in us comes from within us in the form of instincts, needs, and feelings. We need each other. We crave close relationships. That’s who we all really are.

But we won’t be aware of that if we can’t feel anything inside ourselves anymore.

Life is created and designed to be powered from within. All life!

As young children we don’t have the strength to defy authority and live from our own inner values and wisdom.

And that’s what has happened to each of us.

That’s what we hurt from.

WE LOSE OUR POWER IN INFANCY

That’s what all the screaming is about. It was never about colic.

Does that sort of pain feel natural to you? Is nature ever that intentionally cruel to developing life? Of course not. We will all need our natural strength to make it in life. We need support, not orders.

People who no longer live from their own instincts, needs, and feelings can be that cruel, and a whole lot worse.

Parents can’t be blamed for that. We can’t feel an infant’s pain at this point in our lives. Most of us can’t feel much of anything! This peer pressure environment is destructive beyond imagination. It’s the emergence of evil.

ARE THINGS HOPELESS?

Not at all. It’s an opportunity.

Mankind seems to have a billion problems to fix.

Well, we don’t. We only have one.

Somehow, we need to get it through everybody’s head that we must allow other life their own power.

That alone solves every problem mankind faces.

Really. People living with understanding and truth are always aligned in their goals. It just happens. Conflict doesn’t exist.

Our only task is to understand.

We all need to allow our young to keep their own self-drive. It’s the only natural strength they will ever get.

They will need it later when on their own,

INDEPENDENCE

The last word.

Will children be harder to get along with if we allow them to keep their own drive and strength?

You are not going to believe it.

Almost immediately, depending on their age, they can’t do enough for us.

This is real. It really happens.

All they ever wanted was to power their own lives and be part of what’s going on.

These are natural rights, by the way.

Every life has a natural right to be itself. Having to obey and please us is not a natural duty!

The right to be themselves.

Is that too much to ask?

By the way. The relationships that happen when we allow others to live their own path from their own energy are not something anybody from this world is going to believe.

The intensity is overwhelming. The comfort is beyond imagination. The love is comforting beyond explanation.

It’s all free. It’s natural. All we must do is allow it. The loving world of humans is still there.

All we have to do is stop preventing it with our every order, law, and whim.

People are naturally cooperative to an unbelievable extreme.

We need to stop listening to those who don’t know what they’re talking about. They have brought us here. They have pushed their agenda until most of us believe in controlling everything.

It has created a world where many of us leave it of our own choice. It’s that bad.

Everything good in people comes from inside.

Encourage that, and all our problems go away.

But that’s just the start. The reward of honest and loving relationships waits for us. It’s unbelievable what is not only possible but actually normal for humans. Comfort beyond our wildest dreams. It’s there for the asking.

The only price we have to pay is to allow others the right to be themselves.

Seriously, is that an unfair request?

What is there in the entire universe that could ever be fairer and more righteous?

Thanks for listening,

Good luck on your journey.

Take care,
