The energy of life comes from within! Let it. The result is lovely, compassionate people, well connected with their instincts and feelings!
When self-drive isn’t allowed though, we try until exhausted, and then we crash! When any of us can’t control our own path, we fight back, give up, and that’s when we lose connection with our own inner life. No more feelings. No more instincts. No more compassion! Low self-esteem is what happens when we control infants and children with our wishes.
This consequence is what has created our present world. We can’t feel our needs, our instincts, or our feelings. We could though, when we were little.
It may be difficult to stand up to the vast majority who insist on controlling everything and everybody, but the alternative is to follow the world further into the chaos we’re immersed in already!
It’s ironic that we believe allowing freedom causes anarchy, when in fact it’s our control that’s doing that!
It should be clear to all of us by now that the more we tighten the rules, the more disagreement we get.
It’s a little harder to see because we don’t try this much, but as we loosen off our control, people become kinder.
That’s because people are already complete upon creation! They are already compassionate and responsible. That’s the nature of life! Identities are fixed at conception!
All our interference can do is create chaos, and we should all be tired of this experiment by now!
The proof is everywhere! More control always means more conflict. No control always means love! Look around!!!
Life is designed to find its own way against all obstacles. Allow it to do that, and we’re all fellow travelers in life!
I realize it sounds ridiculous, but this seemingly innocent habit of ours, of taking over other lives, is all we did wrong to change our world from a loving one into this hostile and dangerous one!
It starts with infants. They learn to talk and to walk. They are only getting started. They’re on a path to coping with the world from their own energy. That’s all they want. That’s all any of us ever wanted back then.
Allow them to do this as all other life already does, and meet the best friend you will ever have in this life.
Deter them though, take over, and a life of conflict will be yours. They suffer as well.
This theme of self-drive isn’t just an opinion. It’s the result of assessing the cause and effect of countless situations over a great many years. It’s been the biggest puzzle ever.
This works. It works every time!
The pivot point is our inner lives! As long as our identity can communicate freely, using its language of feelings, with our needs and instincts, then we are warm and loving creatures.
Once this is no longer true, which is what happens when we become controlled by others, we lose connection with our needs, and therefore no longer know how much we need the love of others. This leaves us free to behave in any way we wish at any moment. It also leaves us lonely, frightened, and angry!
Thanks for listening.
Good luck on your own journey!
