Life comes from the inside. All life. It’s self-driven.
It’s only when life isn’t allowed to be self-driven that trouble begins!
Sadly, we no longer allow each other to be self-driven.
But everything wonderful about humans comes from deep inside.
Most of us can no longer feel what comes from inside!
The result? We are in the process of losing everything wonderful!
Want world peace? That comes naturally.
Unfortunately, few of us can feel the trust, the kindness, the powerful need we all share for loving relationships, or the imperative we all feel for the well-being of those around us.
Humans are lovely. We can’t be that anymore, though. It comes from inside. We can’t feel what comes from inside. Not anymore.
That’s all that’s wrong.
WHAT HAPPENED TO US?
Natural humans are kind, gentle, and cooperative. That comes from within.
We have lost access to that. Consequently, we are now aggressive and hostile to each other.
We make rules to solve the resultant conflict. When that doesn’t work, we make more rules.
That produces a structured social condition. Some of us have more importance and authority than others. That never works. It’s a recipe for corruption.
HOW DID WE GET LIKE THIS?
We are listening to and obeying the wishes of those without wisdom.
We all carry the wisdom of the ages within us. We call it instinct. It tells us what’s important. It guides us into our best possible life.
We can’t feel that anymore, though. We could when we were little.
We can get it back. That’s through the process of revealing everything about ourselves that we hide from the world. Surprisingly, doing that makes us steadily stronger, not more helpless. This is what happens in therapy.
There never was anything wrong with us. That belief came from others, other people expecting compliance.
OUR SOCIAL NORM HAS BECOME ONE OF CONTROL OVER EACH OTHER.
Do you want to obtain the very best from other people?
That comes from allowing them to live from the kindness and wisdom lying within them.
The loss of inner drive, power, and wisdom now happens in the very early lives of our children.
That’s when each of us lost our own inner power and wisdom.
Society tells us to control our children to make them kind and safe.
That’s tragically wrong advice. It’s the absolute worst thing we could do. Our children need their instincts, feelings, and access to their own needs. Far more than that, they need their own power. All life needs all of those things.
When we control our children, we cause them to lose connection to everything lovely that comes from inside them.
All life drives itself. Our job is to nurture. That means support and encouragement. It doesn’t mean crushing our children’s self-esteem. They are far kinder and safer with their own power and inner wisdom. All life is.
CAUTION
Suddenly releasing all control over a person who no longer has an inner connection to their instincts, needs, and feelings will often result in unfortunate behavior. It has to be done carefully and gradually.
Some may never make it back to living from their own inner kindness and strength.
The really young pose no danger. Driven from within, they can’t do enough for us. Sounds unbelievable, I know. It happens anyway.
People really are the most loving creatures around. But it all comes from within. But what a life. It has meaning and comfort. It’s available to our entire population.
All it takes is trusting the wisdom from within. All life does that.
All except humans in these times. Just look at what a mess that has caused. All the good and the love are leaving the human race. Our environment demonstrates the damage.
OUR DEATHBED
That’s when we can finally let go. The result is shocking. Many of us have wasted our entire lives following somebody else’s dream that lacks everything human.
Letting go allows us to feel what’s really important. That’s going to be a terrible surprise for a great many of us.
Thanks for listening.
Good luck on your journey.
Take care,
