We have lost our willingness, and our ability, to allow others to live their own identities!
The cost is a planet full of troubled, hurting, competitive, isolated, and desperate people.
All this trouble, and that’s all that’s wrong?
Yes, that is what is happening now, and has been a growing problem in the recent past!
It’s becoming more obvious every day!
It’s crazy easy to test!
Allow your young to live from their instinctive and natural identity, and watch every relationship change from resentment and defiance, into fun and cooperation.
Sounds impossible doesn’t it? Just wait till you try it, then we’ll see if it’s possible!
The obstacle preventing us from recovering from the fighting that we live with now, is that people are so in love with being the rule makers, we cannot see the consequences.
We just don’t want to!
Our civilization has doubled down on the belief of obedience, and is teaching our rules over instincts, morals, and natural behavior.
How’s this working?
Are you happy feeling as you do? Is the world ok for you?
Present beliefs are wrong when we include the consequences! The results are the loss of inner power in all of us, despair and problems for each of us, and ever growing conflict, taking us all the way to possible annihilation.
Popular beliefs are usually wrong in these times, especially when it comes to behavioral issues.
Our loudest, that we tend to follow, are also our most troubled. Why do we listen to these obviously troubled leaders, when real truth is available, bubbling up from our own instincts?
It didn’t used to matter as much. Communication, ramping all the way up to global social media, has amplified all of the consequences.
The magnifying effect of social media is assisting in allowing every innocent wrong belief, to spread ever increasing chaos throughout the entire world.
Throughout all of nature, natural identity is encouraged. That allows instincts and natural morals to dominate how life survives. With life that way, crazy behavior seldom happens. Inherited wisdom guides life.
Would that be better than what we are doing now, or not?
Right now, we increasingly try to do it all with rules.
That requires ignoring instincts, natural abilities, and everything coming from inside. Does that really sound healthy?
The message here is we each have to trust our own natural abilities and instincts, over the advise of loud, and clearly troubled people.
It is our young who are going to determine the direction that civilization will take. They will grow up, and “be” the new world. Keep them healthy and we get trust and community back, a little at a time.
Crush their identity, and the consequences will be a world of chaos, whether they want that, or not. Their road map into normal behavior, compassion and trust, will have been lost to each of them.
For each of us, it is frightening to ignore our culture and set off using our natural, innate understandings of life. It’s a leap of faith for sure!
Does that sound like a reasonable suggestion though? Trust the accumulated wisdom and instincts of thousands of years of learning, or trust some guy who can’t even keep relationships from self-destructing?
Identity and instinct was what each of us used in our earliest years, before we surrendered our identity. I expect it is clear that we were happiest then, and very easy to love.
Without it, we have no chance of knowing what foods our body craves, as all other life automatically does. Without it, we can’t know our real needs, meaning we have no way to satisfy ourselves. Anything we really want, we can’t even figure out what that is.
The result is failed relationships, and psychosomatic diseases!
Did we feel good back in our beginning? Were we more, or were we less destructive?
There was a reason we were so well loved throughout that time! We were our own identity, and we also allowed that in others.
Identities have beauty and grace. They get loved. Did you feel loved as an infant?
Getting drunk has the same effect, and the same results as disconnection. Further disconnection, always causes fighting.
That’s the difference.
Our quality of life took a “nose dive” with the loss of our inner power. Our sole goal in life really needs to be getting that back.
There is no other thing, that can do more for our own quality of life, than reconnecting with our original and real identity!
There is a reason why rich people still have poor relationships, and sometimes live on drugs, and even commit suicide.
All that work to become rich or powerful didn’t make anybody any happier. It’s a tough lesson to realize, and accept.
Reconnecting with who we are, brings the sun back!
It makes everything we want visible! It makes others visible as well.
It does indeed make our lives infinitely better. Every time, and without fail.
That requires entirely different behavior, to accomplish! Much the same behavior as the healthy, those still living their identity, have.
There is an encouraging recent development. The newest generation of kids don’t seem to have had their identity as crushed as previous generations.
They have enough ability remaining to stand up, say it like it is, then seek help.
That makes it impossible to blame them for the way they are. It forces us to accept that the damage people suffer is not their own fault. Something happened to them!
Once this understanding reaches a tipping point, all bets are off. It will quickly become impossible to assume nothing is wrong with our ways!
It really does seem safe to begin to hope now! A better world does seem possible, maybe even probable.
It may not be it time to resolve some of the conflict we suffer from, at the hands of some of the most damaged and lethal individuals in existence today, but it really does seem to be coming.
Once an understanding such as this becomes accepted as truth by enough people, a tipping point happens. It doesn’t have to be half of the people either.
Just like smoking became regarded as a bad thing almost overnight, it will happen with this epiphany as well. People will see, and regard a bullied child, as damage in progress. Damage that will hurt us all, as their pain mixes into the population.
Once we reach this point, the world we live in has a chance of becoming fair, cooperative, fun, and a pleasure to live in. I believe the excessive worldwide population, will ease off along the way, as well. Excessive population seems to be a byproduct of inner pain!
