Clarity of Innocence

There’s something that always makes a day special for us!

What could that be?

It’s any day we wake up feeling more comfortable expressing our real selves!

Whenever we do that, it’s a special day, and we can feel it!

Why then, do we hide ourselves so much?

Why don’t we always live our real life, right out loud?

The answer?

None of us have been left with enough strength to do that!

The loss of our power.

At conception, all life gets the energy and power to successfully survive, if at all possible.

All life has its own power!

People don’t get to keep it!

We used to!

We don’t anymore.

All life is independent. It’s powered from the inside!

We live from within!

Nature fully supports offspring in all their efforts.

That’s the normal way!

Some time ago though, we humans stopped supporting the independent efforts of our young!

Not only have we stopped supporting these, but now we no longer even allow individual efforts!

Consequences!

We have taken a giant step away from natural ways! It has been costly for all of mankind.

People in their natural condition are kind and loving!

The only time a person becomes angry and hateful is when they are hurting!

Right now, we have a planet full of angry and hurting people!

Why does everybody hurt?

Because we haven’t been allowed to be ourselves!

Right from early childhood, whenever we tried, we got punished!

Every one of us has been through the battle of trying to express our unique wishes and feelings, and been punished for it!

It doesn’t appear to be a serious thing at first glance, does it?

Life is expression though!

What if, right now, we could express everything that we are, right out loud, without holding anything back!

Many of us have spent a large part of our lives in therapy, working endlessly to do exactly that.

If we ever could finish, we would be back to being who we were when we started out! Who we really are!

Just imagine. Our goal is to return to who we really are!

How sad is that? That’s how serious holding things back really is!

We each have an identity. Our senses establish our needs. Our identity is supposed to use instincts, awareness, and learning to satisfy those needs.

That’s how life normally works.

What happens when an identity doesn’t get allowed to decide, or to express anything at all?

What if it doesn’t even get noticed or recognized?

An impotent identity!

An identity allowed no expression whatsoever!

I expect everybody already gets that we are in that situation right now.

What’s not well recognized, is that being our real selves is what brings peace and community.

The trauma that our world lives with comes from not being our complete and original selves!

This alone, is responsible for the turmoil in our world!

We all start out with our own power! We need it! It allows us to satisfy our own needs! It allows us to know what our needs even are!

Where is our power?

Our identity no longer has it!

Now, why could that be?

Our children’s identities have no say!

They grow up into people who feel helpless.

They have no power! They started out with it, but in the name of obedience, it got confronted and overwhelmed!

That’s clearly not a good thing for anyone’s life!

How bad is it?

We see that everybody hurts and has anger issues!

Why is that?

Because our identity was us!

Life is expression!

We were not allowed to express our own life!

The resulting hurt has changed civilization!

Yes, it hurts. Identities do not go down easily. The pain is intense enough to cause our young to retreat from their own feelings. Partial disconnection happens.

When we can’t feel our own feelings and live from them, defiance and aggressiveness appear!

People have gone from their natural condition of loving, trusting, and playing, to being isolated, angry inside, and hurting!

This is a big thing to say!

Proof?

Having come this far, is it possible to put aside our preconceived beliefs, and really look at this situation?

When we can, the accuracy of this viewpoint becomes self-evident!

Any one of us can reverse this situation, even on a small scale.

By supporting independence, and allowing our young to keep the natural power they were born with, we get an entirely different attitude.

We get the real person!

An entirely different human! An individual without defiance!

We get real identities!

We get cooperative children!

We also get the only children who don’t hurt! They have no need to avoid their own feelings.

We get extremely strong and competent children who turn out to be everything we ever wanted.

Defy society?

That’s what it takes!

To allow children to power their own way into real life, in the natural and healthy way, we have to stand alone and defy the majority!

Doing that is a whole lot harder in these days of universal and instant communication.

Add to that the reluctance of a person who hurts, to support the power of strong independent children.

It doesn’t happen often.

But when it does, it works! It works like magic!

Want strong powerful and capable kids? Support their own independence!

They will cheerfully take on the world!

Their goals are always cooperation, relationships, play, and kindness!

It’s only people who hurt, that have goals of greed and suffering! If they could feel their own feelings, those would not be their goals.

It makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it? Its also nature’s way!

Does it seem obvious that overpowering another person’s inner power is not nature’s way?

Support for independence!

This is what nature does, for every life on the planet!

Does it seem like a good idea to maybe consider this option?

Does it seem obvious that a while back in our own history, mankind supported children in their own self-driven development?

Has our civilization become more caring, safer, and more comfortable now that we direct our children’s lives, rather than allow them to lead their own progress?

We all know it has not!

Has it become more divisive?

Certainly it has! It’s become crazy! People’s behavior is nothing like that of the lovely creatures that they really are!

Most of us have confusion, anger and hate!

I expect we are all aware that mankind will be lucky if we can even survive.

What could be responsible for such a big and tragic change in people?

Not allowing them to have their own power, or to be themselves could do it, couldn’t it!

How much would our refusal to allow our young to live from their own inner drive and needs have to do with this change?

We don’t allow our young to be fully themselves, driven from the inside as with all other life. We don’t allow their identities to do their job or to remain natural and healthy!

Why not try support and encouragement for a change! It’s nature’s way!

What if we allow kids to develop into who they naturally are?

How much difference would it make in everybody’s lives?

It makes all the difference!

It puts us right back into love and comfort. It returns humans to their normal condition!

Community returns!

This is the fulcrum! The tipping point!

Can it be done?

It’s a difficult thing to do in these times! It requires standing alone.

Even with obvious and astonishing results, others are still going to insist that children need to be controlled! It’s ingrained in our culture!

With all the evidence in the world, right in their faces, many will just never let go of the belief that kids need to be managed.

This appears to be our real problem. How to get people to look at the real situation and accept what really happens?

Beliefs seem to hold more power than direct evidence!

Infants are beginner adults. They are in a learning condition to manage their world! Do we help with that and offer guidance in managing?

Or do we stop them right there, and insist they do as we say, giving up on their own development and goals?

What does nature do?

When we ourselves hurt, its hard to boost others into feeling good and having their own abilities and power.

That’s what we have to do though!

It’s the doorway into righting our civilization!

People can once again be themselves, and that’s what we need!

People allowed to follow their own hearts are the most caring and wonderful creatures on the planet!

A good day

In the meantime, for a special day, any of us can make every attempt possible to be our real selves.

Just as we started out!

We can “live out loud” as much as we possibly can. That will always make the day special!

Just imagine if we could be completely that way, all the time!

We really need to stop this cycle of causing early hurt, even losing some of us to suicide, and then trying to fix it later, for the rest of our lives.

Thanks for listening!
