What is it that makes us normal? What makes us loving and sympathetic?
What makes us strong, happy, and content?
It’s the world’s approval that does that! If we can feel that, we are loving and responsible!
This is people’s natural condition!
But, we are all self-driven through our own power, our needs, our feelings, and our instincts.
Any child who feels accepted in this complete way becomes a truly lovely person!
They will be responsible and honorable. They will support others with their whole heart, even to their own peril.
If we support our young in this way, that’s what we will get, every time. It’s called nurture.
Nurture means support and protection for who we are.
Unfortunately, no child has received support for all these qualities for a long, long time!
Which is why so many are hostile!
Given that we don’t get accepted as self-driven any more, the way we fit into the world has changed.
Now, we present an image, no longer do we show our feelings or needs.
Other people feel more like threats to us instead of friends.
We all feel isolated. Trust and complete sharing would be dangerous.
We don’t support others, or feel supported.
We compete with everybody instead!
We hide our fear and our hurt.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US?
It’s that one thing that has brought us to this situation. That one single thing that we do.
It alone did all this, and it’s not done yet!
We treat our children differently!
That’s all!
All by itself, that has changed our world.
Life naturally comes from within! This is true for all life!
For people, our needs, instincts, and feelings normally drive our actions!
Life is designed to live this way.
The energy comes from our natural power, our needs, our instincts, our feelings, and our intelligence.
But, we no longer allow our children to power their lives through these natural systems.
Generation after generation, bit by bit, that has changed our world!
WHY?
Life needs to be driven from within! But, we no longer let it do that!
To be healthy, each of us must be expressing our power, our needs, our feelings, and our instincts.
It’s these natural qualities that cause us to be kind, loving, supportive, responsible, and fun!
That’s because this is how people really are when they’re healthy and everything is working properly!
Without these natural qualities though, we are only left with thought, and a whole lot of hurt!
Few of us, if any, are behaving from the power of our inner qualities.
Not allowing a person to live in the normal way does it! Not being allowed to live from the power of these natural and healthy tools of life.
All life is designed to be powered from within!
But, we don’t allow our children’s lives to be driven from within!
It has changed everything. Our world is different now.
One child at a time, we have changed our civilization!
NONE OF US CAN FEEL OUR FEELINGS!
Our needs are now a mystery to us as well! We blunder about in the dark!
Our instincts carry the wisdom of eternity, but we can’t feel any of it!
We all begrudge the loss of our confidence and our self-esteem!
WE HAVE MADE A MISTAKE!
We all need our human qualities back!
THEY COME FROM INSIDE!
That’s where the love comes from. The joy. The power. The pure imagination!
Even more importantly, the responsibility!
WE ARE ALL MISERABLE AS WE ARE NOW!
Drugs are rampant, legal or not! Alcohol is everywhere and marijuana as well. It’s all become medicine for hurt and pain!
Young people take their own lives! Everybody fights with each other!
People are angry! People hurt! People take advantage of each other at every opportunity! People are openly hostile!
Disease is overtaking humanity, and getting worse!
This is not the way people really are!
How people really are are only comes from inside them!
We must relearn to allow that!
Sharing has gotten worse a little at a time, and we have adjusted to it. Now though, life has become intolerable!
WE HAVE MADE AN AWFUL MISTAKE!
Can we please accept that, get over it, and get on with fixing the damage?
HOW DO WE FIX OUR WORLD?
We stop controlling our children. Life is designed to come from within. We let it!
Our young will immediately begin managing their lives infinitely better than we ever did or could!
That’s because this is what all life is designed to do!
All our wonderful human qualities come from the inside!
With our demands though, we have banned those qualities.
That’s what we must change. Like it or not, we must allow our young to live from the power of their own needs and instincts.
We can later move on to fixing the damage that we have done to each other!
We all need our inner lives back! We need to feel our own needs. Our feelings. Our power! The wisdom of our instincts.
Our love of life! Our joy! Our fun!
The astonishing comfort of wallowing in the support of everybody around us!
That’s what we all need back!
WE ARE CONTROLLING OUR CHILDREN’S EVERY MOVE!
We are quite comfortable this way!
Unfortunately, though, they are not! Life cannot work like that!
It’s designed to live from the power of it’s own energy!
We have to work with that, or else pay the prise of eventual extinction! That’s where we are going, one step at a time.
THE COST OF OVERPOWERING THE INNER DRIVE OF ANOTHER PERSON!
The cost will be everything!
Nature has no wriggle room!
We aren’t finished with suffering the cost of our mistake yet. The eventual cost will include our extermination!
Life is driven from within! It cannot survive any other way. If disease doesn’t finish us off, despair will!
The more we deny the needs, feelings, and instincts of others, the less value each life has. We can look at others and see how much value remains.
WE MUST BACK OFF AND ALLOW THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN TO BE POWERED FROM WITHIN!
At first we will have to fight with our own authorities! Our authorities are more interested in being authorities than in finding and doing the right thing!
We will be viewed as irresponsible and uncaring!
But our children will be happy, loving, and competent beyond the understanding of those authorities, as well as most of the population.
Far, far beyond. We have forgotten how strong and capable children are, if allowed to stay healthy and powered from within!
I expect it will be a surprise to everybody how many problems in our world will just disappear if we can make this change.
Conflict will suddenly be impossible! People living from the strength of their needs and feelings are happy and willing to share, no matter the cost. That’s because we can feel our needs.
We all need the support of others desperately. When we can feel our needs, we know that. Therefore, we behave accordingly!
Greed will be gone. It was only a symptom. It was an attempt to feel strong again.
Other people will no longer be threats. They will become support for us once again!
We will live in harmony. That’s the natural condition of humans.
This miracle is not only possible but our normal condition.
