The energy for life comes from within!
Support that, as nature does, and life flourishes.
People too!
Ignore that self-drive, obstruct its flow, and the Trouble starts!
This is, by far, the single most important human understanding!
Support all life along its own path!
The human race has conflict!
That’s only because we don’t allow our young to develop from their own inner fire.
We no longer support their self-development!
We superimpose our own ideas!
The more we do this, the more trouble we get, all the way to war and genocide.
This is so obvious, it takes a lot of focus to avoid seeing it.
Who are the troubled people in our world?
Those encouraged along their own path?
Or those forced into behaviors and thoughts coming from others?
Hate!
We all know the trouble comes from those who hate!
Those filled with hate scramble for proof that their way is the only one!
How did they become filled with hate?
Their inner energy was never allowed to drive their own development!
They were told who to be, and what to think!
Wherever in the world that happens, we see never ending conflict and war!
A lot of this has been unofficially recognized in various places, such as art, music, and social movements.
The drive to survive begins in infancy!
What has seldom, if ever, been pointed out, is that the process of learning, combined with the critical need for that drive to come from within, begins immediately at birth, or even before.
This is not just a critical need, it’s an absolute imperative!
Every infant needs support, acceptance, and encouragement to power their own development.
That must begin immediately!
When it does happen, that child’s development is more like an explosion than growth.
Maturity doesn’t happen at 30. It happens almost immediately.
We watch infants learn to walk and talk. That’s an Astonishing accomplishment!
Just imagine if that level of effort carried on for years.
Well, with our support for their own inner fire, that’s the real, natural, and normal condition for humans!
So is love, trust, cooperation, joy, and fun.
Supporting them along their own path is how we get all of that back!
With the very best of intentions (for most of us), we are shutting our children down.
We have invented greed, conflict, and war along the way!
The concept is simple! Life comes from inside!
Let it!
Support it!
It causes a whole different life!
An entirely different world!
The world we all secretly crave, as we go about making it impossible!
There is a word for allowing our young to develop from their own inner fire! We call that respect!
