When enough is just not enough - Day 495

A few days ago I attended a parliament meeting on Education. I found it fascinating to be in one room with complete strangers and yet, we all shared the same concerns about the future of Education in particular and the future of the world as a consequential outflow of a dysfunctional educational system.

 

The people that attended the meeting were very motivated to affect a change in the education system and they presented a singular solution however, the solution that was proposed was very limited in how it only deals with the consequential outflow of a dysfunctional education system but not with the source that created and would continue to perpetuate the problems that we are now facing. For instance, the way I would briefly define the source of the problem is where we, collectively, abdicated responsibility of living in a supportive and constructive global environment by giving our power away to economic and political systems to govern and control the world on our behalf.

 

The communication/discussion about the problems and one singular solution took about 2 hours long and for a moment it seemed that everyone in the room spoke in one voice. However, in the last 5 minutes, right at the end, one man stood up to asked a very specific and direct question, wherein he wanted to know and understand how exactly the singular solution that was proposed would be followed through in a physical time line to eventually affect a change for real. He shared that he has already walked this path before and was unable to create any fundamental change within the education system, he expressed his frustration about our education, economic and political systems. To me, this man grounded the discussion wherein, he showed the difference between 'talking' and 'doing'. The difference between 'hope' and 'physical and practical direction' as a living expression. He showed that one singular solution will not solve the problem that we are facing since the problem is by far too multidimensional. 

 

His voice was not heard and his questions were dismissed and yet, what he stood up for was exactly the point of all of us siting in that parliament room - to discuss solutions that are substantial, practical and physical instead of working with the 'hope' construct that was proven to fail during the last couple of decades.

 

When I went home, I had a look at this all point, considering that I, myself, am part of an organization that is working towards affecting a substantial change in the world and thus I absolutely understand how challenging it is to bring forth a change that is grounded, practical, physical and worthwhile on a global scale.

 

I opened up this point for myself and I had a look at why is it that so many people truly care about specific aspects of our reality and would dedicate their entire life to create awareness within the aim of getting people more involved in walking the solution to the problem. This is where I started seeing the separation more clearly, meaning - we are all looking at what we perceived to be isolated problems, trying to walk our own path an isolated solution.

 

So some would focus on Animal abuse, others would focus on Child Abuse, another would focus on Sexual Abuse, others on the industrial pollution and so forth. Each one of the participants would absolutely believe that they are doing everything that they are able to, to affect a change/solution in this one isolated problem that they have identified and defined as valuable enough to dedicate their life for the solution. Now, the physical reality shows that no matter how devoted people are in trying to change the isolated systems, no real change has ever taken place.

 

The organization that I am a part of, the Equal Life Foundation, has identified the source of all the isolated problems and therefore, by walking solutions to change the source of the problems, we are able to bring about change in all the isolated problems that many of us already seen and stood up for. Imagine that if all of us who took the initiative to walk one isolated problem and devoted our lives towards changing the problem into a solution - if all of us would stand up together as ONE voice - how powerful would we become, with combined skills, abilities, resources, funds, etc. Imagine how much we can do if we stand together to correct the source of all problems. So I am calling to all of you who have made it your life goal to change the isolated problem that you have identified for yourself - let's walk together to change all problems into solutions, together, as one force, that is powerful in bringing forth a practical and physical change in this world.

The Answer is within the Question - Day 390

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a continuation of the previous blog: Why did we stop questioning our reality? (Part 1) - Day 387 and

Why did we stop questioning our reality? (Part 2) - Day 388 and Why children do not respects Parents? - Day 389. For the full context of this blog, I suggest reading through these blogs for context.

 

So why have we stopped questioning our reality? How is it that at a young age we constantly asked: "But Why?" and then all of a sudden we became these beings that had submitted to the system that is dysfunctional in nature and yet, do not question it whatsoever? And of course, we cannot even question why we didn't thus far question because that would indicate that we are questioning our reality but since we are so use to not question anything, we end up where we are - in a dysfunctional world system where Equality, Integrity and Oneness is no where to be found; in a world system that is based on Greed, Power and Control where the winner takes it all; in a world system where unless you have money, you are not safe; in a world system that it's based foundation is to keep the human enslaved, limited and ineffective; it is time to start questioning our reality and in doing so, also walk the solutions and establish a world we can all be proud at.

 

As I've shown in the previous blogs, suppressing our natural ability to understand and comprehend a point was taken cared of at home, by our parents. And they cannot be blamed because they have been suppressed and limited by their own parents which are also not to be blamed because they have walked the same path with their parents and so on and on and on... the sin of the fathers keep on passing generation after generation. But the cycle must be stopped eventually and the questions must be asked and resolve into a solution that is best for all.

 

It seems to me that at some stage in our lives, when we realize that we are not going to live the happily ever after story as how we would have pictured and imagined our lives to be, for a glimpse of a moment we find ourselves wondering how did we come to this point and what went wrong during the way. We will start questioning our lives and from here, one of two things would happened: most likely, we would again submit to our course of life and justify for ourselves why our lives is just perfect the way it is and in rare cases, we would continue to investigate but once we realize that we are the solution, that we are the key, we will immediate give up and then justify for ourselves again why we shouldn't even bother. Yes, there are also these rare cases were we become activists and make a small and insignificant change in the world and again, justify for ourselves that we did our share and that is all that one can do. Although, there is one thing that none of us have yet to realize and that is - on the individual level, we cannot make a change however, once we stand together, as humanity and we align ourselves to the principle of absolute equality as what is best for all then… we can make a change.

 

It isn't going to be easy and with any new change, resistance will come up and it's ok - we have all been there and walked this point and you can read all about it in our journeys to life but the thing is - the answer is within the question and all we have to do is keep on asking the questions so that we can finally see the answer that was always here.

 

Join us in our journey of questioning our reality and see the answer for yourself.

Rejections as Parental Authority - Day 336

Continuing with the Question Who is Responsible for our Children's Education?

If you haven't already, I suggest reading through the previous blogs:

 

Who is Responsible for our Children's Education? - Day 332

Is the Zoo an Educational Experience for Children - Day 333

The Santa Claus Conspiracy - Can a Child Trust their Parents? - Day 334

Rejection as Parental Control? - Day 335

 

 

A comment I received on my Previous blog: Rejection as Parental Control? - Day 335

 

"I agree to an extent. It is also key for the child to understand who is in authority. When explanation is constantly given; the child can view themselves as an equal to the parent and as entitled to an explanation and therefore justification to obey. That is a mistake."

 

Perspective:

 

If you haven't already, I suggest reading through Day 340: What is Authority? by creation's Journey to Life where it was explained in simple Common Sense What Real Authority is:

 

"Authority is the Taking of Responsibility to Produce a Form of Management, Government, Directive Principle and Outcome that is Best for Everyone…"

 

"...Authority is That which Life Grants Each One Equally, the Authority as Life…"

 

Within that context, what is Parental Authority?

 

"..An Authority in Parenting would be to Show the ChildWhat is Best,’ How to Coexist Best without Fear in Peace in Harmony with Everyone else, Without Abusing or Dominating another, Without Enslaving another through Fear.."

 

And as I've mentioned in my Previous blog:

 

"...The tendency of parents is to simply answer: "No" and "Because I said so", without any form of explanation, without showing the common sense behind the decision and without teaching the child how to look at all things and decides on that which is best. In that, what parents are normally missing is the understanding that with showing these things to the child, and stand as an example of how to Deal with Dilemmas, how to solve problems and more importantly, how to prevent a problem as a foundation/tool the child would effectively grow and expand themselves instead of becoming ineffective emotional machine that would shape and form their characters to either submit, rebel or suppress their experience of rejections.."

 

Within the context of the Comment above, it is implied that the child isn't equal and cannot be equal to their parents which is bizarre if one would look at it because: didn't the child come from the Flesh of their parents and thus, on a physical level, is equal to and one as the parent? So then thus, what separate the child from the Parent is the Belief that the child isn't equal to the parent so that the parent could superimpose their authority onto the child without realizing that this type of authority is abusive. Why?

 

When authority is used to perpetuate the inequality within the family structure, one do not see, realize and understand that one is in essence, doom their child to be and become ineffective human being in this world.

See, when the child doesn't receive explanation for the Parent's decision, the child would not learn how to expand their seeing through investigating all things and keep that which is best and accordingly, the child may develop the habit of accepting things as they are, even when it's not for the best and would thus, not question and see the relationships involve in any decision one is making, the outflows and the consequences. Thus, the child would not be able to evaluate and assess the problem one would face or more importantly, figure out in a practical manner how to prevent a problem from occurring.

Within this, the child would turn out to be dysfunctional being who is not able to develop reasoning thinking, common sense and become effective in this world which is exactly the reason why we live in a world where solutions and preventions is not part of our daily participation but rather, accepting the world system as it is despite of the abuse and suffering that is part is existing and a direct divertive of our world system, without ever investigate all things and keep that which is best for all.

 

What needs to be investigated is why the parents is unwilling to stand as their child's equal and walk as the Principle of Give as you would like to Receive. Meaning, if you place yourself in the shoes of your child: would you like to be given an answer such as "No, because I said so" without understanding the reason for the rejection, what is the starting point of the rejection and what was the parent looking at when making the decision to answer: "No.? I'm pretty sure you would not appreciate such a thing.

 

If one would look in self honesty, when we automatically say: "No" it is most often a reaction. Whether the reaction is coming from Fear of Past experiences, the reaction would deny us from looking in common sense at all the possibilities and outflows that are involved within a decision.

Our Children are very sensitive to their environment and therefore, within themselves, they would pick up whether or not we have been self honest and genuine in our answer/approach/decision. From there, the child would either accept or reject the Decision. Meaning, if the child accept the parent's self-dishonesty, the child would tend to submit and if the child reject the parent's Self-dishonesty, the child would try to manipulate or rebel. In both scenario, the actions and behaviour that would form a part in how the child would create their personality/character that would play a role in their adulthood lives when facing moments of decisions.

Here, I would suggest listening to Parenting - Perfecting the Human Race - Part 3 where it was specifically discussed the point of accepting or rejecting the Energies the child would pick up from their Parents words.

 

"...look at the consequences of a parent asserting authority over the child - as this is what has essentially made it possible for beings to exist as they are today because we raise our children to give in and/or give up their 'power' to authority, regardless of whether or not the being in an authority position is actually able to be trusted to take responsibility and make decisions that are for the best.  The teaching of 'understanding authority' leads to conflict within the individual because of the self-doubt and self-distrust as a result of being told that an authority figure is right and knows what is best - regardless of whether or not there is common sense…" (perspective written by a friend of mine who is a mother of 5 years old child)

 

So, what is behind the belief that the child is not our equals will be further discussed in blogs to come.
