Why do the problems in parenting persist generation after generation?
Here’s one: “There should not be one new dime in tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires as long as millions of children in America are poor, hungry, uneducated and without health coverage.” ~ Marian Wright Edelman
Imagine we’re in third grade. We all got a glimpse of what it meant to truly create and focus, then went out to recess… and never went back into class. We played and worked at play and played and worked at play, and worked and worked and stressed ourselves, raised families, prematurely aged, got sick and died and did the same thing lifetime after lifetime. Like in the movie ‘Groundhog Day’…
Stat: Approximately 57 percent of all children in the United States are living in homes that are either considered to be either “low income” or impoverished. ~ The Economic Collapse and Global Research
Recess doesn’t just happen at school. What about today’s economic environment and today’s recession? Oh yes, we’re still in recession, people. What about the stress of all THAT on the backs of parents?
Money is one of the BIG issues that parents have been struggling with for generations! I often wish we would just GET OVER IT, already! But that is not to be as long as we are on recess, hanging out on the playground of denial.
Denial is a form of recess: a hollow place, a (supposedly) temporary halt of work or session. When we are ‘at work’ or ‘in session’, we set goals and make advancing progress on what we say we want. The trouble is, we are somehow hypnotized into believing it’s up to others to give us what we want, that they hold the reins of power over us, that we’re helpless against them and that simply isn’t true.
‘They’, in this case, is not just the millionaires and billionaires who we imagine are sucking all the money to the top and unwilling to slice off our fair share but it’s also the ‘others’ that have the power to hire and/or fire us right in our own environment! ‘They’ are in my way and I can’t have what I want or need! Oh, woe is me!!!
If you would step back and observe, you would see that in spite of this ‘problem’, we are all still here and we persist through thousands of years. There are those of us who settle into a ‘what’s the use’ attitude and remain in the financial class of our parents or lower and there are those who, against all odds, rise above the family legacy. These are the ones who have come in from recess, from a financial stand point.
I liken it to the question of how thousands and millions of people are oppressed by one person: the slave owners on the plantation, the people of North Korea, the people of Zimbabwe. Just think of it! Millions of minds, brains bossed by 1 !!! Wow. Come on now. All it takes is… oh please. I’m not going to spell this out. You get my meaning.
Why do we allow this to happen? When did we go out on recess? We allowed this to happen by thinking of ourselves as bodies rather than the child of God that we are. We went out on recess with the ‘rise of capitalism’ and ‘when the west was won’. To many of us it was all just ‘too much’. Our loving, human, altruistic sensibilities were devalued. We allowed it. We buried our head in the sand, we went out on recess and our heads have been buried in the sand ever since.
Conspiracy theories aside, systems are in place that keep us so buried in ‘survival’ that we don’t have the time or energy to look up, assess where we truly are in a deep way, where we want to go and the best route for getting there. Once we do that as individuals, then band together as humanity, what we want will get done. It’s important that we KNOW we will get it done.
How do we get over it? How do we come back from recess? How that is done is not technically a secret anymore. If we dig for the answer it can be found. It can be googled. Our many diverse brains and living situations call for custom solutions. It’s the beauty of being human.
We’re special and individual and need to 1) give ourselves that recognition personally and in a deep way. To do it in a deep way requires us to 2) stop in the moment, give ourselves quality moments to sort our feelings and then, recognize our power. Our loving, human, altruistic sensibilities are the liquid gold we then infuse into the top 1/10th of 1% richest humans. Many there have forgotten who they are and that they are part of US! There are basic human amenities that we all require and are entitled to: wealth, food, shelter, education and health.
Yes, I said wealth, a large amount of money. We’re all entitled to have it! Does this feel like a foreign concept? Do you really think you were born here to suffer, struggle and die? We’re discontent because we ALL KNOW better! Let’s break these chains of thought that ‘others control everything’ and 3) free ourselves! Wasn’t it The Funkadelic that said, “Free your mind and your ass will follow”? Yep. It’s true. I have direct experience of that.
Would you like to eliminate fears and anxieties in minutes rather than taking months and years?!! If you have fears and/or anxieties that stand in the way of you making the money you know you’re capable of or stand in the way of dealing with parenthood in a thoroughly loving and effective way, if you find you are often anxious over disciplinary issues or what the future holds, contact me through the complimentary parenting assessment at saveyourbreath101.com/parenting-assessment. It’s a $250 value for free for a limited time only. You’ll be glad you did!
You were born to be a HERO to and for your child. There’s a saying, “God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.” I believe this is true. Not all people are called to be parents AND many parents don’t pick up the mantle of being responsible parents, HEROES for their children, and our world suffers because of it.
THIS IS A CALL TO ARMS!!! I call now for parents who treasure all that is holy and sacred to take up arms against parenting by default, living in fear and anxiety and just generally feeling crappy. Of the ones called, an HEROIC task is laid before them… Bring up the next generation of HEROES.
BE the light that shines for your offspring on the path to Infinite Joy. Give it to yourself first. Have your True Will. What is your True Will? Have you taken the time to sift it out? Just stopping to examine it and then acknowledging it starts the wheels of its manifestation!
I suspect a big part of it, way back in the corner of your mind, is setting the world straight for the fair gain of your offspring for when they’re due to hit the income earning years. A big part of it is surely to have them recognize their power and learn how to exercise it. They learn best what they observe in you.
This doesn’t stop just because your child is now an adult. Of course, you may no longer be able to influence your adults as you did when they were a child but it’s YOU that has to receive the healing if your relationship with them appears to be lacking. Remember, we’re all mirrors for/of each other.
The paradox is: what appears to be giving you more to do, is really, ultimately, freeing you up and allowing you to have more fun and finesse in your activities. When the end result is more money in your pocket, doesn’t that feel freer? Isn’t more fun and finesse in our activities what we really want?
Swing into the zone of understanding how truly powerful you/we are. Do you5)meditate? Whatever you do, enjoy the beautiful, cool scenery that’s laid before you when you go within. Come out with a deeper love of yourself that says ‘I am taking excellent care of myself, financially and otherwise and sharing the wealth with my loved ones’.
I have a high interest in people having access to answers! Recess is over! Some of us just didn’t hear the bell. There is a line in consciousness that one crosses that allows, not only an easier time with raising children, it helps enhance all aspects of our lives, even making money. It’s a spiritual ‘yeast’ that expands us in all directions. Thrilling events occur when we tap into this part of ourselves in earnest. Care to tap in with me?
Are you ready to come back from recess?
