Responsibility for Self

As a parent, responsibilty for self takes on a whole new level of importance because not only do you have to figure it out for yourself, learning to implicitly trust your inner guide, you also need to be teaching your children how to be live with their natural instincts as their guide.

Babies are born with this built in system and sadly, before they have even left toddlerhood , the majority have been trained not to trust in it. They are trained to seek approval, to perform and to be acquiescent to authority, all the while surrendering their birthright to be embraced as a unique individial.

Then, if they're lucky, they survive the onslaught of society; the media, schools and the 'modern' family to begin a journey to "find themselves" when they realise just how insitutionalised their lives have been.

I cannot continue this post while my computer is running 40 words behind what i've typed. It is so slow and keeps losing what i'm typing which is driving me nuts, so.. later.....
