We need parents. Parents who parent us. A mom who says, “You’re safe.” Who comforts and consoles. And a dad who says, “You’re able.” Who encourages us to work and be creative.
So we can, thereafter, comfort and encourage ourselves. Parent ourselves. And comfort and encourage each other.
The universe, the spirit that is everything, the eternal, is safe and able.
The eternal is safe. Unharmable. Able to enjoy existence. The eternal - the real us - is able. Able to exist eternally. Able to appear to itself as all manner of “others.”
We must feel safe and able in order to enjoy life. In order to “do” life.
We must remind ourselves and each other to do whatever it takes to make ourselves believe that we are safe and able. We can and should help everyone feel safe and able. Then we can enjoy life and enjoy living and working with each other.
