ACCEPTANCE.... I was musing this mornig upon waking about the essential nature of acceptance Most modern humans are seeking acceptance from at least one person in this lifetime Acceptance makes us feel wanted, it makes us feel loved, its makes us feel as if we belong As with most other emotional elements in life acceptance is introduced to us by Mother/Yeye/Iya Those of us who felt accepted by our mothers just as we are, know where to look for unconditional love, we know where to find it because we are familiar with what it feels like Those of us whose mothers did not make us feel accepted, do not feel loved or wanted are familiar with feelings of rejection, of hurt, of non love and non acceptance and ususally spend a great deal of our lives unlearning how to find and participate in situations that perpetuate those feelings Mothers....love and accept your babies Let them know that their birth , whatever its circumstances is NO ACCIDENT that they are here one EarthMotherOnile ON PURPOSE and therefore WITH PURPOSE stretch our your hands to them as often as possible embrace them whenever you are granted the opportunity smile at them make them feel welcomed in the world IT IS ESSENTIAL Further....a child who feels accepted at home, by Mother also knows how to accept others This is a child who knows how to love, knows tolerance, can accept others different from himself and therefore is well suited to live life properly While reading about the raping of the rainforests in South America I read of an elder Amazonian woman who spoke at a huge meeting the indigenous people had called with one of the logging corporations...as the native Amazonians tried to get the logging company to see how barbaric the practice of cutting down thousands of trees was and the loggers were trying to explain how in Western society money was reason enough to committ all manner of heinous acts...the elder Mother stepped forward and said to the loggers simply "Your mothers did not hug you enough..." The elder Mother was able to see that these loggers and the leaders of their corporation did not feel a deep abiding acceptance that comes from being loved properly by your Mother Write your post here. |
