Conscious Parenting
The majority of a person’s mindset and vision for life are formed in childhood. When a child is born, parents often have beautiful aspirations for them, such as success, stability, and happiness. However, most of us have a mistaken definition of what is truly good for a person’s life! This widespread misunderstanding creates a society that is not very happy—a society built on lives that do not understand themselves.
The environment that shapes a person, from the formation of a new baby to birth, growth, and adulthood, is vast, ranging from family to society. It all starts with the Mother!
From the moment a baby is conceived, the mother’s womb is a paradise, a warm nest where the baby takes shape. Therefore, the “heart” of the Mother needs to be pure for the child’s nest to be warm. To be clear, a Mother unconsciously transfers all her DNA to her child, if she does not live in mindfulness. An attitude of understanding oneself and others is the ultimate expression of a mother’s love for her child, rather than a love that does not come from wisdom. A mother’s blindness creates a child who lacks clarity, and a father’s ignorance lays the foundation for delinquent youth.
From an unclear beginning, the parent-child relationship often faces fundamental problems, which almost every family encounters: confusion, disagreement, and differences in mindset and language. As a result, the child becomes increasingly misunderstood and distant from what they call Home.
Upon reaching adulthood, society with its various environments and relationships will create new pressures. There, a child who has been obedient since childhood knows only to comply with the unspoken rules set by a society made up of unhappy individuals.
All of this creates a societal mechanism that exists through mutual cycles and constraints, generating survival pressures that are very evident today. Lives are repeated through fixed cycles: being born, being raised according to adults’ expectations, going to school, absorbing the collective mindset, graduating, working, pairing up, starting a family, having children, aging, and dying. Throughout this process, each role is carried out repetitively in the same manner: the child follows the trajectory of a child, the mother follows her own path, and the husband and father follow the same life cycle.
Throughout this survival process, each of us has buried and overlooked a vibrant inner resource, a dynamic treasure within every child! This is the core wisdom, the true intelligence of humanity, directly connected to the great wisdom of the universe—the mystery of life lies here!
To reach the boundless intellect granted uniquely to humankind by creation, a child needs to be free from the very beginning of their new life!
Observe a child who is free to explore, and they will amaze you endlessly, if you have the courage to loosen the grip of the "adult" within you and trust in the innate nature of your child. Being able to do this is a kind of wisdom for parents.
In recent years, by absorbing these ideas, many advanced methods of early childhood education have emerged. However, the endeavor of education cannot focus solely on children. To educate children with modern thinking, we must first change the mindset of the adults around them!
This is no easy task. Adults, with their deeply rooted foundations, have fixed lifestyles, ideologies, and perceptions. Change is difficult to achieve. Individual renewal within the larger society is a challenge! Who will dare to step out of the well-trodden paths?
Recently, the wave of mindfulness living has ignited a desire to change oneself so that "pre-shaped adults" can step out of the repetitive cycles of their lives by understanding themselves and breaking free from conventional thinking.
What do you see in the picture above?
I see a major reformation in societal consciousness, responding to the increasingly urgent need for individuals to change their perception, to break free from past constraints, and to liberate each person from within, unleashing the boundless capacity for labor and creativity hidden within each individual.
Times create heroes! Each era shapes its people. A world renewing itself from within will create new individuals with appropriate awareness. A person's true intellectual resources will be activated when they live with a profound understanding of themselves.
I was once a child who was strictly educated and managed, studied well, and graduated with a stable job. However, the emptiness from an unfulfilled sense drove me to abandon my old life and officially embark on a journey within myself, seeking answers to the voids in my life.
Eventually, I found the answer to why someone living a stable life still feels uneasy and empty inside.
Through self-exploration, I discovered a life gift that everyone possesses: the boundless wisdom that comes from a deep understanding within oneself!
It is the innate wisdom that a child missed, only to become the "pre-shaped adult" they are today.
If we, together with our children, step out of the confusing cycles of being pre-shaped adults, we can free ourselves and create a generation of children no longer bound. A world where children naturally unleash their boundless wisdom and live brilliant lives!
I believe that an insightful adult will raise a wise child. And two insightful adults will create a wise family. Many wise families will change the common perception of society, elevating life to a new level, the level of clarity that comes from the inner wisdom of humanity!
