Recently,
during a radio interview, the host asked me about the section
in the Loving Things Journal (www.lovingthingsjournal.com)
about raising children to make everyone right. I explained that
in the beginning it was an experiment that I was intrigued with.
I had read that if you could raise one generation of children
with unconditional love, you would eradicate violence. In the
world we live in, to be right, ultimately means making someone
else wrong. I began playing around with the idea with my children.
I explained to them that it is "soooooooo easy" to
join in with others in like-minded thinking and make someone
else wrong. In other words, it is easy to be a bully. On the
other hand, making someone right takes a lot of patience, intelligence
and creative thinking, but ultimately you win, because you gain
a sense of peace, happiness and self-confidence that no one
can ever take away from you. My son, Sam, was playing high school
basketball at the time, and came home from school, whining about
the new coach. As I began listening, I realized that everyone
was making this new guy wrong, and therefore it could become
a perfect experiment for Sam. I suggested that when he went
to school the next day that he look for everything that was
right about his coach. To my delight, he arrived home from school
the next day with this story: At the beginning of the practice,
the coach grabbed the rack of basketballs and hurled it across
the gym. Instead of joining in with his teammates and making
the coach wrong, he ran up to the coach and said, "Was
that fun?" The coach called him aside, began laughing and
said, "yes, but I can only do that once, for effect."
Now, the rest of the team could see the new coach in a different
light, and they all started making him right. The radio host
thought this idea was groundbreaking and asked if it was hard
to do. I told him that in the beginning, it is so different
from what we have learned and what we have taught, but within
a short time, the kids are looking at the world differently.
According
to "Take Me To Truth, Undoing the Ego": "Overlooking
error in others is the most powerful transformation gift, which
has the potential to teach Love in its purest form. It does
this by removing the blocks to the awareness of Love's presence.
At the core of each and ever human being is the desire to be
loved unconditionally."
It
works this way: in a work, school or home situation, the ego-self
always urges you to see yourself as right. By looking at the
world this way, a loss of peace naturally occurs and it always
makes someone else wrong, or inferior. Most of us are addicted
to being right, at any cost. As you begin breaking this down
through Eratfi!, the world is now approached with a newfound
perspective that you may not even realized exists.
Eratfi!
is one small step toward living in the world more peacefully.
For more information regarding a practical and fun application
to retrain yourself and your children to a lifelong habit of
making kind and loving choices, please see the Loving Things
Journal here.
Your family will learn naturally, to make paying it forward
and random acts of kindness, a part of their daily lives.
Thank
you so much.
