RE: My Issues with Authority
Hi there! Thanks a lot for your profound elaboration. I appreciate a lot the insight of a mother on this topic. I think what you mentioned towards the end of your text is something that I value tremendously. It's integrity. Only follow instructions from someone who practices what he preaches. You seem like such a self-reflected person. I'm constantly looking for new approaches to improve my practice. What tools helped you the most in gaining all these insights? Cheers and thanks again for your valuable feedback :)
What helped me were questions from others who were interested in my maturation. It was critique I received from people I trusted or chose to trust. As well as kind behavior I observed from someone to another one. I learned a lot during my education in becoming a consultant for social affairs. I don't know if that were the exact words but our teacher asked us: "You sure you act as a person of authority or as a person of need when you command your children?"
Regarding parenting I learned a lot from Jesper Juul, a Danish family therapist who said: "Many parents do play their parenthood. They do not fill out their roles as parents but turn it into an act. They treat children as if they were their projects". I felt to be caught myself in that. It was a shocking and hurting insight. Guess, my mom also played a huge part in it as she never questioned her authority over me. The total lack of an analytical mind saved her from all the insecurities of modern people. It had its downsides, that is also true.
My daily helpers are buddhist monks and nuns to which I listen on youtube. Their lectures are quite humorous and wise. Great teacher is my son. :)
A quote I also heard: "The biggest favor you can do to your parents is not to create them."
I think that counts also for children.
Where do you take from what supports you?
Meditation :) Kundalini Yoga. A lot of breathwork to keep my ability to observe at a high level. There were many great teachers and classes I learnt from. I think my favorites were Brendon Burchard, Eckhart Tolle and Mindvalley as a whole.
While we're at it: Are you going to this year‘s steemfest in Krakow?
I‘m doing a workshop on how to get into a state of flow. I‘m going to share some of the essential tools I collected in recent years to empower the individual. Since you belong to my followers, I wanted to ask you first :) Can you make it?

Oh, you are going to Steemfest. How nice! No, I am sorry, I won't be there. I wish I could. But thank you a lot for inviting me.
I bet you are going to have a good time there. Tell me later on how it worked out and what the response of the people was. Are you on discord?
I don't know Brendon Burchard, but will look him up.
Good Sunday for you & til next time.
Send some love, too:)
Well, it depends on the amount of interested people for the workshop. So far there's not enough interest. I will be in Hamburg before and would go there just to do the workshop. I just read about discord. Is there a group I would fit in well? :)
What a coincidence - I am located in Hamburg.
