Just How Distorted is our society?
Hey!
Most of my latest posts, whether they’re on our blog or social media are about Jean Leadloff’s book The Continuum Concept because it continues to have such a big impact on me. I can’t stop thinking and talking about it and recommending it to people.
These are just a few things I’ve been wondering about:
Do the so called ‘‘love languages' actually exist or did someone just come up with them as a result of people not being able to love because they haven’t received the love and attention they needed as an infant?
Love is like ones and zeros: You either love unconditionally or you don’t!
People who aren’t capable of giving love (or receiving it for that matter) try to make others believe they love them by doing things for them, making gifts, saying it or making ‘love’.
We could only have a discussion about this if you had read the book but what are your thoughts on this?
I know it seems like a depressing and almost offensive topic to talk about because it means I’m implying that most of us are only faking when it comes to loving someone but to be honest, that’s exactly what I’m saying. At least we’re not able to feel and see the love that is deep, deep down within us, hidden away and covered by too many painful experiences because we had to find a way to protect ourselves. This all resulted from our parents not knowing about the continuum concept and listening to the intellectually established rules of our distorted society that ‘experts‘ came up with, instead of using their instincts and intuition to raise us. We can’t blame our parents or even the experts because - as Jean Liedloff put it - we’re victims of victims who didn’t know better themselves.
To finish this subject with a bit more uplifting feel, Id’ like to say that it IS possible to heal your childhood wounds, be truly happy and give your children the unconditional love they deserve. Kids are very resilient and when you change they will too.
WHAT ELSE?
It also makes me wonder which other areas of our society are distorted and not true. How do we know we’re not just seeing something as ‘normal‘ because most of us behave that way even though we’d be so different if only we had received the unconditional love that almost seems as likely to happen as a unicorn walking in on our lives?
Today I finished reading the book and I came up with some new ideas for APTB. I will write them down in my next blog post so stay tuned and in touch.
Speak soon
Love (as much as I know to give hehe)
