We are fully conscious Beings at birth but gradually become numbed and spiritually asleep as we grow older. Premasudha describes how the West's customs around child-rearing are hurting us and how we can learn from the ways of childrearing in simpler societies.

I want to explain why there's so much pain around and maybe why you're in emotional distress.

And the answer is cultural and psychological.

So,

You know,

When you were born,

You were this little Buddha baby,

A Krishna baby,

A Mohammed baby,

A Jesus baby.

You had that very high consciousness.

You were very connected to,

You know,

Heaven for a better word.

You were really connected to your soul.

And as I've talked about before,

Babies have this soft spot right in the crown chakra,

Their fontanelle.

And even the bones of the head don't close over until about 18 months or even a bit later,

Which is about when the ego comes on.

But back to the point of birth.

So there you were with really your full consciousness.

Now,

In simpler societies,

The baby's met with total love and care.

The mother receives a lot of care at birth and afterwards.

And it's understood that for about six months afterwards,

The woman is still in the process of integrating this experience.

So nothing in simpler societies,

They have very few demands for the young mother,

The early mother.

And the baby is,

You know,

With the mom pretty much 24 seven.

And even when she goes back to work,

Maybe the baby will still be attached to her body really till about two.

So there's this incredible grounding in safety and connection.

And this enables the child to keep the connection to their soul.

What we do is,

You know,

We'll in the usual,

You know,

In the hospital,

Maybe they're bright lights,

The baby's shocked really at birth,

Unless,

You know,

There's a birthing room or a water birth,

Or something's being done to mitigate this.

But the baby immediately gets a shock of,

Oh,

It's,

It's dangerous.

It's,

I'm losing my safety.

And,

You know,

Maybe he isn't with his mom all the time.

So even though,

Right at birth,

All the sort of patterns from thousands and thousands of years of human experience are for the child just to be with the mom.

And you know,

We're doing our best with this.

I mean,

Lots of times moms have full access to their babies.

But still,

You know,

And then,

You know,

It also depends on what happened with the mom during the pregnancy,

Like the baby will have registered you as a little munchkin would have registered how wanted you were.

And also,

You know,

How stressed your mom was,

Because that stress was transmitted to you.

And,

You know,

Maybe it's not her fault that she's in stress.

It's like,

Really,

These things,

There's no blame.

It's,

There's no point any blame at all.

But we just need to wake up to what we're doing.

Because the cost of it is,

We're getting so alienated from our truth.

And we're walking around so numb to the information in our hearts that would actually help us.

And we're becoming scared of it.

Increasingly,

Because,

You know,

Really kids were,

You know,

The Hawaiian kahuna with whom I studied used to say,

You know,

If you take care of children's needs to six,

Then you can let go of the hand,

Which is means that basically,

They've got a very stable beginning,

And you can let go of the hand and they can start to become independent,

You know,

At a pace they can manage.

But what we do is we,

We quickly go back to work,

We so neglect the early stages,

We put little munchkins in with tired caregivers who are dealing with maybe 15,

20 other kids from all kinds of different homes with different problems.

We're putting this together and not,

This is conducive to creating thick shells on us psychologically.

And so what we're doing in the West is we're not taking care of this early time,

We don't put kids really,

We first,

We talk as if we do,

But actually,

We put basically a lot,

Almost everything else ahead of that,

Certainly the pursuit of wealth ahead,

And just a lot ahead of,

Of,

Of our kids.

You know,

There are articles on a working mom and she needs to stay beautiful and also see her friends and,

You know,

Be a mate to her husband,

And it's sort of like,

Well,

How much time is there for kids at all?

So we're,

You know,

It's no surprise that the kids are,

The teachers are all reporting that the kids coming up,

That there are real difficulties in behavior and also in,

You know,

Their scholastics,

Because,

You know,

Sad kids,

It's hard for sad kids to learn.

I just want to spell this out,

Because,

You know,

What happened to you as a baby is,

It's imprinted,

And we tend to keep repeating it.

So if we felt unsafe as a little kid and that it wasn't safe to really bond with anybody,

Because really nobody was bonding with us,

Well,

We create this.

And I think it's no surprise that our culture is getting increasingly money-oriented,

Because it is what we do when our hearts are broken.

It's like the studies with the monkeys,

The monkeys that were not well bonded to their moms.

I learned this in Psych 101,

That were not well bonded.

They spent their time hoarding,

Basically,

Obsessing about their bottles and their blankets,

And not being able to make human relationships with others.

So I just want to spell all this out and say,

Look,

It's healable.

It really,

In a way,

It doesn't matter what happened to you as a little kid,

Even,

You know,

Really even horrific things,

If it is all healable,

If an individual turns and faces it,

And in the company of somebody who has done that level of healing,

But maybe not that many people have,

Because,

You know,

We're so alienated,

Really,

We're doing trainings for,

You know,

Psychology and psychiatry with so much emphasis on the scholastics.

And it's,

You know,

The healing,

If somebody has got,

Is in their head,

And not connected to truth,

And also maybe not well bonded themselves,

How can they help anybody?

We need revolution,

I think,

In how we're dealing with our children.

And we need to understand that they're little Buddhas,

And that the trauma,

When we are not met in that loving,

That climate of love and safety that every child needs,

A child will lose connection to their soul.

So this may be what happened to you,

On some level,

You lost connection to your truth.

And we go around feeling like there's something wrong,

But we don't know how to heal it.

And there are not that many people around,

At this point,

Who have done deep enough work to recover their connection to their souls.

Because,

You know,

In the West,

We almost don't even think the soul really exists.

You know,

So it's kind of hard to heal into your truth if you're denying that that we're souls in human form.

But,

You know,

The little Buddha baby,

Or the little Krishna baby,

Or Christ baby,

Mohammed baby,

The spiritual master returns to that level of innocence.

And then they walk around and just share the love.

And the East has the spiritual traditions to support this,

But we in the West,

You know,

We don't we don't have too many spiritual traditions apart from maybe going to church once a week,

And having a group high from,

You know,

Joining together and singing,

But that rapidly dissipates.

These little babies,

They need a lot of holding,

A lot of talking to,

A lot of love.

And if you didn't get it,

You can give it to yourself in the same way that you gave it to the Buddha baby.

If you didn't get it,

You can give it to yourself,

And this is actually why I make these videos,

To let you know that it exists,

And maybe you can feel it coming over the ethers.

For all the little munchkins that didn't get the care they needed.

But,

You know,

The universe,

It's a loving universe,

And it is biased in your favor.

So,

You know,

If we get wounded,

You know,

And who has perfect parents,

You know,

Or caregivers,

So we all get wounded,

The universe is always giving you circumstances,

Inviting you to heal.

And healing can feel scary,

But it's scarier not to heal,

Really.

Yeah,

There's a lot of love coming to you.

You know,

I had a client who experienced some of the walls that she made as a little one.

She re-experienced them,

And she re-experienced this pain in her heart,

In her belly,

This pain and tension.

Coming up for a complex,

It was a complex coming up to heal,

A complex coming from early childhood,

And she went into terrible,

Terrible sorrow,

Feeling it,

And feeling how lost and alone and separated she felt.

She cried for 10 minutes,

And really,

On some levels,

Wanted to jump off a bridge,

But it didn't last long in any way.

You know,

In the East,

They say,

When we do something like that,

We still have to face it the next life,

So we,

It's better to stick with this life and cycle through.

So,

Anyway,

She felt all this pain,

And then she found peace.

It just came to her.

This was in 10 minutes.

So,

Going from 10 minutes feeling this incredible sorrow to then this peace,

And you see,

Part of her soul come back.

It isn't even really that.

It's that her,

The wall to her true intelligence fell,

Dissolved,

And she was able to come back to her true self.

True intelligence fell,

Dissolved,

Because she felt the pain of it,

And the pain that came from her child self.

Do you understand?

This is how the kids feel.

They're feeling the sorrow,

And feeling like,

Oh,

My knees aren't getting that,

But they can't express it.

They don't have the words for it.

So,

What happens is,

Then we were faced with healing in adulthood.

I just feel the West,

We just so need to wake up to how alienated and despairing we're getting,

Because the love of the universe is there for anybody who's willing to open up to it,

And it will seem scary,

And it will seem scary,

Because your body's been programmed towards alienation.

But I'll tell you,

If you're sincere and you're patient,

You can heal anything.

This is from my own experience,

I speak from my own experience,

And also over 30 years of helping people heal the most horrific stories.

So,

May this video,

May you just feel heartened and even more connected to your truth,

And just know that it is possible to recover your connection to your truth.

Takes some guts,

But more of us are going to have to do it.

Yeah,

Or else things are going to get more alienated,

More nutty.

I had a client that phoned me up and said that when she first started listening to my videos,

She didn't really understand what I was talking about,

But she felt so much love that she kept going,

And that now she's beginning to understand.

You see,

This is what happens,

It's like the Buddha baby would totally understand what I'm talking about,

But we lose that connection to that truth.

But if you just keep listening and steering this way,

You start reconnecting to your truth,

And then all of what I'm saying actually just becomes so obvious,

You wonder how you could have not understood it,

Or thought it was nutty,

Which is another thing I get,

Until people spend some time just opening to what I'm trying to communicate,

Or what's wanting to come through me.

Yeah,

Okay,

You know,

All my love is coming,

And I am,

I'm walking energetically with anybody who needs help,

And they're far more powerful beings around assisting anybody who calls on me.

Yeah,

And it can feel very scary when we're feeling the extent of our wounding,

But then when we connect up to our truth,

You go like,

Wow,

It's so worth it.

You go,

Wow,

I get what she's talking about.

Okay,

Bless your hearts.
