I just need to talk, won't somebody listen?

The other day I tuned into Dr Phil Mc Graw, the focus on the show was to provide a wake-up call experience to two young boys who were already in trouble with the law ( DUI’s & Theft (alcohol related )

Most of the show took place in San Quentin prison where several inmates were showing these two young men and the world what prison is really like.

The one area that stuck out for me is when I heard repeatedly that they (inmates) had never had anyone to talk to when they were feeling confused, or upset as young men. They had no healthy mentors to look up to and to guide them.

For so many, old generational patterns just keep getting lived out over and over.It seems that we are only as sick as our secrets. Those areas of shock, pain, abandonment, betrayal and abuse to name a few that have not been dealt with.

The prisons in the US are full to overflow and we keep building more prisons. More than ever the youth need to talk and most of all be heard.

Does the world at large also need someone to talk to and to listen? Is that why computers, blogs, on line groups are so popular? Even with all of these technologies, are we really being heard? Are we really telling our “truth” healing our secrets?

Studies show that young children are not learning and developing interaction skills based on- and in -real time. They are living in a non reality, a virtual reality. hours and hours a day via computers, cell phone, ipods, etc.

Bruce Lipton author of ” Biology of Belief “ says conscious parenting, starts with awareness of ourselves. We must ask ourselves what happened in our lives (the sub conscious programs you got from childhood). These automatic behaviors are acquired from parent to parent generation to generation and must be healed.

We need to shift the belief that we are victims of circumstances beyond our control. If you tell a child it’s average and that’s the program, the child cannot exceed average because the brain will say, ‘this doesn’t make sense’. So no matter how hard that child tries it will unconsciously creates average.

So, how do we help the world heal, to create a place to talk and be heard, to educate, and feel supported?

The media, and all its off shoots. How about television teaching us useful information like, if we want to change our world we must change our mind. New Biology states that our minds control our genes, which creates experience, which creates society.
