  1. We look for safety because when children we did not feel safe. The status and resources create the mirage to match the hypnosis. Then we wake up and realize that they were not giving us anything but the opportunity to wake up to the reality that there is no safety and that we are capable to be with the circumstances and not look for protection.

  2. I was about 8 years old and was visiting playing with 2 children ( one older and one younger than me). We were happily playing when we heard intense threatening and yelling in the bedroom. I jumped and was ready to go help the mother and her newborn child. The two children coiled and pulled me to coward with them under the table. I told them: “ you’d mom needs help let’s go help her.” Their reply: no. Be quiet, shhh, stay here. I remember looking at them surprised and confused. A part of me knew that I could not help without them After the beating stopped I saw the mother severely bruised and the father left the house. I was a girl and within me there was the immediate response to fight and defense someone vulnerable. I was not agreeable at all, the beat it out of me and that is how I learned powerlessness. I think sone children have that fire within them and the culture makes you agreeable.
