THE PHENOMENAL WORLD AND ITS IMPLICATIONS

Hello, my dear friends of life in my heavenly Turkey, whose health is precious, whose hearts are kind, whose souls are beautiful, and who are full of awareness.

As we promised, we continue with articles on child-family health, communication, and human relationships. Today, I want us to approach the subject from the very beginning, to talk about life, and to have a conversation.

In the past weeks, we discussed socially traumatic and distressing events. I wanted to share some important topics for maintaining a healthy social life. Are you aware? We are now magnifying our anxieties. We hide everything within ourselves. We nurture and feed them.

As life continues with all its complexities, the child within us cries. And no one hears its voice. We actually grow up with these voices. We become grown men and beautiful women. Yet, the most obvious factor determining our behaviors is the perception we carry from our childhood. How we see and what we hear about life is important.

When was the last time you were alone with yourself?

How long has it been since you last spoke with your inner voice?

Because our behaviors, habits, definitions, perceptions, and hundreds of other cognitive details come from the past. Whether we are aware of it or not, this scientific truth is locked in our phenomenal world. So, what about its implications?

If we often say, ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way—I unintentionally hurt you,’ then we need to confront our inner voices at some point. We might be teachers, doctors, lawyers, or engineers. We might also be individuals who have never received any formal education or attended school. Whether you are educated or not, even if you earn a doctorate on the other side of the world, your childhood is as close to you as a breath.

There are hundreds of issues that negatively affect the upbringing of our children. I can list dozens of behaviors we do consciously but ‘unintentionally.’ What if I told you that a large part of these behavioral models are our own childhood memories and learned behaviors? As I write this article, I am reading the emails you sent. I congratulate the brave hearts of both victimized and regretful parents. Confronting oneself is a huge step. Topics we will cover in the coming weeks include: mistreating children—divorce and its effects on children—how individuals who become mothers at an early age affect their children—anxiety and excitement in children—mistakes in child education—and the consequences of improper nutrition in children.

KEY AWARENESS
Actually, your questions teach us, and what we write points to a common theme: ‘Awareness.’ These questions and answers are a reflection of societal aneurysm. An individual can identify with themselves at any age. Everyone can be aware of their existence, their being, and their purposes in life. We nurture what exists within us and project it outward. Nothing more, nothing less…
