Thanks for the comments!

It's always great to hear from parents who are aware of important their role is to their children's development. We all need a solid foundation to build upon...unfortunately so many of us have to slowly rework that foundation later in life. And you're certainly correct that it doesn't matter what other people think, appearances are over-rated after all.

Really intelligently expressed!
As a parent of 4 children myself and being a former child, I’ve found that most parents are more worried about how the child “reflects” on them than their child’s development. Myself and my husband never gave 2 hoots what people thought of our parenting as long as they were happy and well disciplined as people. We saw ourselves as the backdrop and support to their lives and still do.
A really wonderful article.

Seems that quite a few people went through that sort of change between 1999 and 2001. For me it was like waking up and at the same time having my feet kicked from under me. It was a very strange time for a while.

Recently a friend of mine went through a similar process. Except for him it happened very suddenly – I believe it was effectively a Kundalini Awakening. But the problem was that he thought he was loosing his mind (totally understandable). Anyway to cut a story short – he had a lot of issues which finally landed him at the hospital. After that he was put onto medication.

It’s sad, but I guess that is just the way it goes sometimes. Unfortunately the modern world is too entrenched in a physical / mechanical perspective.

On a brighter note; I am regularly starting to come across people who have a more spiritual outlook on the world. So step-by-step there does appear to be a growing awareness.

Wow. My ‘change’ happened around the same time, mid-1999. I was always a strange kid too, but it was Taoism that jolted me from my stupor those eight years ago, in my early 30s. Very similar though – another worldview suddenly clicked and along with it came a flood of new understanding about the world; which I kind of knew as a child but didn’t have the language or teaching to really grasp.

I love when you say you realized you didn’t know – a good Taoist knows he doesn’t know. A great feat indeed!!
