I want to add some big picture perspective to this.
Our education system was revamped in the 1940s by the robber Barron's of that era. It was based on the Nazi/Prussian education system that heavily oppressed our somatic (body/emotions driven) intelligence. In doing so it stripped us of our self protection abilities.
Parents beay their children to make them sit still but really what it did make them learn they did not have ownership over their own bodies. It turned them into exploitable on every level.
We were taught not to defend ourselves and to obey anyone with any system power, even other children. At the same time we see the rise of narcissism and echoism and a distrust of those "different".
Our systems stripped of us of something else significant through this action. It taught us not to use or trust our big picture perspectives. Mental illness has now entered the big picture.
I was particularly destroyed because I was big picture gifted.
Are you are familiar with PDA, pathological demand avoidance. It is self protection that creatives have (body wisdom) to learn how to create.
The creatives were oppressed significantly in our systems because they are the hardest to turn into slaves for the upper class.
We have forgotten some of us are meant to create our own thing. This was simply disregarded and we were forced into the systems servitude, of we were not rich or had very insightful parents. I did not get those. But I became one.
My kids are aware of their full intelligence. They know they will have to create their own path in the future they are facing. I have gone out of my way to teach them how to use their body wisdom to navigate the unknown do they can protect themselves. This is really important as we enter increasing change and the paths we once were forced down disappear.
