We are all autistic

Autism is a developmental disorder that affects the brain's normal development.   It is characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. 

People think the same thoughts over and over.  They prefer one thing over another.  They continually talk about the same subjects.  Their behavior is repetitive.  You know their opinions and they seldom change.

People are not present in this moment to become aware of their cellular patterning so that something new can show up.  It sets us up for repetition. 

From birth we are programmed.  If a child were allowed to develop its nervous system without interference it would be reflective in their lives. From the moment we are born our nervous system is being impaired.  We are put on a schedule, put in front of a TV, given toys instead of given attention.  We are given answers instead of finding answers for ourselves.

When a child goes to school the child receives limited communication: "Have you done your homework?  Have you cleaned your room?"  The child better has an answer that pleases the parent.  How many children, especially teenagers, can be open with their parents? 

People do things the same way every day, they have to-do lists to make sure its always the same. 

People behave decorously, they have programmed answers and programmed behaviors, a very limited existence.  

People without bodies

 

When you are not in your body you are not at home.  You are nowhere to be found. 

You allow your mind to abuse your body by forcing it to do things.   Let your body move your body and life will be gentle.   You will always be where you need to be and have what you need.  Your body always knows what needs to be taken care off and your mind often overrides it.    Your home is your body.  When your mind is in control you are beating the living daylights out of your existence.

Notice your body.  Is it relaxed?  How is your breathing?  Do you hold your breath?  When you relax your body you turn control over to your body.

Letting your body make decisions is scary because you have to come out of hiding.  I never know what I am going to do until I do it.  That way I am always present in this moment and not planning the future moment.

I never have a To-Do list.  I got married that way and divorced, I recently moved that way, everything ran smoothly because people are always where they are supposed to be, doing exactly what they are supposed to do to support me.
