The Inner Child is a Grumpy Old Man

What do you express in your life, your Inner Child or a Grumpy Old Man?
Do you recognize yourself?

Without belittling anyone, especially the elderly, whom I respect with all my soul. Although there are some “grumpy old men,” most elderly people are gentle and full of wisdom.

What we're going for. Everyone talks about the “inner child”, our true “self”, defining it, describing it, as an innocent being of pure light, the divine essence within us, who we really are.

The inner child is found in our Tan-tien or “Core Star”, that is the seat of our divine spark of unconditional love. In truth, it is, but the road back home is not easy at all.

In the healing process (the way back home, to ourselves), we will meet three grumpy old men, three injured children).

Your Inner Child suffers from Sorrows, Traumas and Frustrations.
Do you recognize yourself?

Have you ever thought about why we separate ourselves from ourselves, from our inner child, or do they separate us? What need would we have to separate ourselves from ourselves and why do we do it?

Society, culture, religions, our parents, first deceive us into believing that things must be a certain way for them to be good, for us to do well in life, for us to be someone and succeed, and then we They are filled with "no's", fears and impossible things, which do not allow us to achieve those things, be those ways, and even less "succeed in life" to become "someone".

The child educated, not in a positive/negative duality, but, rather, in a negative unity, learns to interpret a world in a way that will be cruel to himself.

Traumas do not exist if we are not taught to suffer traumas. The same thing happens with sorrows or frustrations. A negative education distresses, traumatizes and frustrates. Unconditional love is not taught, the child is not educated to live with love, the only thing that would avoid any type of suffering.

Not to mention the psychological, sentimental and emotional abuse that the child may suffer.

Understand that your Inner Child is Sick. Heal your life.
Do you recognize yourself?

The grumpy old man or "sorrowful inner child" will rebel against anyone who wants to love him unconditionally because what he believed to be love abandoned him. In this case, the child may not have felt loved enough, perhaps abandoned by who he believed loved him or perhaps he thought he was not worthy of being loved. We all have emotional shortcomings. The emotionally wounded inner child will be torn between love, fear, hate, interest, distrust, jealousy.

The "second grumpy old man" is the traumatized child who became upset when what he perhaps did at the time or happened to him was "something bad." Not living up to the circumstances, the parents' expectations, or simply being traumatized because they have been educated to do so, creates a self-conscious child full of shame, fear, and insecurities. This child compares himself with others and will use vanity, arrogance, and pride as masks, to appear who he believes he should be according to the upbringing instilled by his parents. He really is a failed child who lives looking for ugliness, flaws, errors, mistakes in others, to feel better about himself, and the worst thing is that he becomes a completely selfish being.

You're still on time. Don't settle for being a Grumpy Old Man or Old Woman

The "third grumpy old man" is a frustrated, and therefore angry, child. The repeated disappointments caused by those he believed loved him, and a method that perhaps once worked for him, taking advantage of the weakness of his parents, such as a tantrum, create an aggressive child full of distrust who, when he does not get what he wants, becomes aggressive. A child who kicks to get what he wants.

So, to find your inner child, you must first understand those three grumpy old men, accept them, heal them, re-educate them, and above all, love them unconditionally.

Remember that we all have a grumpy little old man inside us.
