“We Need One Another!”
Re-evaluation Counseling provided the opportunity for over two hundred raised-poor people from all over the world to meet. It was a wonderful moment for me. The August 2020 Raised-Poor Workshop was led by Gwen Brown, International Liberation Reference Person for Raised-Poor People.
My highlights included the following:
- We can overcome fear and be good leaders no matter what class we are in or from. We raised-poor people have been lied to about our intelligence. We are intelligent, generous, and immensely creative. After many centuries of our being hurt, this is a very interesting time for us to liberate our minds and help others.
- Many terrifying things have happened to us, and being prevented from discharging has kept us from taking over from those who have subjected us to a lower status. World leaders have manipulated us so that they can stay in power and make money a little longer.
- We have to identify our distresses and look for a way to discharge them. As long as they are there, they will keep confusing us. We must discharge the effects of being raised poor and assume leadership. Parents are leaders. What we show to our children is what they will show to society.
- Writing is a way to speak for the voiceless. We were encouraged to write to the RC raised-poor e-mail discussion list.
- Being a support group leader was a whole new experience for me. Gwen suggested that if we only achieve “just” listening, we should be happy. This helped me throughout the group sessions. In our group we discussed and worked on the importance of discharging, childhood experiences of being raised poor, and leadership.
- We were charged with surrounding ourselves with good relationships. We can reach out to people. This is a critical time; feelings of depression are everywhere. We need one another! We need one another! We need one another!
