Inner Child & Masculine Father

Integrate the inner child and develop the masculine father.

The inner child is the emotional side of your personality.

The side that wants things instantly.

The side that can’t be lied to because it doesn't understand words.

It doesn’t understand justifications.

It doesn’t understand lies.

The emotional side simply wants and responds.

And then there's the masculine father.

The disciplinarian.

The man who says ”you’re not ready yet.”

The man who says ”I understand you are struggling, and I understand this is hard, but you have to keep going.” 

The man who directs and guides the inner child.

Without the father, the child runs around in circles, or becomes too scared to act, paralyzed into inaction. 

And without integrating the inner child, the father may live a ”successful life” in terms of materialism, but he only exists, and does not truly live and feel.

You need both if you want to reach true harmony. 

The sensitive side which is guided by the firm side.
