Sylvie Imelda Shene: Wow, it has been two years already since I published my book!

M B: And on that day, life as you knew it was over as well as the lives of every soul who dared reading it and are forever transformed. Thanks to you and Ed Sweet for daring. Congratulations! Life carries on...

Sylvie Imelda Shene, Thank you for your lovely comment, Martine. This book would never have been possible without Ed Sweet's daring to work with me and his writing expertise. 

It’s not because it’s my book, but it’s an urgency for the world to pay attention to it, together with Alice Miller’s books. The conversation about the effects of childhood repression in our society needs to start happening in the stage of the world, sooner rather than later, if we want to save ourselves and humanity from falling off the cliff and committing mass suicide. 

Everyone is trying to change the world at the surface, especially so many people using the political machine and religion to manipulate the masses, making things worse in the long run. And no one wants to look at the root causes of how we got here! Into this messed-up world! It’s very frustrating because when trying to change the world at the surface, no matter what people do, the changes will always be superficial and temporary.

"If the repression stays unresolved, the parents’ childhood tragedy is unconsciously continued on in their children” Alice Miller (The Drama of the Gifted Child: The search for the True Self) Page 23

Also, these words by Alice Miller that I quote in my book could not be truer:

“It is not true that evil, destructiveness,
and perversion inevitably form part of
human existence, no matter how often this
is maintained. But it is true that we are
daily producing more evil and, with it, an
ocean of suffering for millions that is
absolutely avoidable. When one day the
ignorance arising from childhood
repression is eliminated and humanity
has awakened, an end can be put to the
production of evil.”
— Alice Miller, Banished Knowledge, p. 143

"Those children who are beaten will, in turn, give beatings, those who are intimidated will be intimidating, those who are humiliated will impose humiliation, and those whose souls are murdered will murder. 

...Children who are lectured to, learn how to lecture; if they are admonished, they learn how to admonish; if scolded, they learn how to scold; if ridiculed, they learn how to ridicule; if humiliated, they learn how to humiliate; if their psyche is killed, they will learn how to kill--the only question is who will be killed: oneself, others, or both." -- Alice Miller's above excerpt from Pedagogy Fills the Needs of Parents, Not of Children.
