A power that gives you a stronger connection to the energy of life. With the ADD\/ADHD brain you sense things, you have a <strong>good intuition<\/strong>, you know things purely because you sense it, you are wise. As an ADD'er\/ADHD'er you are not made to reason everything from the mind but you have a lot of knowledge already available purely because you make a connection with the subconscious that is incomprehensible to others. They are also called new age children.<\/p>\n<p>For much of the population, it is no problem to slowly <strong>to be programmed<\/strong> by what everything and everyone tells you in your life. They are made with a brain which is easily programmed with all the beliefs of our system. Many things are taken for truth because all these people with the \"normal brain\" live from their minds.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, when you live only with the mind, you are also not open to what your feelings, your soul and your <strong>instinct<\/strong> told you. This is very good for a society to develop. After all, if everyone had the 'ADD\/ADHD brain', it would be very difficult to develop a working system. This would become a chaotic place. But it is also important that a small part of the population does have this power.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The current school system and ADD \/ ADHD<\/h3>\n<p>So the problem is that we are told from childhood how everything works, how everything should be, how it fits together. As an ADD\/ADHD person, this is not understandable. We don't need to be told because we have this deeper connection with the energy of life. Because of this, we sense that things are different as told by people living from the \"normal brain\". We know things are different from what we are told. However, we have to fit into that picture at all costs like the rest of the class. We have to follow all instructions exactly as we are told. But we fail to do so because we simply know better and are not meant to evolve that way.<\/p>\n<p>This ensures <strong>deep frustrations<\/strong> which are thus developed from childhood. So it is also not surprising to consider that people with the so-called <a title=\"ADD\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/add-symptoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ADD<\/a> or ADHD brain in many cases, eventually become entangled and develop all kinds of psychological symptoms. So ADD and ADHD can also easily develop into a disorder, if we continue to treat children with theta brain in this way. Thus, they also lose their beautiful powers they carry with them.<\/p>\n<p>Have you never noticed how calm ADDs and ADHDs become when they enter an environment that does cater to them?<\/p>\n<p>Day in and day out, as an AD(H)D sufferer, you have to fit into the picture, a picture our brain is simply not meant for.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>An ADD and ADHD person does not need a blind guide stick<\/h3>\n<p>The way children with the ADD and <a href=\"https:\/\/adhdblog.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ADHD<\/a> brain can be compared to giving someone who can see a guide stick for the blind.<\/p>\n<p>Day in and day out, we have to close our eyes to the deep connection to our strength. Like others, on the other hand, we do not need a stick to walk. We can see. Unfortunately, our behaviour is seen as annoying and tiresome, this while we are just frustrated and don't understand that everyone needs a blind cane. We are placed in a world in which we cannot develop. Indeed, day by day, it becomes a struggle for survival. Read the inspiring story of the\u00a0<a title=\"The misplaced eagle\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/the-misplaced-eagle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eagle<\/a>\u00a0What that did to him.<\/p>\n<p>It's like putting an eagle in a henhouse. That eagle starts doubting itself more and more. Why can't I concentrate on what I am being told to do. The chickens don't seem to have a problem with it. Those just do as they are told. Those can easily be programmed. The eagle starts doubting himself more and more, slowly closing his eyes to his wonderful gift. He becomes increasingly insecure, stressed and depressed.<\/p>\n<p>Provided we get medication, which closes our eyes to our power, we will not need this blind guide stick. We feel how things work, we know there is another way. We don't need to be told everything as it works for others. Then it may be said that ADDs and ADHDs have poor concentration but you are also demanding something from them that they are just not made for.<\/p>\n<p>Their soul, feeling, intuition, instinct is so much more highly developed because their theta brain is continuously connected to this flowing powerful energy source. We know many things better, are stubborn, don't listen, are easily bored etc. So logical, our brain craves adventure, interesting stuff, thrills<strong>. <\/strong>You don't let an eagle become a battery cage after all.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>A blind world<\/h3>\n<p>For an ADD and ADHD person, it is like being born into a blind world. The normal brain needs a blind guide stick for everything. So for them, this system is brilliant. From childhood, they are handed a blind guide stick. At school, they are slowly programmed and thus learn a lot of knowledge that they store in the brain. Thank goodness it works that way for them otherwise they wouldn't make it. They don't have the deeper connection with their soul that tells them how things work. They need this system.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, this is not the reason why ADDs and ADHDs are on this planet. We are not blind, we don't need this blind guide stick. You may now understand how hugely frustrating it has been for us. When we were about 5 years old, we were pushed day in and day out to close our eyes and our <strong>force<\/strong> to suppress. We had to take control of our blind stick at all costs and we had to turn off our intuition and feelings. Why? Simply because that is not understood by all these ignorant people. Not that we are better, it is very important to have these people in society too but that there are other people too should be recognised.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that to this day, ADD and ADHD has not been proven to be a disorder. Frequent ADHD and ADD research has never been able to confirm dot! It only looks at the other functioning of the brain, the other brain activity and dopamine processing. Which is indeed demonstrable mat what does that actually say? Nothing at all.<\/p>\n<p>The way labels like ADD and ADHD are currently handled and viewed is, in my opinion, totally wrong and out of control. There should be a different system that singles out children with special brains. These children should be educated in an environment that is familiar to them. An environment they understand, when you do this from an early age you will see what tremendously brilliant children you can develop. They can become brilliant people who are truly capable of creating a better world. These people should be given the chance to develop their strengths instead of being convinced that they have a disorder like the <a title=\"the misplaced eagle with ADHD\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/the-misplaced-eagle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eagle<\/a> in the example already mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, for the time being, we are being pushed to fit into the picture with all its frustrations and consequences. Our brains need to wake up so that our power is switched off, if need be with medication. Then we can close our eyes to the power and join in with the rest. So that medication may help but the question is whether that is what we are for? It can possibly be a step to climb out of a valley but using this for the rest of your life? Then we are aligned with the rest and can join in. Is that what an ADD or ADHD person was brought to earth for? Think for a moment of all the <a title=\"The successful ADD&#039;er and ADHD&#039;er\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/the-successful-add-adhd-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">celebrities with ADHD \/ ADD.<\/a>\u00a0Many of them do not even use medication. Why? Because they have found their calling. If you find something you can pour your full creativity and passion into, then your ADD \/ ADHD will start expressing itself as a gift and only the positive sides will be highlighted.<\/p>\n<p>If you think long enough that there is something wrong with you you will automatically start believing that you really need that medication. When you do develop yourself as an ADD or ADHD sufferer, you will find that you really don't need medication. Go and play sports more often and do what you find interesting. A simple job is simply not for you, your soul is crying out for more!<\/p>\n<p>When you find your calling, people will begin to see your gift and energy as a tremendous source of inspiration. The roles will then finally be reversed!<\/p>\n<p>But sometimes it can be supportive to (temporarily) take remedies that ensure you don't get bogged down by all the things you have to do in life. This allows you to keep a better overview of life and you will possibly be happier because you don't always have to be on your toes. My preference then is not pharmaceutical drugs. Certainly not because it has been shown that there is a very good alternative. Want to know more about natural support as an alternative to ritalin.

I couldn't listen to the teacher, didn't find it all interesting, I was drawing, looking for action, looking outside etc. Anything that could stimulate my brain even a little bit, I was looking for that. I made a mess of it, enjoyed being sent out of class more than stupidly listening to that brain ge programming. I really didn't understand anything about school, what was I doing there, everyone seems to listen to that lame bullshit so easily.<\/p>\n<p>Like the eagle, I thought, \"is this it now? Is this now what I am on this earth for, so boring, no excitement? I didn't understand anything at all. People seemed to have no deeper connection with their souls. They were continuously so awake which made them so open to being programmed. I felt so different, my intuition\/instincts were constantly in connection with my brain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-image-4163\" title=\"ADD and ADHD at school - Stress and irritability\">In primary school, I still held up reasonably well. I got away with my behaviour. Fortunately, I could let off steam there and it was quite fun. Especially in the breaks, I could find my feet. I climbed on the roof of the school, in trees etc. With friends in the street, we were also outside every day and had the greatest fun. That time was fantastic!<\/p>\n<p>In high school, however, I had to give in. It was no longer possible to continue like this. Again, I was more concerned with getting expelled. I was looking for action, I was going crazy in class. This can't be true people, can it? Sitting in a chair for hour after hour listening to this nonsense, where did I end up? Are you all sometimes a bunch of computers who don't think for yourselves? Every time something was explained, I didn't know what was expected of me. Always I was again the one who had not listened. Like the eagle, I looked for the thrills, for the adventure but I got no responses back from others. I became more and more lonely and depressed. Is this now what life has to offer?<\/p>\n<p>Yet somewhere deep inside me, I always managed to retain the feeling that I was not crazy. After all, I had so many talents and could do so much, it just couldn't be that there was something wrong with me. My brain wasn't made for all that nonsense. All that nonsense talk that is taken as convincing truth by the \"normal brain\" and stored directly in a lobe somewhere in the brain. That way of acquiring knowledge does not involve feeling\/instinct or intuition. The teacher tells us so, so it is so. I have always had my own view on everything. Very stubborn perhaps as I was often told, but in my opinion a very good trait.<\/p>\n<p>Intelligence, in my opinion, comes not only from the mind of your brain but also from your soul. The soul drives the body and brain. That way how you sense things and the development of your intuition, that is in my opinion a much greater intelligence than just blindly storing everything somewhere in the brain and then doing nothing with that knowledge. I call it polluting the brain.<\/p>\n<p>When you have strongly developed feelings, you can achieve so much. You just know how to do things, you feel it and you can often do things right away provided people don't start telling you how to do it, because then we don't succeed.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, I described that I always felt different, as if I had this deeper awareness that made me perceive differently for my case. I couldn't understand why others didn't have this. Every time, I was forced to do things the way I was told to do them. I didn't understand, kept doing things wrong and it all took 10 times as long for me to master something. That came across as pretty stupid. However, it turned out time and again that when I didn't follow instructions, but did things exactly as I felt they should be done, I was 10 times faster than others. I mastered things immediately. Had trouble with few things, I understood everything immediately, got everything right away and was often the best at many things. At that point, there were no limits for me. As if I already possess all the knowledge to be able to do something. I just feel it, I see it in front of me and then I execute it. That's that power of the theta or ADD \/ ADHD brain. Quite logical that we are so easily bored. We are eagles, hosted by programmed chickens (Seen as a metaphor!);(with all due respect, by the way, to all the people who don't have the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/brainwaves\/\">thetabrain<\/a> possess; This predominant group of the population is also very important, also have very nice traits, qualities and talents) Make no mistake about that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The consequences for the ADD and ADHD person<\/h3>\n<p>Many <span style=\"color: #000000;\">characteristics of ADD<\/span> and ADHD are purely deep frustrations that have crept into the brain as patterns. Patterns that are then repeated day in and day out so you don't have to relearn everything every day. Unfortunately, this applies to both helpful and unhelpful patterns. In ADDs and ADHDs, therefore, the brain often contains <a title=\"Secondary complaints ADD and ADHD\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/mental-health-problems-add-adhd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">secondary complaints and disorders<\/a>\u00a0ingrained of which most have no knowledge at all. They have become convinced of their disorder with all its consequences. The symptoms only get worse especially if you also put your focus on it every day.  This has become an unconscious unhelpful pattern that the brain executes 24\/7. Something you can therefore take control of yourself again by shifting your focus and creating new positive neurology. You can read about this in more detail on the page about\u00a0<a title=\"Opportunities through neuroplasticity\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/neuroplasticity-and-thoughts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">neuroplasticity.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Remember that what you give energy to is getting bigger. It is very simple, focus on positive things and they will slowly start getting bigger in your life!<\/p>\n<p>From an early age, we run the risk of developing our brains unhelpfully, with all the consequences that entails. Nor is it so crazy to consider that you hear so many people with ADD and ADHD say they work below their level, that sooner or later they become depressed or develop burnout. They are so smart, understand so much, have so many talents, such a highly developed emotional life, such strong intuition, are creative, have humour, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, in many cases, they cannot find their bearings anywhere. Wherever you are, everywhere your ADD \/ ADHD brain is expected to be awake and functioning in the beta state so that it is open to be easily programmed with a programme that is incomprehensible to us<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ADD en ADHD is jouw kracht maar lastig in de maatschappij Vanaf het moment dat een kind naar school gaat wordt er al gesleuteld aan de natuurlijke gave die het heeft meegekregen.
