Let me explain a few things that happened with the 1st 2 editions of "Tiny Eden"
"Tiny Eden" was on retail sale at T.G.B., one of our strongest supporters. I often spent the weekend there and quite often sold this book to "Women", - "Mothers" to be more precise. Mothers who had young sons, - boys in that matter and who should be worried about male Child-sex predators lurking behind every bush.
I asked them about their perception of "Tiny Eden", the story and the content. They "LOVED" it!
Mothers are renown for their 6th sense to sniff out any danger for their children. And yet they found this book "good" and with a supportive message and theme.
It was for me the proof that I had touched a subject we do not want to talk about and yet that is just a mm under below the surface. - The Mentor.
Throughout history, mentor-ship has been the basis of education. What is in today's society a "Teacher's Pet"? A student that is more attentive, more eager to learn and more active in participation.
The Chinese say: "A village rears a child." And this is the fact for us Humans. The parents raise the child in the sense that they are responsible for the immediate needs of the new-born up to preschool age. However at around preschool age, the parents no longer can cope with all the needs of their child. Not the needs in terms of food shelter and clothing, but in the sense that his/her little brain needs a bit more stimulus than what the parents can offer.
Education in the ancient times till recently was mostly a One-on-One Mentor-ship affair. It is still to a degree practiced in the apprenticeship programs for trade training and the likes. Mentor-ship is as old and part and parcel of our very human nature. It is modern society, especially the industrial and capitalistic consumer goods society that removes more and more the very fundamentals of human nature and shapes us into mindless sheep that can be herded into all directions.
It is also human nature that we do stick with our own gender. This is why the "Boys" go out and bowl and or go to watch a football game together. They do it as males together with males, not as husband and wife groups. This is why women have their coffee gatherings and other same gender group activities. Even if we are married and have our families, we have our "Boys & Girls" nights out. It is much more so natural for a boy to feel more comfortable with a male friend and mentor than with a female one as in the same token a girl feels a lot more comfortable with a female friend and mentor.
The present day child sex abuse phobia has one goal only. To frighten people into isolation. To instill a "trust no one" sensation in one's mind and to offer only one help and solution, this of the authority. However the "boy" dreams and these dreams have to be nourished and mentored to make a free person out of him. Foremost however a "gentle person" out of this male child. Gentle in the sense that he in his character contributes to the decline of the masses of wife beaters and the masses of willing recruits for terrorism and other violent activities.
In every dictator, criminal, terrorist, wife beater and so forth, was once a "boy" who had his dreams shattered.
To recognize these dreams, to nourish them and encourage success and achievement, this is BOY-LOVE.
