My Bottom Line.

As long as you take the existing ideas and reconstruct them into something useful then it is called standing on the shoulders of giants. My own hypothesis that is the root of all my ideas is as old as Indian
Mythology! There is this warrior Arjun a legendary fighter. It turns out that all the fighting skills that he learned he did it in his mothers womb! I just learned how to extract/decode practical applications and implications of profound truths that are mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. My bottom line is, 'Of all the people that you should know there is someone you should check out first - your own true self. Most people know their self image as their true self and so we have all these individual problem and even group problems'. Imagine this whole world where all interactions take place between true selfs! All inter relation problems stem from self image inter acting with self image. Even things like divorces happen because people fall in love with each others self image generated phony images. Because eventually reality rubs in and grinds the phony illusions and exposes not the image but the real self and so love starts to vanish into thin air. (You just gave birth to a new idea! We should have a questionnaire that asks if it is you who fell in love or is it your self image that fell in love and also are you falling for the real person or his concept/image in your mind,). Even bloated defense budgets can be traced to distorted group images - 'my flag is more honorable than yours'.
And inspite of all the strides that the science of the mind has made we still don't take fully into account the profound affect that 'womb-conditioning' (I have coined this word and the concept) has on the brain of every human being. There are thousands of books on the same theme of 'know thy self' there is nothing new here. However I am just adding that know how the very concept of the self gradually emerges and the roots of basic human nature at least partly can be traced to womb-conditioning. So know human nature in general and know your own human nature and all its causes; inorder to know who you are and why you are what you are. So that you can go back and take out any emotional baggage still churning in your brain.
