The Present Self

All the actions needed for survival of the Self are taught in the mother’s womb itself. For example, all kinds movements, including respiratory movements, heart beating and blood circulation, hormone production, musculoskeletal growth, swallowing, urination, sleep and activity cycles. The fetus is capable of sending certain chemicals in mother’s blood, to make available the required things. It is surprising that the fetus can actively demeneralise mother’s bones, or make her anemic to get calcium or iron. 

(This video is to demonstrate that how even at fetal stage of our life, our mind can be scarred.)

All the ways, to get what is needed for survival by hook or crook, are mastered in the fetal stage of life, and are present in the brain in the form of reflexes. These are default reflexes, and can not be deleted.

After birth, human has many teachers, teaching how to live life. If one looks in to his past, countless instructors have influenced our lives, in more of the destructive than constructive way. The words and actions of all these people have undergone analysis in the brain. And actions are taken, which later become reactions.

It is most important to know at this stage that everything happens for survival. All analysis and rationalizing is influenced only by the need to survive. Obedience is the key when too young. Submission when helpless. Only an adult mind is free to analyze maturely. But unfortunately almost all have undergone such a devastating training through out their childhood; the reflexes created at that time have already corrupted the brain and the thought process. All the analysis done now is done under the influence of knowledge learned at the earlier age.

As the humans undergo diverse trainings, diverse unpredictable personalities develop, unlike birds and animals, which are quite predictable.

 At the stage of maturity, many lucky ones come out of the tornado of the past, and find their own pure self. But for others, the tornado keeps whirling up and up, with bad results.

The most common excuse of failures is “not being able to control the mind”. And well-wishers, friends, spouses or the spiritual healers come in to the picture. More and more damage is done to the self, by forcing him to adapt, to accept, to give and to forgive. Things are the same for the being. Only teachers and topics have changed.

The most dangerous game of 'Techniques Of Controlling Mind' starts now. Misleading thoughts by non scientific people are to be accepted, because Medical Science does not mention 'The Mind' in the curriculum.   

Now these non scientific teachers must leave. We have to be our own teachers now. We can understand who has interfered in our lives, and how; if we follow our life right from the start, with a sense of complete detachment from the Self.
