Thanks for your response. I know by experience I am not my body. I understand by reading, experiment and shared experience of others. There is a reason why we chose to be born in the physical. The most common is the learning experience a given incarnation will give us.

Yes we choose what to believe based on our own experiences and learning. Tempered greatly by the hidden memories of past experience.

The leaning is mostly from outside influences. Like you telling your children that life is not fair. It creates the indoctrination of the child so see the world from your point of view. Not that is entirely a bad thing. In fact that is how we as race grow.

When we take responsibility for our choices it frees others to grow themselves rather then our blaming our parents for our problems and presentations. It also frees you to learn from those choices. In a sense it is a form of forgiveness of others for their actions. Freeing you to make the changes in your life without expectation or blame on others.
