If we purely remain in our lower chakras & instinctual nature we are no longer Humans and are just ordinary mammals. We are Hue-Man (Light-Manifestations) & have the ability to transcend our shadow aspect once you awaken from all the negative programming of our cultures & societies by forces that wish to divide & conquer the masses. Therefore I think you are wrong, instinct is NOT everything. We have a choice. Peace, love, unity, respect for all Sovereign Beings. Namaste.
