That seems to me a very limited rule book, especially #7. We, in the physical, consist of genetic predispositions as well as a lot of "write only" space. It is largely we who reflect our local cultural values, mores, etc. When we come to identity, usually in our teen years, all the input is internalized, sublimated. The less-than-aware think they have figured everything out on their own and adopt a "mirror" mentallity. Mirror mentallity really means that "YOU" are the center of the universe.

There are things I see in others I admire greatly but I know that it is not for me or my temperment. There are things I see that I do want to emulate; some I can, some I can't. I have seen great and heartless evil in some and becuase I am aware of this it must mean that there is great and heartless evil in me??? I think NOT!

I make choices. But I also have to play the cards dealt to me and that means an interaction between ALL the elements and limitations of my life. If I have sufficient drive and a little creativeness I can overcome much and accomplish much, if I choose to do so.

But your list is thought provoking and you doo make some valid observations. Thanks. I'll think a little more and may be back!
