Dear anxiousangel:

You asked me to elaborate on my previously made point about you managing information that is not relevant to your authentic self. I wrote: “…You didn’t want to be judged by what is not relevant to your authentic self. You hid and lied about what is not relevant to your authentic self.”

What is a person’s authentic self? One thing it is not, is the profession of one’s parents and the wealth and social status of one’s parents. These things: profession, wealth, social status of one’s parents is very influential in one’s life, especially in India at present. Influential but not authentic is my point.

Let’s say you are born outdoors in a very bad weather: raining heavily, storms, winds… you as a baby are hardly surviving the tough weather, cold, wet… (even with the mother taking care of you by covering you, feeding you, etc.)

This tough weather you are born into, is it part of your authentic self?

That weather you are born into is powerful, but the little person born into it, is that person different than if you were born into a pleasantly warm, quiet day?

Awaiting your answer and will continue then…
