I think self-change is the biggest delusion.
Yes, our objectives change.
But our core is our core.
Our inner-child is who we are, and the delusion is all of the lives our inner-child chooses to explore.
I don't doubt that wisdom can be gleaned, or intuition sharpened.
I think my biggest question at this point, is how deep our "inner-child" runs.
If someone has a stroke, or suffers a major head injury, or has a tumor; it changes who they appear to be in some cases. But from our conception, our genetics automatically configured themselves.
I wonder where the instinctive biology ends, and where the self begins.
