HoF, I believe it is a rare soul who has the opportunity to live their true self from birth to death. In fact, a majority of the people who breath oxygen, glued to mother earth's gravity experience what you have so eloquently described above. Some unfortunates will live their entire life with their true self subdued in some dark corner of their subconscious, never to allow it to reach the surface. God help them that they do not lose that self discipline and vent their rage on others. I recall the exact instance when I was born. It was not the day I entered the world of the breathing, but 18 years later.
