" When you are young, you have no identity; you don’t know what to think about yourself. Ideas about yourself are given to you by past-life imprinting, parents, siblings, relatives, teachers, friends, and others close to you when you are growing up. You are told who you are, sometimes directly but often covertly and subtly. Children also draw their own conclusions about themselves based on their experiences. One’s identity is made up of ideas collected along the way from all of these sources. "
