What we consider ourselves is just the image we built about ourselves in our mind. And it is the out come of our reactive thought. The reactive thought itself is an unwanted process happening with in our mind. Let us analyze how this image has been built in to us, to the extent possible for us so that there is a possibility to destroy this self image and go into the reality. In other words, if we can understand the whole process of reactive thoughts, there is a possibility of stopping the reactive thoughts itself.
We build image about any thing based on the concept of duality. For example, we build the images like good or bad, beautiful or ugly, tall or short, hot or cold and so on. Whatever image we have about ourselves, there is an exactly opposite of that image is available with in our experience. Because any thing and every thing we experience in this world is relative to some thing, and hence duality is inevitable. In most of the cases, the point of relation is set by our mind it self, which is again based on our knowledge or experience. The mind fixes a reference point and then we measure the attribute. One side of the reference point is of one quality and the other side of the reference point is of other quality and hence the duality. Duality ceases to exist if and only if we demolish the reference point from our mind. As our experience in life increases, the reference point also keep on moving to the direction depend on the quality of our experience. If our experience is in such a way that, there is no more requirement for such a reference point, the duality ceases to exist. Let us just keep this idea with us for some more time and discuss in detail at a later stage, when it is more relevant.
Let us discuss some concepts of Transactional Analysis, which is part of modern psychology. Transactional analysis is an integral part of any interpersonal skill development courses. In modern psychological terms, the image is built by the psychological transactions between people.
Transactional analysis talks about the ego states with in individuals. The ego state of an individual can be classified into three states. They are Parent ego, Adult ego and Child ego. Every one has all the three ego states, but at a different proportion. The traits of an individual depend on how the three ego states are mixed with in an individual. The parent ego is authoritative ego, adult ego is matured ego, and child ego is the playful ego. When ever a person communicates with another one, he/she always will be at one of these three ego states. That doesn’t mean, he communicates always with the same ego state. That particular ego state depends on his/her personality, situation, and few other psychological conditions. The same is the case with the other person also. Wile communicating, the first person can be in any of the three ego states and the second person also in any of the three ego states. Hence there are nine possibilities of interpersonal communication. The each communication between two persons is called transaction. The transaction is not only verbal communication, but also the communications like gestures. Hence the transaction between two persons shall be Parent to Parent, Parent to Adult, Parent to Child, Adult to Parent, Adult to Adult, Adult to Child, Child to Parent, Child to Adult and Child to Child. When ever the persons transacting are in the same ego state, the transaction will be a healthy one. If they are in different ego states while communicating, the result of the transaction will always be negative.
Then there is a thing called STAMP in transactional analysis. It is an impression that happens with in the mind of personnel involving in the transaction, created as a result of this transaction. Each transaction will have a stamp for each individuals participating in a transaction. To make it clear let us assume, the first person involved in the transaction is at its parent ego state and the second person involved in the transaction is in child ego state. The first person says “You are idiot”. By transacting this he collect a stamp which has an imprint that “Others are always idiots”. The second person who is in the child ego state, seeing some body says him as “Idiot” collects a stamp with the imprint of “I am always Idiot”. If the second person involved in this transaction is with his adult ego state at the time of transaction, he may collect a stamp with some other imprint, probably a healthy one, depend on his mind conditioning. And also the point to be noted here is one can not be in the same ego state always. For the functioning of life, one has to have all the three ego states at different moments. Even a child need to have parent ego at certain circumstances.
The essence of transactional analysis is that with any communication between individuals, they collect stamps and store them in their mind or memory. With so much communication happening between people, we can imagine the amount of stamps we have collected and dumped into the mind and memory during our life period.
The image we have about ourselves is nothing but the bunch of such stamps we have collected during our life time. Let us assume, we came up in an entirely different environment and the transactions happened during our life time are of entirely different nature, what we consider as ourselves might be an entirely different set of qualities. To make it precious, what ever we have noted about ourselves is just an image of ourselves and it is not actually our nature. This image may change depend on the circumstances we are in. On the other hand, the projected image of us is a game of our mind only. To put the whole thing in another perspective, what we consider as our personality is just the projection of our own mind. This projection is based on the stamps collected by ourselves AND OUR PARENTS, GRANT PARENTS, GRANT ….GRANT PARENTS (they collected the stamps by themselves and then passed on it to us and we pass them to our children) and dumped in to our memory. The minds analyze the memory and give the projection of our mind. But it is not our real nature. What we consider ourselves is just the result of the type of transactions we had in the past. If we would have been had different types of transaction, our personality must have been some thing else. And this discussion now leaves a big question, then WHAT IS OUR REAL NATURE? Since we have this question, there is a scope to find our real nature. I do not know the real nature of us to write down here. The option available is to find out ourselves together, if we are willing to find out. I am definitely willing to find it out.
I am not sure, whether the point intended to be made clear is brought out or not. The intention of this discussion is we are not the one we consider as ourselves. What we consider as ourselves is just an image projected by our mind. Our basic nature may be entirely different from what the mind has projected about us, because the mind with reactive thought can only understand the relative terms or duality of the life. Once we look beyond this dualities of life, then only we will be able to understand the real nature of us. Once we understand that real nature, the next moment we can bring the change we want to have in this world.
Here the term understanding has much deeper meaning. It is not just an intellectual understanding. It is basically experiencing the fact. To bring in this understanding, we may discuss various aspects of life, energy, cosmos and at the end of each discussion, we shall return to this point of discussion. On the other hand, from this point of discussion we shall branch out to multiple directions and then come back to this point to take another branch. In this way, we will be always in focus of what we want to achieve at the end of this discussion.
The aim of this discussion is, to be aware of the internal change required with in us and prepare ourselves for to adopt the change with in. By this change with in ourselves, we can see the outside world with the right perspective and we can change the out side world, if we need to change it. To facilitate this, we need a better understanding about ourselves and probably these discussions may show the route for understanding about ourselves.

Self Image
Now we have a fair idea of what we are, the complexities involved with in us and with in the universe. All along we wanted to change every thing or every happening in this tiny earth with in the vast cosmos by ourselves or by some body else. We still can change that with the understanding of whole complexities of this cosmos and the complexities of ourselves. But we need to change a bit with in ourselves to make us capable of changing the happening in earth. Self analysis is for the purpose of understanding what we need to change with in ourselves.
If we are required to write down about whom we are, depend on our descriptive nature, we may write about ourselves any thing from three sentences to 30 sentences. No ordinary person can write more than 30 sentence about him/her self. If one can do that, he/she must be a story writer.
This is the time to start self analysis. If you are willing to do, prepare an analysis report of yourself as far as possible and make it as a record. If you are willing to change yourself and see this record after few months, you will surprise about your image you will be having about you at that time. Yes, what we have just written down is our image about ourselves, which we have with in us. What is this image? How this image has been formed within us and got into our mind? Do we need this image or do we change this image? If we get all these questions, we are again in the right track.
I would like to ascertain one thing here. Any body who reads this page is definitely an intelligent person. You must have been gone thru certain formal education which ever field it may be. The education must have been made you as an intellectual being. By intellect, what I mean is you have become a logical person. What ever you think you try to attach some logic to that. But the irony is whenever we are not able to attach any logic to something which we come across, instead of asking questions and finding a solution, we just go into our belief system and start BELIEVING those things. We never try to understand the logic behind what we believe or, at least gaining intellectual knowledge about our belief. Yes, belief is a wonderful thing to have, if we believe every thing and trust every thing what ever come across to us, beyond any question or doubt. But having an intellectual mind we are not able to have that sort of belief also. Hence if we analyze some thing using our logical mind and when it goes beyond our capability with respect to logic, we just escape the logical route by taking a belief route. This is mere escapism. We are lazy to analyze further and find the answer. It is because of our laziness we divert ourselves to the belief route just for those concepts which we can’t understand but somehow we need them for a mere psychological satisfaction or for psychological process of covering up things which we are unable to understand. We never reach any where by this escape route and psychological covering-up process. The best thing we can do on such situation is go as far as possible with in the logical mind and stop were we are not able to proceed any further, and keep it for a later time. In this way at least we have kept a possibility open. By escaping thru the belief route for certain things (only), we are sealing possibility of knowledge. Being with an intellectual mind, knowledge gives more freedom to us rather than the belief.
That is the reason I said, we are in the right track if we get some question about us, as we started the self analysis. So in the first stage of self analysis, we actually analyzing our image about ourselves rather than actually analyzing ourselves. There is a vast difference between analyzing our image about ourselves and actually analyzing ourselves. We may discuss about this at later stage. Now let us start with what we consider as ourselves – The image about ourselves.
Okay, now the list is ready. We have already written down what we consider as ourselves. The list may contain description of our physical nature, interests, attitude, and what we consider as positive and negative description of ours. Now let us go back and look at how we arrived at the conclusion about ourselves.
Let us take the physical description of ourselves. Naturally we have described our body here. We would have written as tall/short, long/round/oval face, long/short hair and so on. But what we describe about our physical aspect is just a comparison of what is there around us. Yes that is the only way we can describe our physical aspect. Here we will write the same thing even if we have written it a year ago or a year later as long as we are in the same society. This is reasonably straight forward. Now let us move to the description of our interests. Here the interests we have noted about ourselves is just what we though about our interest at that moment and at best, this is the interests we have on a few days span of time from the moment we have noted them. If we would have written about our interests a few weeks ago or shall write few weeks later, that would have been a different set of interests, depend on our exposure to new experiences in life. Same is the case with the description of attitude or any other aspects. The point here is that except about our physical nature, every thing else is entirely the projection of our mind. It is basically the projection of our mind at the time of observing those aspects. To express it in a subtle way, the description we give about ourselves is the observation of the projection of our mind at the moment and it is not the observation of ourselves. (It may be a bit hard to understand the difference between the projection of our mind and ourselves. It may be cleared after some more discussion). The projection of our mind could have been in any other direction, if we would have observed it in another moment. There are limitless numbers of possibilities about how we would have described ourselves based on the time in which we are describing ourselves. The point here is that the entire description of us we have observed is based on our reactive thoughts, which can change at every single moment of life. So what we think about us is not a fixed thing. It changes every moment during our life, except about our body. Even about the body, though we do not perceive, the reality is that it is changing every moment. Every cell in our body is dying and regenerating itself, which is happening at every moment of our life at certain part of our body. Some where I heard that each cells in our body dies and replaced by a new cell once in every 2.5 years. On the other hand, we are virtually having a new body once in every 2.5 years. Hence the fact is that what we describe about ourselves changes during every moment of life. We are not the same entity at this moment compared to what we were in the previous moment or what we will be in the next moment, as per our description about us.
I would like to remind you- please do not bring in the philosophical or religious concepts which describe about us at this moment. It is deceptive in nature and seals the possibility of self analysis. Let us be open about ourselves. Let us not deceive some thing and seal the option of knowing about ourselves. Same is the case when you are reading this blog. Please stay away from any urge of deception – towards or against the content, which will take away the possibility of self knowledge. Just try to relate the contents to your experience or try to experience it. If unable to relate it to your experience or not able to experience it, just stop there in that direction and move on to another direction. That will be far, far better than deceived by some idea.
If we are required to write down about whom we are, depend on our descriptive nature, we may write about ourselves any thing from three sentences to 30 sentences. No ordinary person can write more than 30 sentence about him/her self. If one can do that, he/she must be a story writer.

Logic with in Creation and Evolution
We have seen that there is a complete logic behind creation and evolution. When we were children, we might have had funny images about the formation and birth of ourselves. When we grow up, we gained some knowledge about the mechanism of reproduction and we are capable of explaining it logically.
When we were grown up children, most of us might have had the question of how the first human came into the earth. When we asked this question, out of ignorance, we were told some funny stories and we started believing those stories. We learned the evolution theories and many other things by ourselves, when we were capable of acquiring such knowledge. But the funny stories gone deep into our memories due to the belief system we and our immediate ancestors had, and for most of us, still it is deep in to our memory. At the same time we are able to acknowledge the logic behind it, if it is presented logically.
There is complete logic behind each and every happening in the whole of cosmos. It is only that our present knowledge or experience is not capable of recognizing the whole logic behind happening around the cosmos. In other words, our present experience is limited to very, very few things which are happening around the cosmos and we will be able to understand with our logical mind only about that dimension of happening in the cosmos. If our experience is widened, we will be able to see another dimension of cosmos also, with complete logic. We are not able to see the other dimension of the cosmos at this moment with our logical mind does not mean that there is no logic behind the happening in the vast cosmos.
If a man who lived in earth 100 years ago, suddenly come in front of us, he will just get frightened at what we are doing now. In his experience what we are doing is completely miracles. When we take a small piece of material and talk to it and if we say, we are talking to some body in the other side of earth, it is a miracle for him. In his experience he can not speak with any body who is more than 100 meters away. But we know the science behind what we are doing and hence in our experience what we are doing is not a miracle.
The similar analogy is applicable to each and every happening in this earth as well as the whole cosmos. There is complete logic behind what is happening in the earth as well as in the cosmos. It may not be in our experience. That doesn’t mean what is happening around is miracle. The bottom line is that there are no miracles in this earth or in this cosmos. Every happening has a complete logic behind that. The fact is that our present experience is not relevant to the other dimension. That doesn’t again mean we have to accept the other dimension as told by somebody else without any understanding of what is told to us. If we do that mistake, the possibility of knowledge is sealed there and we will be just living as ignorant beings.
It is not that we are not capable of understanding these logics. We are the most capable beings in this cosmos to understand and experience the entire happening. What we need is awareness that every happening in this cosmos has logic and the willingness to see that logic. If we can allow our natural instinct of evolution, we will definitely search for the other dimension by ourselves, may be with a little help from those who have already experienced the other dimensions. In this way, even if we are unable to taste the other dimensions of cosmos, we are in the right track – The track of evolution of our being, and we are not far away from changing the world as we need.

Evolution
When we talk about the evolution of human race, normally we talk about just the previous version of human – The monkey. To talk about evolution of human race, we must talk about how the first living being might have come in to existence.
Nature has a great affinity towards evolution. In the macro level from mass less particles and energy the whole massive universe was evolved. Until this point, the evolution was macro level, the evolution in the cosmic level. From this point the evolution is in the micro level, with in earth. We do not aware of any other micro level evolution that was happened other than in earth. Here after, for our study of evolution of life, we just concentrate only on earth. After about one billion years of formation of earth, the first living being, the single cell living being evolved in earth, according to the theories of evolution based on scientific study.. The single cell living organism evolved in earth about 3 to 4 billion years ago, out of matter available in earth. Almost one to two billion years, it was only single cell living beings in this world.
So, the evolution is a natural process. Any thing and every thing have the greatest affinity to evolve from its current state. About a billion years ago, out of its urge to evolve, multi cell organisms evolved in earth from the single cell beings. We should appreciate the fact that the single cell living beings struggled for about two billion years with their urge to evolve in to multi cell beings. From their, the evolution is pretty fast and with in a billion years, the multi cell form to human form has been evolved. Various sources in internet indicate the age of human form is some where between 100,000 years and 200,000 years. Out of this the culture evolved some where between 10,000 years and 20,000 years ago. From this data, we may be able to appreciate the fact that the age of human culture is just a small fraction compared to the time range of creation. We may be further able to appreciate the fact that the speed of evolution of human intellect at present time is much, much faster than any time before in the evolution of beings from the time of creation. It indicates that we are in a stage where we have enormous responsibility, never before, to evolve further. If we are missing that opportunity, we are doing an unforgivable crime against the natural urge of evolution, the creation, the creator – The GOD and the future generation. We must understand this and need to put forward our best effort to evolve further. In other words, we need to put forward our best effort to have a much evolved future generations. Otherwise the future generation shall charge as for not using the enormous opportunity available in front of us.
With this discussion, we have a fair idea about creation, the complexities in the forces acting between trillions of cosmic objects, possibility of living being in some other star system with in the cosmos, the process of evolution of human race and the present state of our intellect. Hope the reader will be able to appreciate the fact that the world was not created by any body on a single day or in fact not created by any body at all. Also no body has prepared on a single day, a heap of chemicals, given some energy to that heap of chemical, and named it as human being. It happened by evolution over a period of four billion years with the natural urge with in the creation it self.

Otherwise the future generation shall charge as for not using the enormous opportunity available in front of us.

Creation
Creation According to Science:
Creation is the conversion of particles with or with out out mass into one or more massive particles. In physics mass less elementary particles are called Bosons and massive elementary particles are called Fermions. Hence creation is the conversion of two or more Bosons into Fermions.
Because of momentum conservation laws, the creation of a pair of fermions (matter particles) out of a single photon or Boson cannot occur. However, matter creation is allowed by momentum conservation law when in the presence of another particle (it may be another photon or other boson, or even a fermion) which can share photon's momentum. Thus, matter can be created out of two photons, for example (this is the process inverse to annihilation).
The law of energy conservation sets a minimum photon energy required for creation of a pair of fermions: this threshold energy must be greater than the total rest energy of the fermions created. To create an electron-positron pair the total energy of the photons must be at least 2mec2 = 2×0.511 MeV = 1.022 MeV (me is the mass of one electron and c is the speed of light in vacuum), an energy value that corresponds to soft gamma ray photons. The creation of a much more massive pair, like a proton and antiproton, requires photons with energy of more than 1.88 GeV (hard gamma ray photons).
Before creation, it must have been just vast empty space filled with enormos energy and massless particles Bosons. Out of the energy explosion, the massless elmentary particles combined togeter to form particles with mass - the Fermion and from there, protons, electrons, neurtrons, atoms and so on. From this the macro Universe! This is the science behind Creation - The complete logic of Creation.
Universe:
A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system consisting of stars, an interstellar medium of gas and dust, and dark matter. The name is from the Greek root galaxias meaning "milky," a reference to the Milky Way galaxy. Typical galaxies range from dwarfs with as few as ten million (10^7) stars up to giants with one trillion (10^12) stars, all orbiting a common center of mass. Galaxies can also contain many multiple star systems, star clusters, and various interstellar clouds. The Sun is one of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy; the Solar System includes the Earth and all the other objects that orbit the Sun.
There are probably more than 100 billion (10^11) galaxies in the observable universe.Most galaxies are 1,000 to 100,000 parsecs in diameter and are usually separated by distances on the order of millions of parsecs (or megaparsecs).Intergalactic space (the space between galaxies) is filled with a tenuous gas of an average density less than one atom per cubic meter. The majority of galaxies are organized into a hierarchy of associations called clusters, which, in turn, can form larger groups called superclusters. These larger structures are generally arranged into sheets and filaments, which surround immense voids in the universe.
The parsec ("parallax of one arcsecond", symbol pc) is a unit of length, equal to just over 30 trillion kilometres
With the introduction of above two facts as per science, let us prepare ourselves for self analysis. With the number of stars (like sun) exceed billions of trillions in this universe, there are possibly many cosmic objects like earth, and where there are possibly some intelligent beings somewhere in any of the star system. The basic requirement for those intelligent beings may be entirely different than that of human being (earth, space, air, water, fire) hence they (If present) may be with or with out shape. If they are present somewhere, they are independent of us, and we are independent of them. Just keep this point at the corner of your mind.
The billions of trillions stars are tied together with a common force and moving around the center of mass of the whole system at one level and the center of mass of sub systems (at multiple levels in an orderly manner) Probably the number of available stars may give you an overall idea about the infinite nature of space and the energy bind the matter. And the orderly motion of these celestial objects gives an idea about how the central force is acting on those objects such a way that each one got their own momentum and energy, and with that they are bonded with each other as well as repelling each other to maintain an overall order.
At this point, I would like to remind you that with so much of complex forces acting on each celestial object by nature, they are able to maintain the rhythm. If that is the case, we, the minute objects living in a minute celestial object (earth) can very well live with a rhythm and maintain our nature (happiness). Or by nature we must be happy objects in this earth.
Let us view it over another angle. All the galaxies are moving around a center point, which is the center of the whole energies of all galaxies, assuming all galaxies are moving around a center point. If that is not the case (not revolving round a center point), all galaxies are moving towards a point or away from a point. It is an established fact that all galaxies are moving at a very high speed. We may take the point towards/from, which those galaxies are moving as the center of energy of the whole system. Then all the stars in a galaxy are moving around a point, which is the point of origin of the energy of each galaxy system. Below that, there are multiple star systems, where the centers of those stars are the energy center of those individual star systems. And so on. This concept can be brought down to the smallest object in the universe - applicable to any living being and we humans, and mass less elementary particles Bosons as well as massive elementary particles Fermions.
The established sciences in earth are limited to exposed knowledge of the intelligent beings in earth. The exposed knowledge of this intelligent being (human) may or may not be near to understand the law of creation. I read somewhere that the living legend of physics, Mr. Stephen Hawking is very near to establish a formula to explain the creation. In other words, he is near to explain the God, the creator by means of a formula.
Creation is the conversion of particles with or with out out mass into one or more massive particles. In physics mass less elementary particles are called Bosons and massive elementary particles are called Fermions. Hence creation is the conversion of two or more Bosons into Fermions.
Because of momentum conservation laws, the creation of a pair of fermions (matter particles) out of a single photon or Boson cannot occur. However, matter creation is allowed by momentum conservation law when in the presence of another particle (it may be another photon or other boson, or even a fermion) which can share photon's momentum.

Self Analysis
Performing a true self analysis may be the most difficult yet most important activity for any body. We know that we already have certain image of ourselves. Before self analysis, we need to understand that the image we have about ourselves is not useful for the self analysis. This is because, this image has very few attributes of ours based on how we think about ourselves. While doing self analysis, we need to shatter all these images built by ourselves to get a reasonable out come.
To perform a self analysis, we need to understand the constitution of our body to the extent possible for us. Understanding our constitution doesn’t mean about understanding our mental projection about ourselves or understanding based on some scriptures and philosophy. It may be very difficult to put in words about what it means here. It is not about believing some thing (probably one assumption) and derives the rest of the understanding based on that belief. This understanding is about what could be the real constituent of ourselves based on the possibilities to the extent we can go down.
Here is the constitution of human being as I can understand. It is the possibility I am seeing about the constitution of human being. It may not be acceptable to you and it is not necessary for you to accept this. But derive the possibility based on your understanding, with out introducing your belief (or conditioning of mind) in to it. That will be the constitution of human being as per you and the rest of the self analysis can be done based on your derivation. But mind that, to get a reasonable self analysis, one must be true with the understanding of himself.
We are a heap of chemicals bonded together with the help of some energy. The heap of chemicals is our body. Our body will retain the shape and perform the functions as it performing now as long as the energy is sufficient to perform this action or the constitution of chemicals is good enough to hold the energy with in it. If the body is not capable of holding that energy or when the energy is not sufficient to hold the body, the body disintegrates into other chemicals and this is called Death.
Each one of us has certain amount of chemicals, which may vary from person to person. The proportion of this chemicals, degeneration, and regeneration of these chemicals are controlled by complex mechanisms with in the body. These mechanisms it self are chemical reactions, thru which the energy is generated for controlling the body and maintaining the control system of the body.
We also have Mind. Mind is basically the outward projection of Brain. The brain is the central control system of our body. It receives energy by means of chemical reaction/electrical energy from the sense objects of our body, store the information with in the brain by means of neuron connections with in brain, locate the similar category of information with in the brain, then compare the data received at the moment with past data, and store the result with in the brain. Along with storing the data, it generates thoughts which are the out come of activity of the brain. These thoughts activate other parts of the brain and the brain send the control signals back to the body organs as required. Some of these thoughts happen in conscious level, some of them in subconscious level and some in unconscious level. Some of the psychologists even accept one more deeper level of mind called collective unconscious mind, where the information we inherited from all our ancestors (probably from the single cell living being until the previous generation – over a period of 3 billion years) are stored in it. On the other hand, the collective unconscious mind is the storage repository of evolution. The following is one of the links available in net, where you can find some information about unconscious mind and collective unconscious mind:
http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Unconscious_mind
If you look into the type of thoughts, it may be classified into two types. One is active thought and another is reactive thought. When we do certain task, the thought guide the task and the body does the task according to the direction in which the thought is directing. This is active thought. We need this thought. With out this type of thought we can not perform our tasks in this world. The second type is the reactive thought. After we completed a task or part of a task, the mind compare it with many other aspects, which are not necessary for the completion of task but closely related with the task we are doing and in response to the comparison, the mind reacts and generates new thoughts.
We need active thoughts to live in this world. But the reactive thoughts are totally unnecessary and with in a normal human being more than 90% of the thoughts are reactive type. But we are unable to separate or remove the reactive thoughts from our brain functionality. Now probably we know why we are using as little as 10% of our brain capacity as claimed by those who are researching on Brain functionality. One aspect of self analysis is to understand the reactive thoughts and the implication of them with in us. Here one thing we need to keep in mind. The line which separates the active thoughts and reactive thoughts may be very, very thin. We must be careful while handling this part of self analysis.
Now the question may be who has put together the chemicals and infused the energy with in it to make the human being. To understand this we need to go little backward on creation and evolution.
We may return back to Self Analysis after discussing on evolution on another day.

Problem Analysis
It is clear that there is a need for a change with in us. The root cause for this requirement of change is that we perceive problems every where around us. In environment, politics, life style, culture, and any thing we name it, we perceive a problem there. In spite of all these problems, the universe is expanding on its defined path on the macro level and the life of animate beings and inanimate beings are happening as usual. In short, in spite of the problems perceived by almost every human beings in this earth (There may be very few exceptions), the world is evolving as usual and hence there is actually no problem in the world when seeing another dimension of the world.
Now the problem is with the world or with us? In another words, the problem is with the perceived or with the perception? It is a real problem to understand where the problem is. It is well accepted norm that we need to analyze our capabilities before venturing into any thing new so that we can fine tune our approach to get the target.
So we need to analyze our capabilities before venturing into analyzing the problem of perceived or the problem of world. No body else can analyze our capabilities. It is we alone can analyze our capabilities. Now the question is how capable are we to analyze ourselves. I doubt about our ability to perform this function with our present knowledge and awareness about ourselves. When we say self analysis, it is not just seeing a very few attributes of ourselves and project an image of ourselves out of that few attributes. Any way we already have such an image with in us. That image doesn’t help much in this problem. The self analysis indicated here means the analysis of ourselves, as deep as possible with complete awareness of what we are.
Hence I would suggest, we need to improve our ability to perform this self analysis before venturing into this one. Of course, it is a time consuming exercise. If we want to change the world as we like, we need to take our time do this exercise. No other alternative. In case we are not ready to do this self analysis, the better alternative is accept the world as it is and jumps into it. Do not complain about the happenings in the world. But we are not capable of doing that also.
I hope, now we are able to recognize a conflict with in ourselves, which is one of the causes of all our problems. We do not want to do any thing for orselves, but every thing has to fall under our feet. Another important aspect about changing the world as we wish is that we need to identify all the conflicts with in us and resolve them. We need self analysis for achieving this and before that we need to reach a state from where we can perform self analysis with reasonable ability to recognize the conflicts with in us and ability to withstand the mental turmoil as a result of understanding the conflicts with in us.
It is not that every one has to improve their ability in all departments to perform a reasonable self analysis to get a reasonable result. Some of us may be already having certain abilities with in us and others may be having certain other abilities. Our aim is to estimate the requirement of abilities to perform a reasonable self analysis and improve where ever required.
