Oh gosh Stuart I care so much about that topic! I'm a huge believer we were all granted a common gift we call the "The freedom and power to choose" at the moment of our conception before any conditioning could take place!

What happens later, unfortunately, is that our caregivers distort us through loving us inconsistently and discriminating against our intrinsic worth. They write an invasive subconscious program full of limiting beliefs.

One of the main constructs of the conditioning is disconnecting us from this gift. The unhealthy ego replacing our true self takes control and make us believe we have no choice and that we depend on others and circumstances. That's simply unfair.

"This power of choice means that we are not merely a product of our past or of our genes; we are not a product of how other people treat us. They unquestionably influence us, but they do not determine us. We are self- determining through our choices. If we have given away our present to the past, do we need to give away our future also?" ~ Stephen Covey
