When the dualistic, black-and-white thinking process of our inner-child's primitive ego is unconsciously carried into adulthood, we tend to become judgmental and critical of others.

It is important to remember that every issue always has at least two points of view, and it is important to search for the truth on both sides. Every issue needs those individuals or organizations who are able to go to the fringes of the issue and articulate for us the truths that are found there because there is always truth on both sides of any issue.

To understand how our primitive ego picks up its unconscious beliefs it is helpful to understand the various emotional and developmental stages we all pass through on our journey toward adulthood.
