Summary: In response to a question, during an in-conversation event at the Harvard Medical School, Sadhguru explains that it is only human beings who can expand their consciousness. One simple way to achieve this is to identify yourself with your ignorance, and not your knowledge. He explains that, eastern cultures, were focused on releasing oneself from genetic memory (other than physiological aspects) - because genetic memory binds you. Unless one distances themselves from their genetic memory, they can not be a new possibility, they will just become a copy of their parents.
