Ego Boundaries That Cross Borders.

- Abstract
As we jostle with each other for space, clean air and potable water on this planet we find that each nation, city, village and individual has a role to play in conserving the planet. In spite of the wider perspective that should ideally melt away man-made boundaries, these borders are reinforced as egos, both individual and collective, harden. An Inside-Out approach to inter-personal leading to international relations has been suggested in this paper beginning with a simple concept of Ego-Boundaries, Ego Balancing Traits and Emotional Competencies required by persons who intend to embark upon cross-cultural interaction. The role of neurological systems ranging from 'mirror cells' Amygdala, Orbito-Frontal Cortex and Pre-Frontal Cortex in use of key competencies are discussed and a whole-brain approach is recommended to liberate human potential in making the world a better place. The plane at which Emotional Competencies reside in the brain is spontaneously compassionate. The warm and friendly humane core is where intention and sincerity are clear regardless of any paraphernalia of ritual, costume or cultural conditioning. Operating from this level inside-out reaching out to others, be it within a family, state or across international borders, responsive interactions are bound to succeed.
