The Modus operandi of The Ego

Have you learnt who the best con artist on the earth is? It’s your ego, the thinker in your thoughts. Right here I’ll attempt to expose the ego’s modus operandi that can assist you perceive your thoughts. In case you are a real scientist, please attempt to disprove in your thoughts what I write and see if I’m fallacious.

There’s a saying, “One can lead a horse to water, however one can not pressure it to drink”. It applies to each particular person ego that exists on the earth immediately. From my observations, I see nobody needs to search out the reality about themselves. Everybody is decided to reside in a world of delusions. No matter actions we’re concerned in are selfish. Everybody prefers to look exterior them, not inside them. If one thing goes fallacious, it’s by no means you however all the time them. These actions are designed to spice up the ego and provides no perception into the thoughts or self-knowledge. As an alternative of understanding the ego, we conceal behind the scientific data we’ve acquired over the centuries and strengthen our ego. The philosophies and beliefs we’ve immediately are simply workout routines in delusional considering. We’ve got constructed an escapist world. Because of this, we have gotten more and more out of contact with actuality, and our psychological well being is deteriorating. Is our civilization immediately any completely different from the previous ones of their considering?

Right here I’ll attempt to provide you with some perception into your thoughts and allow you to perceive how the ego operates. It operates principally in three modes. The primary one is the thinker and the thought mode. Right here the ego (thinker) is doing all of the considering and controlling. It’s the lively mode wherein most individuals reside on a regular basis.

The second mode is the observer, and the noticed mode. Right here the ego is in a passive mode the place studying and understanding happen. On this mode, you might be within the current and conscious of your actions and what’s occurring. Nevertheless, as a result of the ego is pushed into the background as an observer, it shortly reverts to the primary mode, considering actively.

In between the above two modes is the third mode, the dream mode. I name it zombie mode. On this mode, ideas, feelings, emotions and pictures randomly seem out of our unconscious thoughts. It’s our auto mode the place we do issues automated with out a lot thought. However as soon as the ego verbalizes them, the dream mode switches to the primary lively mode. So you might be again in command. The dream mode happens anytime throughout waking or sleeping hours and alternates with the primary two modes.

Most individuals can not cease considering, which ends up in psychological well being issues corresponding to insomnia, nervousness, despair and many others. Shouldn’t we ask why and know why?

Do you notice your ego is a product of self-hypnosis? It signifies that it might solely seem in our aware thoughts once we use phrases. With out phrases, the ego can not seem within the aware thoughts, as it might be caught within the current. The one manner the ego could make its presence felt is by verbalizing; therefore phrases and considering turn into the lifeline of the ego. Please observe that we live in a sea of phrases. After we pray to God, we use phrases. After we sing, we sing with lyrics, that are phrases. Phrases make us pleased or unhappy. Phrases make us chortle or cry. We can not specific our feelings or talk our actual emotions with out phrases. Phrases assist us dream and switch our desires into actuality. And with out phrases, we can not journey in time. Phrases have a direct impact on our unconscious thoughts. They hypnotize us. So that you see how dependent the ego is on phrases and the considering course of for its look within the aware thoughts? Therefore considering in our thoughts turns into a behavior, an obsession. It’s why one feels one can not cease considering.

There’s one more reason one doesn’t need to cease considering. There’s worry that if one stops considering, the ego may disappear from the aware thoughts. That, in fact, is a false worry. As a result of the ego continues to be there, it solely switches to the second observer mode or the dream mode when not considering actively. But one more reason to maintain considering is the considered demise. The ego doesn’t need to die, so demise turns into an anathema. Therefore, the ego makes use of the hypnotic energy of phrases and the imaginative energy of the thoughts to create a world of beliefs and philosophies that we see immediately. These beliefs and philosophies, in fact, are only a projection of our want to reside ceaselessly, making a world of delusion.

One can see now that the ego doesn’t disappear when one stops considering. It simply switches modes. The thoughts is thus by no means empty or clean. As fixed considering turns into torture, to assist calm the turbulent thoughts, the intelligent ego has devised varied types of meditation. In my thoughts, they’re only a type of self-hypnosis; these methods can not presumably result in enlightenment or perception into one’s considering course of. They’ll solely promote delusion.

If an individual needs psychological peace and concord, you’ll solely discover it within the second mode of the observer and the noticed I discussed above. On this mode solely, you will see that consciousness of what’s occurring inside and outdoors you. As I’ve talked about in my earlier articles, we reside in a timeless universe. There’s a timeless dimension round you that coexists with the time dimension we all know within the current. Once you expertise the phenomenon of the observer in thoughts and what’s being noticed changing into one, you’ll perceive the which means of meditation. Right here, the thoughts is totally alert and conscious of what’s occurring inside and outdoors. You aren’t in a trance. It’s a spontaneous prevalence the place you notice that you just and the timeless dimension are one.

From the above observations, one can see that we reside in a really superficial world, drowning in a sea of phrases and reacting to phrases on a regular basis. The detrimental world round us, bombarding us with detrimental info, is making us sick because it distorts our perceptions and negatively influences our unconscious thoughts.

Though our psychological well being is deteriorating, nobody appears fascinated with discovering an answer as everyone seems to be in the identical boat. The medical occupation, which is meant to take care of our psychological well being, has deserted its duty and suffers from a notion dysfunction. Medical doctors are figuring out themselves with different bureaucratic professionals who’ve restricted considering. How can they enhance your psychological well being once they turn into a part of the issue? How can one have compassion, empathy or humanity if one goes together with any bureaucratic system? A physician was a pal, thinker and a guru, however not any extra. It’s as a result of compassion and humanity are incompatible with forms. The administration or fairly mismanagement of the Covid pandemic worldwide is an ideal instance of forms in motion. Certainly, in my thoughts, the medical occupation has misplaced the plot. They’ve turn into medical technocrats and have to evaluate their perceptions and position in society. They shouldn’t be concerned in any coercive or obligatory insurance policies of any authorities. One can’t be a pal and a bully on the similar time. One doesn’t should be a prophet to foretell extra psychological sickness in society as we turn into extra bureaucratic in our method to every little thing. One can solely blame the federal government and the authorized occupation for turning medical doctors and different professionals into bureaucratic thinkers.

I belief this text offers you new perception into your thoughts. Within the meantime, my plea to each particular person is to not take their ego critically. Please achieve some self-knowledge. In case you really feel detrimental, attempt to not verbalize your emotions and see what occurs. When you don’t verbalize, you don’t disappear in thoughts however are pressured into an observer mode. When you’re conscious, you might be doing the identical factor. If you end up saying detrimental phrases, change them with optimistic phrases and see what occurs. Do the identical issues with detrimental ideas. Don’t verbalize and see what occurs. Turn out to be conscious of your ideas and emotions and the phrases you might be utilizing. Phrases activate our ideas, emotions and feelings. Bear in mind, our unconscious thoughts reacts to phrases, not the which means of phrases. You possibly can manipulate it by buying self-knowledge this fashion. Be taught to know your ego and the way you use in your thoughts by changing into self-aware.
