Default Re: The ego what is it? How to transcend?

Dear Gnosis5
thank you for your continuing support of this thread.
May peace and the right brain prevail.

Incidentally its a medical fact that the pathways in the brain are strengthened by use and the next thought finds it easier to move along the most used path.

In simplicity the more we think positively the more we perceive events as positive.
Unfortunately the opposite also holds true.

The right brain tends to process essence -- the total picture.
The left brain is into detail and can misunderstand context and its the context that gives true meaning.

The ego cant see the wood for the tree.

The brain is like a filing cabinet and every event is analyzed as to which file it belongs in.
This process is instant and happens before the mind even registers the event.
Important information can be filtered out before the event is registered so anything which dosent fit in with current stand point / belief is not recognised as relevent.
Anything that confirms point of view is fast tracked to conscious awareness.
so there you have it.

That comes from the training received at st Annes Hospital London not from spiritual books.
