Ego Model: Each of us existed, then invented a personal ego, (which took years),
made from nature and nurture to negotiate contradictions while learning to get along. The ego is diligent, but its understanding is limited by perceptions defined by the these contradictions. Gain is desired, and sought, but is that what the ego delivers, if mistaken? The ego is aware, but understanding is limited by what can be perceived. Good decisions can be reached with the application of Proof. Perception depends upon which has priority: objective truth or subjective feelings. |
| EGO MIND MODEL |
|---|
| The Ego Models were created after all the Labyrinth's 18 models, and the structure is
parallel. The ego is logical, but creates contradictions. It wants to be perceived as right,
so it constructs arguments to appear right. Using logic, it rationalizes while seeming
rational. The ego blurs the difference between right asnd righteous, so Logic is used
in this Ego Model as a test. Seeing similarity, not difference, is opposite popular belief. The ability to see difference is valued, when the ability to see similarity should be valued instead. Unthinking behavior is sometimes reasonable, sometimes not. Acting emotionally is either impulsive or compulsive, while acting on fact asks for thoughtful consideration. Impulsion or compulsion leads to delusion and irrelevance, and in the worst cases, the hysteria of an unforgiving nature. Adamant objection is hysterical exclusion. | >
