I sort of realized recently that it’s very important to embrace your ego and accept it because if you don’t utilize it to it’s fullest then you take from yourself a core part of being human. You need all of the power of your mind to live and shouldn’t reject it. A subconscious observer trying to protect my homeostasis can be very useful. Just make sure you are training it and it’s not training you.
4:18 Freudian psychology seems pretty simple to me. The Id is your primal self, your ego is what you want to be and how you want to be perceived and your super ego is conscience in self-refection.
You know - I don't think Freud "nailed it" - but he is into a lot of good stuff. All of these "great thinkers" had their own view of "the world", - from Darwin to Dawkins to Watts to Mann ... I think we should try to create our own world, and be kind to each other 😃 A good thing must be to listen - rather than to speak our mind all the time ...
When I speak of the Buddhist idea of Ego - There is two - your self, and a universal self. Self is a storehouse of preferences, and if we empty the alayavijnana, we may someday achieve perfection, a universal or pure self called AmalaVijnana(perfect being). Meister Eckhart and Vedanta in VivekAnanda would agree.

@@stigc.minkstuen Is your Mann, Thomas Mann. If so, I do enjoy his books. The problem is that the four people you mentioned weren't psychiatrists i.e. they weren't clinicians.
Do you drive a stick vehicle carpo, I broke down the other day. No transcendent opportunities within that situation. Turns out the clutch cylinder has exploded or something and that the price to fix would work out about the difference in cost it would’ve been for me to just go clutchless, unless the same happens to automatics
In French I call it "Au Bas Du Ciel" - do you think the universe hinges on you? Or are you a piece of the splendour. I argue that is why so may achieve a spiritual experience in places like mountains and deserts.... Stark wilderness or vast vistas puts our perspective into place... The self is at once a tool and a barrier to understanding...
