Tripartite Structure of Ego
- The ego is based on three classes of thought.
3 Types of Thought
- The first type of thought is considered to be your permanent self.
- The second type of thought is considered to be your active self.
- And the third type of thought is considered to be your product self.
Ego Constructed of Thought
- These three thoughts are the actual makings of ego—not mere descriptions of the imagined activities of self as in, for instance, psychodynamic theory (superego, ego, id).
- The “I” is the result of having a thought about identity and identifying with that thought as if it were identity itself.
Tripartite Structure of Ego: Names
- It helps to name these three thoughts that form the structure of the ego differently both to bring out different aspects and to offer different ways for you to relate to and experience the information.
- See the table below for naming these three thinking parts of the ego.
EXAMPLE
- First, you think it is you who knows what to do; second, you think it is you who does it; third, you think you are the result.
- Three lies in quick succession as you are neither thought nor thought of thought.
UNDERSTAND
- The main thing to understand here is that the self is not thought.
- Self is a living being, not static or variable thoughts.
DO
- The main thing to do about this is to remove your identity from the thoughts of self as self and then return your identity to your real self—self as being, as a living vessel, container, transceiver, or mirror.
SEEK
- As soon as you have a goal for yourself that is based on thought—you are lost.
- You can only seek in truth if you seek in spirit.
- What you seek cannot be of thought, or it is only ego expansion.
- What you seek must be felt and/or hoped for but never thought of.
- Less is more.
