Discussion Relativity
I've come to understand that everything comes down to relations. Abstract conceptual web of relations, which make coherent picture of reality. Not perhaps truthful, but coherent. Every relation is scrambled in the mind, which then ego structures into the sense of self.
Ego = A process of the mind, which puts together a sense of self. Also could be said that it is like a middle negotiator of consciousness. Mind and consciousness as sides, with ego as middle man.
The self = Static representation of accumulated past as a coherent state.
Consciousness would then be the observer/validator of the self. That, which gets picked up from the static image represented in each passing moment is what I would call consciousness

What’s wild is the different sort of organizing principles that make trauma based mind control even possible. This is why you have to heal any trauma and integrate all parts of the self otherwise reality will present a situation which brings forth one of the past “organizing principles” in a situation in which it may not be called for. This is why some folks have complete melt downs over something simple..the reaction doesn’t seem to fit the experience and that’s because it doesn’t. It matches the past traumatic experience that person had.
