In this episode, Kelsey introduces the deconditioning tool, the Not-Self Hierarchy, which is a framework for understanding the many ways the mind attempts to take over our lives and pull us away from our true authority. Rather than seeing the “not-self” as something bad or wrong, this episode reframes it as an inevitable mental process that becomes deeply informative when observed with awareness. The hierarchy isn’t about severity or comparison, but rather acts as a map for understanding how your conditioning operates and how different centers interact to create your personal not-self patterns.

For the step by step process to determine your personal Not-Self Hierarchy, the video of this lecture (unit 8.1) is available on Patreon, in which Kelsey walks you through this process.

What's Discussed in this Episode:

• Not-Self Hierarchy as a map and not a linear process
• The undefined center conditioning that show up on the surface that are more accepted by society
• Where more "existential" types of conditioning are rooted
• How Strategy and Authority act as the “solutions” to these patterns, helping the mind return to its correct role as the passenger rather than the decision-maker
• Invitation to identify your own not-self hierarchy and write a narrative describing how your undefined centers influence one another and show up in your life
