The human ego in its current models is a fragmented and internally conflicted operating system. This condition creates affective and cognitive deadlocks, repetitive self-sabotage, delusional projections, and stunted capacity to function as a responsible adult. Spiritual practice must focus on the integration and resolution of contradictory attitudes and drives. Once accomplished, your consciousness can expand to higher levels of intelligence and creative power that can blossom into total freedom and fulfillment.
