In fact, because your values are unique and you have a hierarchy values that are completely fingerprint specific, when you are living in alignment and congruent with what those highest values are, you automatically make the biggest difference because you're not subordinating to conforming to other people, you're being unique to you. And I don't think there's anybody that doesn't want to live that way. This is when I'm being true to myself, my true self, my true I, my true ego.

So in my case, I'm dedicated, I have a high value on teaching and learning as you probably guessed and as a result of it, when I'm teaching and I'm researching and I'm sharing what I discover, and I'm inspired by that, and I get to do what I love to do every day doing it, And so in the area of your highest values, this is what Freud was calling the true ego. So when you're living in alignment and congruent with what you value most, because you're willing to embrace both pain and pleasure in it, it's so important to you that it doesn't matter what the obstacles are, you'll turn them into opportunities, you'll see it as feedback, not failure, you have a more objective view and embrace both sides of life and see both sides. You're just, you're in an awe state of thanks. Not just your existential volatile, personas and masks that you wear during the day, but your essential self, the true you when you're in tears of gratitude, you're authentic, you're not judging, you're embracing yourself and others and you're seeing things the way they are, where there's nothing to fix or change, And misleading at most and very commonly sells to people that are new on the journey. I've seen mystics spend their whole life doing that, and they still have a mind and they still have their ego. But I dare you to fulfill that and pull it off. Now sometimes Eastern mystics wants you to think that you want to get rid of your ego, you want to get rid of your mind and you want to be just spiritual and this kind of thing. Now, Freud, if you were to superimpose Freud's language on top of the hierarchy of values that each individual has, the expression and fulfillment of your highest value is what he would call the true ego. Where you learn most revolves around it, what you have as a purpose revolves around it. This highest value is one of the most important things to identify in your life and to structure your life around. And because the things that are really important to you, you excel at, you tend to expand, you tend to achieve. But you are intrinsically called and spontaneously active on the things that are really important to you. And they'll require extrinsic motivation to get them to do it, a punishment if they don't do it, a reward if they do is almost required for them to keep being reminded and motivated to do it. They tend to procrastinate, hesitate, and frustrate in the pursuit of them. But whatever's low or lower on their values, And whatever is highest on an individual's values, they are spontaneously inspired from within to pursue them and fulfill them.

So, every human being has a set of priorities, a set of values, things that are most to least important in their life. No drive in human beings comes without looking at human values. Now, in order to do it justice, it would be wise to start with the area of human values, because that's really where this comes from. So if you've got your pen and paper or your note pad, or somehow to take notes, I'd be feeling you probably want to have these notes and use them, interacting with other people. Put it into a model that will make them very sensible and show you how they overlap with the things that I've been presenting many times on values. And I I'd like to do my best to try to clarify what these components meant. And I've seen many pieces of literature, particularly Eastern mysticism that has said we need to get rid of our ego and the ego is bad and you know, you've got a big ego and, they've used these terms, in my opinion, out of context. And there've been many interpretations of what these mean and what they represent. This has led to much confusion of people throughout the next decades to follow. He broke the psyche down into these components. It was called the tripartite aspect of the psyche. Freud used the terms, ego, id and super ego. Today's topic is on something that I think you'll find more than fascinating.

Id superego and ego
