Shaila Catherine:
“Most people perceive things through the distortion of desire, aversion, or delusion; grasping for objects with thoughts, “I like this, I don’t like this,” or grasping for self with assumptions of “I am this, I am not this. It is our predisposition and assumptions that distort perception.”

My two cents: I believe our “Ego” distorts desire.
Our “Ego” craves importance, approval and reacts when he/she receives criticism and loss.
He/She (Ego) judges, comparing our storyline to our life.
In fact our “Ego” is the ultimate judgment center, highly emotional and adolescent with emotions.
Criticism and loss are followed by outrage and anger or an attack.
The “Ego” has great impact on our storyline, how we see ourselves, worthy or unworthy, victim or thriver (surviver).
Follow your “Ego back to its source. You will not find a source, he/she is created for identity.
My PTSD improves when my storyline losses importance.
We do not take our storyline with us when we die.
Must not be important.

Is this the “Self” to which Dick Schwartz refers in his IFS work? The highest part of a being, without Ego? That welcomes in everything?
