Once you know, no need to think.

So where does our perception that our ego is in control come from? Why do we feel that we, personally, are in charge of our process?

The ego has a lenticular nature. Not only does it collimate and focus psychic energy, it reflects it as well. Incident energy of the right frequency and direction is neither absorbed nor transmitted. That energy is then "perceived" by the subtle centers and is re-"cognized" as coming from some incident source. Since this energy has our "signature" it is common to our origin and is taken as such. The ego is but a pale imitation of the self and only interferes with our ability to actively participate in the process of presence.

All kinds of interference patterns are set up within the ego and each and every aspect is delineated and defined by the energies that it provokes. These "emotional" states have nothing to do with actuality and everything to do with actualization. How we are fooled into thinking that we are not what we are is part of the problem. That we must use this information to determine and rectify those areas of our make-up that require adjustment is, indeed, the purpose of our presence.
