Today's episode explores the intricate world of our psyche and ego processes, shedding light on how they can sometimes lead to confusion.
Drawing parallels to a bustling city, the psyche is likened to the city's infrastructure, with the ego as the mayor trying to maintain order.
However, when the ego becomes overly ambitious, chaos ensues. The episode delves into how social and cultural conditioning further complicates our understanding of these aspects, creating inner conflicts akin to city planners with different backgrounds.
Tune in to unravel the mysteries of the human psyche and ego with a wink and a smile.
