This is the introduction to the third of the seven practices of the Way of the Higher Self, Own Our Judgments and Reactions as Reflections of Our Selves.  The point of this practice is to question the stories our brains tell ourselves, especially about our interactions with others, which can be distorted by a tendency to overgeneralize from past experience.  Karl provides a very specific step-by-step technique to unpack unpleasant experiences and interactions, so we can see how they were driven by not necessarily reliable interpretations of reality.  In this way, we can tame our tendency to enlist the lower self to protect us against imagined “threats.”  

1:25 - Start 1:44 - How our brains normally interpret reality 13:42 - The benefits of understanding our mental and emotional patterns in order to change them 16:45 - What is integration, and how do we integrate and transform lower self energies? 24:30 - The technique of “clearing” with life circumstances
