The Layers of Consciousness: Mind, Ego, and the Self | Small Talk Series Ep 6

This podcast explores the concepts of mind and ego from a spiritual and yogic perspective. Partho describes mind as a vast spectrum of consciousness, with layers ranging from rational thought to higher intuitive and spiritual awareness. Ego, or "ahankar," is viewed as identification with the self, which can either aid or hinder spiritual growth. The discussion emphasizes the importance of silencing the mind for spiritual progress and cultivating a balanced ego for a fulfilling worldly life. 00:00 Trailer 00:06 Discussion on concepts of Mind and Ego 03:04 Layers of the Mind: Thinking, Emotional, Subconscious 04:50 Consciousness & The Evolution of the Mind 05:52 Silencing the Mind in Spirituality 07:10 Intuition vs. Rational Thinking 09:38 The Sanskrit Word for Ego: Ahamkar 13:35 Importance of a Healthy, Positive Ego 15:29 Conclusion: Mind, Ego & Spiritual Human Evolution
