Inner Dialogue Dynamics
- Our inner dialogue often involves a "prosecutor" and an "advocate".
- The prosecutor criticizes us, while the advocate defends our identity.
Self and Intellect
- We develop a sense of self through layers of filtering information from our senses.
- Our intellect discriminates between what belongs to our self and what doesn't, based on our ego.

- Early experiences shape our ego significantly, as our intellect initially lacks strong filters.
- Unchallenged negative messages can lodge in our ego and influence our self-perception.
