S1E4 - Lose Your Mind To Find Your Soul: Unlearning the Ego

Get In Loser With Toni-Marie

This week I fly solo to take a deep dive into the nuances of our mind. The source of our greatest pleasures, and our greatest pains. It’s just you and me today kiddo—or should I say you and me, and your egoic mind? What if I were to tell you that there are a team of men in tin foil hats inside your head that together plot to take over your body, your free will, issuing orders and commands to you at every waking moment of your day?

These tin foil hat men govern your entire existence and from the second they suspect you may you’ve regained control over your mind and your free will again, they increase the mind control ten fold, sending commands to your body that you are a slave to them and you will never be free from their wrath. You would think I’m absolutely insane, not so?

Something like that couldn’t possibly exist. “I am in complete control of my thoughts and actions, I am a rational person,” you may think to yourself. Granted...but what about that voice in your head that just told you that? What else does that voice tell you on a day to day basis? Don’t you think that having an inner voice acting as a completely separate entity from yourself is a little insane also?
