Notes on Good Analysis - (5372)

Introduction

This post presents some notes on analysing the "I" in a way that leads to separation and comprehension.

Notes

General

In simple terms analysis is a tool of mystical death. It is more aligned with death than with life.

It is used to disassemble and reveal the basic components of an object or of a system.

Analysis in life is also used to reveal the functions of each part that makes up a system.

Analysis reveals the secrets of things and helps us discover where processes and events went well and didn't go well.

Analysis is often used to debunk certain beliefs and to test the value and strength of proposals and ideas.

Analysis breaks a process down into steps so that the process can be learnt, taught and repeated.

Analysis is always performed by the intellect. Never by the emotional centre. 

The mind for some reason as we all know is the one that spoils new ideas, initiatives, love and many other things that are inspirational and emotional in nature.

In summary, analysis is a tool that can reveal aspects of the truth. This is, why it is used in the work of  dissolving the ego.

Breaks Down and Allows Knowing

Analysis breaks things down into steps or parts. The whole is always greater than its parts. The whole looks very different when it is broken down into its parts. 

When we break an ego down into its parts we can work on each part. A large ego taken as a whole looks overwhelming and impossible. But broken down to its parts, dissolving it looks possible.

When we analyse any egoic reaction or desire we get to find out what it really wants, how it functions, what logic or reasoning it thinks by, what it says and does, what it perceives, what it feels and so on.

Analysis gives us something to focus on. We can then focus on for example, its thinking process, that is its reasons, and then further analyse them asking ourselves more questions about its reasoning. 

When we analyse thoughts we do so by asking several questions. One of the best questions to ask: "Is it true?". Another very good question to ask is: "Who is thinking that?".

If we know what an "I" wants, we can understand why it does the things it does and says the things is does and uses the centres in the way it does.

The most important piece of knowledge to know about the ego is what its core value. That is, what value of the essence is at its very foundation. The core value is at the heart of the desire of the ego and it is what the ego is trying to satisfy in duality, that is using external rather than internal means.

The result of analysis is further separation and laying down the road to comprehension.

Dissipates the Clouds of Illusion

One of the roles of the intellect and analysis is to dissolve illusion. When we analyse any ego we will get to the hypnotic grip, which is the part of the ego that does not make sense and that is the part that is often is ridiculous and is plainly wrong. 

Analysis will expose to our on eyes the lie of the ego and as well as its errors. Each ego is a lie, and is  in someway erroneous in its functioning and in its end results.
