Managing the troubles of Life.
Spiritual Ignorance: On the Earth, our sense of self is predominantly based on our body, whether in the sense of brain activity producing thinking, hormone activity producing emotions or muscular activity producing movement. The body has appetites. We are driven to supply it with air, water, food, warmth, security and sex. An effective life provides it with a supply of these things without absorbing all our time and energy. Appetites are not the trouble. However the ego, operating through the superficial consciousness, identifies itself with the body, then becomes attached to its appetites, creating desires over and above the body's basic needs. Because the ego includes a component from the 3 Minds, this attachment enslaves the 3 Minds to a degree which grows over a lifetime if no effort is made to counter it. Then at death the Deep Mind Intelligence may be unable to disentangle the 3 Minds from the body's energy field and ego, so choose to abandon them leaving the person to suffer the fate of a 'remainer'. This internal confusion or ignorance is the main factor preventing awareness of our real Self. It is the usual human condition and few people escape it. As a result, people dedicate their whole lives to food, sex and money, social standing, or intellectual pursuits, depending on their dominant brain, only after death realising their terrible mistake.
