[Help] The Superego - what to do?

[Wannabewizard]

I am realizing that I am at a superego level of interaction. Looking it up proves that all the noisy internal condemnation and put downs are in fact the super ego talking. It's good in one way that I know what it is, it takes some of the fear away, but it is still horrible.

I dont need my mothers voice in me, or her mothers voice, or anyone's for that matter

I can see that the superego contains the ancestors influence and anyone who has had supposed 'authority', including abusing scum. This would explain a lot of the internal visions of faces and flashes of situations.

I feel stuck until it's done. I can't afford to be stuck, got to keep moving.
Is there some sort of approach to making it all better?

Kick all of their asses, command silence and rule. Find the triggers that make you angry at them and heal that. Whether internal or external. At the same time understand that the mentality of ruling scum is what it takes to rule your own head and therefore also your surrounding. Look outside: people arent nice and lovely, they live from fear and wont take responsibility only rulers do.

And i assume you understand that ruling doesnt mean you go ' rob/torture/insert criminal act people because they are less'. Weed the bad out with care.

I think you mean authority. As in, 'I am authority'. Reminds me of the wisdom of Solomon and proverbs.
King, warrior, magician, lover.
It is an adventure to learn what that really means, and how to administer that within natural law.

It must be easy to be overwhelmed with a flood of voices at first, that eventually as an occultist, you learn that it isn't 'mental health', it is the energy imprint of your early influences. Not that it isn't crazy at the time.
I think that ancestor work will clear that up.

I like being king.
On the note of responsibility, it drives me wild that very few seem to care about what they could and should do, only what they are told to.
There is a huge cultural factor. I would even say that the super ego, is the culture.

Here are some resources for mental health support in the UK:

• Samaritans: Call 116 123 at any time for support from Samaritans. You can contact them by phone or online.
• NHS 111: Call 111 and select the mental health option for urgent help that's not an emergency. People with hearing problems can use the NHS 111 British Sign Language (BSL) service.
• Mind infoline: Call 0300 123 3393 or email info@mind.org.uk.
• National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): Call 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or email info@nami.org.

What you are describing is schizophrenia and has nothing to do with the "superego".

The superego is the part of your personality that keeps the base, animalistic, impulsive "Id" under control. It is your conscience, and the better of the 3 components of your psyche. That is if you even choose to subscribe to Freudian babble.

While the superego is developed from your upbringing, culture, and traditions, it manifests itself as mostly unconscious checks and balances, your sense of morality. The voices in your head are not your superego, they are your schizophrenia, and no amount of rationalisation or mental gymnastics is going to give you power over them.

Seek help.

When you say "Mother's voice," do you mean that literally? You hear a voice? Or is it a persistent thread of thought that won't go away? Or are you speaking figuratively? Meaning you have a thought that you can easily trace back to what a parent said? If it's either of the first two, you might consider taking SkullTraill's advice. You say it's "horrible," so the third possibility above seems unlikely.

You've contradicted yourself here, saying that it's a single complex, then saying it speaks with multiple personas. I hate to break it to you, but the super-ego is an archaic Freudian concept, and Freud would try to shut this site down, then do a bump of coke off your father's phallus.

At the source there is nothing in your head, there isn't anything anywhere, but that isn't helpful to you. There are millions of egos in your mind, each one takes the "I" stick and makes a thought, which you listen to and wrongly believe is you speaking, though you've correctly identified a few annoying ones as other "entities", again thoughts are impersonal psychic waves sloshing around in a skull you think has an owner.

You wrongly believe you are helpless to your thoughts, they're opinions you automatically believe cause they came from within but not without. You can disregard them and ignore them, even if they don't shut up. I don't think you're schizophrenic, you just need to start a meditation routine, as any wannabe wizard should.

I ought to clarify it's not a 'toaster talking to me situation', it's more of persistent negative thoughts, that mostly seem against spiritual growth.
It's tough for me to put down in words, and likely actually what got my brother into trouble when I suppose he was 'asked do you hear voices'. If your autistic and someone asks you that, you will say yes
Asperger and Schizophrenia used to often be confused.
I considered before Schizo affective disorder but not actual schizophrenia, it did not seem to match descriptions of it, following come channels on there experiences.
I use things like Freud as a reference, but not absolutes, it is always source first. I have come for fear what people say (such as now) less and I am glad of it. I am willing to speculate.
There is a resistance to quieting the mind in mediation, but it does get quiet when I persist. I do think it has something to do with a screaming inner child that wants attention and would rather play computer games than get better.

Processing old stuck emotions is helping, it means growing up into the real me and finding out what that is.

This is actually a lot better after several months meditations. A lot has changed and I'm working out my course.

I'll bear in mind what you have said.
Thanks for your concerns.

I just realized what I was trying to say is 'interjects' in psychology. Like as in your mother told you never to do something as a child, but you do it as an adult anyway, but her disapproval persists in you. If that's actually any better.

Well said, indeed.
