Jack Elias Calls It 'Egoicminding,' Because It Is A Process, Not A Thing.Egoicminding Is A Fragmented, Biased Way Of Perceiving And Thinking. It Can Be Viewed As A Sort Of Destructive Hypnotic Trance That Causes Us To Experience Each Other As Strangers, As Different, As Threats.

The Model Of Such Therapeutic Relationships Has Changed In Recent Years, Due To The Financial Burdens It Places On Our Medical System.
