About the Book

Read Ego Playground to Discover--

  • Ego Games We All Play
  • Ego Endless Loops
  • Ego Knots and Traps
  • Ego Insanity in Relationships

Mind Traps and Quicksand

  • Ego Playground is a collection of numerous mind traps that the author has discovered or helped others to overcome during his many years as a mental health counselor.
  • This collection of inner dialogues contains examples of accepted insanity, bogs, circular reasoning, delusions, ego, endless loops, hypocrisies, illusions, internal conflicts, knots, maelstroms, maya, paradoxical problems, psychological games, quicksand, scripts, snippets, tangles, tapes, traps, and undertows.

Source of Mind Games

  • The mind games were collected from practicing therapy, meditation, recovery processes, and through the inspiration of primarily the following four books: "Games People Play" by Eric Berne, "Knots by R. D. Laing," "Reason and Emotion in Psychotherapy: Revised and Updated" by Albert Ellis, and "Freedom From the Known" by Jiddu Krishnamurti.
  • "Ego Playground" is an advanced collection of self-defeating loops, while the beginner's guide collection of self-defeating loops can be found in "Garbage Rules."
  • To understand the structure, purpose, and payoffs for human ego games, read "Games Ego Plays."
  • To enjoy related quotations, sayings, and aphorisms, see these books: https: //kevinfitzmaurice.com/our-books-help/sayings-aphorisms-books/.

Poetic Format

  • The self-defeating loops, scripts, or knots are presented in a consistent poetic form.
  • Each poem is written in three triplets.
  • A triplet is a three-line stanza.
  • A stanza in poetry is similar to a paragraph in prose.
  • This format became the poetic form because, over time, it proved to be a useful mold to induce adherence to the essentials of the desired meaning for each poem.
  • The three by three format also allows for deviation in the way to read the ego games or poems for modulating their emphasis and meaning.

Poetic Strategies

  • Sometimes poets purposely reverse normal wording or phrasing in order to awaken their audience to some meaning that has lost its savor or become dull over time.
  • People often wind up preferring particular poets and styles of poetry.
  • One of this author's favorites is Haiku, which is a Japanese style that includes a fun Senryū variation.

Titles of Poems Provide Meaning

  • The title of any poem or ego knot can be used to direct the meaning, to glean the meaning, or to play on the meaning of the knot/poem.
  • Other poetic stratagems were also used, such as alliteration and enjambment.
  • Furthermore, the three-line form allows for symmetrical typographical design.
  • You might look for outlines of shapes within the white space, such as a vase, goblet, or tree.
  • Since this book is left-justified, and because you might have purchased it as an e-book, the shapes may or may not appear on your device.
  • Sometimes the break in a stanza does not fit the break in thought or voice.
  • The beginning lines of an idea or voice are left-aligned, and the lines continuing that thought or voice are indented farther in order to indicate where a break occurs.
  • Read and Enjoy!
