==Dissonance between the Ego and Heart==
==Dissonance between the Ego and Heart==
Cognitive dissonance happens commonly between the beliefs of the [[Three Layers of the Ego|ego mind]], and the core beliefs or truth that exists within evidential facts as considered through the open heart and spiritual intelligence. If we ignore our spirit, and go against our heart intelligence to give consent to the ego intelligence, we create cognitive dissonance in our thinking which manifests as unresolved conflicts that generate energetic blocks in our pain body. These blocks are created when consciously aware of dissonance, or unconsciously reacting to dissonance through uncontrolled impulses. Dissonance or uncomfortable tension that we feel is very strong when we believe something about ourselves and then perform an action that is against that belief. Dissonant based tension and anxiety is much more powerful when there are conflicts about our self-image, who we believe we are, and what we identify with as our personality. The more dissonance, tension or mental anxiety we feel, the more attachment and dependency we have to defining our self-image based upon those sets of beliefs.

[[Mental Anxiety]] produced from cognitive dissonance magnifies considerably in relation to how important the subject is to us and how much we identify with it. It also relates to how polarizing the opposing thoughts are that are in conflict within us, and our inability to rationalize, explain away or resolve the conflict. This makes it clear that [[Confirmation Bias]] and [[Self-Justification]] through [[Ego Defense Mechanism]]s are commonly used to explain away the conflicts, in order to make people feel instantly better. People will ignore evidence that is contrary to their own beliefs, in order to preserve their mental beliefs that have become important to their personality, and to avoid feeling the tension of conflicts. It takes personal dedication to honestly face internal conflicts in order to evolve past cognitive dissonance and into the higher clarity of [[Discernment|discerning resonances]].  This means asking equally if we are being lied to through mass manipulation, or if we are lying to ourselves to avoid a painful truth.  In either case our [[Consent]] is not in alignment to [[Universal Laws|Universal Law]], and we can feel this through our heart intelligence.
