The outer ego should have been an assistant but has been indulged into a tyrant; however, it is more flexible than usually assumed and is not inherently rigid.

外在自我本应作助手却被纵容成暴君，但它比通常假定的更有弹性，不是天生顽固。

This program treats the Seth Material as a source of hypotheses, not as doctrine to be validated. Lead dossiers are AI-compiled from the corpus with a book-and-session citation after every statement; literature reviews are AI web-search summaries whose references were all DOI-verified against Crossref; the agenda draft is an AI synthesis. None of it is Seth's original text, and none of it represents scientific consensus. English fields are machine-translated; the Chinese text is authoritative.

Adjudicating experiment

About 360 participants are randomly assigned to cognitive flexibility training, decentering training, or expectation-matched health education, training for 12 weeks with 12-month follow-up; measure task switching, updating of rigid beliefs, personality scales, and informed other-reports, with active control to distinguish practice, demand characteristics, and stable changes. Clarify in advance whether 'flexibility' refers to cognitive shifting, personality change, or self-identity; otherwise, only different weak versions can be tested.
