It is not so much that you use your mind wrongly- you usually don't use it at all.
It uses you.
You believe that you ARE your mind. This is the delusion.

Thanks Busycat.
After the ego is transcended you still have a mind, I think I mentioned it in an earlier post, its called the working mind.
Its a very complex subject.
Dr David Hawkins wrote about 300 pages on the subject.
Eckhart Tolle keeps it simple and in away it is.
If we stay present in the NOW the ego cant exist, it needs past and future to survive.
Ive been fortunate to have been at two of his seminers and one weekend retreat at Findhorn. By an amazing coincidence he and Kim his partner were at the same small Bed and Breakfast and three of us share the breakfast table with them, a lovely humble person, very attentive to Kim, a gentleman.
We spent over an hour talking with them.
Thats my spiritual ego telling you this.
Be happy.
