"The mind turned inwards is the true Self. Turned outwards it becomes the ego" - Sri Ramana Maharshi
One's Conscious Mind aka Thought or the Inner I can be used one of two ways.
It can either be used to create thought from the mental realm in response to what the eyes of flesh have feed it or
It can abide in mental stillness keeping its I - its sense of knowing I am-ness in the moment which is the vessel of the One Soul, awaiting intuition that 'comes' to mind as a vision (As in an idea which just comes to you) which it translates using the mind from right to left before passing it along to the subconscious for the eyes of flesh to behold in the outerworld.
The former is a recreation of history. It is Ego.
The latter is a creation of Spirit. It is the true Self.
