Linkage between Ego State Activation and Script Activation

Connection between Ego State Activation and Script Activation whenever an event occurs
* See Note Below *

Ego State is one of two most important core concepts of TA Theory. The other is Script.

Eric Berne, quoting Eduardo Weiss in TAP (page 19), says that an Ego State is "the actually experienced reality of one's mental and bodily ego with the contents of the lived through period". An ego state is generated, when the experience is deep, impacting, lingering and difficult to forget. Our brain develops rapidly from birth to the age of 10 years. The experiences of the first six years lie embedded in the primary system of the brain's neurological network. They are very difficult to recall, except in dreams, during hypnosis, and in psychosis. (ibid) There are eleven primary categories of recordings (per the findings of 'the Blue Brain Project' - Blue Brain Project - Wikipedia). An ego state simultaneously records associated memories contributing in generating one's self concept. They are comprised of value, worth, dignity, respect and esteem . . .  then of one's life position i.e. one up, or one down, or healthy . . . .  then of one's capacity for self responsibility . . . . . and lastly of type and quality of response. The recording of the same type of experiences, during different stages of development, and associated memories impacting self concept, become bundled. These bundled ego states are of one's own origin, or ones originating from other significant figures. Thus they form the three systems of Child (of own origin, historical and fixated relics), Adult (of own origin, contemporary and evaluated experiences) and Parent (of borrowed origin, historical). Ego state is the "actually experienced reality of one's mental and bodily ego with the contents of the lived through period" repeated here for emphasis. Every memory unit that constitutes an ego state, has visual, auditory and kinesthetic components, concerning the meaning attached to the experience - the meaning includes interpretation and also the meaning contributing to the generation of self concept aforesaid. The kinesthetic component is the link between mind and body occurring with activation of the related experience. This kinesthetic (bodily) component is the one evoked when emotion is aroused. When we confront an 'event' - this may be internal or external, it evokes thinking and feeling related to the event. Alongside this, the self concept enforces a filter to interpret the event. If the event arouses an ego state we need to deal with it differently because the present experience may reinforce our perceived view of reality. In case we fail to deal with it, it constitutes a 'racket'. This 'racket' is a term to describe anything 'scripty'. How do we identify this 'racket'. We are unable to unshackle our engagement with the ongoing thinking-feeling process when wrapped by this racket.  This process is also accompanied with blaming, finding fault, exploring why and how, and is accompanied at times with helplessness. This helplessness is at least with regard to we being unable to stop our engagement with the 'event'. This is what TA Theory calls a Trading Stamp. Thus the connection can be mapped as shown in the figure below.
