Overcoming our 'False Self'

I'm reading Linda Kohanov's latest book called Riding Between the Worlds. In it she discusses the importance of overcoming what she calls our 'False Self', that is the part of us that discounts our feelings, emotions, instincts and intuitions. That little voice in our head that tells us we are crazy, or stupid, or dumb. It's the voice that rationalizes away our instincts and intuitions as explainable occurances. It is that little voice that keeps us in check, and in a constant state of unawareness. I don't know if its possible to completely overcome this little voice, you could say that it's just a part of consciousness, but when I look at the horses that are completely awake, they don't seem to have this little voice that tells them they are limited. Some people would argue that of course they don't, as they don't live in a high state of conciousness, they don't recognize the passing of time, they don't realize the finality of life. I would have to say that I would argue against this. You mearly have to be in the presence of an awakened horse to see that they survive not only at a highly consious level, but perhaps at a level that is even higher then our own. They can easily and readily influence energy and intuitive pathways. They influence us, both mentally and physically, every time they interact with us without our even knowing it. I believe they exist in a consciencousness that we can not even begin to understand until we start to release that inner false self. We must begin to believe in the power of our selves, and believe that just because we can not explain it away doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. They exist in a state where they realize that the finality of live is a part of the journey, there is nothing they can do about it. They know that they in time all things are given back, bodies, energy, and souls. I believe that they realize this...
