Eating Ideas

During meditation this morning, I observed how the sense of identity (ahamkara) eats ideas by absorption of the energy of the idea. When this happens, the substance of the idea-energy disappears as it is absorbed.
Ideas are mental objects. They are temporary but their energy is relished by the sense of identity anyway.
In this transcendental observation, the core-self saw an idea which was released from the invisible intellect (buddhi). This is like when an egg is released from the ovaries and is then drawn into the fallopian tubes.
As soon as a thought is released from the intellect, it heads for the sense of identity, which if it is allowed to use its natural response, will absorb the idea.
The core-self does not usually experience itself in isolation (kaivalyam), because it is surrounded on all sides by the sense of identity, which is a transparent supernatural energy, which the core-self seems to not have a way of eliminating it.
I noticed that when the idea is absorbed by the sense of identity, this idea is chewed just as if a human being chewed a piece of soft cheese. The cheese will lose solidness and disappear.
Where does the thought idea come from?
It comes directly from the buddhi intellect orb. It is released by this orb after the orb processes the idea. First the buddhi intellect orb acquires information and impressions of sensual experiences. It then receives related memories and references which were acquired previously. These are then processed and then they are released from the intellect.
The sense of identity is greedy for the idea energies which are released from the intellect. Subsequently, the sense of identity is supportive of an uncontrolled unregulated intellect.
The core-self is always detached from these mental and emotional operations but nevertheless this detachment is a passive feature which does nothing, or does very little, to protect the core-self from not endorsing the actions of these adjuncts.
=================================
I must clarify one other thing, which is that usually the intellect does not release these ideas. The only reason this occurred like this is due to my repeated attempts to master the Patanjali system of suppression and ultimate elimination of the formation of thoughts, ideas, images, imagination and memories in the mind.
Usually when a student sits to do meditation, he or she will be subjected to harassment by the invisible intellect orb. This happens in the way of this orb giving a free video shows which the sense of identity and the core-self views.
In that situation the ideas and thoughts are not released from the buddhi intellect orb. The orb, instead of releasing these idea-energies, decompresses and then displays them. Usually the thoughts in the buddhi are in a compressed form like the zip files of a computer. These files are micros-energies. The intellect then opens these files where they are expanded and then displayed in the intellect itself. Since the intellect is invisible, the core-self only sees the images which the intellect displays in the open space of the mind.
The sense of identity is a transparent response energy through which the core-self views those images on the scene of the intellect. The self is satisfied or traumatized by the display.
If however the student gets successful with the Patanjali system of completely disabling the intellect, there will be times when it is only partially disabled. At such times, during meditation, the student will find that the intellect releases these compressed energies, which are immediately grabbed up by the greedy sense of identity.

Because I read this post a couple of questions popped in my intellect, two of which are:

unlimitedsun’s query:
Is the mechanism of imagination the same?
When it is said subconscious is there a corresponding organ to that pool which would be the intellect?
Is part of the subconscious ingested/embedded in the sense of identity?

MiBeloved's Response:
The subconscious is not the sense of identity, and it is not the intellect. Subconscious is located in a totally different place and it is neither of these organs but it does have a correspondence with the intellect, where it releases information packages which are sent to the intellect for processing.
