The ego is a most formidable enemy (the most formidable), and the only weapon at our disposal up for the fight is our spirit. Tai Chi should be (but rarely is) a way of honing the spirit and directing it to this end.
The mind, as such, is totally unreliable. It is a cowardly opportunist, siding with whomever it sees to be winning the battle, and dousing the fire with its wetness. The mind's surety is a sure sign that the battle has abated, for a time.
