This is why I appreciated you and Kenneth's discussion re: the self/ego. Saying the ego doesn't exist (and yet somehow it must be destroyed!) is flawed. Understanding that the self is an impersonal event, rather than an object that is "me", is a more useful way to talk about it.
-
An event and in more traditional language, a view. The ego is an event and the false context in which other events are experienced and reified. It’s the reification that gets us in trouble.
-
Yes, instead of "this is happening", we reify the ego and it becomes "this is happening to me".
-
Yes, and also “this is me happening.”
