This is interesting take. But the 5 skandhas are not a self. We mistake them for a self, but no self can be found. I think this distinction is subtle, but important.https://twitter.com/thomyor_/status/983691453321838592 …

That’s saying the same thing, as far as I can tell. Skandhas is one model, pretty good too, although I think it misses out on some of the socially determined aspects of what we usually mistake as self....Buddha could take some hints from Whitehead’s process-relational philosophy.
Although to be fair - that could be an impression resulting from my ignorance of the finer points of the skandhas.
Either way ‘form is emptiness, emptiness is form’ pretty much covers it. I also like the patterned-nebulously interpretation via @Meaningness - that an Aro thing?

Not an Aro gTér thing—not explicitly at least. I use non-standard words (pattern, nebulosity) to avoid arguments about details of Madhyamaka. My take on “pattern and nebulosity” certainly owes a lot to Aro teachings however.

Great - thanks for the links too, David
