It's an artifact of language. > If the answer is "the ego", then what is the differentiation of the > ego with the i) "you" (above) I honestly don't know what to call it, or even if it can be thought of as an "it." It's "that which identifies," perhaps. It isn't the individual ego, obviously, because that's what this unnamed *thing* identifies *with* before enlightenment. Maybe it's Bronte's/MMY's "universal ego." I'm not sure it matters what it's called; to name it won't help define it. > Which are volitional? You mean, which have "free will"? I think the notion of "free will" is an artifact of duality, so I'd say the question is meaningless. > Same question of Bronte, or anyone, if the above framework is your > understanding, or experience.
