The way I look at it Marsha, is this: "What I think" is one thing "Reality" is another. That's just your basic rule of being. But the line between the two is flexible and a creative and conscious choice. THAT is the MoQ insight into the situation. The outline of my self is the inline of the world and the creative act of drawing the line is a dynamic process. which doesn't permit any sort of hard and fast line in the sand, the kind that reductionist westerners crave. oh well Quality and me - easy to label, hard to define. > > > Marsha > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Carl > Sent: Saturday, September 26, 2009 12:09 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [MD] ego vs self > > Marsha, > On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 10:27 AM, MarshaV <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > You can choose to be a finite self, but for how long? > > > > "how long" is a question about the future.
