"We also build up an image and an idea, and a deep-seated attachment to, an
equally symbolic sense of “self” which can experience and enjoy these
apparently independent objects and which seems to possess equally independent,
intrinsic existence. We imaginatively create a locus of subjective experience,
an enduring referent to the notions of self and “I” with which we can identify
and hold as our own. We imagine that we actually are an enduring subject which
exists independently of the external objects around it, which it can possess
and enjoy. Our entire world of experience is experienced in reference to this
self-wrought self. Man, the “self-making” crea- ture, constructs the subject of
his own existence which may dwell within his self-constructed home.
"These parallel processes of the reification of object and subject constitute
the main target of the Buddhist (and particularly the Yogacara) critique of
ordinary, worldly consciousness."
