Merle,
I do not sweep him away.
I sweep instead to the forefront the word and concept always applied in
Buddhadharma, which is "self".
"Ego" carries too much modern baggage: Leave it in the train station, Doc
Freud. Doc himself did not insinuate it into religious discussion (say, into
Buddhadharma). So let's leave him INNOCENT, shall we?, and leave the word to
be used as he intended it, in psychoanalysis, and in not other realms undreamt
of by the doctah.
It does not enter Buddhism AT ALL.
Q.E.D.
Just consider "self". It's just right.
--Joe
PS Self is very different from "ego". Never mind.
