why do must i disagree?... " self"...is it such an ugly concept?.. after all are we not the self of all selves including the greater self which some of us see as "god"..? when we discard "self" and stand naked as "non self" are we liberated? are we free? merle Merle, Huh? No, Dr. Freud first used the word "ego"; I think he scrounged it from the Latin, to fill in for something in his model of the small mind as he studied neurotic Jewish ladies in his neighborhood who came to him for what he called "analysis". Freud had it right for himself and his theories; but the buck stops THERE. It's of no value in Buddhadharma. "Self" has always been the operative word, there. So far so good. Do you disagree somehow? --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > joe.. > > can you direct me to some relevant web info on this... > so are you saying that dr. freud got it all wrong? > are we not all buddhas and demons and mixtures of both? > so why are you suggesting dr.
