Self and Not-Self II-Five Varieties of Self
2012-07-18 Self and Not-Self II-Five Varieties of Self 64:23
Donald Rothberg
After a review of last week's overview of exploring self and not-self, we look at five aspects of self: 1. a more neutral sense of "mere I" 2. Cultural conditions to be a particular kind of self; 3. the social self related to others 4. the wounded or stuck self; and 5. the subtle aspect of separation from other things are person. We suggest practicing to explore these five varieties.
