0318 - TALKS: Transforming the Sense of Self, part 2

Episode 0318 - TALKS: Transforming the Sense of Self, part 2
(Click on the above link, or here, for audio.)

Self-understanding, avoidance & receptivity in light of the Buddhist anatta doctrine & Freudian perspectives on ego-tonicity. Emotional investment in self & world-views; taking the false as real; avoiding personal pain.

Psychoanalysis of how we maintain distorted self-concepts, harmful behavioral patterns, & mistaken core beliefs. Fear of insight and attachment to limited understanding vs. sincere committment to "honesty in kindness and a lightly-held sense of self."
