My Self
Why is it that we have made God in the image of us? Why did the Buddha speak of the “no-self”? What if there is not a self? Difficult questions all but questions worth exploring……
We are not independent beings/selves, quite the contrary we are totally dependent beings: on the air, on the water, on the sun/universe, on the food from the earth, on each other and on our finite bodies. Thus, in so many ways this self that we have been taught is self-sufficient is fiction.
The world’s advanced societies seem to have lost sight of these truths and as a result have embarked on a course of self-destruction. Are we destined to destroy the self only to discover that there was no self to begin with?
