Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Dear Fox, Good point. I have seen it in other forums too, this endless discussion that there is no ego, there is one, ther is no, etc. etc. It depends one which position one has: 1. There is no entity called ego or self which can do. 2. There is a reactive structure whith its conditioned responses. I personally prefer to use the word ego to give that structure a name when communicating with others. It is the same with " psyche " (Greek: Soul). The whole world of psychology is working with and on the " ego " . Why shouldn't one use the word too and in addition know that there is no entity ?
