[MD] self

[MarshaV]

Here are two RMP quotes concerning the 'self':

 

" 29. The MOQ, as I understand it, denies any existence of a

"self" that is independent of inorganic, biological, social or

intellectual patterns. There is no "self" that contains these

patterns. These patterns contain the self. This denial agrees

with both religious mysticism and scientific knowledge. In

Zen, there is reference to "big self" and "small self." Small

self is the patterns. Big self is Dynamic Quality."

   (RMP, Lila's Child) 

 

 

 

The MOQ, like the Buddhists and the Determinists (odd bedfellows) says this
"autonomous individual" is an illusion.   

   (RMP, Copleston)
