1) Self 是自有永有
2) Ego 不是自有永有
3) Self 在 Ego 之前。Ego 有一個時間上的開始。
又說
5) "there is no movement from SELF to Ego or vice versa."
which implies both Self and Ego 是自有永有, 與 2) 矛盾.
[米]:No,Only SELF is there, nothing else is there. Where is ego? Since Ego is an illusory phenomenon, there is no movement deviating from SELF to create an Ego. Ego is simply a kind of mental thought from SELF, nothing else. Objective world is also a kind of mental thought from SELF, nothing else. When you are dreaming in bed, do you deviate from yourself and create a separate and objective identity inside the dream? No, you have no movement throughout the dream experience, all there was is a simply a thought!
Side notes: if both Self and Ego 是自有永有, there is nothing you do can get rid of "Ego".
