What you said is a load of rot Andrew, but you think its Truth and bung my **** into 'ego' (called 'mindset' in this case). That's how the bulldust is upheld. I've seen this show before.

what he said is that he was not surprise when you said that his talked doesn't make sense to you.

because i think that he has appraised you as a logical positivist (just do or just be guy), that's the mindset thingy he was referring to.

so most like you do not concern your self things like the problem of consciousness (how sentience came out of inanimate objects) or questions like is there other dimensions besides ours.

bu he does and like to ponder about these things.
same case with la mont, he can't appreciate andrew's musing because all his concerned about is to be a loving husband, a good father and a good provider.

ps. i realized that i may have misrepresented both of you. my apologies. but it does illustrate some of the misgivings happening here in the forum.

Wasnt it a founding father like freud that made up the word " EGO" ??? Is that right?
Maybe WE (LOL.. sorry guys crashing in on WE humour here love what u wrote Lamont and White Shaman)... should just think .. hey is this a good thing or a bad thing? Does it hurt anyone????

hybrid, Yes, you misrepresented me. I am not "concerned" about being a good husband and those other things. I am a good husband, a good provider and I have quite a bit of time left over for lots of other things, including writing and running a charity. It's one thing to be "concerned;" it's another thing to enjoy who you are and to be grateful for what is.

finally, someone challenging the idea of "ego." so exciting. how could anyone claim to know what it is. it is funny that freud invented the idea and the next thing you know it is fact. people speak of it as if it were a tangible "thing." it's just an idea about "something."

Like that one smiler :)
Ego is nothing more than a function of the mind, as any part of the mind or of the body for that matter... all have its uses...
I love your simplicity Smiler... very refreshing...
Blessings
