compares ego to water. Water is poured into different cups, and it is in different shapes.
and our life and thinking is to transfer water from one cup to another.
What you can perceive, show and show yourself all the time is the process of water forming a shape in a cup.
so is the ego.
there are different explanations from different angles, but there is a most appropriate expression: if all our thoughts revolve around life, then the self is the consciousness of constantly experiencing, thinking and living in the present.
meditation encourages people to discover and explore themselves.
Only by constantly experiencing, thinking and feeling life can the self be unfolded and take on a different look.
yohji yamamoto once said: "self" is invisible. You will know "self" only when you bump into something else and bounce back.
So, it's self to collide with something very strong, terrible and high-standard, and then know what "self" is.
