Anatta

Anatta outside of Buddhism


The ego is not master in its own house. - Sigmund Freud



Re: Anatta outside of Buddhism
“Clearing” (in the English version most of us are using) translates Lichtung. “In the midst of beings as a whole an open place occurs. There is a clearing.” (Martin Heidegger)



"The 'self' is a clearing in which phenomena occur." (Bob Budny)

“I may venture to affirm the rest of mankind, that they are nothing but a bundle or collection of different perceptions, which succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity, and are in a perpetual flux and movement.” (David Hume)
