I think that Buddhists and other knowledgeable types say that egos are just fictional entities. Some of you would have had the feeling of engulfment, when you can't say no and your will is taken over.
A lot of my problems (if problems they be) come from an invuluntary desire to merge. (This is sounding like William Burroughs, as in 'Declan just schlooped into someone else'.)
A second's thought provides the psychodynamic thingo...recreating the absent mother-child bond. But anyway, that's just me....but identity?
I was once diagnosed as having a lack of identity. This was true insofar as I would find myself talking in other people's voices, which is going too far for community standards.I wish I had something more to say. Anyone else got stuff to say on the subject of identity?
I shall close with those beautiful words from the old Communion Service...'That we may evermore dwell in Him and He in us'
