Title: Many contemporary cognitive psychologists suggest that the brain consists of mod Post by: colleen on May 13, 2012 Many contemporary cognitive psychologists suggest that the brain consists of modules and that the self is an illusion.

Title: Re: Many contemporary cognitive psychologists suggest that the brain consists of mod Post by: ThePsychic on May 14, 2012 Buddhism teaches that the self is not a unified “thing” but a collection of thoughts, perceptions, concepts, and feelings that are constantly changing.
To Buddhists the unity and permanence of the self are a mirage. |
