The Word Self Is Like a Storm

The word self is a designation. But it's... It could be understood in the same way as today's weather came in just on time. Because the image I use is that of a big winter storm. So we use that word and we understand what it means, but actually there's no thing which is a storm independent of the snow and the wind and the cold. These are the elements which when they come together we call storm. And so the sense of self or the idea of self really refers to the changing weather patterns of our experience. As we look we begin to see our experience in terms of the aggregate. We begin to see the momentariness of experience arising and passing.
