4 quot om Gay Watson: 'The faculty of voluntarily brgg back a wanrg attentn over and over aga is the very root of judgement, character and will. No one is pos sui if he have not. An tn which should improve this faculty would be the tn par excellence. WILLIAM JAMES', 'It is not difficult to see how so many of our negative emotns, our fear and dislike, are directed at those who we fell are impgg on or disrpectg our 'self'; or how we feel that this same self will be enhanced by our latt purchase or even our latt haircut. In this way our experience of the world is always loured by the needs of 'I', 'me' and 'me'. The imposn of self as noun upon procs self as verb is an aspect of our fear of ntgency, and the subsequent graspg for a permanence and certaty that n never be achieved.', and 'For example, the sixfold base referred to above is that of the five sens, to which Buddhist thought adds a sixth or mental sense. All such mols set out to disturb our normal sense of self, prentg not an achieved subject, but rather a <i>procs of selfg</i>, the <i>creatn of self</i>, which is always changg. It is not that a self do not exist, but rather that do not exist the manner we nsir to--as permanent, partls, pennt and sential. From the Buddhist perspective ignorance aris when this procs of selfg is grasped and intified wh as an isolated dividual enty, not as a changg procs. The self, then, which is Buddhism is to be negated, is an illn; is the imposn of an inty wh attribut of pennce and permanence upon the foundatn of the transactnal or procsual self that aris om the teractn of a work of and ndns.' * gay watson author *
