Guest guest Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 Dear Chris When I begin each session I show the Western chart and their "sign." I say that we in the west use this to identify the ego" "I am an Aries!" In Vedic, it is much deeper, here we see the Sun as the essence of the person or the soul. In a sweet book I am reading entitled "The Enlightened Gardener" 4 psychologists discuss mental health versus mental illness with the old gardener. The psychologists are, of course, attached to dis*ease and the gardener to mental peace. As the story unfolds, the psychologists are attached to the ego as an essential to mental health. Then the bring up the Buda who suggests that for enlightenment and peace we must release the ego. Anyway, the summation is simple. Do you believe Freud who cut us into pieces and called on the ego or do you follow the enlightened Buda who sought to help us become one with all? I do not look for the ego in the Vedic chart because in my approach I seek to help the client unify not separate. OK, I'm taking a long deep breath and am bracing for the debate. <big grins> cynthia - Chris Hanlon <chrys333 <gjlist> Saturday, March 02, 2002 9:52 AM [GJ] Hi Jay Weiss > Got it. The ego is the Sun.
