No; as I said, "our sense of self is the construct of a number of processes working together". I went on to roughly outline the functions of those processes.So you think multiple personalities are the norm?
That's a reasonable summary of what I was saying. The self provides a referent for experience, and the sense of self that we have is the product of a number of processes working together; if one or more of these processes is disrupted or becomes dissociated from the others, the self becomes dysfunctional.I pretty much understand the SELF as that which IS the unifyer of ALL experience in a person... That when the parts of the self are disparate from one another we have a condition of dys-function...
OIC. Well, these are processes - they have a material substrate but they consist of patterns of activity in that substrate, so they are material abstractions - I suppose there's a sense of the immaterial about them...The absence of physical objects as referents for understanding of self...
Your understanding seems to require that all understanding be reduced to materiality in one way or another...
The question was how that applies to understanding of the self...
Or the grasp that understanding has OF materiality...
I do not reduce consciousness of self to perception of materiality...
