Ego and Ahamkara and infants...

Ego ego and Ahamkara and infants...


When discussing the rise of the ego or ahamkara in infants after a couple of years...one has to separate the 'defensive response mechanism' from what is termed ego...Every animal is aware of its defense response mechanism otherwise how would it know it is being attacked or hurt...THAT IS NOT AHAMKARA EGO..Humans take the response and add to it and distort it...creating the huge ego they have..A child at 18 months will talk in the third person a lot, if you notice....Also the ego of western psychology is not the Ahamkara ego...
