 # Self
 
-- See also: [[flancian]], [[identity]].
+- See also: [[flancian]].
 - The self is constructed and can be deconstructed.
-- The self is in some ways an illusion.
-- Losing your self can set you free.
+- According to [[buddhism]], the self is in some ways an illusion; it is [[empty]].
+  - Losing your self (e.g. experiencing nothingness, cessation; even temporarily) can set you free from some of the trappings of being; it makes it evident that the [[default mode]] of being is just that.
