The Legs of the Belief Structure

The teacher describes how the sense of a separate self is held up by distinct attributes, each of which can be loosened independently.

It began and it will end: when the body began, and when the body ends. All of this is a belief structure, and these are different attributes. If I tackle the sense of agency, I loosen one of the legs. If I tackle the sense of location, I loosen one of the legs. If I tackle the sense of persisting in time, and the reality of time, I loosen yet another leg.
