Buddhadasa's essay "Anatta and Rebirth" might also be of interest here as well:

Great document Stuka:

Second page paragraphs 2 though 5 have given me the confirmation of what I have always called a "psychological need" for mankind to believe in something that is eternal so that the mind can abide there and delight with it. Thou when this atta has an instinctual root is why it becomes so threatening to accept anatta even when it is correctly understood.

At the fourth paragraph, Ajahn Buddhadasa tells about a kind of Cultural teaching which we call in Anthropology a "True Self" narrative which from it is difficult to take distance and understand that is something we have been told again and again.

Thanks,
