Hi Bundokji,

The second paragraph of your post #6 looks as though its been derived from "Ego - the False Centre" by Osho ( who's not a Buddhist teacher)

This awareness is a reflected awareness. He is not aware of who he is.

He is simply aware of the mother and what she thinks about him.

If she smiles, if she appreciates the child, if she says, "You are beautiful," if she hugs and kisses him, the child feels good about himself. Now an ego is born.

I was asking for peoples own understanding, not for them to paraphrase the writings of someone else such as Osho.
