The Paradox of Impermanence

The Yogacara school of Buddhism asserts that we all have three natures. The first is imaginary, made up of projections of the ego. The second is other-dependent, which is equally unreal—but focused on the superego and its appendage, the external Other. Fortunately, we also have a third nature, and this is our sovereign freedom. This state of Self-realization is beyond duality and intellectual conception.
