About this episode

This episode explores the concept of ownership in relation to identity and the self in western culture.

In current western culture, the right of ownership is deemed to be fundamental. When we say, "I have a body," it is a claim of ownership, with "me" being in control. In turn, body/mind organisms claim ownership over other things, whether it be a car or some other country's natural resources. But where does this "I" entity reside? Where exactly? When we search intensively for this "I," what do we find? This Zoom session will investigate such questions.
