Self in the mirror: Uniting occidental and oriental views

The self is a complex system that no human being can ignore and yet it is still incredibly abstract. The present paper will apply occidental as well as oriental perspectives in its study of the dynamic of the dialogical self. Inspired by the work of David. Y. F. Ho I take on the task of looking at myself in the mirror to study the aspects of inner dialogue. The analysis is done with integration of Dialogical Self Theory and Dialectic perspectives. Leading into an illustration of the dialogical nature of spirituality.
