On identification with ego

Naturally, one become obsessed with identity in instances where one is devalued. But I also think that one identifies with one's own interests as a matter of course, too. What I am considering is that Buddhist "detachment" and the shamanistic dissociation away from morally identifying with one's egoistic interests have something in common --- although shamanism is ultimately less consistent in this, as compared to the Buddhism, because the shaman only wishes to dissociate from ego in order to make himself freer, and not in order to "transcend" or birth a moral system through his dissociation. So, a shaman may even choose to take a more egoistic approach at times, if that seems to suit the situation. The difference between shamanism and Buddhism -- although both practice detachment -- is that shamanism is a perspective that concerns itself with life in in a structural sense, whereas Buddhist training is more oriented towards a moral outcome.
