How does no-self feels like?
The felt sense of “self” is a contraction. But u won’t know u are contracting because u don’t have a comparison of “not contracting”. It feels Normal to u. So most ppl live with a strong sense of self thinking it’s normal.
But once anatta (no self) realization stabilises, the boundless felt sense is so strong that it’s so hard to contract.
U just feel like the whole world when u wake up and walk around and there’s no Center to contract to.
And u don’t need to even put in any effort. u don’t think about how u sense the world unless being asked. It’s natural for u. The body sensation is just purely another sensation like a sound. Very pure. U don’t think much about it really.
But everything is very close to u.
Coz the energy that “I feel like me” is in everything.
It’s a very intimate feeling.
It’s hard to imagine how to harm others when i have this strong “me” feeling in others too. It’s feels counterintuitive.
After awhile, U will even forget how is it like sensing from a self. And the idea of other ppl sensing from the head is just really really strange.
u remember once u used to think that too and u wonder how can u think that ? It’s so obvious there’s no one there.
That’s Anatta imo. That’s how I experience it.
It sounds radical but actually
Very ordinary.
Life just goes on. In anatta.
