Never ending stream of I AM atmavadins posting at buddhism subreddit everyday.
I posted this post template (i have several so that i can just cut and paste in an instant from within my iphone notes) four times in buddhism subreddit just today alone, the same post in four different threads in https://www.reddit.com/r/Buddhism/ in just one day:
"I see many here have given you a reply like this: you are not your thoughts because you are the observer of your thoughts, or you are the unchanging true self, the pure awareness that is the ground of being of all thoughts and phenomena, like the ocean underlying all waves.
That is more of the Hindu atman-brahman understanding. Buddhism however points to a more profound insight into anatman (no self) and sunyata (emptiness) and pratityasamutpada (dependent origination). It sees through the view of inherent existence and the false duality between some unchanging substance and changing manifestations.
I recommend reading these articles which provide an account on how the different experiential realizations unfolded:

there r 2 lvl of understanding, from de-construction of conventional construct perspective and then luminous appearances perspective. Imo emptiness must be understood from DO perspective and as long as understanding of DO is not realized that nothing stands apart from consciousness, that is not the import of DO.

Listening to someone tutoring about "rainbow",
The teaching of science came to my mind.
The raindrops, the sunshine;
The light that enters and exits the droplets;
The reflection, refraction and light dispersion;
All these formed the rainbow.
But they missed the most important factor,
The radiance of our own mind.

need to have eyes in correct position, water droplets, light, radiant
mind, all like so for rainbow to appear. Move slightly and rainbow is
gone. Never came from anywhere, stayed anywhere, or went anywhere. The
rainbow was insubstantial, but vividly displayed. All phenomena are like
this.
Stian Gudmundsen HøilandLook
ahead and you see the table and your phone. Need "all like so" (tatha).
Look behind you and that is gone, but now a new like so and not
otherwise.
Dragan MilojevićWhat radiance of mind? Where is it, science needs proofs and evidence. Mind is only a perceptor and analyzer.
John TanDragan Milojević Science can prove the sad tears of a mother are H2O but can't prove the "sadness". As human, we need both.
But I like ur question, Where is this radiance?
Yes where is it? Even Buddha cannot know it's whereabout.
