What No Self Really Means

No-Self is a Buddhist term that can sound threatening like we’re being asked to give up my very sense of personal self. But, when we dive deep into self-inquiry, we discover something quite surprising: there never was a personal separate self. It was all smoke and mirrors. There is no ego to kill because you can’t kill a fictitious concept. But you can see that it is simply not true. And what remains is this very alive, spacious awareness which could be called both empty and full; both no-self and Self.

Your voice is incredibly relaxing to listen to. I'm not the most well versed when it comes to spirituality so hopefully I can learn some things from your videos.

Welcome. I'm pleased you find my voice relaxing. Being new to spirituality is not necessarily a disadvantage. It really comes down to a willingness to look within with self-honesty and curiosity and perhaps some courage and see what is living this life in one's own direct experience. Wishing you well, Don
