No self...

The state of no self is actually a pure manifestation of inner spacious reality,
Being in its openness, we experience it as empty space, immaculate and pure,
light and clean, empty of everything structured by the mind. However the self
reacts to the sense of no self in many ways -- as a loss, as a deficiency, and
so on, plus the associations, memories, and feelings that go with these
interpretations. All this psychic content pervades the inner spaciousness so
that we lose sight of its lightness, purity, immaculateness, and freedom.
Instead, we feel it as deficient emptiness, dull and flat, heavy and dark. Only
when we allow this emptiness to be, without judgment or rejection, without
reaction or opinion, does it shed its obscurations and reveal its inherent
truth: the state of no self, the freedom and openness of our Being.............. (The Point
