if you mind is not holding on any concepts, completes as it is, that can be a moment, the outside

When Buddha emphasized there is no self, he spoke that from his own enlightenment
experience, the small inner ego self vanished, that come to realization what I recalled myself
was nearly illusion. If you force yourself, that you don't have self, you are denying you self, the
moment you are denying that, you are remind yourself about your existence.
