Non-self is not a zone to be reached, some inner geography that we must conquer.
Non-self is non-self
that which is not self,
The self is not non-self
Not everything that is self is not non-self,
Inhabiting non-self means ensuring that we do not reside in the self.
If I want to make non-self a zone of inner geography,
I transform non-self into self,
In reality, I have artificially created a sub-zone of self that I call « non-self »…that’s all.
By pretending to extract myself from it, I further maintain the illusion.
Extracting myself: what is that?
The self does not extract from the self,
Non-self is the extinction of these games.
The broken framework.

To do without doing. To succeed by not trying. To be by extinguishing.
Profoundly simple, excruciatingly difficult.

Oxymoron of ‘simple sitting’…

Very revealing is the process of self acting as non-self and perpetuating the illusion of self in more entrenched guises.

Hello there
..you are offering a definition of what underpins social interactions within some ‘spiritual’ circles…

Sure, I cannot disagree. “Social” can also be as entrenched in self, too as “spiritual.” I haven’t tracked your definition here of self nor full of “social,” but I assume it’s more about the self attempts to “blot it out” (the self) which make it all the stronger…
Kind regards, thanks 🙏🏼
