Understanding no-SELF
The red
line (i.e. an everyday, ‘emerged’ phenomenon, usually called a ‘self’)
happens as interface (i.e. as a self-real standing wave) between two
(impermanent) states of turbulence (i.e. between 2 turbulent conditions
complexes). When the turbulences (i.e. the conditions complexes) change, the
line (hence self) changes. Change is continuous.
When the
turbulences (i.e. conditions) cease, the line disappears. In short, the red
line, and which experiences itself as ‘my I’ or ‘my self’, is merely an
‘emerged phenomenon’, hence has no own existence (to wit, is anatta, not-SELF). No bit of the red line exists within either turbulence
or before the turbulences arise or after they cease. The red line
experiences ‘distress’ (Pali: dukkha) because pressed (i.e. stressed)
together by two (indeed, countless) fundamentally violent turbulences (i.e. in’structions
storms). If and when the 2 turbulences are quietened, calmed and so on, then
the red line (i.e. the everyday self) together with its ‘distress’ is
extinguished. Distress extinguished if called nirvana. The red line,
i.e. the everyday ‘self’, is hardened and sustained by the two (to n)
turbulences. When fuel is withdrawn from the turbulences, the everyday self
attenuates, thereafter disappears.
