If you decide to reply to any of my posts, then have a look at the empty box. It will take whatever you type in it, and you also have the option of editing your post later on. The essence of the box will always be empty.

This doesn't explain to me how you 'personally' experience anatta Bundokji?

Rather than looking outwards, I turn my gaze inwards to the essence of what I perceive as 'me' and ask myself...where is this within this physical form I call body? If 'body' comprises each of my individual parts - my legs are not my body; my arms are not my body...so therefore I have no 'body' as such, so therefore there is nowhere for my sense of self to be.

Using your analogy of the mirror...it cannot reflect my 'self' as my 'self' cannot be seen, so therefore the mirror cannot always take what is put in front of it.
