Hello cmbaye,

One thing is for sure. You are getting right into the core of what the Buddha taught and that is a good news.

I will do my best try here:

The Non Self issue can be understood through meditation and the development of Right View as the forerunner of the eightfold noble path.

The view that has to be developed goes through the careful experience of "This is not mine", "this is not my self" and "this I am not".

To reflect about the illusion of ownership is a good meditation/contemplation object to be started with.

Once we have realized the illusion of ownership we can feel a relieve of a burden that makes life easier and happier.

We start to understand that the desire of possession of whatever is about craving and it is the main source of unsatisfactoriness because the nature of all things -including ideas- is impermanent and incapable of bringing us permanent happiness.

When we start to experience the quenching of craving, where there is no real need to have or posses anything at all, then it comes the realization about the pain that attachements have brought -and still bring- to our life, because of that ilusion of ownership...

We do not own anything at all. Letting go is the way of the peaceful and developed mind.

Anyway, hope that somebody can give us here, a better understanding...
