I've heard of anatta and atman. Which are no-self and self. My view on no self is the total dissolution of the ego, where our mind stops identifying with that delusion. I'm not pretending to have reached that state, I only have an intellectual understanding of what it is.

More like "non-self". Thinking in terms of totalities tends toward extremism. This is a developmental process, not a "either/or", "black/white" endeavor.
