1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?

I have a beautiful experiment for you regarding control:

Thank you. Yes, it’s a cool experiment. I was already aware of no apparent controller in everything this body is doing from before we started this thread. I watch in amazement how everything happens by itself. Getting up in the morning ...

I do have some more questions. I am curious how you would answer them.

When spiritual masters like Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta gave the direction to " abide in the Self" or to be "established in the Self" what are they referring to? What is abiding in what? What is established in what? What ...
