Is there an expectation that thoughts won’t come after seeing through the illusion?

Re: What's the nature of myself?

How do you feel to see that?

I feel more free as I am seeing that I am not a separate self.

How is the movement controlled?

It's not controlled by nobody. It just happen. Life ...

Really, can you choose a thought? Is there a basket of thoughts from where you pick one of them?
