Thanks for everything!

Is there someone speaking or speaking is just happening?

Just speaking

Focus on the raw sensation and let me know what is there.

When no thought, then just sensation. The me image is there but seen as image.

Thank you for continuing to help clarify and push 'me' into further clarity!

Who or what is saying "there is more to see"?

By goat, do you mean thought? I assumed was just a typo so looked at thought ...

Once again, can you say with a big fat YES that there is no separate self in any shape or form, there never was, it will never be?

Is there you to be clear or not clear about this stuff?

No. Whether a 'me' seems clear or not is more thought / imagery. I don't need to believe it to be me.

Is there you in any shape or form ...

You are familiar with vipassana. When you say :the sense of self feels like a sensation : split apart the raw sensation with the thought "sense of self" : what happens?
