Dear Bezhad

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

No! The separate sense of self is an illusion so doesn’t exist and has never existed so in other words it’s not like you get rid of it, but it is just seen that it isn’t there ...

Dear Behzad

I'm sorry I wasn't able to reply yesterday - our internet connection at home has gone down so I'm posting from work.
