Aware

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
I am a buddhist. I believe that the creation of the "self" is an illusion. It is a creation of the mind to make sense of what is.
What are you looking for at LU?
A community. Not really sure how to fill this field with 190 more characters! I know all of this is not real. I know that everything we fill our lives with, concerns, worries are nothing but distractions. I am looking to find a community of people who gets it.
What do you expect from a guided conversation?
I rarely hold expectations. But as I said: I seek to find a likeminded community and to meet people who are more advanced than I. With a guided conversation I hope to engage in a conversation with someone who will see me with the same clarity l probably see the other person.
What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry?
I have engaged in self-development for decades and are a Buddhist. And to explain my "11" on the willingness scale below. I prefer to be made aware of held beliefs that l might not be conscious of, hence the 11. Its not about "willingness" its about becoming aware of hidden patterns.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how willing are you to question any currently held beliefs about 'self? 11
