I am trying to see through the illusory self

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
I am not the body. I am not the thoughts. The senses are non dual and thoughts overlay the sensory experiences by commenting on the sensory experiences. There is no separate me having a separate experience. We usually take ourselves to be thoughts, but thoughts cannot see, taste, touch or hear.
What are you looking for at LU?
I am looking for guidance and clarification about dropping the me or realizing clearly that there never was a me to begin with. It always was just happening. Direct pointing towards my true nature will be humbly appreciated.
What do you expect from a guided conversation?
I am diving into it without expectations. I think through conversations the guide can assist me to clarify certain blind spots or fixations I may have. I feel like I understand this intellectually but it is not my direct experience yet. Direct pointing with a guide can facilitate transmission.
What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry?
I have been meditating for over a decade. I came across non duality about a year ago. I have read a few books on the subject. I have watched countless videos on YouTube about non duality. I have done self inquiry.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how willing are you to question any currently held beliefs about 'self? 11
