A batch of the best highlights from what Armand's read, .
Maybe by not-self the Buddha just meant something like “not usefully considered part of your self” or “not to be identified with.” In which case he was basically saying, “Look, if there’s part of you that isn’t under your control and therefore makes you suffer, then do yourself a favor and quit identifying with it!”
Why Buddhism Is True
Robert Wright
If you want to become whole, etc.: Unless you accept yourself, you can’t let go of yourself.
Understanding where your life is moving and where it is blocked is essential to knowing where to spend your energy. If something feels stagnant, put your energy toward what is moving. Don’t waste your energy on what’s stuck. Love is always worth your energy. Always. Lean into what you love, whom you love, how you love. Love is an endless font of life force, and it’s always there for you. Good community is worth your energy, too.
