Terminology is nebulous and contradictory. I have not had every experience or attainment entailed in someone's practice, real or imaginary, obviously. It's "a" no-self, but what would be "the" no-self?

Probably the wrong crowd, but I really don't rate Buddhism, nor anything else. Everything a Buddhist can do, I can do too. Everything I can do, they can do too. Excepting, perhaps, a lot of window dressing.

If you atomize awakenings or realizations or insights into little tidbits of wisdom - which I have no opinion on whether you should or not - the awakening or realization or insight that words are intrinsically worthless really changes things. A lot.

If not in training or lineage, I've become one of those annoying Zen disciples who scorn words. I... kind of enjoy it. Gets even worse on low-to-zero levels of conscious thought, at which point I'm markedly less inhibited in fucking with people. You know - empowerment.

Oh, it does. I fuck with people all the time. People shrug it off. You don't appreciate how many filters most people run on their experience until you shut most of your own off. You can't shut them all off, but boy are there a lot of bonus features running at any given time...
