Again: what is the Self?
'If we stop clinging to Self, only to turn around and cling to No Self, have we really progressed any towards truth? It’s still clinging to views. In an effort to deconstruct these teachings, let’s try something.
What if there is a Self, but it doesn’t mean what we’ve always thought it meant? Sometimes we first have to shed our old views of something to finally see it. Can’t see the new if the old gets in the way all the time.'

The only thing I can "promo" today is the sample stories pinned to my profile. Yesterday, I deleted my web-novel Mars Needed Women (#RSMarsNeededWomen) as I am now heavily revising it and proofing it. The 23K story was essentially a first draft when posted it on Mastodon as I wrote it over 31 days, but now I've added plenty extra material (see my A2 answer, which greatly improves the chapter titled Shelter). I will be shipping out a beta to my beta readers probably next week. Of course, if anyone else is interested in becoming a beta reader, go ahead and PM me.

“Cessation” is an important word in Buddhism, and it’s one that I like to define as the fading away of the sense of self. The sense of self fades away when we don’t attach to an experience. Cessation occurs when we learn to look at experience objectively.
~Ajahn Viradhammo
The ego doesn't begin. It binds.
Time doesn't pass. It loops.
Repetition isn't failure. It's structure.
