The key to realizing NO SELF

[Razard86]

When you watch a video or movie, that movie and that video has no self, it is a finished story that already happened. The Realization of NO SELF is EXACTLY THE SAME THING. The present moment is ACTUALLY THE PAST!!!! That is why there is no self, how can there be a self when everything has already happened!!! Life is just a movie....of events that has already happened. As such, there is no LIVE MOMENT, that is an illusion. You are just watching a story, a movie that has already been written!!! TA DAH!!! You know what that is? That is DEATH!!!! You don't look at a video of someone on Youtube and think its alive, you think its dead!!! But when someone records live you think oh that recording is alive!!! Well I'm telling you, everything already happened so in actuality you are just watching DEATH!!!! FUNNY HUH?

@Razard86 If I have a memory of a past, it happened but I bring it back alive. I dont see that as death.

So, the future is actually the present?

 What about Razard on a forum? Are you dead?

I prefer to see everything as alive. The present moment is alive.

When you watch a video, that video is being hallucinated in real time.

But of course still no self.

The hallucination of a "me" is hallucinating pixels on a screen as being alive and in real time.

Who is there to realize?

Infinity is dreaming up all imaginary selves. Awakening is required to experience that beyond logic

It's one thing to experience memory. But it's another thing to experience the one having the memory.

"I have a memory of the past" 

Who has it?

I see it opposite, primarily there is only a live moment IMO.
