Within the Lens of Non-Nonself, we see no unchanging, permanent self.

  • Looming Shadow - Essentialism, the belief in a permanent, independent self or soul, directly contradicting the principle of nonself. It is possible to observe Nonself, and then in another moment, be convinced that there is some "self" that will last indefinitely.
  • Flickering Shadow - Self-Negation, an unhealthy denial or rejection of oneself, stemming from aversion or misunderstanding, appears like an understanding of nonself but is not.
