first and foremost,\i think one has to familiarize one's self,with "flux"....thre is only "flux"...we conceptually "freeze" productions in time and conceptualize it and give it a name...

what is "elf" coposed of ?
body,feelings,emotions,dreams ,perceptions ,
thoughts all is forever changing.thee is not a "thing"...the thingness is given by us through
conceptualization (basically illusion.)
no "self\" can be found either in individual manifestations(body ,emotions ,etc etc..)nor in their combinations.

Just like one's face in the mirror,we use it to tend to blemishes,comb our hair etc etc...but it is not real....self or the "I" is the same,no reality to it.just an illusoy conceptualization.

why ? because nothing can stand apart and alone
everything has to "inter-be" with everything else.nothing can have a "self" identity,so manifastations are empty of "self".
