Everything that defines the self such as experiences, thoughts, and even our physical appearance is ephemeral and intangible. There is no particular thing to hold on to. It's all in a state of flux.
That may seem obvious, but to conceptual thinkers like myself, experiencing non-duality (no-self) and "Thusness" (as Alan Watts calls it) is difficult. It's why I designed subliminal posters for meditating: http://zission.com
The words are almost transparent for a reason. When the words are hard to read, the conscious mind becomes preoccupied with the image and the message imprints directly to the unconscious. It's a technique known as Critical Factor Bypass.
EDIT: This comment is becoming transparent too. Your conscious mind will ignore them because they are hard to read, but your subconscious mind is about to make a choice... about deepening your meditation... and feeling a growing sense of confidence... about buying my posters...
Critical Factor Bypass is a well known technique in hypnotherapy, and I could provide tons of links. That said, it's an experimental project and has been extremely beneficial for me. I thought I'd share.

That's cool, but when you make vague claims that sound kind of like pseudo-science, you should go ahead and provide citations and links and stuff, otherwise people think you're a nutter.
