Both ideas of self and non-self are futile, for they are ideas only.
Ultimately, what both of these ideas try to interpret conceptually is self-consciousness. In order to state either of these ideas, consciousness of an "I"---where "I" stands for the non-conceptual perception---must lie at their root. This sense, so to speak, is the not beginning and the end. It is the root of all question and their answer. It is all and nothing, perfect and imperfect, clear and confusing.
