The experience is not good; the cravings, habits, desires. This is neurotic behavior. So anatta is useful, just not an excuse. When that is no longer acceptable, anatta is a suitable deconstruction If you understand anatta you won’t get attached to the experience of your own name. you get a birds-eye view of the expanded process. the experiencer separates from the experience, but it’s not enough; you are what you experience anatta theory leads to a dissonance. If you grasp the practice wrong you will suffer: when Buddha said, sabbe dhamme anatta, he was well-established in the practice, already quite apart from his own name. When the self is discovered, it negates itself. One derivative of anatta is confession. Re-calibration of the intellect is only the first step. What happens to attention?
