I really do like that image, whether it is “Being” or “Non-Self” - “Anatta”.
I used to call this as “awareness sense” i.e. using (space) awareness as a sense.

The thing is that Self judges, Non-Self just observes “What Is” without bias.
Here on the forum we have to use words, ideas and concepts that our mind-maps (= our mind's summary of life, universe and everything) has put together. But getting into emotional drama mode about TA vs NA and forming action groups for or against, that to me just makes a total farce of Non-Duality, because it pushes one to solely identify with the judging Self, and I feel
very uncomfortable with this.
Non-Self (or what I called “the awareness sense”) cannot
“otherize”:
[To make or regard (a person, social group, etc.) as alien or different.]
…. Instead Non-Self observes both self and other equally, is at an equal distance from or to self & other.
But of course on discussion forums the situation is different than “real life” situations.
