Any understanding / knowing / experiencing of the mind / world is related to a self that is.

So you are right to question who is doing the understanding of no self if there is no self.

What I would say is that there is indeed no self or there is indeed beyond self, but it is not of this worldly mind understanding such concepts.

It can become muddled to say the very least when there is an individual saying there is no self present for it would be likened to pointing at one's own reflection saying there is no-one here or there pointing or perceiving the pointing lol.

What I see said a lot is that just because there is Self awareness or Self existence / being .. then when there is awareness of the individual mind-body experience it must be true that there is no self present because of what is beyond self.

It's misunderstood in my eyes. You are either self aware or you are not. If you are not then there would not be the thought that I am not.
