As i said , the ceasing of the six sense bases has to take place first before anything going to happen . Otherwise we would end up in conjecturing . To use another kind of phrase , "Otherness" happens once "you" or the "i" are gone .Ceisiwr wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 10:50 pm That doesn’t change the epistemological problem. You can’t know that universe is infinite or not. If you say it’s infinite it’s possible you haven’t seen the edge. If you say it’s finite it’s possible you haven’t seen far enough. To say that Nibbana is something which exists forever, how can that be said? Perhaps it’s because you don’t yet see the end.

It is the Unformed, the Unconditioned, the End,
the Truth, the Other Shore, the Subtle,
the Everlasting, the Invisible, the Undiversified,
Peace, the Deathless, the Blest, Safety,
the Wonderful, the Marvellous,
Nibbæna, Purity, Freedom,
the Island,
the Refuge, the Beyond.

I formulated the question with the perspective that True-Self = Self. For example, asahi is no different from True-asahi; it cannot be said so for False-asahi.
Anyway, the False-self exists, like this:
- perversion of perception in taking not-self as self
perversion of mind in taking not-self as self
perversion of view in taking not-self as self
- perversion of perception in taking not-self as self

Any kind of speculation and view about the nature and existence of the self is best to be abandoned.
What is advised is not to identify anyting with the self.
Abandoning self-view is not meant to include only one version of it but all of them.

The answer is clear: WrongSabbe Dhammā Anattā'ti
Nibbāna isn't "Self".

It is justified to equate nibbana and 'true self' due to of the same evidence (i.e. lack of evidence) these two phenomena are based on. However "Only Nibbāna is the true self. " does not apply because many concepts are known that lack evidence.
"When let go all, Nibbāna is true self. " sounds like esoteric gibberish ... and in addition "When let go all" sounds like a condition which contradicts the doctrinal "conditionless" or "unconditioned". So nibbana should be independent of "let go all".
"All beings are interconnected." might apply to ignorance: all beings are interconnected and ignorance is what connects them.
"Nibbāna is the All Pervading Reality." might be compatible with the doctrinally "unconditioned" nibbana.
