Self is an Illusion

I've always liked the practices and ideas of Buddhism. Every chance I get I'll do a presentation/paper on Buddhism at school. Which is what I'm doing now, again for about the third time or so. But the focus is on anything relating to death and dying. So the soul, life and death, personality, grieving, rituals, etc. This allowed me to read more into Buddhism and made me realize how much I think like a Buddhist. I've always considered myself agnostic but also Buddhist if anything. I do not actively practice Buddhism, but I do agree with a number of its teachings. The wheel of Samsara is quite interesting, enlighten yourself, click image. I learned several new things yesterday while doing my research, including about Karma and past and future lives. I'm not going to take the time to discuss those but merely this post is reflecting on my realization of my thoughts in regards to Buddhist ideas.
