I don't find "no-self" to mean no "I am." Quite the oppsite actually. In my experience it is reduced somewhat to "Am", but material existence does not depart when identification as an existing form goes. Once the walls of the lie of identifying as a separate individual self collapse the existing form is free to actually live this life. There is no loss of this life when it is seen that this life is not the sum total of what we truly are.
