There are still greater things out there than ego death, with your realization you can help others attain liberation.
With your pure conduct, you can set an example for those in your proximity.

So, is this what liberation is? And no, some people are not ready for this.

>So, is this what liberation is?
If you've really had the insights and made them stick. Otherwise it's still a good sign of the path. Those who have attained liberation in the Theravada sense have accumulated good moral virtue as a result of their practice, they don't cling and don't grasp, they no longer have a sense of separate self, they are Arhats.
In the Mahayana sense, this realization is a part of the path, but incomplete without Bodhicitta, the wish to help all sentient beings attain liberation.
>And no, some people are not ready for this.
You set the example with your conduct. Some may need thousands upon thousands of rebirths until they get it.

Tell me something, since I'm a bit confused here. If there really is no self, how can reincarnation be true?
human
Of course the self is real don't be silly. There is no self we are all one. Self is a temporary illusionary concept that should be embraced/abandoned. You are you and you know this to be true.

I now know that the self is just the summation of mental graspings. If you know this then ego death is triggered and you will literally experience the emptiness
