Perhaps. Perhaps not. Think what you will. You have no other choice, nor
do I. Any understaning of this, "tacit" or otherwise, a delusion. No
problem, as long as you and I can still laugh and cry.

Self appears/is born. No-self doesn't appear/is unborn. Realize these
are but aspects of mind, no difference.

Of course. Self/Buddha Nature/Awareness is unborn (and therefore
never dies) and so is ever present regardless of what we are
thinking/doing. But suffering arises when we think there is an
independent 'I' having those thoughts. That we have this Realisation
is the difference. How this Realisation manifests is unimportant. For
some it will be sudden for others gradual. But you're correct that
Self alwaysis.

A tri-ku for you:
With each rise and fall
The breath is grasped and released
Each, a birth and death
Immersed in thinking
Self can be found nowhere else
Always lost in thought
Mind, a stream of thought
Following, or flowing by
The way, like water
