well, if you're not the body, then you certainly can't shed it. Or get reborn as a worm.
It's pretty easy in these days of Amazon Prime and free books on the internet to end up with a library of wonderful texts from many traditions, but then due to different translators and even different meanings of the same word, such as the word "self", to miss a point now and then, or get confused.
Moreover, these teachings, many of which were oral for a long time before they ever got written down, were designed for widely different audiences and environments....the "9 vehicles" in some yogic traditions, for one example, come to mind.
But poke around this material for a while and this kind of stuff might pop up:
there is no subject, no object
there is no enlightenment, no path, no karma, no samsara, no nirvana
no doer, nothing to do, no birth, no death
no self spinning around a wheel of life and death.
Personally, I like that point of view, but it may not be the perfect cup of tea for others.
