Re: How can you practice Brhamavihara and Anatta the same time?
i can contemplate Name&Form (senses, sense objects & elements) establishing the perception of anicca, anatta & dukkha in the internal and the external
having thus established the perception of anicca it is natural that perception of equanimity will be established
having thus established the perception of dukkha i can contemplate the origination and the escape
by contemplating escape i can arrive at the drawbacks of ill-will element & the drawbacks of cruelty element
having arrived at the drawbacks of ill-will i can contemplate the benefit of metta as means of escaping Dukkha
having arrived at the drawbacks of cruelty i can contemplate the benefit of compassion as a mean of escaping Dukkha
that would be a practice of Brahmavihara and Anatta at the same time more or less,
as i see it anyway
Imho It is actually quite powerful when one connects it all like this by discursive thinking, as in talking to oneself
it is like logical deduction and arriving at by reasoning, makes an impression

"Beings" ("satta") are said to be merely "conventions"; that all there really is are merely constructed (sankhara) elements (dhatu), as follows:
However, just because all conscious experience is merely elements (dhatu), this does not mean the mind (citta) must have aversion, hatred &/or violence towards those elements (dhatu). As Osho Rajneesh said: "Hug a tree". Hug earth, wind, fire, water, space & consciousness elements (dhatu).Why now do you assume 'a being'?
Mara, have you grasped a view?
This is a heap of sheer constructions:
Here no being is found.
Just as, with an assemblage of parts,
The word 'chariot' is used,
So, when the aggregates are present,
There's the convention 'a being.'

There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.
