Who is looking?

I'm thinking..... looking at the looker and not finding him puts the mind to a blank. A silence. This is the same as "Who am I?" question somehow. But it s indeed not the same as "There's no looker! look", or "there's noone there, look!", or "check it!". Putting the mind to rest with an open question is not seeing no-self.
Also, I've been wondering around what guys like Ramesh are saying about the inquiry. Basically, the self-inquiry puts you in silence, killing the questionner for a while. But the seeing the inexistence of self cannot happen throough the efforts of anyone. It's the "will of God" or the Totality deciding, noone else...care to shed some light about this subject that noone can decide or excpect or do anything about the actual seeing of no-self, vs look look look and pop?

Sure, there's no free will. There's no separate agent making decisions. All "decisions" are a direct result of the combining environmental and phenomenological factors. So, what "makes you look", or the act of looking, is the coming together of just the right elements in just the right moment. No external entity needed.

Maybe that's what you meant by the Totality deciding. But it stops even seeming like a decision. Just unfolding.
