I point people to see that self is an illusion. No one disappears in the moment of realization. The whole of the experience reveals itself as a tapestry of Life that does not requirer a doer. When "I" is seen for what it is, the veil of illusion drops, what's left is what is - experience without an experiencer - Presence - Awareness - Life - Nature...
There is no need to identify with a small "I" as a body/mind or bigger as Presence, Awareness, in fact, if identification happens, we look further, there is still subtle grasping at this point. There are myriads of ways how awakening moves after this, the main component here is trust. Trust in the intelligence of the life itself accommodating new perception in the most efficient way. For some can be falling into peace, for some - dissolution of conditioning/habits of the mind in different ways, including dramatic changes in familiar structures of one's life.
Realizing emptiness of the self/"I" is followed by, or happens at the same time with realization of emptiness of "others" and "the world". The illusion (Maya/samsara) is seeing, and that, from which all comes, reveals itself. Both seeing as inseparable one. There are no more doubts left and this realization molds one into "one who is in the world, but not of it". Life continues.
