Buddhism teaches "anatman"

There is no soul, there is no self.

Oh, so what you "experience" is just what popped into your head, instead of what you "hear or see". Riiiight.

Experiencing may not definitely depend on what you hear or see. It might be beyond these physical senses. Intuitions, for example are completely independent from our other senses. When we try to meditate we try to zero on self. That can be an experience too and we use none of the physical senses then. Instead we try to shut them off.
"Popped" into your head can be an experience, yes. It all depends that how much you lived a thought, an idea or even a dream.

Check again. I said that Buddism is based on fact of self realization (not soul).
The exact words are "East has always believed.........."

While you're tripping and shutting out physical input, try not to get run over by a bus, or eaten by a Bear, because that is reality, that is truth.

Well, thats not how I meditate. Sitting on road, or a jungle. I wonder that where you sleep. Marshmallows, or tropical forests I guess?
