  can we realise anatta through observing visuals, sounds, feelings...?

  I don't know how to say e.g when a loud music is playing... we know it's ear consciousness...?

  Here's an advice I gave to someone, you can also try it: "In that case, spend time practicing being naked in awareness, which is to say hear the sounds as clear as can be in its pristine clarity and vividness... observe sensations with crystal clarity, sights, smells, taste, touch. Then contemplate and notice the fact that "there is no experiencer behind experience" or "in seeing just the shapes, colours, forms, no seer"... this can eventually lead to non dual experience and insight."

  @Dharmadhatu: Yes. In my recent article http://awakeningtoreality.blogspot.com/2011/12/experience-realization-view-practice.html

  @AEN,

  1.  I have read the article again and still feel some lack of clarity...

  No mind = just the scenery ...
  Anatta = scenery without the agent...

  The both feels the same, can you further clarify as it is said that many people stuck in No-mind

  No. No mind is no sense of agent, just direct perception of luminous phenomena. Anatta is realizing that always already there never is an agent, that it is a delusion. No mind is an experience related to anatta, but anatta is about realization. No mind can be temporary. Realization is permanent.
