You ever drop something and your body Intitutively fliches and attempts to make sure it doesn't fall? Or someone throws something at you unexpectedly? Was thinking involved in that process? Was there a sense of "I" that did that? No. It just happened. Now what if I told you reality was that like, everything was always like that, the sense of self being the illusion or wedge in the way of that.

This is an easy way to understand it on an intellectual level of sorts, ultimately the realization is more physical and intense. There is nothing "doing" it, we are more or less analogous to computers. No free will, no freedom of action, just puppets. I recommend you read UG Krishnamurti.
