For me the concept of self is a tool that we employ and it has contextual validity, but in other contexts it is a non thing. We use terms like I and Self, but these are tricky. We say for example, I am hungry, and in a way we have become or personified hunger with this manifestation, but it is a trick, for we are not hunger itself. It becomes more subtle when we look at it from the point of view of: I am me, or simply I am. We have then personified self as self, or self as being in a manner. Perhaps this too is akin to the same thing as the personification of hunger insofar as it is a frame of reference that has some illusory potential as far as understanding self goes?

What is self? Is it experience? Is it mind?

I cannot identify the location of my experience as local to me, oddly enough. Nor can I really identify where my mind is, in terms of the line between it and everything else, it has a focus, but seems to pervade all now in a strange way.

It is for me merely something to think about.
