For me, saying that you are a "self" or that I am a "Self" is like saying that there's a person in a portrait. It's not really a person, but it describes complex behavior of molecules in a pattern. A person in a portrait, a spell checker in a word processor program on a computer. All of these are objects that exist only in my mind and don't have ultimate distinctions in the real world.
That's what self is to me. It's describing an extraordinarily complex system.
