Glen, from my 4th part, where I was talking about Feynman's saying and a difference between *our makes* and *creations of our Geniuses*, I thought that it was clear that two "me" are actually: me and my invisible Genius (or esoterically - ye, I know that you hate such stuff :-) But how about "The Matrix"? - speaking "Higher Self"). Sorry, it was some fuzzy-ness in my definitions but I think that it is an essential stuff in moving toward a clarification... --Mikhail

Yes, by "inner self", I was talking about Mikhail's latter "me".

So, I do not intend "inner" to mean "inside a container". I mean
"inner" in the sense of the mental constructs we build when thinking
about our selves. A model of our selves as viewed from within.
Both "me"s are part of the self, which is exactly the point I was trying
to argue with Mikhail, neither the physical self nor this endo-self are
less real than the other.
