Whatever you define (as subject) as "self" (object) cannot be your self. For more on this I recommend Maharshi's "Self-Inquiry" method.
I see what you are saying and intellectually I can even agree. But it's not an intellectual matter, because it's not a matter of the mind.

It is a matter of the mind because what matters to your mind is *all that matters*.

Is it? :)

Of course it is

These discussions are maybe entertaining but fundamentally meaningless, in my view. The problem is that they can also be misleading.
-
My view: Know your mind first. This requires awareness. The more aware you become, the less you identify with the mind/thought phenomenon.
-
There is no difference between self and awareness in definition or experience.
-
Exactly.
-
All awareness springs from the mind... all self springs from the mind.
-
To define something is to differentiate it. That is the mind, not awareness. When you are in a state of non-differentiation, who are you?
-
Define "state of non-differentiation". I am only aware of one "state" and it is called existence
-
See?You think you need to define it to understand.My question was pointing exactly to that. It's not about defining, it's about experiencing
