Perhaps inSelf Yoga’s approach to this may be explained using the buddhist vocabulary like this:

Far from being the solid center of experience, a sense of self is created moment by moment, by means of an instinctive identification with aspects of experience — our body, feelings, perceptions, thoughts, emotions, sense-consciousness. But that flickering sense of self surrounds a transcendent center of experience which itself radiates a constant stream of neutral awareness-consciousness, and which senses the presented moment to moment sense of self.
