I'm questioning the idea/nature of a singular, concrete identity, the "self", that is doing the perceiving. This "self", the thing that seems to be the perceiver, might not be what common knowledge describes it to be.

I'm not claiming there to be a self. I'm claiming that there's a hardened practice for seeing directly the lack of self. The knowing quality is not self. As soon as we speak of neurons, however, we have location in physical space - and therefore, some sort of "self."
