I wonder if this lines up with the psychology of Internal Family Systems (IFS): https://www.reddit.com/r/InternalFamilySystems/

Basically, that we are a collection of inner-selves, not a single self. IFS provides a framework for working with our inner selves.

Or maybe the self is an illusion.

Both.

There are multiple selves, and each one of them is not as set in stone as we think.

I've given up on reddit since their redesign. I know there is the `old.reddit.com` trick you can do, but I can't be bothered.

Is there a non-reddit reference to this "Internal Family Systems" thing? I'd be interested in looking into it more.

From an IFS perspective, it sounds like DMT introduces parts that guide our attention toward the Self. That's different from regular IFS parts - protectors and exiles - that guide our attention away from the Self.
