To the extent that particular being forms around a notional self this self is not a thing but the general capacity for stories, that is for memory. The limit of the self is the limit of a story that you can tell yourself. These could be, are, many stories and they don't need to add up, only that you appear in relation to them as character or as narrator or just dreamed receiver. There is an outside to this field which is also memory but of a different sort, pure feeling without a subject, the background of embodiment; the first time something was felt, fear, pleasure, fullness, emptiness, before words, before distinctions, before the subject.
