What you experience as sense of self is a phenomenon at a certain scale in time as well as in various kinds of contextual space; it can be analysed into smaller units and also seen as emergent within larger wholes, and indeed its inter-relation with neighbouring scales forms a large part of its reflective and delibaratory activity. In this way it is embedded as an emergent within the world=phenomenon. The simple recognition of all this is a different matter and cannot belong to the same set of events. This recognition is therefore not a phenomenon, has no parts and no scale. You only know it by analogy with mind, but it is not mental, not of the mind.
