Wait, Are We Talking About Yourself, Myself, or The Self?

In the section entitled "Soul-Searchers and Sooth-Sayers" in Ganeri's The Concealed Art of the Soul the concept of what the 'self' is persay, is one idea that I have already found myself wondering.

     "Whole has become one's very self (atman), then who is there for one to smell and by what means? Who is there for one to see and by what means? Who is there for one to hear and by what means? Who is there for one to greet and by what means? Who is there for one to think and by what means? Who is there for one to perceive and by what means? By what means can one perceive him by means of whom one perceives this whole world? Look-- by what means can one perceive the perceiver?

                                                                                                                                                   (BU 2.4.14)

Everytime I run across the word 'self' in any of these readings, my mind becomes puzzled. It is only within such writing can you understand and misunderstand and interpret these sentences into complete thoughts. At the core of the matter I can grasp the concept of the perceivers point of view being different as the angle ( whichever type that may be) given is different. On the other hand, the problem lies in the separation of one's self from its human source. The idea that the self is not a conscious part of who we are as people make me question my own centric composition. Who am I? How does my 'self' relate to this dymanic?  Why am I constantly going around exclaiming phrases like "How can you know others if you don't know your self?" .when I should be saying "How do you know your self? Who is the 'self' mentioned? and Where is this self?" We are told to trust only ourselves and our opinions are the only ones that matter, yet the existence of the selves of othes are the basis by which we live. What 'self' do we attempt to appease? How is it we "know" who we are if we don't know ourselves? I find my subconscious wearing the 'self' hat yet isn't the soul supposed to harbor there? Or is the soul, in this case my soul compiled of things others' selves told me I am? How can I examine myself whole heartedly if I can't see myself? Who is to suggest the self that is perceived by others is no the same/ different self that I carry each day? My hope is to be able to answer at least one of these thoughts by the completion of the course. Not just to know the flow of philosophical identification, but also to know which self we are even talking about?
