The Self exists just the way you are now.

What appears to be real does not really exist.
Only I-am exists. Self exists that's it.
The Self exists just the way you are now.
You are that. 

What I'm trying to say is,
do not separate yourself from yourself.
It's really a mistake to say,
"Well I am not the Self because the Self is in me." 

The Self is not in you, the Self is you!
You are that Self. 

But for the sake of talking,
you want to place the Self some place so you say,
"It's in my heart." 

When you look for it, it's in your heart.
In reality there's only the Self and you don't exist at all.
But when you talk about it, you place it some place.
