What is the Self?

What is self?
How can there be a self or "I am" when everything in the world is impermanence?
Can you point at what is called self?
we all have a concious mind and a subconcious mind, our concious mind is just the recycling of things witnessed with the 5 senses, thats the self.

The higher conscious mind that can be accessed throughed meditation and practice is a shared conciousness.

The concious self is a drop of water that can think dropped into a swimming pool of other selfs becaming one with each others unconcious higher mind.
