Yes, by "inner self", I was talking about Mikhail's latter "me".

So, I do not intend "inner" to mean "inside a container". I mean
"inner" in the sense of the mental constructs we build when thinking
about our selves. A model of our selves as viewed from within.
Both "me"s are part of the self, which is exactly the point I was trying
to argue with Mikhail, neither the physical self nor this endo-self are
less real than the other.
