Is the self a spook?

"What is most uncanny about the self is that no one has yet been able to present the least evidence of it. Like the soul, that figure of speech which has long since been snickered out of existence, the self may be felt but never be found. It is a spectral tapeworm that takes its reality from a host organism and grows along with the physical matter in which it is encased."

That to me sounds like the exact opposite of a fixed idea

It's the brain and all that goes on in it.
If it is a "spook" than shouldn't you be able to mold it anyway you like like the other spooks?

that's Noam Trotsky. Generally referred to as just Trotsky. He believed only in ghosts which he called "spooks."
