So sensory experiences determine the content of your mind, and you are the viewer of that content. It's just like going to a movie. You are the viewer of the content of the movie. You, the self, are in the "theater" of the body, watching the movie that is appearing on your mind. You're like a person in a theater viewing a film that is appearing on the screen. Your eyes, ears, and other organs of perception are like cameras, recorders, and so on. Your mind is like the film or tape that the information is recorded on. You, the self, are like the moviegoer who perceives all the information (forms, colors, sounds, feelings, and so on).
