The concept of self is an illusion. There is no self.
There is a self in that a collective understanding of sensory input at a minimum exists
The thing that is most interesting is the question of, what is it that’s being illusioned?
If I understand your question correctly, it is the brain which gets the illusion that it is something more than what it is.
