This was published in the peer reviewed Thlise Journal of Mind and Behavior, in which 2of the 12 ME "studies" were published. So according to the standards attributed to peer reviewed journals by some, I guess this is gospel. Do you agree Dr. Pete? Others?
------ The Experience of a Conscious Self Thomas Natsoulas, University of California, Davis The Journal of Mind and Behavior, Autumn 1983, Volume 4, Number 4, Pages 451478, ISSN 02710137 Contrary to what a number of prominent psychologists have lately proposed, the present article argues that there is no inner conscious subject. Insofar as a mental episode may be said to have a subject, or to be had by a conscious self, it is always the self-aware human being who is its subject. The human being's experience of a conscious self, as being distinct from himself or herself, amounts to a natural dissociation produced by the human being's self-awarenesses. There is a strong tendency to distinguish anything of which one is aware from that which is aware of it. This leaves, finally, and inner subject of which one cannot be aware, but to which one has learned to make a purported reference each time one is directly aware of mental episode.
