If so, tell me which one of our five sense detects that "self"? Is it the eyes that see who you are. Is it the ears?

How do you detect love? What does it mean to you?

Justice, goodness, beauty is a detectable as perceiving myself exists. I see no reason to make an exception to them, the perception of myself actually depends on them existing.

Those things are all abstract ideas. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is not measurable and opinions about it differ widely. The same is true of goodness, and justice. The are human judgments no more. A rock has the same mass regardless of who or what perceives it. Not so beauty. Beauty is in your mind, not in reality.

Self is rather complicated as it appears to be a function of the brain. Without the brain, the function ceases.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
