Quick answer to the question at 50:50: It's whatever self you happen to be attached to at the moment. See Buddhadasa Bikkhu's commentary on this in his book "The Buddha's Doctrine of Anatta"

I was excited to find this video, but disappointed to find him putting forth weakest argument first, at about 3 minutes, when he uses a speculative belief in literal rebirth as a counter to Jung's warning about incompatibilities.

The psyche of people in the east is very much connected to the natural world, elements and all beings. It is fluid stream of consciousness, than bounded by structure. There is less self-other dichotomy, subject-object duality in language structures - sometimes no he/she. 'Tibetan tradition is highly patriarcha, traditional and authoritarian and that sometimes prevents ones own intuitive access to psyche. CTR mentioned at 48 min
