Is it like the conceit we have without thinking that our "self" somehow exists from the perspective of our eyes, so that we say "my foot" or "my hand" like it's a thing we own when it's in fact us, just a little further from where we currently see?
That's what I've come up with initially, anyway. What do you think?
Your bit about matter and energy reminds me of how C.S. Lewis explained spiritual forces (eldila) in his Space Trilogy. He had this fascinating bit about how they were "bodies of a different movement" (matter vibrating at a different frequency, I think) that rendered them as little more than light to us, when to them, they were solid and we were vapor.
