Self-leader

I still have some difficulty conceptualizing the Self - parts dichotomy in IFS. I know that Self is supposed to be the seat of consciousness or mindfulness and thus represent a state of transcendence, expansiveness and oneness with the universe. It can also operate as an "I" and be a compassionate leader interacting with parts. This is implied by the dual nature of the Self. Furthermore it is characterized by the C (Courage, Compassion, Clarity, Connection, Calm, Creativity, Confidence, Curiosity) and P (Patience, Playfulness, Persistence, Perspective, Perseverance) qualities.
