I can't answer that directly, because I think you nailed it already. I believe that the sense of self is a delusion, hence it is brought on by ignorance of the truth. I have to fall back on the old film metaphor, i.e. the picture appears fluid although in reality it is merely a series of still pictures. It's an illusion produced by perception. I've never heard a full explanation, other than to say it's a product of our neurological hardware. I think you are stating the truth, I guess.
