I think the same. "Self" means experience. 

Dude, the 'Self' in nondual perspective means Awareness. The higher Self is often contrasted with the lower self.

The Self here is  in upper case capital letters, so as to make it distinct from the lower case  self which is associated with the ego or untrained, chaotic mind.

Self is distinct from experience, as the perception of experience differs from the vantage point of the uncontaminated Self in contrast to the distorted perception of the conditioned mind. 

[Joseph Maynor]

This is an interesting quote:

"Understanding of the self only arises in relationship, in watching yourself in relationship to people, ideas, and things; to trees, the earth, and the world around you and within you. Relationship is the mirror in which the self is revealed. Without self-knowledge there is no basis for right thought and action."

How do you feel about Jiddu Krishnamurti?

Jiddu Krishnamurti often noted that naming an experience—like teaching a child the name of a bird—replaces the pure, immediate sensation with a mental concept. 
 

I agree with him.
