Evan, I think that self/other is an accurate description because it's no more than perception. We're talking about how one perceives the universe, and it's undeniable that we have experiences that don't include others' experiences; that we experience them as ourselves.
Whether or not that's an accurate description of the Universe, I dunno. I find the description of mind as a mirror very valuable; that you can draw on a mirror all you want, but you're drawing illusions onto the universe. At its calmest, the mind is a mirror, reflecting the world without judgement, without ego, and acting as part of the universe, not outside it.
