The duality of the 'Me' and 'I' helps us understand how many of our feelings of self may be misrepresented by contaminating our present self with our historical self. When being 'Me', my view of self is based entirely on my experiential history. We assess ourselves on what we have done and what has happened to us. Conversely, according to James, the 'I' self-view is thought to incorporate our self-awareness of the here-and-now. We are no longer in a past reality but have transitioned to the present.
