I believe that they mean there is an essence beyond our present ego, much like what the Egram says. So through rituals like Yoga and meditation we can reach our spiritual/psychological essence; we can at the same time shape our bodies and be in charge of our physical being.

For me, I am at the moment what my mind and body constitute as a whole. That whole might change through time, then I change too.

The "I" you are talking about might emerge from the interactions in the brain, probably quantum interactions as some scientists proclaim. So according to them the "I" will die when brain dies.
