It may help you to get the proper idea, if you will apply the Law of Correspondence to yourself and your own mind. You know that the part of You which you call "I," in a sense, stands apart and witnesses the creation of mental Images in your own mind. The part of your mind in which the mental generation is accomplished may be called the "Me" in distinction from the "I" which stands apart and witnesses and examines the thoughts, ideas and images of the "Me."

It is the MOTHER MIND that you are pressing close up to, like a babe to the breast.
