Descartes had some really interesting ideas, but a lot of not so good ones either.
I'm not sure I understand your point OP, that we create our own world via our mind? That's easy enough to see. That the person you envision yourself to be is not necessarily the person you are? Certainly true.
I think you need to define "conceptual" better in order to be able to work the argument better, unless I missed it.
You also need to read this:

although it's tangential to what you are trying to say I think.
