I've never heard the term "meta-self". Meta-x usually means "x applied to x". Self-awareness means the self is aware of the self, so that's similar. Transparency often implies that someone other than the self is aware of the internals of that self, so nearly the reverse of self-awareness. A person could easily be transparent to everyone BUT themself.
