In this video Rupert clarifies the differences between “ego, or separate self” and “finite mind”:
“It is true that in order to have objective experience, it is necessary for infinite awareness to know experience through the agency of a finite mind; (but) it is not necessary to believe that I am that finite mind.
So the ego, or the apparently separate self, is a belief, it is not simply the functioning of the finite mind.
The finite mind is the character, the clothing that infinite consciousness assumes in order to have objective experience; identification with that finite mind is not necessary, that identification is the activity that I refer to as ego or separate self .
In other words the ego or separate self is not itself an entity, it is the (illusory) activity of believing and feeling I am temporary and finite”.
