The Journey Back to Our Self

Sunday 09 August 2020

Are Ego and the Separate Self Different?

A woman from Oregon asks about the different uses of the word ego, which seems like a natural occurrence in early childhood development, but then later becomes identification with thoughts and feelings. Is the latter the separate self? Rupert explains this in terms of the infinite as 'I am' that seems to limit itself to whatever appears to come after the 'I am.'
