The True and Only Self We Have

A man talks about thoughts that come with a presumption of a separate self and wonders if there is a chain of causation. Rupert affirms that many thoughts arise on behalf of the separate self. The important thing is not to try to crush the thoughts, but to investigate the ‘I’ on whose behalf they arise. If that one was found to be illusory, in time thoughts associated with that begin to die down. We never find the hurt self; we find the true and only self.
