Description: Is the ego the same as the separate self? And what is the difference between the ego, separate self and finite mind? The finite mind is the character or clothing that infinite consciousness assumes in order to have objective experience. It can not have objective experience without doing so, without the agency of the finite mind. However, identification with that finite mind is not necessary. That identification is the activity referred to as ego or separate self. It is not an entity, it is the activity of thinking and feeling that I am separate, temporary and finite. The ego is a belief, not simply the functioning of the finite mind. We can have finite experience, as we all do every day, without the belief that I am a finite or separate being. Without the belief in the ego we see and feel that we share the same being. So it is not finite experience that is problematic. It is beliefs that are problematic. –– ACCESS FULL VIDEO ARCHIVE You can watch or listen to 1000s of hours of teachings, guided meditations and answers in Rupert's full video archive here: ▸ rupertspira.com/subscriptions –– ONLINE RETREAT SCHEDULE ▸ rupertspira.com/events/retreat-at-home IN-PERSON RETREATS SCHEDULE ▸ UK rupertspira.com/event/location/united-kingdom ▸ US rupertspira.com/event/location/united-states ▸ ITALY rupertspira.com/event/location/italy –– WEEKLY WEBINAR SCHEDULE ▸ rupertspira.com/events/webinar –– FREE CONTENT, EVENTS & NEW RELEASES To be notified of free content, events (online and in-person), books and other new releases, please sign up to Rupert's free newsletter: rupertspira.com/free-newsletter –– BROWSE RUPERT’S BOOKS ▸ rupertspira.com/store –– LISTEN TO RUPERT’S PODCAST ▸ iTunes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rupert-spira-podcast ▸ Libsyn: rupertspira.libsyn.com ▸ Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/6z1GNgC1js30g9RLSfBB4M –– JOIN RUPERT’S FACEBOOK GROUP ▸ facebook.com/groups/rupertspiracommunity SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS ▸ Website: rupertspira.com ▸ Instagram: instagram.com/rupertspira_ ▸ Facebook: facebook.com/rupertspira ▸ Twitter: twitter.com/rupertspira –– SUBSCRIBE TO RUPERT’S YOUTUBE ▸ youtube.com/user/rupertspira –– #theego #rupertspira #nonduality #thenatureofreality #advaita #advaitavedanta RS21002g
