Mental Illness and Separation

A woman asks about mental illness and its relationship to separation, drawing from personal family experience. Rupert clarifies that all finite minds experience apparent separation, but mental illness and sense of separation aren’t directly correlated. He notes some conditions, like autism, may involve less filtering and thus less sense of separation, while some ‘normal’ minds have deeper separation. He adds that this understanding requires strength to integrate and isn’t appropriate for everyone.
