Love and Awareness Are Identical

Natural Selection and the Separate Self

A man asks about whether evolution’s natural selection favours the separate self. Rupert suggests that natural selection only refers to the preservation of the ‘part’, not the one. There is a difference between the finite mind and the separate self. The separate self is the belief that all we are is the finite mind. Natural selection favours the perpetuation of the finite mind and the body. However, underneath that there is a deeper impulse.
