The Ego Is One Small Aspect of the Mind

A woman asks about what mind is. Rupert says that the finite mind by itself is not the separate self or ego, which is the belief that what I am is limited to the finite mind. It is possible to have a finite mind without having a sense of separation, but such a mind still thinks, feels, perceives, etc. The ego is one small aspect of the mind. Thinking is fine; what is important is on whose behalf do thoughts arise.
