The Separate Self and Evolution

A man asks about the evolution of the separate self. Rupert suggests that the ego or separate self is a belief and a feeling that what we essentially are, pure awareness, is limited by the activities of thinking and perceiving. Using the metaphor of John Smith and King Lear Rupert further expounds. There can be the recognition 'I am awareness' with the continued patterns of thinking and feeling.
