Sometimes, it’s obvious when someone isn’t being their true self; other times, it can seem impossible to tell. What makes this distinction especially difficult is that a false self lies within each of us, according to theologian and author Father Richard Rohr. He describes this as the persona you have created for yourself. The true self, however, is what religion often calls the soul. It’s your eternal essence.
But how can we access (and manifest) that true self? Fr. Rohr believes that this pursuit should be everyone’s ultimate goal in life, and he explains in the above video from “Super Soul Sunday” how you can be absolutely sure you live within that space.
