Our True Self
The True Self is often described as the unchanging essence of who we are beyond our thoughts, emotions, roles, and identities. It is the core of our being that exists before conditioning, beyond the ego, and outside of the stories we tell ourselves about our lives.
In spiritual traditions, the True Self is seen as pure awareness or consciousness, free from the illusions of separation or limitation. It is the silent witness to our experiences, the stillness beneath the chaos, and the spaciousness in which life unfolds.
Discovering the True Self involves peeling away layers of false identities—our attachments to roles, possessions, and societal expectations—and reconnecting with the deeper, infinite nature of our being. This connection brings a sense of peace, authenticity, and freedom, as we no longer seek validation outside of ourselves. Instead, we align with the wisdom and wholeness that has always been within.
The True Self is not something to achieve or create; it is what we already are when we let go of what we are not.
