Immortal Diamond
by Richard Rohr
Rohr on the True Self and False Self: the ego we construct versus the eternal identity we discover, framed through resurrection. Contemplative, Catholic, and influenced by Merton and Jung; a sequel of sorts to Falling Upward.

Three things you will actually use

- The False Self must die to find it.
- Resurrection is a pattern, not just an event.
