The Courage to Face Our True Self

The essence of true growth is found in confronting the depths of who we are. We are called to be honest with ourselves, to face our inner struggles, and to embrace every part of our being. Christianity’s often poor psychology and anthropology, lead to a disconnect between God and the soul. The journey toward wholeness is not about perfection but about integration—bringing together all aspects of our lives, both light and shadow, into a unified self.

The face we turn toward our own unconscious is the face we turn toward the world. This path demands that we look within, beyond external practices and superficial beliefs, to uncover the deeper truths that shape our existence. God is the inner energy within the soul of all things, saying, "Become who you are. Become all that you are." It requires us to move beyond mere acceptance and to engage in the active work of understanding, forgiving, and loving ourselves completely. Only through this process can we extend genuine compassion and understanding to others.

This pursuit of inner transformation is essential for authentic spiritual growth. The God archetype is quite simply love at work, calling us toward ever deeper union with our own True Self, with others, and with God. This journey calls us to recognize the divine spark within us that continually urges us to become more—to evolve into the fullness of who we are meant to be. This is not about achieving an idealized version of ourselves but about embracing our true selves, flaws and all, and integrating them into a whole that is in harmony with the divine.

The journey to wholeness is about deep inner work, self-acceptance, and the courage to face our true selves. It is through this process that we find true unity with ourselves, with others, and with the divine.
