The Eternal Self


The Eternal Self

N. Gordon Cosby


Is there a real eternal self that we can claim now and begin to deepen and expand into forever? The determining question is whether or not this unique, deeper person exists. Is it real, although unawakened? Is there another culture that is uniquely suited for each of us and that calls forth our inner truth, who we really are?

We can keep living from the shallow, surface self or we can claim the real, the deep, the inner self where the Spirit of God already dwells. Only then do we become free. Only then will we experience the freedom that Meister Eckhart says comes from "needing to know nothing, will nothing and have nothing." This inner place of freedom is the culture that is our true home.
