And rightfully so. What is it? Where is it? How do I discover my true self? All questions we've asked ourselves along the journey of life.Collectively we've drifted away from our fundamental knowing of our truths as a species. Our cultures and constructs have created false versions of self that entangle us in stories and identities. Images of self formed for us by our families, friends, and culture.
