Immortal Diamond
ByPublisher Description
Dissolve the distractions of ego to find our authentic selves in God In his bestselling book Falling Upward, Richard Rohr talked about ego (or the False Self) and how it gets in the way of spiritual maturity. But if there's a False Self, is there also a True Self? What is it? How is it found? Why does it matter? And what does it have to do with the spiritual journey? This book likens True Self to a diamond, buried deep within us, formed under the intense pressure of our lives, that must be searched for, uncovered, separated from all the debris of ego that surrounds it. In a sense True Self must, like Jesus, be resurrected, and that process is not resuscitation but transformation. Shows how to navigate spiritually difficult terrain with clear vision and tools to uncover our True Selves Written by Father Richard Rohr, the bestselling author of Falling Upward Examines the fundamental issues of who we are and helps us on our path of spiritual maturity Immortal Diamond (whose title is taken from a line in a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem) explores the deepest questions of identity, spirituality, and meaning in Richard Rohr's inimitable style.

“As someone who has always been drawn to resurrection in its many forms, this was a beautiful read. Rohr holds an expansive theological view informed by his knowledge of scripture that sees everyone, individually and collectively, on a journey with Love”

“I really like Richard Rohr but found this disappointing. Occasionally he comes across to me like an incredible mystic trapped inside catholic theology. So much of this book feels like a tortured and dubious attempt to massage Christian scripture into basic eastern non-dualism. In other words, it feels like he is running circles around himself basically making a case for Buddhism when it would be so much more straightforward to just be a Buddhist.”
