Summary

In Falling Upward (and in many of his other teachings),  Richard Rohr talked at length about ego (or the False Self) and how  it gets in the way of spiritual maturity, especially if its  preoccupations continue into the second half of life. 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? In this new book, he 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. 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.
