Soul as the True Self
Definition of Dahn Hak
We refer to the pure state of our original soul as the True Self, and the field planted with trees of prejudice and preconception can be called the False Self. Most people in this world, having rarely had the chance to consciously experience their True Self, live out their whole lives believing that they are their False Self.
This is akin to a piece of land thinking it is merely the trees and bushes that are planted on it, when it is so much more than that. Because they live in a world of misconception about their own reality, most people hold misconceptions about others. This leads to a world filled with conflict based on mutual misconception about one another. Who are we? We forget that we are the masters of who we are becoming. In a word, we can choose to become whoever we desire to be. Telic information is not us hit ours.
