Does anyone really have a true self or is that just another name for a well adjusted ego state?
It’s just another name for a well adjusted ego state. And it’s actually not at all that well-adjusted. People who speak about their “true selves” aren’t really any more well-adjusted than people who don’t. Often times much less.
Think about it this way. If you have a true self, then you’re certainly aren’t your true self. What has it? The fake self? Heheheh. So anyone who speaks about “having” a true self necessarily speaks from the false self, they speak from confusion.
When you are your true self, you can’t say that you “have” it. In fact, you can’t say anything about it at all. You just live as your true self.
