In a broader sense, I think it's worth exploring the notion that there is such a thing as a true self that you're normally not able to access, that may be revealed through some process of therapy, insight, meditation ritual or drugs.
I'm not sure where it comes from, and there are some pretty concerning inconsistencies with the notion if you scrutinize it.
- brazzy 4y agoI think it makes more sense to think about "different selves", and that it can be an enriching experience to let the non-default ones out more often.
