Summary of Richard Rohr's Immortal Diamond

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 We are all looking for an immortal diamond: something utterly reliable, something loyal and true, something we can always depend on. But we give up eventually to seek this truth and instead retreat into ourselves.

#2 The two selves are the small self and the soul. The small self is the ego, and the soul is the True Self. The True Self is always in flux, but it is your absolute reference point that is both utterly within you and utterly beyond you at the same time.

#3 When you find your True Self, you will no longer have to build, protect, or promote any idealized self image. Living in the True Self is a much happier existence, even though you never live there a full 24 hours a day.

#4 The search for your True Self is never-ending, as you grow older. It is as if you are a big secret to yourself, and you must search for clues to figure out who you are. However, the search never stops fascinating you, even as you grow older.
