The Realm of the True Self and theological Concept ?
There is a realm without name, form, or sound – where I am no longer the me that everyone sees. There is no more name, no more profit, no more restless sadness or arrogant laughter. Just me, as pristine as before I was born… That realm, people call it “the true self”.

Do you want me to continue writing a poem, essay or short story on the theme of “the real self”? If so, do you prefer modern style, Zen, or psychology? “The real self” is a profound concept, suggesting the journey to find the true self of a person – the original self, beyond all the layers of the temporary self, society and desire. This is a philosophical topic, with the colors of Zen, Buddhism, spirituality and modern psychology.
What is “the true self”?
In many philosophical and spiritual traditions:
True Self: Is the real, pure nature, not influenced by the external world, desires or ego (ego).
Opposite to False Self - the ego formed by society, fame, expectations and instincts.
True Self is not something to be created, but something to be found.
The realm of true self - An inner space
The "realm" here is not a physical place, but a state of consciousness, a spiritual land where people can be themselves, without attachment, without fear, without falsehood.
Symbolic images:
A quiet area after a storm of thoughts.
Light in the dark cave of the inner self.
The calm surface of a lake after letting go of all desires.
How to enter the "realm of true self"?
This is not an easy path, but it is a journey that everyone should try:
Self-reflection – Identify what is real in you, what is imposed by society.
Let go of attachment – Do not identify yourself with material things, fame, temporary emotions.
Live mindfully – Be present in every moment, do not get caught up in the past or the future.
Meditation / calmness – To hear the inner voice instead of the noise outside.
If you want to write about the “realm of the true self”…
You can choose genres such as:
Poetry – with metaphorical images: inner moonlight, the path of meditation, the falling leaf as an awakening.
Philosophical essay – tells about the journey to find yourself in the hustle and bustle of life.
Short story – a character leaves everything behind to find a quiet place and discovers the simplest thing: themselves.
