This is our journey: to integrate our relational self with our inner self—a journey we can choose to embark upon to escape the prison of modern culture’s message of separation. This message is revealed in the sense of disconnection we too often feel, which imprisons us in the experience of a shrunken version of belonging as a solo-self. The great, empowering, hopeful, good news is that self-construal is an active, lifelong process, however we might measure and name it, shaped by messages we receive and concepts we believe.
