It calls us to journey inward, to reconnect with our unchanging essence, untarnished by the temporal world.
Eternal Self: The Immortal Essence and Ultimate Reality
In A Course in Miracles, the "Eternal Self" is depicted as our immortal essence, the very core of our being that remains untouched by the ebb and flow of life's experiences.
