The Duality Within: A Battle for the True Self
The speaker delves into the concept of the duality within individuals, stating that the good and the evil within a person are equally them. It is highlighted that the struggle to find one's true self is hopeless as both aspects hold a claim to being the real self. The innate sense of morality and virtue is acknowledged, as well as the desire to be autonomous. These conflicting aspects are deemed fundamental to human nature. Despite the battle between good and evil, the speaker suggests that as a Christian, one side becomes the true self. The ongoing conflict between the sinful nature and the spirit is emphasized, leading to a state where individuals may not always act in alignment with their desires.
