18. Self Concept and the Personal Dimension of Truth

Reflections of the Way of the Outsider

by Deon-Simphiwe Skade

In studies concerned with human behaviour, there is a phenomenon simply known as the 'self-concept'.

One considers this to be among the most complex of human quests for knowledge due to its inherently far-reaching scope, despite what others may be inclined to accept of the concept of the self.

Some people tend to think the knowledge of the self is one dimensional. While others believe it is a fixed state of being.

Interestingly, the opposite is true. And it is particularly through this constant state of movement in being human, psychologically, spiritually or otherwise, that we are in fact propelled to seek enhanced personal and universal truths – at least those restless enough to pursue such matters.

Truth has a deeply personal dimension.
