The false self is fragile, and inherently insecure because it is completely a creation of the mind. It exists only in the world of perception, which is where we live most of our lives, instead of in God’s Eternal Now.
When we die, it is only the false self that dies because it never really existed, to begin with.
Whenever we are offended, it is always because our self-image has been dishonored. In fact, narcissists have a lot of asserting and defending to do.
The True Self is untouchable, or as Paul puts it “takes no offense” (1 Corinthians 13:5). People who can live from their True Selves are genuinely happy; they have found immortality.
1 Corinthians 13:8 “Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!”
