To be onerself

1309

Abstract

"To be oneself"- is a story about fear and ways to overcome it. Path to yourself and the path to God is the way to freedom. This was stated by Metropolitan Anthony Sourozh, and the author develops this idea: how to avoid role-playing systems, how to find oneself and one's life mission, how to find the unity of soul and mind, heart and mind. The path of christian soul should lead to joy and not to fear – argues author.
