What is true self?
Don't quote this in therapy you filthy shinnie.
you know how Shinji Ikari once said: "Everything is simply a shape, a form, an identifier to let others recognize me as me! But then, what am I? Is this me? My true self? My fake self? What is it that I am? Nobody understands me!" yeah, I relate to that.

True self - what is it?
We are living our lives
Abound with so much information
Come on, let go of the remote
Don't you know you're letting all the junk flood in
I try to stop the flow, double-clicking on the go
But it's no use, hey I'm being consumed
Loading... Loading... Loading...
Quickly reaching maximum capacity
Warning... Warning... Warning...
Gonna short-circuit my identity (ahh)
Get up on your feet, tear down the walls
Catch a glimpse of the hollow world
Snooping 'round town will get you nowhere
You're locked up in your mind
We're all trapped in a maze of relationships
Life goes on with or without you
I swim in the sea of the unconscious
I search for your heart, pursuing my true self
What does "true self" mean?
The true self is the epicenter of a person's entire being, it is the total sum of everything that we are. It typically includes the conscious and unconscious minds as well as the psyche and the soul.
The realization of ones true self can only happen when one becomes aware of the false ego and overcomes the vanity of this great illusion. Without the temptation of the materialism of the false ego we are essentially pure awareness, experiencing itself.
He was unable to realize his true self because his false ego cant let him acknowledge his self deception, the lie hes convinced himself.
