 'true to yourself' is simply meant to become who you were created to be, to serve Gods pupose in this world,... To wrestle, struggle with God to discern what you were created to do in this world-and that is being true to yourself and true to God.

So, if I have her view right:

we all - every human being - were created for God's purpose and has God within themselves in the form of the Holy Spirit - Wisdom in the Gnostic view. They should be true to that god that they are (at least in potential), and evolve to higher spiritual levels, based on listening to that voice within them (properly discerned) - and be true to themselves to the extent that their self aligns to who God made them to be:

Discernment leads one to discover if one's desires are to help another or just to serve oneself. The Spirit speaks for others; the ego for itself.

That voice, that spirit, is the one called Wisdom in much of Solomon's writing - and talked about by the Gnostics by the name Sophia: Wisdom/Sophia or Christ to some resides in all of us as the Divine Spark.

She and I are actually pretty close together - and, I think, oh so far apart as well. I agree:

that every human being is created by God imago dei (in the image of God);

that we are all eternal spiritual beings in a temporary physical body destined to live on for eternity (we will worry about eventual bodily resurrection later on);

that we all were created for a purpose by God, and for God's purposes;

According to theologians of the Middle Ages (5th century to 15th century), the conscience is divided into two parts. Synderesis (probably a misreading of suneidesis) is the faculty in human beings that knows God's moral law; this faculty remained unaffected by the Fall and the expulsion from the Garden of Eden.

I think this is a direct connection to God's character and not routed through a secondary created spiritual source - like Sophia.

That is a pretty serious set of agreements. Why do I think we are "so far apart"? I do not think that our deep conscience is the Spirit of God; or at least not in the sense mentioned by Christ above in the Matthew passage; Jesus elsewhere in scripture [see "How to be F

 So, if I suffer her view right: 

 we all - every human organism - were created for God's purpose and has God within themselves in the form of the Holy Spirit - Wisdom in the Gnostic scene. They should be true to that god that they are (at least in electric potential), and evolve to high religious levels, based on listening to that part within them (properly discerned) - and be true to themselves to the extent that their self aligns to who God construct them to be:

 She and I are actually pretty close together - and, I think, oh so far apart as well. I agree: 

 that every human being is created by God imago dei (in the persona of God); 

 that we are all eternal spiritual organism in a impermanent physical body destined to survive on for eternity (we will concern about eventual bodily resurrection later on); 

 that we all were created for a function by God, and for God's purposes; 

 According to theologians of the Middle Ages (5th century to 15th century), the conscience is divided into two parts. Synderesis (probably a misreading of suneidesis) is the faculty in human being that knows God's moral jurisprudence; this faculty remained unaffected by the Fall and the expulsion from the Garden of Eden. 

 I think this is a lineal connection to God's character and not routed through a secondary created spiritual source - like Sophia. 

 That is a pretty serious bent of agreements. Why do I think we are " thus far apart "? I do not remember that our deep conscience is the Spirit of God; or at least not in the common sense mentioned by Christ above in the Matthew passage; Jesus elsewhere in bible [ see " How to be F
