Much has been said in our day about being yourself. Seeded in the anti-establishment impulses of the middle 20th century and carrying through the greatest parenting experiment in human history, being yourself is now considered the highest human achievement. Parents have decided that self-regard is more valuable than character. (Thank you, Dr. Spock.) Life coaches from one end of the country to the other are encouraging folks to "just follow their heart." (As if the heart came with GPS.) The irony here is this age of self-realization is completely un-moored from any philosophic underpinning, having abandoned its religions, imploded its institutions, made idols of its most inane and skill-less celebrities. We are in a time with so much talk of being yourself and so little of value to say about what makes a person. But it need not be this week. This week's WordCAST jumps headlong into a discussion about what it means to have personhood, personality and in our parlance: to be a SOUL.
