I have to disagree with your last statement. There are a few, a very few, people who I believe have reached their true self and still occupy this particular reality. It is rare, but it does happen.

It is hard to become purely your true self. It's a good goal

Religion muddies the water; individual choice either blesses it or pees in it. And that choice is made based on who is in control - Ego or the true self.
