The Sound of the Genuine (Baccalaureate ceremony) (Spelman College), 1980 May 4
Thurman delves into the profound understanding of the human soul’s intrinsic value. Drawing on biblical passages, Thurman emphasizes the omnipresence of God and the importance of recognizing the "sound of the genuine" within oneself. He recounts the story of a man possessed by demons, highlighting the man's inability to identify his true self. Thurman urges us to find our unique identity and the genuine sound within, warning that without this self-awareness, one may live life as if controlled by external forces. This internal discovery, he asserts, is vital for personal fulfillment and authentic living.
