Heidegger’s conscience-call commands waking to one’s Being and deciding, not just being oneself.

Evidence

For Heidegger, the call is more fundamental than that. It is a call to take up a self that you didn’t know you had: to wake up to your Being. Moreover, it is a call to action. It requires you to do something: to take a decision of some sort. — Sarah Bakewell, At the Existentialist Café, 265
