Also, [Return without delay to become him (who) you truly are.] should 
be [Return without delay to become he who you truly are.]

The fact that this sounds bizarre is again due to language change. 
English is moving towards a system similar to French, which uses 
objective pronouns in subject positions: C'est moi! = It's me! My very 
first linguistics paper was on this topic.

But to me the version with 'whom' sounds just as bad as the one with 
'who'. This just seems like an extremely unlikely construction.
