In life, this above all else is a certainty: We are to live by the tenets of our God-given soul. The tools to do so are an imbued birthright, forever lying within our grasp. The tenets, instinctively known to all, are those of truth, goodness and love. We honour these inborn human traits by first paying homage to that age-old aphorism: “Know thyself.”
The business of coming to know oneself, as all who venture down this path well know, is a time of ongoing self-absorption and personal honesty. Bit by bit we rid ourself of worldly demons, real and imagined, to reveal the purity of the life-giving soul. Here there is no hiding from the truth of our Being; neither is there any turning back from this blissful state of inner harmony.

“Know thyself...”
Today we are attending a Celebration of Life of a very dear friend. Know thyself is her gift to me. We enjoyed lots of sharing over six years. During these hours her past came alive … questioning herself with personal honesty, answers were revealed. Her son shared… she passed peacefully as if she was falling asleep. blw
