’Twoud be few not familiar
with that age old aphorism,
“Know Thyself” and as well,
understand that this is not something to be dismissed out of hand. By the same
token, it is a somewhat vague expression; one requiring time and effort were we
to delve into the deep recesses of our consciousness to reveal our true childlike self. Even worse,
should such a thought perchance occur to us, we more than likely put it aside,
in the mistaken belief that there are other, more important things that need
doing. Nothing could be further from the truth.
From a time predating that
of Jesus of
Nazareth and up
to today,
mankind has striven to transcend ordinary human knowledge, spiritually compelled to know its higher,
or true, self.
That which has ever been
taught to enable such Elysium is that which obtains to this day, namely, deep and
purposeful meditation/reflection. Only this, practiced regularly in absolute
repose with thoughts of love for our self and others, will free us from worldly
thoughts and take us to a higher plane of spiritual intuition and insight; one
that allows us to know that God lives in us and we live in Him. Thus do we know ourselves.
