KNOW THYSELF … p. 67
The premise is not a new one; quite the opposite in fact,for it has been known from earliest recorded history. Much more recently, about 450 years before the birth of Christ, the Stoic philosopher Zeno summed it up in two words: “… Know Thyself …” this divine insight — for such it is — need be our sole guideline throughout life.
Knowing ourself means disencumbering the crass materialism that burdens the soul. All too often this only manifests itself when we are at our lowest, in a state of utter hopelessness and despair. It is, nonetheless, a time when our cries are heard; when, by the grace of God, we find the Way. — Garry D. Kilbourn
