How can one learn about oneself?
Everyone says knowing yourself will set you free...but what does it mean to know oneself? These are some of the thoughts I had the last few days... Being in solitude without any distraction and looking back in thoughts is one way of creating order in the mind and connecting with the inner self. It creates a distance to the previous events wich makes it easier to see clearly. However reflecting is the lowest form of self knowledge, because reflection means that there is a mirror (thought) between what is and you. Past<----Thought-----Now----Thought---->Future Thought is the mirror through wich we see what happend, but it can never recreate the actual happening because the actual happening incloudes way more than thought can grasp. So what does it mean to learn about oneself? To truly enter deep self knowledge we must be attentive in the now, wherever, whenever, with whoever as in all of these life situations the self is involved. Only then there is no distortion of the actuality but a clear and direct perception of what is. Share what you think about this Topic im very interested!:)
