"THERE DO EXIST ENQUIRING MINDS, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him. For without this knowledge, he will have no focal point in his search. Socrates’ words, “Know thyself” remain for all those who seek true knowledge and being."

Watching In Silence

From this different perspective, the echo of my own voice, my own words, my own thoughts and impulses are loud and clear. Something in me watches, listens, records - a silent clinician making note of  what is seen from this perspective. Too much talking about what I see, even to myself, ends the experience. In silence, I gather new information about this me that I have become as my life has progressed without benefit of consciousness and begin to know what I truly am - without the stories.
