an exploration of ideas concerning inner Being and higher consciousness
"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."

"If you could really hear yourself and knew what you were saying you would be very surprised at how the truth comes out despite yourself. You must wake up and learn how to listen - to yourself as well as to others."

ReplyDeleteQuite simply you are asleep and are not what you imagine yourself to be and do not know, in reality, how you appear to others. Wake up!
