THOUGHTS - FROM OUR MASTER. WISDOM. If you dont know yourself well, if you have no clear perception of your own virtues and vices, your own strengths and weaknesses, you will never succeed in life and you will never be able to live in harmony with others and, consequently, your life will be full of complications, quarrels and misunderstandings. In fact it would be no exaggeration to say that every anomaly, every disaster or negative event in the world is due to peoples lack of self-knowledge. To oneself and all that one represents... this is where people fail so miserably and make so many grave and dangerous mistakes. All your undertakings and all your contracts or associations with others will be in danger if they are not based on a clear understanding of your own character. This is the beginning of wisdom : to know oneself ! Man, know thyself . Very few men have ever understood the true meaning of this formula that was once inscribed over the entrance to the temple of Delphi. Who or what is this self that we must know ? Why thats easy, you will say, We have to know our own character, our own strengths and weaknesses. But that is not what this maxim is about. True, a knowledge of our own strengths and weaknesses is necessary but it is not enough... To know oneself, is to know the different bodies of which one is constituted (physical, etheric, astral, mental, causal, buddhic and atmic) and the needs of each of these bodies. Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov.
