Knowing Oneself

How much do each of us really know ourselves? Some of us may think we know ourselves pretty well. Others may think they know themselves very little. What does it really mean to "Know Thyself?" Well, lets shortly begin with the fact that we as a species have only uncovered bits and pieces to our existence and WHERE, WHAT, and WHOM we come from. Scientific study and research has uncovered only a fraction of the POWER and CAPABILITY of the brain. Though, the discoveries of the brain are astounding, our understanding of it is still very limited. So, who can really say or prove that we do not carry with us a piece of "GOD". NO ONE. No one but ourselves (beliefs, thoughts, perception, experience). WE CAN tap into something beyond us. WE CAN overcome our perceived limitations and perceptions.

This writing is being used to encourage that WE as individuals and WE collectively have the CAPABILITY to go beyond the EGO, and this world, to LIVE and BE our dreams. It is believed that each of us contain WITHIN us, something MAGICAL, SPIRITUAL, and "GOD GIVEN." To "Know Thyself" is a process of a lifetime. The sooner we get to SEARCHING WITHIN and taking a deep, honest, introspection of ourselves from birth to NOW, freeing ourselves from ourselves (delusion), the quicker we will become to KNOWING WHO WE TRULY ARE and THE BLESSINGS WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN.

Transcendence

 

To transcend something is "to rise above or go beyond the limits of." So, the thought of transcending oneself is to go beyond or break the threshold of where we currently are in our thoughts, feelings, actions, etc. To transcend ourselves is to change. It is to believe, hope, and have faith that WE can. It is a desire to NOT stay the same. No matter how good or bad we may think of ourselves, there is and always will be room for change, improvement, learning, growing, etc. We, individually, limit ourselves, by doubt, conditioning, experience, others influences, peer pressure, societal pressure, stereotypes, etc. We hold WITHIN ourselves the POWER to transcend, step by step, day by day. We have the CHOICE to exceed our own limits and expectations. We can do better, we can do more, we can INSPIRE, be inspired, LOVE, and be Loved. We can cultivate, nurture, and ACT ourselves into the person we WANT to be. We cannot do it alone. 

Awareness of ourselves and where we PERCEIVE limitation is a starting point.

Awareness of ourselves.....thoughts, feelings, emotions, attitude, perception, confidence and the lack thereof, is a beginning. Of course, we can’t take this all on at once and we can’t expect perfection. We decide where our starting point will be and go forward with DETERMINATION and PERSEVERANCE. We learn how to NOT take ourselves so serious and have FORGIVENESS for ourselves and others. We learn to ACCEPT ourselves, RIGHT NOW, for whoever we are and whoever we have become. We keep in mind our goals and expectations from here, forward, and DO OUR BEST. The CHANGE takes place and habituates as we ACT ourselves into our TRUE BEING and see through the very flawed ways in which we see ourselves and others. The TRUE YOU is dimensions beyond who you think you are. Let’s TRANSCEND and become the person we want to be.
