Position:Home>Philosophy> Man is instructed to "Know Thyself". What is this "Thyself"


Question:Very curious....


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Very curious....

Who you are. How you think. What is joy and sorrow. Know everything about what makes you tick; meditate to know your mind and body, and how they connect -- neurologically for sure, but more. The deeper you get into your own self knowledge, the more of a cartographer you will be about yourself.

When you know yourself, never betray you again. It will hurt you more than you know.

thyself = yourself.

If someone instructs a man to know thyself, he's telling the man to know who you are. You as in YOU

thats a silly question.

Loving God completely, one finds Self in One Mind Soul-individuation.

"The Path of the Higher Self," Mark Prophet,
"Men in White Apparel," Ann Ree Colton, and
"Man, Master of His Destiny," O. M. Aivanhov, are good re this.

thyself refers to yourself. You need to know who you are and learn to be the best you can be before you do anything else.

I am also very curious to know what exactly is your point.

Look into a mirror. I'm not joking. I mean look into your eyes, look at your face, turn your head from side to side while holding eye contact. Feel your self breath. You are aware of "THYSELF."
Don't let it upset you. Your meeting a stranger.

Know your strengths. Know your weaknesses. Know your motivations. Know your financial assets. Know your limitations. Know in what ways you can be exploited. Know your goals and desires, and know what you will sacrifice to achieve these things. Know these things without fooling yourself.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in
every battle.
