Self-Discovery
Self-Discovery
The first question that comes to my mind is whether I know myself. I think I know myself well, but when I reflect more, I realise that my knowledge about myself is very little. The creator has given me enormous possibilities I haven’t discovered yet. So, in many ways, self-discovery is realising the potential deposited within by the creator. It is about knowing me and learning about life. What keeps me alive? Life is the breath of God. That life I am breathing in and out by grace. Breathing in is life, and breathing out is lifeless. It is a wholesome, sacred and mysterious activity by grace. People were, and are always, wondering about themselves and asking the big questions such as: Who am I? What am I? Where am I? Why am I? When and How am I? If you have found answers to these questions, you have mastered self-knowledge. In other words, you have mastered the art of self-discovery. Many Philosophers, psychologists, religious leaders, yogis, mathematicians, theologians and professors of various disciplines have debated and established theories and doctrines regarding those above-cited questions. The debate continues, like different forms of thesis, antithesis and synthesis; then the synthesis becomes thesis like a never-ending cycle. The important thing is that every synthesis is a new thesis. In that sense, our knowledge about ourselves is progressive and transitory.
Roberto Assagioli (1888 – 1974), the founder of Psychosynthesis, created an egg diagram to describe the multidimensional nature of the human psyche and self. The whole person is multifaceted, an inclusive unit that includes body, mind, soul, spirit, consciousness and the core components of the entire person. According to Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955), everything is energy and vibration. John Locke (1632 – 1704) has seen the self as a product of episodic memory. Self-discovery is a life-long journey. On this journey, we all have a cultural association of personal self-identity. We invite you to join us on this journey of self-discovery. Get in touch with us: [email protected]
