Know Self


The only way to experience truth directly is to look within, to observe oneself.All our lives we have been accustomed to look outward. We have always been interested in what is happening outside, what others are doing.We have rarely if ever tried to examine ourselves,our own mental and physical structure, our own actions are often times blamed on others, our own reality.Therefore we remain unknown to ourselves.We do not realize how harmful this ignorance is, how much we remain the slaves of forces within ourselves of which we are unaware.The inner darkness must be dispelled to apprehend the truth.We must gain insight into our own nature in order to understand the nature of existence.The entire universe and the laws.Which ourself has made clear for us.

The mystic I am .Born with the talent to transform all that I come in contact with to become the best version of themselves.
