What do I mean when I say 'know your self':
> Knowing the source of your fears, anger, frustration, urges, cravings, sadness, grief etc ...
> Knowing the story behind your wounds, how deep the wounds are, how much they hurt or had hurt ...
> Know the content of your shadow, and the nature of demons which lurk there
> Knowing your longings, calling, purpose, the meaning of your life which emerges from your core, and how you align it with your belief system
> Knowing your limitations and for what exactly you will need help from others and your Creator
> Knowing your needs and wants and the difference between them
> Knowing the values or principles you stand for and the ones you feel less concerned about, when and why ... (Often people compromise on their principles in front of some people)
> Knowing why you like or dislike something, not just rational but emotional reasons also ...
> Knowing your core / primary intentions behind every action/decision or preference
> knowing reasons (emotional in particular) behind your priorities
> Knowing your biases, perceptions and to what extent they distort the view of reality, and the sources of your biases ...
It's not a short journey of course, but I believe one need to be on it if they intend to come in terms with their own self ...
