The Most Important Practice: Know Thyself

By Sekayi

We've all heard this before. But, it doesn't make it any less powerful. Reputed to have been used in ancient Greece by sages who studied in ancient Kemet (Egypt), knowing oneself is the quintessential teaching. 

It's such a simple two word statement but it yields life changing effects. For women especially, I feel, this simple koan is crucial. What can be so difficult about knowing oneself? That depends... Whose interpretations of who you are have you been blindly accepting? 

Wife, mother, babysitter, CEO, sex worker... Whatever label has been assigned to you is not "you." It's a role you play. Remember to get space from it whenever possible to just sit with your true Self. The more you go into the silence of Self, the less you'll identity with labels and the various frustrations of life. And, the sooner you'll attain pure Self realization.

I didn't hear this specific phrase in the dreamtime but I did receive a visual representation... The symbol of a fish following behind the Kemetic glyph for Neter. It means know and follow the word, know that you swim in a sea of self generated vibration. 

You always get to choose the direction of your own sail. It doesn't matter what occurs around you or to you.. Know Thyself. Always.
