Self Knowledge

In Ancient Greece, when the philosopher Socrates was asked to sum up what all philosophical commandments could be reduced to, he replied: "Know yourself".

This book takes us on a journey into our deepest, most elusive selves and arms us with a set of tools to understand our characters properly.

Self-identification with one’s state of being is the great trap. So, we must first become aware of the props we use to maintain who we think we are. It begins with: “I’m a woman” or “I’m a man.” There’s strong identification. There’s strong support for the ego, for that “I am” is the ego itself talking. Next, we identify with our abilities and our knowledge. “This is what I can do!” and “This is what I know.” Two further strong supports for the ego.

Seduction still arouses controversy and wonder. Is it a sophisticated form of art, a psychological game, or perhaps the most powerful method of manipulation? Although seduction may seem like a male prerogative, as men are usually the conquerors, you will find that we, women, can also be seductive. In the past, women initiated seduction very subtly. A woman would nonchalantly allow her handkerchief to fall near the man whose attention she wanted to attract. He would pick it up and approach the woman while firmly convinced that he alone was the initiator. But still, the question remains: who ...

This book was not written to give you something new. It was written to remove what has always stood in the way of something you already are. In the modern spiritual world, sincerity is abundant, but clarity is rare. There are more teachings, techniques, teachers, retreats, and promises of awakening than ever before — and more quiet exhaustion among seekers than at any other time in history. People meditate, heal, analyze, practice, read, surrender, transcend, and improve. And still, beneath it all, the same question remains unanswered: Who am I, really? What most traditions agree upon is ...

A Road to Self-Knowledge by Rudolf Steiner is a spiritual-guide structured as eight meditations, each focusing on successive layers of human being — from the physical body and etheric (life-force) body, through the elemental world and the “Guardian of the Threshold,” to the astral body, the I- or thought-body, the nature of experience in supersensible realms, and finally the remembrance of one’s repeated earthly lives.

There are many ways of describing overthinking. It can be understood as a situation where one cannot stop worrying and thinking about things. Overthinking is not a disorder. It involves a fear that grows in you and overwhelms you, but you can’t help yourself but let it do so. In some cases, instead of crying it out, you simply opt to hold back your tears. It’s the fear of failure: failing at your job, failing a certain class, failing in your relationships.

Grit & Grace presents a framework for achieving sustainable success through the integration of mental toughness (Grit) and emotional intelligence (Grace). The author, Jeff D. Standridge, Ed.D., argues that while grit alone—the relentless drive to succeed—has gained popularity through research by psychologists like Angela Duckworth, it's insufficient on its own.

Key Concepts: Grit is defined as "the quality of being adaptable, with the ability to bounce back despite significant adversity, and to ...
