People have many questions surrounding this common phrase in the conscious community. I will briefly break down my personal understanding of the phrase so that others can begin to seek it for themselves.
I believe that Knowledge of Self is a process. It is how we develop as conscious beings. It begins by questioning everything. Think back to when you were a child. How many times were you discouraged from asking questions? How many times were you told, “Because I said so”? It is my opinion that these childhood experiences caused many of us to stop questioning all together. However, we have to return to our inquisitive instincts.
I suggest that we all critically analyze new information and DO OUR OWN RESEARCH on the topic. Basically, we should question everything. When I first began to “wake up” I was surprised at all the lies I had been told throughout my life. I discovered lies about September 11th, Ghandi, and Abraham Lincoln. Discovering the truth about these topics led me to question EVERYTHING I had ever been taught, especially in school.
These are only my ideas regarding the inception of Knowledge of Self. As I stated above, I believe it is a process. The first step is to question everything. As you develop in consciousness you will utilize other techniques to continue the process of acquiring Knowledge of Self.
