@TickTockMan,
I am on a stand-up puter at work, was on the wrong page again, but as far as the topic,
<Know Thyself has been attributed to many
Greek Philosophers.
Heraclitus is said to have written:
I have inquired of myself.
Jung says that individuation, the act of knowing yourself, begins in the second half of your life, and it starts by accepting your Shadow.
Is knowing yourself worthwhile? Why or why not? Do you try to know yourself? How do you inquire? What have you learned? Has it changed as you grew older?>
Plato had fun with this because since a thing is not different from itself, it cannot possibly know itself. We can know what our job is as self, and learn how to do that job, but alas, by the principles of predication, one can never know one's self. The eye does not see itself, the ear does not hear itself, the vestibular system does not aquire the forms of gravity by the vestibular system nor do we procreate by self-cloning. Such elimentary non-sense however can be mitigated by a nice pair of plaid kilts. j.c.
