Know thyself

Inscribed upon the temple to Apollo at Delphi in classical Greece was the inscription “Gnothi se auton” which means “Know thyself.”

This phrase has a magnetic power, the admonition strikes at the heart of an inner turmoil undetected until now, stirring the spirited faculty of our soul to embark on a quest for understanding. But before we are able to do that, first we must understand and learn our own inner and external self.
