KNOW THYSELF

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, amidst the swirling galaxies and celestial bodies, there exists a fundamental truth whispered through the ages: “Know Thyself.” These two simple words are laden with a profound wisdom, that echos through history, resonating across cultures, philosophies, and spiritual traditions.

At its essence, the Hermetic axiom Know Thyself beckons us to embark on a journey — not across distant lands or through the depths of outer space, but rather into the uncharted territory of our own being. It is an invitation to delve into the labyrinth of our soul , to unravel the mysteries hidden within the recesses of our consciousness. To know oneself is to embark on the noblest of quests, a quest for self-discovery that transcends the challenges and obstacles that the human condition invariably promises us all.

In the Modern Mystery School tradition, to Know Thyself is not solely the inward journey toward enlightenment and self-realization, it is most importantly the outward expression of love, service and compassion for others. To Know Thyself is to know your true purpose and live that out in your life every day with pure joy and abundance. If you are called to help others, know that your healing can heal the world. Your transformation can cause a ripple of great change.

It is a known fact amongst the Hermeticists of the ages, that on our expedition to enlightenment we are not alone. We can shift our perspective from self to others, from the one to the many, microcosm to the macrocosm, from the individual to the universal.
