'Know thyself', was the ancient admonition of the Oracle of Delphi

The ancient wisdom traditions always depict "man" (male and female) as a composite being and frequently as the microcosmic reflection of the conscious living universe: as above, so below. Plato, for example, allegorizes the kingdom outside (the ideal State) and within (ourselves) as a Republic composed of many citizens. He describes it as a diverse yet interdependent polity ideally ruled by the philosopher, the wisdom-loving hero who has struggled up the steep and rugged ascent from the prison of ignorance to the luminous realm of truth. Self-discovery is a process of self-transformation: progressively taming and refining the disorderly elements of the soul, and "solarizing" one's inner nature by identifying with the author of one's being and its radiant ideals of Justice, Beauty, and the Good
Socrates' guiding rule was, "Know Thyself." These words are among the most powerful ever uttered, and of eternal significance. No better advice has ever been given to man or woman. When one begins to explore this dictate it leads to profound understandings about all of creation. It makes unhappiness, fear, sadness, doubt, and all the negative emotions meaningless.

'The kingdom of God is within you'. Jesus

"Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" (1 Cor 3:16).
To thine own self be true. ~ Shakespeare

Turn the spotlight inward. ~ Gandhi

Trust yourself and you will know how to live. ~ Goethe

  • The audience are not ready for this information...Intelligent, mature people only!

    There is a Wise ass dude who seems to always wantto laugh at inappropriate times.

  • Rudolph the red noised reindeer had a very shiny nose. And if you EVER saw it, you would even say it glows.

    All of the other reindeer( Scorpio,Sag, and Cap) used to laugh and call him names. They wouldn't let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

    Then one foggy Xmas night, Santa (Saturn) came to say...Rudolph (sun) with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight. THEN how the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee..Rudolph the red noised reindr youll go down in HISTORY

  • the jews are trash inbreed faggots sorry whoever this may offend but i don't care really!!!!

  • @B00MK To be or not to be what? Should be the question! We're all puppets of society, and natural forces too! We don't design and build ourselves do we? Other forces, which are part of us, do that.

    "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts,,," 'As you like it.'

    I think our role is to wake up to the 'director' within us all you know, stop being puppets:-)

  • @ianrkav Shakespeare was/is a puppet of society. "To be or not to be, that is the question"

  • @1952YOU1320TUBE1952 By the way, funny you should be watching this the same time I was!:-)

  • OK. I have just sat through about six hours of your vids. What would be the practical application of all this, how can I make it work for me?

    Thanks.

    It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves. (Shakespeare)

  • @1952YOU1320TUBE1952 What's the practical application of all this though Roy?

  • Thank you, what a nice human being,

  • Thank you Santos for sharing, fantastic information. But it seems to me that the Earth mother that nurtures us seems to be somewhat forgotten/ignored in this story! Native peoples talk about the Earth as mother and the sun as father, Sun & Earth are the male / female energies of the same entity/source? Doesn't it also seem that the focus in this science is still biased towards the sun (hero) male but no reference to the sacrifice of the earth/female energy to facilitate this experience for us?

  • there are so many statues depicting various deities standing upon the snake as in that constellation, they are often called dragon slayers. As is Bhudda the dragon slayer, krishna is as well. The killing of draco and recrowning of the polestar. dragons, snakes demons serpents. Without the sun we cannot see those stars it is a universal repeater. They must first be translated through the sun and relayed to earth.
