Know Thyself

Know Thyself

“Know Thyself”—the ancients carved these words into stone,
etched above the temple gates,
as both a warning and a reminder:
to remember who we truly are
as we pass through the gateless gates of our own lives.

It is not just advice.
It is the key to salvation,
The cipher that unlocks the mysteries—
and empty the cages—
that have kept us bound, unaware, wandering.

And yet, in the long arc of time and history,
We chose ignorance.

                                              We cast aside the seek for knowledge.

We turned away from the inner mirror.

We bartered insight for indulgence.
We devoted our energy not to knowing, but to wanting.

Driven by unchecked desires,
we cater to the appetites of the body and the ego in all that we do.
We bow to the gods of excess, of speed, of acquisition.

And now—ironically—we have evolved…
backwards.

We have become the blind amoebas we once emerged from—
multiplying without reflection,
sleepwalking through existence,
each of us carrying our own nightmares inside,
from one hole to another.

And we have the audacity to call this evolution?
