Self Knowledge Base & Foundation
In 500 BC, an anonymous Chinese poet wrote:

If you are thinking a year ahead, sow the seed. If you are thinking ten years ahead, plant a tree. If you are thinking
one hundred years ahead, educate the people. By sowing a seed once, you will harvest once. By planting a tree, you
will harvest tenfold. By educating the people, you will harvest one hundredfold.

There is one religion; The religion of  KNOW THYSELF. A modern viewpoint  of  
spirituality and  what  it  may mean  from  a self  psychology perspective.



This book attempts to answer those seemingly ordinary questions of life, with deep factual/practical answers. How
do I get to my core being? Who am I? What do I do with my religion, culture, environment, family, gender, childhood
etc., and how should I interact with these aspects of my identity? I feel like I have no use for some of these concepts.
Do I need to learn about them, and if so, why? How do I put a meaning to my life? What do I do with my emotional
baggage? Others say I have it all, so why do I feel empty, sometimes? Why do I have such an emotional pain and can’
t cure it? I have so many people around me, so why do I feel lonely sometimes?
In this book there is a case example of an individual who learned about her culture, religion, and family background to
ease her self-growth process. An individual who used her immigration experience as a blessing, considering herself
privileged to have had experienced living in two seemingly different countries in her lifetime, she moved from East to
West in her teen life. She came to learn that this experience had expanded her mind, and thought in ways that would
not have been possible if she had not immigrated. She also learned ways to learn and acknowledge the aspects of her
life that she had escaped from, and found the experience fulfilling and uplifting. At  the end, finding one’s self,  we can
learn to move above and beyond any conditioning and become selfless. This is where we become a master of our own
existence by design and are granted full access to our free will. But it takes effort, discipline and determination to get
there.
