self-knowledge [Theme]

Self-distancing helps take the edge off everyday unpleasant events. Failures and troubles seem less personal. Self-distancing allows you to better cope with anxiety about the future - for example, about failing an exam or illness.

Focusing on yourself can reduce your sense of vulnerability, but it can also isolate you from your life force. Going inward, combing through what's bothering you, and scrutinizing every detail of what happened or might happen, can play a role in the onset and maintenance of depression.

March is about renewal and awakening, about the revelation of feminine energy, about connection with nature and its gifts, about self-care and self-knowledge, about brewed morning tea with rose hips and raisins, which gives warmth inside and leaves a sweet aftertaste, about lemons in a wicker basket on the kitchen table, about jars of tea and spices that fill the whole house with their aroma, about baked porridge for breakfast, to which you add pieces of cheese, it melts and gives a salty-pleasant taste, about a city drowning in the first spring flowers, about the return the desire to walk, about the feeling of being inspired by new things...

Mom, they say a song can become a bridge. In my opinion, the song is also the ground on which we stand. Maybe we sang to keep from falling. Maybe we sang to preserve ourselves.

The fear of knowing yourself and accepting your own shortcomings and limitations leads almost all people to idealize their personality and overestimate their abilities, while rationalizing that the causes of problems are in external circumstances and beyond their control.

After all, we know that there is still time, which, as we have noticed, changes the characteristics of a person. A person grows in childhood and youth, decreases in height in old age, gets fatter, loses weight. And if time can change a person’s external characteristics, then that means everything that is hidden can also be changed by time! And if, with the help of physical exercises, we ourselves, over time, change our body, our figure, our external data, then it means that we simply cannot help but have the ability to change our indicators in those dimensions that are hidden from view. This means that we have the ability to increase our power of thought, change our perception of the world, reduce anger, increase the allotted time and change our other qualities. But we don’t know how to do this, because we don’t know ourselves, we don’t know our other dimensions, which we don’t see, which are inside us.

Self-knowledge is the opportunity to see, understand, explore, and maybe change, balance your depths, what is hidden from view. I’ll try to explain it to you using geometry as an example. I think it will be clearer this way. You went to school and know what a cube is, right? Here, imagine that you are holding a green cube in your hands. What can you say about him? Its color and the three dimensions of this figure: length, width, height. All! We look at it based on the three-dimensional dimension instilled in us since childhood. We don't see anymore. In addition, we can only see three sides of it because we are accustomed to three-dimensional measurement, so the remaining sides are hidden from our eyes. But, nevertheless, we know for sure that there are other sides too, although we do not see them. Now imagine that inside, from all the edges of the cube, there are also faces inside it, which are connected to each other with other faces... You know what a tesseract is? This is a four-dimensional hypercube. Imagine that these invisible faces can move, shift, change in size, go beyond the boundaries of the cube, give birth to new faces, turning from a tesseract into a penteract - a five-dimensional cube. That is, outwardly you are holding in your hands what seems to be an ordinary three-dimensional cube, but in fact it can have many dimensions. And it’s difficult for you to measure what’s inside, you don’t see it. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's the same with a person. We see his external data, we can measure his height, shoulder width, waist size and the like. But we cannot measure his power of thought, his thinking, his sensitivity, his perception of the world, the time allotted to him and much more that we feel, know that it is, but do not see it. It's all hidden to the eye, somewhere inside.

Sometimes you need to reinvent yourself to find a new path and a new goal.

Hearing yourself is a whole science. Very important. Very valuable.

Life is an endless path to self-knowledge, to understanding oneself and the world around us.

So should we get rid of passions? No! You need to get rid of nonsense, but you need to experience passions, even the strongest ones. Because only in passions does the path to knowledge of one’s own motives open.

Yes, he left the country as Snowden - Yes, he flew in and rented a hostel.

Friendship at a young age shapes us as individuals to a greater extent, because at this age we are trying to figure out who we are.

In the very heart of you.
