To Thine Own Self Be True 01 Know Your True Self
It is possible to know the breadth, depth, and complexities of humanity by exploring our own psychology, since each individual is a reflection or microcosm of the external world. Conventional wisdom also encourages conformity to society while acknowledging its possible costs: the end of originality, the loss of beauty, the corruption of innocence, and the weakening of virtue. By identifying three constituents of psychological experience (consciousness, defects, and personality) in relation to specific events, it becomes possible to awaken our true nature, modify our personal experiences, improve our relationships, master our full potential, and produce positive results within all domains of our life.
