Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 " If we progress the world progresses. As you are, so is the world. Without understanding the Self what is the use of understanding the world? Without Self-knowledge, knowledge of the world is of no use. Dive inward and find the treasure hidden there. Open your heart and see the world through the eyes of the true Self. Tear aside the veils and see the divine majesty of your own Self.

To help others who maybe feel a bit like outcasts not belonging to that noble club of enlightened " Selfs " I herewith do state: I, Werner, have not the least idea what Self is. And to stop right from the beginning anyone trying to explain it to me I have to add that I have read all that " spiritual " stuff already myself - no thank you.
