description: Know thyself was the maxim inscribed on the pediment of the temple at Delphi. What is this self that we have to know? Is it a question of knowing our own vices and virtues our strengths and weaknesses? to know oneself is to know the different bodies (the physical etheric mental causal buddhic and atmic bodies) of which we are formed and what each of these bodies needs. If the initiates of old insisted so much on the necessity of self-knowledge it was because this knowledge opens up tremendous possibilities for growth progress and success. As long as man is ignorant of the needs of his higher self he will continue to surfeit his physical body while his soul and spirit suffocate and die of hunger and thirst. Omraam Mikhal Avanhov
