We are such complex creatures that we can never really bring all aspects of ourselves into awareness at once or even consecutively. And we keep on changing. When I was a girl, I reacted and thought differently than I did as a young mother, and again I have changed as I have grown older. All the elements of the girl are still in me and the things that were part of my history then are still part of my history. But each element has evolved, built on itself, merged with other parts, produced new elements, and so on.
Nobody can keep track of all of that.
Finally, we all seem to have built-in mechanisms that make us blind to parts of ourselves. Or perhaps we cannot see parts of ourselves because we are not ready to. However, getting to know ourselves a piece at a time can lead to greater understanding of not only ourselves, but others. This course, therefore, will not be able to give you full self knowledge. It does attempt to help you to learn more about yourself.
