Know Thyself

State of consciousness is, being subject to the circle of influence that surrounds an individual or group and becomes the impressions on the thoughts actions and response to the world around them. The state of being conscious, refers to a state of awakening or knowing, self awareness and intent.

It is therefore important to be conscious of who we are and ultimately our potential, so that we can define the state of our consciousness and not allow only the things that have been put in front of us to define who we are. What other people say about us is history, what we say about ourselves is ourstory.

"History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is also a compass that people use to find themselves on the map of human geography. The role of history is to tell a people what they have been, what they are and where they are. The most important role that history plays is that it has the function of telling a people where they must still go and what they still must be."

Identification with one's history and culture (Ourstory) is truly the first step towards regaining a sense of consciousness. "True teachings is not the accumulation of knowledge; it is an awakening of consciousness which goes through successive stages." - ( KMT Proverb )

“When the truth comes along and you know in your bones that it’s the truth yet you still refuse to accept and defend it, you then really begin to die.”
