SELF-KNOWLEDGE

Self-development begins with self-knowledge!
"Know thyself" - these words were written on the pediment of the temple at Delphi.
To know oneself does not mean to know one's character with positive qualities and flaws, or to know the limited human capabilities. If this were so, then even children would be able to know themselves. In "know thyself," what is this "yourself"? Who is "you yourself"? Are those your arms, legs, brain? No. Feelings? Thoughts? Especially not.
"You yourself..." is a part of God, a spark of the immortal Spirit, something infinite, very pure and bright... It is there that a person must find himself in order to know himself, in this essence, which is immortal, which is omniscient, which is omnipotent in God... and realize that man is a part of Him, and there is no life or activity separate from Him.

And then it is discovered that everything that a person thought, everything that he felt was an illusion, was unreal, that the reality was this higher "I", his inner "I", which is God Himself, and that if a person makes every effort to connect with Him, to feel like a part of Him, that he and Him are one, his consciousness will merge with the Eternal, with the Most High; a person will no longer feel separated, small, suffering, he will feel like LOVE itself, since "God is LOVE"!
As long as a person identifies with his physical body, he remains vulnerable, weak, mortal, like the physical body, and will be affected by everything that touches the physical body. But if he ceases to identify himself with his physical body in order to identify himself with the source of life, with the Creator, then he moves further and further away from weakness, from old age, from illness and death and approaches the One who is immortal, omnipotent and omnipresent.
As long as a person is content with knowing what is not himself, he will never achieve what he strives for: freedom, peace, happiness. To know oneself is to dissolve in the immensity of God.

When the Initiates of Ancient Greece said: "Know thyself," they did not prescribe to know thyself in all thy weaknesses and limitations, for weaknesses, flaws, and vices are not "you yourself." Here's what you need to finally understand!

This merging with God, of course, cannot happen very quickly. Others, in their whole life, do not even manage to acquire this higher consciousness, thanks to which they would feel that they are one with the Supreme. From time to time they have glimpses and insights, but the next day they again feel separated, weak, unhappy. One who has realized this merging with his higher Self is at peace and in light. He reaches such an elevated level of consciousness, so vast that he considers the whole creation as part of himself, that he no longer has enemies, and he can no longer harm anyone, he loves all creatures, because he feels that he himself lives in all creatures.
Until a person knows his true identity, he identifies himself with the desires of the ego mind.
As long as we identify with the ego mind, we will be vulnerable because it will always push us to make demands on others that they cannot satisfy.

We all influence each other. And when we wake up, we become a spark that ignites the hearts of others.
Individual changes precede global changes. Each of us is priceless, each is an irreplaceable precious piece in the most beautiful mosaic of the Whole. Smiling at a stranger, saying a kind word to a grieved neighbor already means starting a good chain of events to improve the world.
You are in a dark, gloomy basement. You wander to the touch, stumbling and injuring your body on invisible barriers. And suddenly, somewhere above, under the ceiling, a door opens, and for a moment the eye snatches out of the darkness a staircase of twelve steps. And you need to go through all these 12 steps to the Light.
Nothing will stop us on the way, because there is nothing stronger than the Spirit that binds all of humanity into one huge family. We are the seed of the future, sprouts reaching for the Light!

How do donations work? A person gives what, according to his fate, he could not give. That is, he gives what is his own. Higher forces see that the rule is being violated, stereotypes are broken - something needs to be corrected.

A person gives money for a donation in the amount he sees fit. It depends on the possibilities, the mood. One must always ask the question - why? You give money for a reason. And the higher powers watch in which guna you give donations: in ignorance, in passion, in goodness or in spirituality.

Donations in the mode of ignorance

In the mode of ignorance, a person will give money so that nothing happens to him in the future. . His motive is fear and guilt.

8 most important verbs


Look
In both. With the look of a smart fox, with the amber eyes of an owl, not to miss anything and no one. Because everything in the world is sudden and fleeting. One single moment can take everything. No return. Or put the whole world in your palm. And this means to meet the sunrises, see off the sunsets and not give yourself a chance to miss something ... Look into the depths of yourself. To heaven In loving eyes.

What is behind the proverbial "love yourself"?


The phrase "love yourself and everything will pass" has already set the teeth on edge.

You cannot love yourself through the use of external tools, you cannot force yourself to love yourself through force and resistance. How do you imagine that?

Your own loving parent.


Imagine a person who enjoys life, sincerely expresses his desires and feelings, everything is interesting and curious to him, he lives effortlessly. Try to be in that state. As if everything is fine, but the soul is light and joyful.

This person is very similar to a child, right? And if an adult person feels and behaves in this way, it means that everything is in order with his inner child, that at this very moment he cares and loves this part of himself.

Happiness hormones. How to train the brain to produce serotonin, dopamine, endorphin and oxytocin


Love is a cocktail of neurochemicals

Each of the “hormones of happiness” in its own way is involved in the formation of a love feeling. The joys and sorrows of love known to us are strikingly similar to the effects of dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphin, and cortisol on the human body. The sex hormones testosterone and estrogen are also very important for the emotions that we associate with love, but they are not discussed in this book because they do not directly affect the creation of a feeling of happiness. They are only responsible for the special physiological reactions of the body.

The priority activity of the Department for the Protection of Children's Rights is the formation and implementation of state policy in the field of spiritual development and protection of children's morality.

Since September 1, 2010, at the initiative of Sara Alpysovna Nazarbayeva, the program of moral and spiritual education "Self-Knowledge" has been introduced in the educational organizations of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

According to the joint action plan to support the program of moral and spiritual education "Self-knowledge" for 2016, a decade of moral and spiritual education "Self-knowledge - pedagogy of love and creativity" was planned to be held in all educational organizations from February 2 to February 12, 2016.

Based on the plan for the decade “Self-knowledge: pedagogy of Love and creativity”, a number of events, competitions and classes were held at KSU “OSSH No. 8 named after V. Komarov”, under the motto: “Know yourself, and everything around will become kinder, brighter, more understandable and prettier! And every day you live will suddenly become happier, happier!

The decade was held in order to manifest spiritual and moral education in the younger generation through the formation of value orientations, the development of creative potential, the encouragement of the desire for self-expression in creative activity, the manifestation of personal qualities, citizenship, the desire for self-improvement and self-knowledge.

The opening of the decade was held on February 2, 2016. Students got acquainted with the life of S. A. Nazarbayeva.

Various competitions, book exhibitions, games, open lessons on the theme: "Love, mother, peace, kindness, friendship" were held. Spiritual and moral development and education of students are the primary task of the modern educational system.

Therefore, the purpose of this decade was to acquaint children with such a moral concept as mercy in order to develop their own moral views, judgments, assessments, as well as to develop adequate evaluation activities aimed at analyzing their own behavior and the actions of people around them, to develop such personal qualities as the ability to recognize their mistakes, analyze them and draw conclusions, critically reflect on their own moral actions and the actions of peers and classmates.

And in the end, they concluded that the subject "Self-Knowledge" really helps a person to find himself, reveal his best qualities, maintain his dignity and always remain a person, in the full sense of the word!
