Philosophy 2.

Mal: Well yes, look at all the wars. They say God tells us to kill to other people. That's the weird one. 

Fem: On both sides. Funny how that works. 

BOB: But you said we were here to know thyself, [[strikethrough]] earlier much earlier today. [[/strikethrough]] In knowing thyself can't each person then listen closely until they hear the Internal Voice that is the true Self, and that is sort of a message from a god that we each have personally?

B: That is it, yes. It's very hard face oneself. I was angry the other day and I wanted to blame it completely on the person who really was guilty. [[strikethrough]] (laughter) [[/strikethrough]] But, I realized that it was my own impatience, my own desire to prove right, which doesn't matter. And I saw within myself this desire to prove myself right. I saw my impatience, thank God. So from my standpoint, I was in the wrong. But, it's like a woman who chatters all the time...she can't stop until she realizes she's chattering all the time. And we can't stop being jealous until we face that we're jealous, or greedy, or whatever you wish. 

So, the self knowledge is the basic thing. And as I said just a little while ago with all the great religious teachers down the ages, with all of them,-the thing is, "Man know thyself." Know what we are. It's a duality. It's not a bad process.
