Life experiences in self-knowledge

"It is necessary to understand the need to learn to live".

VM Samael Aun Weor

Self-knowledge, also known as self-knowledgeIt is desired by many and essential for those who want to overcome the mechanics of daily life and achieve the awakening of consciousness. VM Samael Aun Weor, in his writings, makes clear the importance of fundamental aspects for self-knowledge, such as will, understanding, discipline and life experiences.

"The experiences are certainly magnificent in every sense. It is not possible to obtain didactic material for the development of consciousness from a place other than experiences. Therefore, those who repudiate or protest against the painful experiences of life are evidently depriving themselves of the best: they are depriving themselves precisely of the living source which can lead them to the strengthening of the life of the soul."VM Samael Aun Weor.

Every life experience can and should be used for self-knowledge. Unfortunately, many reject, underestimate, repudiate and detest them. However, for a serious work of self-knowledge and the elimination of psychological defectsIt is essential to use all our experiences, including the simplest ones.

It is through daily experience that we discover and recognise our psychological defects. They are easily observable in our relationships with people, in our relationships with our family, friends and co-workers.

Thus, the VM Samael Aun Weor warns us to "be alert and vigilant like the watchman in time of war" at all times, and not to identify ourselves with any event, occurrence or circumstance.

As a result, life experiences are valuable learning material for our development and awakening. However painful they may be, we must make use of them, recognise our psychological defects, work on them through observation and understanding. In order to finally eliminate them and become truly free.
