What Is The Beginning Of Wisdom?

To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom. That does not mean being smart or being well educated. You can be these things and not have the wisdom that comes from observing and witnessing yourself in your surroundings, in your relationships with others, in your relationship with Life, and especially in your relationship with God. The relationship with the Self is the relationship with God. To know thyself opens the Kingdom of Heaven, and you cannot find any answers outside of your Self. The journey of knowing thyself is one of immense joy, awe, glory, and gratitude.
