#Know thyself

[theweightofdivinity]

If we aren’t operating from love, then what spirit is driving it?

Love is the law. Check the spirit.

The paradox is that we are more awake when we are asleep, to ourselves, than we are when we are awake. [ . . ] But as soon as we wake up we go to sleep. Then we lose all insight, all awakeness for the more subtle processes of our feeling, of our knowledge, and we are asleep to all and that’s the way we live. Is it a wonder that people make so little sense of their lives? That people are so unhappy in the midst of plenty? That people who have everything that would be necessary to make out of life the very best life can give, flounder, are unhappy, dissatisfied, disappointed and at the end of life have often a very bitter and sad feeling that they have lived and yet they have never been alive. That they were awake but they never woke up. That is what it means to be aware of oneself.

When you know who you are and embody inner-contentedness, you won’t need to perform for others to prove your value.

"To go beyond the mind, you must be silent and quiet. Peace and silence, silence and peace – this is the way beyond. "

Smart people love to be in the inner ring. Of course, they won’t admit it. They’ll say they’re just curious, exploring ideas. But underneath it all is the thrill of exclusivity — the idea that while the masses are distracted by trivia, we are studying timeless truths. We see the strings behind the puppet show that we are closer to the source. The guru knows this. The guru is selling identity, belonging, and meaning, and all of it comes dressed in the language of logic. It doesn’t matter whether the content is spiritual, political, dietary, economic, or metaphysical. The pattern is always the same: Certainty masquerading as insight, devotion disguised as discernment. How do you break the spell?

γνῶθι σαὐτὸν (know thyself)

We stand in deep reverence for the monumental contributions of Dr. John Henrik Clarke, Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan, and Dr. Chancellor Williams—warriors of African history who fearlessly unearthed the truth and restored the dignity of our people. As Marcus Garvey taught us, "A people without knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots." These scholars ensured that our roots were never severed, our identity never erased, and our destiny never dictated by foreign hands.

They dedicated their lives to the liberation of African minds, challenging Eurocentric distortions and empowering us with the knowledge of our true greatness. From the ancient kingdoms of Africa to the resistance of the diaspora, they illuminated the path toward self-reliance, unity, and Pan-African consciousness.

As Garveyites, we uphold their mission—reclaiming Africa for Africans, embracing our ancestral wisdom, and forging a future rooted in self-determination. Their work remains a torch that guides us toward the realization of African redemption. We honor them not only in words but through action, education, and the unwavering pursuit of African liberation.

Rise in power, mighty scholars! Your legacy lives on in the spirit of every African who refuses to be miseducated!

Quantum physics didn’t break the rules…

it reminded us there never were any. Particles appear only when observed. Time folds. Matter flickers between states. Nothing is solid. Everything responds to attention. This reality isn’t fixed, it’s entangled, informed, and aware. We’re not just in it. We’re generating it. Like walking fields of electricity.

See we don’t see reality. We trigger it.

Present for a friend. It's the phrase "Know thyself" in Greek (γνῶθι σεαυτόν). First design by myself.

"Solitude is not the absence of love, but the presence of Self."

"Unknown" ...BUT Such TRUTH!!!

I could have never made it that simple!

NONDUAL MEDITATION

Key pointers:-

1. You cannot practise being Awareness. You are it, here and now.

2. Remember:- Whatever I am aware of, that I am not.

3. Keep it real.

4. Stay with the teachings of Vedanta, read the teachings, contemplate/think about the teachings, till it becomes clear - I AM THAT.

Follow your Self

Don’t rely on the teachings of others to change your life. Only you exist and only you can change your life by whatever means you see fit. All these different teachings are just pointing you back to yourself, that’s why I don’t care if I use dualistic language because I don’t follow Non Duality like the Bible I refuse to adhere to any concept 100%. I just take what I resonate with from different concepts (we live in a conceptual world it’s impossible to avoid) and leave the rest. If you don’t resonate with a teacher that doesn’t mean you’re doing something “wrong” just follow what feels right to you. In the beginning it’s easy to see seemingly enlightened people as your savior and if you just follow in their footsteps you will become enlightened too, but your idols are actually just a creation of your mind. Notice how people only put the people they don’t know on a pedestal 🤔. Okay bye 🤪✌️
