What Are Some Ways To Find Your True Self?

In all honesty, how do we get to know ourselves? Personally I have a better relationship with the earth, then I have with myself. Does that make sense? Do we ever find ourselves? When would we know, if we did? Are we always going to be evolving?​

 

do what brings you joy, avoid what makes you miserable, and allow yourself to feel.

 

This. You have to feel everything. Don't bury anything deep down inside of you.

 

Just be

 

An insight not often gleaned comes from comparing what you say with what you do. Do you do the things you say you will do. Are you the same person when you wake in the morning as the one who went the sleep the night before.
Are you honest, honesty means consistency in this instance.

 

Yes, we are always evolving. I am so grounded by working with the earth, I think it's great you have a good relationship with the earth.

 

It seems you already know that there is a self for you to know. If you haven't found this self yet, how do you know it's there?

 

social honesty. do you behave according to your own feelings (philosophy), intuition and righteousness?

or do you cave in and play it safe, do what's expected, keep everyone and your[self] comfortable?

that's one way for me to test it. You don't necessarily have to go balls-to-the-walls and 'find yourself' neither -- and whatever such a journey means can take different rules and manifestations for each person too. You're free to dance anyway you'd like to master!


Yes I think we are always evolving. Being alive means you're always moving in a still world with no real concept of time.

This then makes the journey endless 'till death. So sweet. You'll never be bored or done. :]

 

^^^ This!

 

To 'find yourself' suggest there's already something there to locate, maybe there is no such thing as "finding ourselves" Maybe we can only build ourselves through decisions and consequences.

Finding the earth makes sense, it does already exist, it has already been built. But you're not lost, you're merely growing

 

You ask profound questions young Jedi. Perhaps though meditation you will find what you seek.

 

Question authority. ANY authority.

 

Yes, but make sure you are knowledgeable in what you are questioning or you look like a fool.

 

Find a nice spot in the woods on a sunny morning and meditate. Simply just close your eyes, breath naturally (don't force it) AND listen to all that is around you. You will find time is irrelevant and a natural euphoric feeling will establish itself. Be open to the world as it actually is.

As has been posted, finding yourself means to simply do what makes you UNQUESTIONABLY happy. But also mindful of others opinions and choices, just remember we are all closely joined and our subjectivity makes us individual.

 

What is BEING your true self:

it's fun. probably, call me crazy but less and less fear to be you & around others.

 

though meditation is great, and that's cool and a great start so you can internally decide 'what'

--
if you're not ya know, socially being you, are you really effecting anything?

~~ it's how you behave and show the world that impacts movement and change. Sitting on a tree in a Lake then going out the next day to feign the same style of living and conversation meant nothing.


~~then again, we have no responsibility to effect change. I feel life is a blessing but also a very contradicting experiences, but moral and moral-less, but superb and petty,
both worth changing but ultimately you're gonna leave this earth anyways so why bother.


but if you decide to go for epic in that pendulum,
grace your wisdom upon us. Otherwise you're just a douche who listened to his breath for hours and learned how boring that is.

 

To know yourself, spend time with yourself; remove all outside stimuli because it is full of other peoples' opinions and ideas- no friends, no family, no t.v., no video, no games, no books, and no music.

When you are with yourself, alone, you will begin to know yourself.

 

Earth as in dirt? Or the mantle then iron core under all the dirt?

Or are you talking about the ecosystem? All the animals that will eat there young if hungry enough?

 

I feel like you should already know yourself. What you need to do is find out who are really your friends and who aren't. Now to accomplish this is actually quite easy you just announce to the world all over your social media that you're a juggalo. And yeah you'll lose 90% of your "friends" in 24hrs but the ones left you find are just pretty darn awesome and like "dude, why haven't we talked in life!!"
