Each day we rode to Center Camp for our morning coffee ritual. It was the central meeting place in Black Rock City, a place for music, friends, and meditation. On our last day we were greeted with very high winds whipping across the playa. These winds threw dust in every direction, making goggles and masks essential accessories. Arriving at Center Camp, we found the dust falling softly like tiny permanent snowflakes onto our clothes and skin. It was beautiful. Dust covered everything, but not the spirit of Center Camp—it made me want to jump for joy and be reflective at the exact same moment. It filled my heart with joy and my eyes with tears. The vibe here blew me away— every day, every person, every turn. I never wanted to leave.

They said a good way of gaining self-knowledge

was to talk to yourself while looking in a mirror,

but without my glasses on I couldn’t see too well

and I wound up thinking I was someone else.

 

Then I met someone, who by the same process,

had convinced themselves they were me

and seeing as I didn’t have my glasses on,

who the hell was I to argue?

Spring 2017 Leadership from the Inside Out: Know Thyself Before Leading Others with Sharon Richmond

In this video, you learn what falls under ‘I’ and ‘my’. We say my body, my clothes, my job and my business therefore ‘I’ must be separate from all belongings. Relatively one is husband, engineer etc. then who are you in real terms? To separate I and MY you need a spiritual scientist who can separate your Soul and other elements in this body.

Looks like a conversation between Grant and Meade the afternoon before Pickett's Charge the following morning. Meade made history when he had his field officers vote on the plan for the day. They all voted to meet Pickett's charge. The rest is history.

My new ink. It is Latin for Know Thyself

sign painted on the now closed Heritage Books & Music on Granville Avenue in Chicago.

 

I really wanted to get a picture of the pyramid eye painting that was also on the window, but the landlord scraped it off when he put the For Rent sign up.

"Know thyself" was the ancient saying carved on the entrance to the oracle at Delphi in Ancient Greece. The prophetess of Apollo, known as the Pythia, spoke the will of Apollo for visitors and devotees for many centuries. Her place as the oracle was preserved by the Greeks from worships that had taken place at the oracle in Delphi dating back to the worship of Gaia, and the female goddesses that preceeded the Greek pantheon.

 

In the Winter months, when Apollo was said to have deserted his temple, his place was taken by his half-brother Dionysus, who had his tomb within the temple. The male priests may have had their own secret rites to the dying god during the winter months.

 

These ancient Dionysian mysteries of initiation into secret rites are honored in this replica called the "Tyler's Chair", which is placed just outside the doors to the Temple Room in the Masonic House of Temple of the Scottish Rite in Washington DC.
