![[Know Thyself - FINAL web.jpg]]
## Narrative:
This is a piece I had wanted to create since 2019 after I had finished "[[Heal Thyself]]"
I had first envisioned a figure in a variation of a classic Padmasana posture, but it never felt right for a reason. So I kept putting it off.
After a succession of many powerful, humbling, terrifying, and revealing experiences over the next four years, I finally knew.
I knew that to know oneself, could not be signified solely by the image of a meditating human, Yes meditation had its powerful place in the trinity, but
it was just one aspect, albeit a powerful one.
To know oneself required constant application of the Trivium: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric, maintained in balance.
The Trinary pillars of Spirit, Body, and Mind. Manifestation - Intuition - Action
It is the true sovereign; Self Gnosis, intricate awareness of the masks we wear and the roles we choose to engage in. The most important and crucial is
to filter all through the timeless, unyielding knowledge and absolute fact that the ONLY legitimate form of Authority is the authority of the self.
