MY MISSION STATEMENT
-
- “Aim for the brightest star to know who you truly are!” My Mission Statement is an extension of the Apollonian maxim to ‘Know Thyself’. It reminds one to avail of the whole spectrum of virtues in order to attain the greatest possible good within the constructs of time; in light of and to the degree that wisdom is revealed and the capacity to discern is refined, one can steady their aim in view to contemplation: To illuminate the mind with ideas that can assist all sentient beings for the good of the whole is one the highest ideals of the visionary but to cognize these ideas into a form that is simple, clear and easy to understand remains the task of the philosopher. Thro’ the dichotomy of language there is always a better way to ask a question, and by means of this dialectical interplay with others and ourselves we align our desires and intentions so as to harmonize and draw closer to that most brilliant star; our source of existence and thereby the intelligence (gnosis) by which to realize who we truly are.
