About me
I am a life coach, an author, an entrepreneur.
I am very happy to share with you this course which I put together with much love and consideration and most importantly in truth, as I speak from my own Know yourself journey (of more than 25 years by now). I was also fortunate to meet in person and be guided through years by a man – my master- who has crossed/started this journey long before.
I have been a seeker all my life. My friends and acquaintances used to call me that and would ask,
“What are you looking for? Don’t you understand that we’re not meant to know?”
another would say.
I read books, articles, the biographies of so-called great people —all in the hope of responding to that inner sense, that intuition, that there is more than what we see and know, that life is something beyond the simple passage from birth to death, beyond the mere fulfillment of duties and fixed routines.
I was searching for models of elevated people, for free human beings, a man who has attained the highest form of balance. Even though he continues to live in the world, he no longer belongs to the world. To be in the world but not of it. A man who’s got the peace that passes any understanding (as Jesus referred to).
In this “seeking” I was very much attracted and intrigued by this ancient dictum “Know Yourself”. Given my law background I have pursued an investigation….
What is this? Does it imply that man does not know itself by default? That man has to do something in this respect? It is an advice, it is imperative, it is optional? How can it be done? Is there a promise at the end of the journey?
Because, you see, the dictum is deceptively simple. It sound firm but it is not forcing, it does not say “Know yourself, or….” It does not show how, does not give a method for those interested, it does not point what’s in it for us, if we engage in this journey.
For me this encapsulated meaning word had a taste of challenge, of ongoing process, of freedom, of promise.
However, what actually put me on the path, the real trigger that forced me to start this journey was pain in the body (for years, without medical reason), discontent and depression. Curiosity is not enough to venture into such a complex and lifelong journey.
I invite you to walk with me.
Not toward a destination. But into yourself.
Because the greatest journey — the only one that really matters — is inward.
