Explain to us in your own words the Greek aphorism: “Man, know thyself.”

Answer from the V.M. Samael Aun Weor.

As we work on our Psycho-genesis we will see our individual improvement, thus having access to the profound esoteric knowledge that throughout the course of countless centuries has been there, available to every human being who sincerely longs to find an answer to a number of questions and voids, and that without knowing it, heed the immortal suggestion of the Great Master: Seek and you will find...

In summary, we will say that Psycho-genesis is based on the phrase inscribed in the ancient Temple of Delphi:

"I warn you, whoever you are, oh! you who wish to fathom the arcana of nature, that if you do not find within yourself what you seek, you will not be able to find it outside either. If you ignore the excellences of your own house, will you "How do you intend to find other excellences? The treasure of treasures is hidden in you. Oh man, know yourself and you will know the Universe and the Gods."

Samael Aun Weor. Excerpt from the book: The Revolution of dialectics.

Answer from the Magazine "The Wisdom of the Being".

Greek culture, through time and circumstances, has conquered the surrounding peoples not only in the military part, but also for its art and culture.

One of those manifestations of harmony and art is without a doubt, their architecture, whose greatest contributions were in what for them was the center of their life, which is the worship of their gods.

Starting with the magnificent aphorism: “Man, know thyself”, which according to Pausanias was written on the pronaos of the temple of Apollo in Delphi.
