“ The capacity to stand in relationship to that which is larger than our ego is to be informed and transformed by it. Over the entrance to the Temple of Apollo at Delphi the priests inscribed the admonition, “Know Thyself.” According to an ancient text the entrance to the inner chamber had the collateral inscription, “Thou Art.” These injunctions capture the individual dialectic well. We are to know ourselves more fully and to know ourselves in the context of the larger mystery.
