I and ‘Nosce te Ipsum!’ - How I did it - “My road!”
Written 09/28/2006
I did ‘Nosce te Ipsum’ - ‘Know Absolutely Thyself!’ either by accident or then it had something to do with the Guidance from Up. I believe the latter.
This Guidance or that I was doing something that was decided by the Higher Mighty game certain to me after I heard the Voice in January 1987. I had been complaining in my mind about the work I was doing. I didn’t want to do it any more and I thought that I was doing it because I was put to do it. I was falling into the sleep and the Voice said it: “You have been told it all in November!”
So if there has been Guidance in my life, it has been to explain it ALL. If so when it started?
1. Perhaps it started with the reading and writing. At some time I became an addict for the books. I was reading our books and the books of all the libraries we were living. The last book I was reading was Siddharta by Herman Hesse. I said it aloud after that book, that it now is finished. In a way it was true. I was not reading the book to get something serious. It has been after that only because of the passing of the time. Now I also see, that it may have been the time for writing to start.
2. I was so bad in writing at school when I was at the three highest forms of secondary school that I had to study also in one summer. In Finland it is very unusual.
But if I was in some kind of Guidance I had to learn to write. So to me now the reading served for the writing I had to do.
It is also true, that I didn’t pass the collage or the university, because of the writing. I didn’t do the last writing.
3. The skills with the languages: What I have been doing in the 80’s and 90’s has had everything to do with reading English. Only one book that has had some meaning has been in Finnish and also that was translated from English. So I has stayed in the starting blocks without English skills. And the funny thing was that at school I was worse than bad in languages - Swedish, Germany and Finnish . How an earth did I get so good skill in English, that I was reading paper bags already after one year of English teachings. It was not because of the school but because I wanted it and because of my method of reading the books.
For to my road is very important that I didn’t complete any normal steps in my life - none in the university, none when I was the teacher of economics at the school of commerce in Savonlinna. I gave to myself a new name - “I am not enough, BUT...”
- At school I was bad, but --- I made remarkable marks in history and in English and got myself in to the university.
- At university I was bad, but I got good grades in international politics and made all the book examinations. Only I couldn’t write, but I got myself to the teaching job.
- I didn’t become into a teacher, because I had no degree, no working documents, no formal education to become the teacher, but --- but I was damn good teacher of marketing psychology.
- The conclusion: I was bad, but --- there was something very, very excellent so I kept on going and I didn’t kill myself.
- The only thing I have completed is ‘Know Absolutely Yourself!’ Let’s go back to the Program, what would have happened, if I would have reached one of those goals as a normal person. The Road had stopped. It doesn’t mean that you have to stop. It means, that if you are unsatisfied for you life, keep on looking. The goal is there.
My goal was to find something, that would be ENOUG, the END - no movement after this spot.
So we have come on the ‘carrier of the EXPLAINER’ to the years before the first large work in the year 1985. The explainer starts to change.
I started to do some exercises of meditation. It was a question of relaxation before the sleep. Some of it happened before 1985 and some after it. One could say, that it was the question of tuning the the machinery into the working order.
I went to walk or to ski on the ice of the lake. After certain mileage there started to be two person’s, one was thinking and one was watching.

At this time I was also reading much because of my work as a commercial teacher to get material for the teaching. My problem area was the tourism. I didn’t get why a tourist is happy or satisfied after the trip. Why is he or she saying, that ‘the trip was darn good’. In a way I could now say, that if a person cannot answer to this question, he cannot teach properly the tourism.
Two questions came together already at the end of 1970’s and at the beginning of 1980’s.
a. Why I cannot be happy or satisfied to my life? and
b. Why the tourist is satisfied to the product he has bought - the good quality and the good service?
The answer to these questions I got not until in the year 1996 and it solved it ALL. You can look more details from my home page www.lifeinlife.org .
The core theme on my road was:”Why the human being is behaving the it is?” So the main thing in the satisfaction of the human being and of me is in the feeling ‘I am good’ the question is about the behaviour of the human being.
Who to reach the answer? You have to know the behaviour of the human being. There is a common thought, that the behaviour of the human beings is different. One is looking for the good feeling with money, one with the knowledge and one with the skill. So how I, a different kind of a person can find the answer to the question of satisfaction of different people?
If the people are different according the behaviour, then there are millions and millions answers. How did it go with me, when I was looking for the answer to these questions?
The first big Perception was in the year 1985. At that time I couldn’t explain it all, but I had a feeling, that all the people are the same according the behaviour. They are the same from the core and that makes they behaviour relatively the same. I think this Perception is the key to Everything and also you should make it in the start of your road.
Why is it so? If the behaviour of every human being is the same, then knowing one you know them all. And the one you can and should know is yourself. Then knowing yourself you know all the behaviour of the human beings.
All the knowledge the human beings are gathering goes through me and been reflected through me - it is behaviour - why we want to do it, what we do with it. Me it the core that wants to know and when we know more, we are better, we feel ourselves better.
Because of this when you ‘Know Thyself’ you get All the Knowledge, you know Everything. You remember the voice I heard in December 1987 - ‘You have been told it all in November!’
I think this is the goal you are reaching, when you are on the road to Know Absolutely Yourself. I didn’t understand what it meant 1987 and long time after that, but I sow it in my life and in my work. I didn’t go wrong far. I was like guided through all the bit falls. The same is with the new things you go through, you kind of know them already. You had the knowledge.
What happens when you Know Thyself is like the voice tells. It is not a long story. It happens in a blink of an eye and it includes it ALL. So happens because the key thing is the human behaviour, all the people are behaving nearly the same way or lets say the same way. That is the first condition, if we thing that the Knowing Thyself happen the way I told you.
The second condition is, that the behaviour is the same, because something in the human beings ‘paint’ all the behaviour with the same ‘shade’. It makes its mark to all the behaviour.
This second condition makes it possible, that the story behind the behaviour can be told in a blink of an eye and it includes it ALL.
When you know the factory, your know all the products.
The ‘paint’ or the ‘shade’ to all the behaviour of human being come from this words - “no ones me is enough for the person” - meaning ‘nothing is enough’.
The key thing for this is that it is not in the heritage but it is because we all have a certain common surrounding from were we all get it. Look for more from home page.
When you have courage enough to look for your me or yourself the me dies and you see it All for the first time as it is and has always been.
This is what I have been going thought on my journey
If this is interesting, you can see it all on my home page, if you can Finnish otherwise you have to be content with less.
You can always write to me and I can put some more text to the pages and also answer you directly. reunanen@saunalahti.fi
