7. Self-Knowledge as the Basis of Pure Existence

7. I remember them sincerely who sustain
         self-knowledge as the basis of pure existence.

Self-knowledge is the primordial condition. In these commentaries, I have laid out two forms of self-knowledge. One is the self-existent knowledge of galactic beings. They exist alone within themselves and know what they are in a way conscious beings cannot know. From them arise universes upon universes of life, which ultimately generate consciousness. The self-knowledge of galactic beings is the primordial imprint upon all that arises out of its ongoing self-exploration.

The second form of self-knowledge arises within conscious beings. Human self-realization is the cognition that all aspects of one’s experience are expressions of the Self, which is what it is by virtue of the galactic being out of which we have become manifest. Knowledge of the Self is available only in the human form. We honor galactic beings for providing their self-existence as a matrix suitable for human Self-realization.
