Know Thyself: Jnana Yoga – Part 1

Unveil the Mysteries of Human Nature & Divine Wisdom with Know Thyself: Jnana Yoga (Part 1)

What does it truly mean to “know yourself”? Most people believe self-knowledge means listing their personal habits, strengths, and flaws. But in “Know Thyself” (Jnana Yoga, Part 1), Western spiritual teacher Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov presents a far deeper perspective drawn from the traditions of Initiatic Science.

Self-knowledge is not merely psychological—it is a cosmic understanding of the multi-dimensional structure of the human being. Omraam guides the reader step-by-step through the interplay between our lower nature (the personality) and our higher nature (the divine individuality), showing how to nourish each plane of our existence.

Through practical insights on beauty, destiny, thought power, and spiritual discipline, this volume offers a roadmap for anyone looking to master their inner life and unify their mind, heart, and spirit.
