Just this can already be somewhat liberating regarding the internal and external baggage we carry, as it limits our true potential. But it&#8217;s about self-activity, to thus be &#8216;autognost&#8217;: self-knower. The approach is: live according to what we know and what we discover time and time again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"5i4ah-0-0\">There are now many books from which we can draw knowledge, which sometimes point in the right direction, but many books describe only the &#8216;what&#8217; and not the &#8216;how&#8217;. This way you get the feeling that mainly &#8216;beautiful stories&#8217; are told, beautiful horizons are shown, which stimulate for a while but do not persist. This makes sense because reading wise words is one thing, and living and acting accordingly is another. The latter is liberating, the former is not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"5i4ah-0-0\"><strong>Selfnowledge <span data-offset-key=\"5i4ah-0-0\">Now <\/span><\/strong><span data-offset-key=\"5i4ah-0-0\"><em>(Zelfkennis Nu) <\/em><\/span>is for those who feel that the real life coach is within us. For those who don&#8217;t want to depend on others&#8217; appreciation and who want to appreciate themselves on proper grounds. For those who no longer want to shop for wisdom everywhere, but who want to learn to trust that inner wisdom is always at hand within us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"5i4ah-0-0\">We can fully rely on our own inner wisdom when we shed and leave behind what does not make us wise and keeps us unconscious. To achieve this, we must learn to observe ourselves through self-reflection. Without self-remembrance through self-reflection, we will not experience inner freedom, and true self-knowledge will remain out of reach. Practicing self-remembrance &#8211; and everything that arises from it &#8211; in all our actions (and thereby realizing, making it true) often feels unfamiliar because of our many conditionings. But it becomes very delightful at the moments when we transcend and leave behind these assumed limitations. Then we feel that the state of sustainable happiness is within our reach. Happiness for ourselves that others can fully enjoy!<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"5i4ah-0-0\">Michiel Koperdraat<span style=\"color: #ffff99;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zelfkennis.nu\/en\/read-me\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Enter and become autognost!<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffff99;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/certified.websitevhjaar.nl\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-133521\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zelfkennis.nu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/certified2025-1-300x291.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"152\" height=\"148\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-116181 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zelfkennis.nu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/logo-zelfkennis-nu-vernieuwd-puntkleur-compressed.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zelfkennis.nu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/logo-zelfkennis-nu-vernieuwd-puntkleur-compressed.png 770w, https:\/\/www.zelfkennis.nu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/logo-zelfkennis-nu-vernieuwd-puntkleur-compressed-300x30.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zelfkennis.nu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/logo-zelfkennis-nu-vernieuwd-puntkleur-compressed-768x78.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=&#8221;Code ZELFKENNIS&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ){<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->\/\/ Get page title<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->var pageTitle = $(\"title\").text();<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->\/\/ Change page title on tab switch<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->$(window).blur(function() {<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->$(\"title\").text(\"SELFKNOWLEDGE !\");<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->\/\/ Make normal title come back again<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->$(window).focus(function() {<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->$(\"title\").text(pageTitle);<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/script>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Become your own life coach, discover your own wisdom, and achieve inner freedom.
