Clarity is not the absence of confusion. Clarity is the understanding of confusion.

A Symptom of Failing Health: I Know Myself
Unity Consciousness #289
Unity Consciousness #289
.To stop learning is to cut off the breath of life from part of my being. It also lessens the force of the connected nourishing flow of life to all other parts of my being.
When I say “I know myself,” I am displaying a symptom of failing health.
When I say, “I know myself” as if to say I have completed all understanding about self or I know enough about the most important parts about myself, I am suffering from failing health.
Knowing myself must be ongoing, even beyond the grave.
Even if I have grown to know myself better than I did previously, if I stop learning, then those understandings I have acquired will move towards becoming surface understandings because I have become stagnated and motionless in growth.
Knowing self is a starting point for understanding all else. Until I understand all else, I do not know myself.
Knowledge begets knowledge and invites knowledge. Knowledge does not stop knowledge. Knowledge is not an end, it is a means. Knowledge is a means to stay in rhythm with an ongoing eternity. If I stop the process of knowing myself, I will suffer from failing health and cut myself off from eternity.
