REMEMBERING


Here’s what I have felt perhaps all my life but had no words to articulate until I was reminded of this.  In the Epistemology, Plato says that  knowledge (how we know things), is innate, we have always known everything that is critical, deep in our souls, and learning is simply an act of remembering.

If nothing else this is the definition of authenticity.  Of living an authentic life.  When we sit still and allow our spirit to remember what we have always known is most important, we are tapping into that innate knowledge. In fact our soul is trying to remind us of that all the time, it’s called instinct, it’s call a gut reaction.  That’s the knowledge that Plato is talking about.  

When we listen to what our instinct is telling us, from who we’re hanging out with to what we’re putting into our bodies, then we are remembering what is innate, we are listening to our soul.  We will always feel right and fulfilled if we remember this.
