How Can You Know About Yourself?There is a very common misunderstanding that knowing yourself is, basically, knowing what you like or dislike or, what you want or don't want.
Most of the existing “life improvement schools” teach you that in order for you to know yourself you have to make a list that goes something like this:

Even though these techniques may have a positive outcome for whomever really follows them, they will never answer the true, deep and eternal questions of: Who and what am I? - What am I truly doing here? - Where do I come from? - Where am I truly going? - What’s the purpose of life? You can only know about yourself the same way you get to know about anything else. There are only two ways to know anything about something. Either you learn its Structure - meaning its parts, its composition and relation to one another, or you learn about its Function, - its intended use, its ultimate purpose or what it is good for. For example: If you want to learn about automobiles, you'll begin learning about all its components, all the parts that form the automobile. You will learn that an automobile has a motor, a steering wheel, brakes, doors, windows, seats, etc. Once you learn all the parts and their relation to one another, you will Know about automobile, and you will understand what it is used for. You will learn its purpose or function and then, you will be able to use it correctly. When you fully understand structure, you will understand function, and vice versa. All automobiles have basically the same structure and the same function, because those parameters define all what an automobile is supposed to be and do; same with dishwashers. If you see two different structures and two different functions, then you see two different things. You cannot use an automobile for the same purpose of a dishwasher, nor a dishwasher as an automobile. They are two different "things" because they have different structures and functions. A complimentary approach to understand something is to learn about its origin, the original intention - its History - (Past) as well as the modifications or improvements made to it or those that could be done in the future - that is, its intended Evolutionary Path (Future) All automobiles have the same Structure and Function, but they may "present or express" in different color, shape, size, weight, speed, comfort level, etc. It is the same way about yourself… To Know about yourself you have to learn your Structure, meaning your parts, your composition and their interrelation to other parts. Or you can learn about your Function, that is, your purpose, what you, as a human, exist for. You will also need to learn about your History and about your Evolutionary Path. ALL members of the human race have the same Structure, same Function, same History and same intended Evolutionary Path, but since we all "present or express" ourselves in different activities, skin color, body shape, thoughts, behavior, personality, emotions, desires, beliefs, interests, needs, etc. we seem to be very different from one another. But this is not really true. We are all equal. We all have the same structure, function, history and evolutionary path, that's why when you KNOW and understand yourself, you also know and understand all other human beings. You will fully understand yourself by knowing your:
Once you know these things about yourself you will realize that you are able to change and modify in any way you want: your thoughts, your body, your behavior, your personality, your emotions, your desires, your beliefs, your interests, your needs, what you like, what you dislike, Etc., and...
