Often time,when I made a mistake, I do ask myself why the blunder. Soon after, I remember the Greek Ancient philosopher Thales, who asserted that to know oneself although, seems comprehensible but not always an easy task. It remain so, because we often resist the very task to do so. This is simply because it is a learnable skill that required effort and time through which we can get better at it and it is ongoing process of a life time . But the attainment of self-knowledge is but a demonstration of impersonality and if you like humility in a way.

And impersonality is a factor in the practical life with a circle of development and experience of the most varied and often perplexing character.
As it were, impersonality has many level that ranges from the minor detachment exercises to that of the extreme spiritual aloofness that is often time very striking and yet natural. But in whatever level it plays out, there is always in its exercises, something that is exceedingly arresting and influential to those who can afford to witness it in any individual life .

The reason is that the nature of the concept of impersonality of any individual is so unique and so contrary to the ordinary well known law of personal expression, we are so use to in our everyday life. What I think we don’t often realize, is that our fleeting impressions and if you like, the accidental associations, have no fixed counterpart in a ‘real’ and stable world. The real world of phenomenon, often develop its own logic and leave us to yearn for a firm metaphysical anchor that we often find difficult, if not impossible to grasp in our daily life of the what and why questions.

The same is true that anyone who engages in its culture will quickly and mutedly be distinguished from his fellow individual. Because it is a complete departure from the ordinary and everyday common existences. This stern from the fact that, it has its origin from a plane outside of that of everyday observation and thoughts, because it is the very manifestation of which ordinary consciousness almost refuse to sanction. And there is a reason for this and it is simply because it makes us aware of the divinity that overshadows our human consciousness that invite us to our heart surrender to its beneficent.

It must be observed that there is no evidence to suggest that apart from human, there could come what looks like a prepackage with a mechanism of the sort for a meaningful self-appraisal, to ask such question as to -what and why certain situation is taken place, be it personal or collective. The task no doubt, rest in human ability, that allows us to examine and reflect over our actions very closely the very process we come to think, feel and react to everyday occurrences. The process and concept of impersonality tends to upset any preconceived ideas and action as it reject any form of limitation and pride of the intellectual self and falsify the well ground maxim of liberal education.

This is however, one of the reason, so very few individual are disposed and willing to enter seriously upon the culture whose nature has more or less a forbidding aspect. Because often, it tends to oppose so much that which is firmly established and prized in the personal life of every individual. However, it remains a condition and a force of supreme value, like it or not in the evolution of individual consciousness and it is imperatively demanded from everyone that seek to walk on the partway of self-knowledge.
