That IS the correct title, sir..there are more than one of us..if you had but read
No, it is not correct, if you had but a minimal english education.
"Theirself" is correct or "thyself", depending on your meaning. "Theyself" is a non-existent usage approximating ebonics.
What does it mean to know theyself? Socretese said a wise man knows himself But why do people that say they’ve gain enlightment Still practice self realization techniques? Or do they know but sometimes just forget who they are?
"Know theyself," without knowing who you are, you can't answer any of the broader questions about life...From the Matrix, the Oracle
Sir, I urge you not to get hung up on word spelling.edit on 7-1-2011 by Yummy Freelunch because: (no reason given)
You misspelled "Socrates" as well.
Spelling and proper usage aid in putting your thoughts out. If you appear to be illiterate, most literate people will totally skip anything you have to say, no matter how important it actually is.

I did not misspell it, the person I quoted from did.
And Im sorry sir, but I graduated from MSU with a degree as an English major..I DO know how to spell..THEYSELF has a deeper meaning than you are seeing with your eyes. As I said before, I urge you not to get hung up on this spelling..please..if you skip what it is being said here, I am very sorry since you are so hung up on the spelling of a word. It is sad.edit on 7-1-2011 by Yummy Freelunch because: (no reason given)

Excellent. post Yummyfreelunch!.Thank You....I have known this to be true for me for yrs now...Yrs ago i tried pot several times and could not handle it because every one seemed so fake including myself and it really freaked me out....I always thought i was the odd one,because i could not handle it.After reading this im thinking maybe i wasn't after all.
Working on our inner self is HARD work....I do it and then i have to stop for awhile it can be overwhelming to say the least...But i am back to start again peeling away the layers.I know 2 people who are on this path that's it.This really is the road less traveled at least it seems that way to me.edit on 8-1-2011 by StarLightStarBright2 because: to edit

Thanks for a great read, really rang true for me. I have been doing a lot of soul seraching this past year, and one major thought that i had was that i feel "fake" that i'm not my authentic self, which i believe is a result of a lifetime of seeing to what i WANT to see, not what i NEED to see.
Again thanks for a great read, will watch the video when i get a chance
You are really really on the right track, in my humble opinion! That is exactly how I have felt..fake..and this rings so true to me..lying to myself. The video is very powerful and I have to say..humbled me to the core!
