Epistemology is the study of knowledge and its organization. The only really useful epistemological organization of categories of things and events in the environment are those which are directly related to the functioning of your own observation. The structure of the organization of the individual self's knowledge about its environment including itself often functions automatically as a result of being learned by imitation. In order to obtain an understanding of what types of programs are running one's psyche it is necessary to cast the light of observation on the their unconscious operations and determine whether they are useful to growth or not.
Only by introspection and observation can an individual come by ones’ self to an understanding of how one’s internal mechanisms operate. To aid in your effort in the great work of the spiritual evolution of yourself and humanity I am including some questions which any individual should be able to answer. Certain questions which require introspection, that is looking within yourself to find the answers, are indispensable for rendering conscious the attitudes, belief, assumptions, and programs which unconsciously drive behavior.
