But perhaps the most important contribution to self-knowledge, and the one which can do most toward freeing you of anxiety, is that as you practice concentration and relaxation exercises, as your thoughts learn to flow where you direct them, you will gain a deep awareness of who you are. Without becoming either detached or indifferent, you will nevertheless learn to detach yourself from your surroundings enough to no longer feel constantly and closely identified with everything that happens around you. You will be able to do this for the simple reason that you will no longer have the same need to lean. You will have found strength within yourself to be yourself. You will be able to meet the world on your own terms, on a basis of maturity and independence. And that, above all, means getting the very best out of yourself.
