Have you ever stopped and tried to revert your thinking to a past form of yourself? I've only just realized that was what I've been doing over and over again. Ironically, while I haven't reverted or changed dramatically, I do think I have come closer to understanding myself at the very least.
I'm not necessarily proposing this as a method of learning about yourself, but it seems to work for me. I try to pause my logic, reset my understanding of truth and then replay my current thoughts. Honestly, it could be going better.
Truth: to say of something what it is when it is
or to say of something that it is not when it is not. (borrowed from Aristotle)
Say for example, the wall is not there but we all believe it is there. Even though our beliefs are screwing with out perceptions of reality, the fact that it is not there, simply means that it is not there.
Truth in essence is that which jives with reality. The problem is that so many of us will never truly see the world from any perspective but our own. We will all each always have our own personal bias. So we must do the best we can.
