To "Know Thyself" is the basis of philosophical wisdom. When we attain knowledge of self and the reason for our existence, we are truly fulfilled. Contrarily, a lack of this knowledge can cause undue suffering in our lives.
God created each of us as unique individuals. This is proven by both science and Revelation. God wants us to live with Him for eternity, He wills that all be saved. Since we each have been given the dignity to freely choose our own destiny, our individual will must conform with the Father's.
We must find God to find our true selves (or allow God to find us). When this happens we encounter a deep, inner peace.
Note: Even when a man and woman marry, and the two become one flesh, individual identity remains. Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers explains this by the way of the Covenantal Love God has for His people and the Spousal love Christ has for His Church.
