You can save alot of time, and just start with yourself, because that is where you end up anyway. The degrees on the compass signify this, completing the great work of building the new man.

The new man is built by the navigation of Consciousness.

Being born again, sometimes many times over until the mind no longer seeks answers, but knows them.

We get a glimmer of this state, in childhood, except without the wisdom and teacher, experience.
