"Know thyself"

If God is provable to all of humanity, it is ultimately linked or provable from knowledge of the self.
There is various reasons for this. One reason is that "God" is a being we must have a relationship with, and that needs knowledge of the self. It can be said we cannot know anything about this creator even if we know there is a original creator beyond doubt, if there is no link between the human self and God.
There are some features of humanity that in my opinion point to supernatural origin.
1) Our perpetual identity
That is we are the same person no matter how much we change. Thinking deeply about this matter, you will realize, this must be due a soul existing and a creator preserving this soul identity, through time.
2) Our inheritance of actions.
Actions form a part of who we are, and this is more true the more praise and condemnation constitutes of that act. We inherit our actions.
Again a soul and a creator
3) The nature of good and evil, praise and condemnation.
This again requires a supernatural reality if we go beyond defining good and evil as simply beneficial and harmful, but go the root belief that there is light and darkness, that there is a lord of the rings or star wars type reality of good and evil, which seems to be the case.
4) Knowledge of free-will.
Having free-will is one thing, but knowing we are free, says there is something in us that is beyond physical formation, that let's us constantly know we have free-will.
These point to a supernatural origin.
However, what seems to the knowledge of the self, is the knowledge of the purpose and destination of our souls.
This where we come to know there is a link to the divine, our origins are from the light and to the light we return, we point our swords skyward and know there is a wisdom to being rooted here on earth while grow slowly above surface and towards the heavens (higher realms).
It seems we have gnostic mystic knowledge of goodness, to the extent, we know, it's inheritance is linked to higher realms of existence while being rooted to our experience on earth. That it takes higher forms and takes part of us, despite the passing of moment of time, and all this, we know a preserver and that there is a greater truth to who we are, than what we talk mundanely about ourselves or each other.
The preserver is the blessed one in the light/fire, the one by which the tree talks, and by which we are guided, and by which our actions, identity, take root in this world and will manifest in the next.
Whatever sight we have of the truth of ourselves, the sight is obviously borrowed from an objective eternal observer.
This what I believe. Feel free to disagree.
