## Description

This CUSTOM laser engraved wooden sign reads: "Temet Nosce". Temet Nosce is Latin for "Know Thyself". The key to finding a purpose and fulfillment in life begins with knowing and understanding yourself. We are each born with this knowledge but finding a purpose and achieving fulfillment requires the sharing of knowledge, wisdom, and support. Each individual contains specific truths that should be shared with those we meet through nothing less than fate. In the movie The Matrix, “Temet Nosce” hangs on the wall in the Oracle’s kitchen. It's what Neo has to do save his mentor’s life, become the One, and save his own. It’s what you need to do to, if you want to live a life of purpose, and if you want to respond to your life, rather than react. Knowing thyself — it's a pickle, but it's possible. This sign is engraved and stained. There are 2 sawtooth hooks included for hanging ease or sign could be propped on a shelf or easel. Signs are unfinished on the back and measures approx. 22.5" x 5 1/2".

Review: Nice enough...very fast shipping! - Very nice, its a little lighter than the golden oak staining of my existing decor so I could stain it or not... very lightweight and easy to indent wood, but also easy to hang/stand...packing should have been sufficient (air bubbles and heavy wrap cardboard) but I still had a small dent in a flat corner, easy file fix and not noticeable if above door as planned and I know its "handling" related, speaking of which, the shipping was very fast! In attached pic the stain on this door under the sign is more like a dark walnut for comparison.
Review: Made with Love - I absolutely adore it. I can sense the genuine kindness from the Seller(s), and it feels truly special. I will cherish and keep it forever♥️
