"To know me, is to see past the mental and into the heart. To love me is to see past the heart and into the soul" ~ anonymous
The whole idea of knowing someone, and being truly known by them is very inviting. For the first time in my life I feel comfortable saying exactly what comes into my head and not worrying about being critiqued, belittled or mocked. That is such a gift!

Can you ever truly know someone? It has been my experience that many people don't even know themselves fully and thus give false information when conveying themselves to you.
I think you can know someone to such an extent that you aren't surprised by anything. Yeah, you can truly know someone. People that don't know themselves are just lying to themselves. You know who and what you are.
I think that you can be truly known to the extent that you allow others past the masks, the walls, the defenses that you build up ove time to avoid getting hurt.
As far as truly knowing someone else, it is to the same extent that they let down the masks, the walls and defenses and are open and vulnerable to you that you can truly know and understand them.
