God is within man - man is within God.
It's a beautiful relationship.
Only if man knows himself first, is it possible for a human to truly be conscious of that power known by man, as God!
Then man can be aware of God on all seven levels of consciousness. This is mans true birthright. Man has become ignorant of this fact!

I translated God as a faith here so that this answer can be universal. It is not possible. You have to start by knowing yourself then you will be able to know God. The journey of finding who you are (really are) will consume the most time of your existence.

I wish that you had elaborated upon your question a bit. Of course, it is possible to know one's self without knowing God, particularly in the case of one's being a nontheist! If, by "knowing one's self", you are indicating the understanding of one's character and motivations, surely we are all capable of such knowledge. If you are referring to Cosmic Mysteries of the sort that cause one to wonder about and consider unanswerable philosophic or mystical questions as to the meaning of life and one's presence in the Universe, the existence or nonexistence of God have no bearing upon those because they are inexplicable regardless of one's belief or affiliation with a religion. We can only know with certaintly that which we can actually perceive with our senses; the remainder of our belief systems are based upon faith and are not provable...

Yes - isn't a person more in touch with who they are when they make the decision to not believe in God and take on responsibility for their own life instead of placing it in the hands of a book which no one can provide an accurate translation of.

I think it's possible to know oneself only when one realizes that gods are fictional. Until then, one has to deal with too many things that make no sense to really understand anything, including oneself.
