As a mentor he would instruct us to do our best and do no harm.
Epictetus taught his students the fundamentals which are understood through the best physics of the day.
Today there is a better understanding of cosmology, quantum theory and consciousness theory.
As to how this applies to self knowledge there is more areas to apply this understanding today.

Good people are helpful.
