The sages taught their disciples to look within themselves for truth and not to rely on the teachings of priests, and other religious experts.*
Karen Armstrong

Before we conclude that truth lies within
everyone,
It is important to note that we must first be a
disciple, a padawan –
One submitting and embracing a discipline, a way, a school, an order;
Formal or informal does not matter,
Only that we are seekers of truth in mind, heart, and
body:
Myth has always demanded action.*
