Quote from Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
The true value of man is not determined by his possession, supposed or real, of Truth, but rather by his sincere exertion to get to the Truth. It is not possession of Truth by which he extends his powers and in which his ever-growing perfectability is to be found. Possession makes one passive, indolent and proud. If God were to hold all Truth concealed in his right hand, and in his left only the steady and diligent drive for Truth, albeit with the proviso that I would always and forever err in the process, and to offer me the choice, I would with all humility take the left hand.

Quote from T.F. Hodge, From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph Over Death and Conscious Encounters with “The Divine Presence”
Deep within, there is something profoundly known, not consciously, but subconsciously. A quiet truth, that is not a version of something, but an original knowing. What this, absolute, truth [identity] is may be none of our businessā¦but it is there, guiding us along the path of greater becoming; a true awareness. It is so self-sustaining that our recognition of it is not required. We are offspringās of such a powerfully divine force ā Creator of all things known and unknown.
Quote from Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
You are a wonderful creation. You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know.

No, our science is no illusion. But an illusion it would be to suppose that what science cannot give us we can get elsewhere.
