The Master [[trusted]] God completely so he also trusted his fellow men. He trusted those who would come later to record [[his life]] and he knew that [[inevitably]] doctrine would arise. He himself left no written word, no basis for [[doctrine]] except his life as he lived it. He said, "let your light shine before men". Live your lives in such a way that you will shine a little light so that others may see more [[clearly]].

His teachers, his [[disciples]], taught very simple messages, that all men are the sons of God and all women are his daughters, not subjects of a [[king]], not slavish adherents to a fossilized [[creed]]. No, the words he chose were [[liberated]] sons of the living God. Rejoice, said he, [[celebrate]] this [[knowledge]], do not crawl toward God as a [[servant]] or a [[slave]], but meet his as a son or daughter would greet a loving Father. This was the most revolutionary [[step]] in the long [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_religions history of religion] on this world and still it is incompletely understood because human beings have preferred [[safety]] and [[security]] and [[conformity]] over spiritual [[liberation]].

All the holy [[books]], all the words of the many wise [[teachers]] of yore, these should be [[respected]] but not [[venerated]] to the point of [[worship]]. Words on a page must not substitute for the word in your [[heart]].
