“The true method of knowledge is experiment.”
William Blake
All Religions are One (Primary source)
All Religions are One (1788) is a concise, visionary manifesto by William Blake that argues for the universal unity of all religious and philosophical traditions. Blake asserts that the Poetic Genius—the creative, imaginative, and spiritual essence of humanity—is the true source of all knowledge, art, and religious expression. This Genius is what the ancients called an Angel or Spirit of Prophecy, and it is the same in all people, despite outward differences.
