Franklin Merrell-Wolff refers to statements made by John Lilly and Carl Jung regarding the importance of belief systems and myth for the psychological health of the individual, and he relates these statements to principles that are fundamental to the yoga of knowledge. He points out that while it may be true that most people ground their religious orientations in belief or myth, the search for Truth involves more than finding a body of belief or a myth that tends to render an individual whole; rather, the search for Truth is an orientation to realizing something that is metaphysically true and certain. He insists that the yoga of knowledge requires the abandonment of belief and myth and seeks only unequivocal Truth and the security that Its Realization affords.
