The founder of The Oneness Movement, Sri Bhagavan declares that Truth which is not one's personal truth is not truth at all.
Beliefs can get shaken' personal discoveries never can. When one reads, one should remind oneself that reading a map is not the same as visiting a place. It is necessary to test various facts out for oneself through a personal explore across platforms of manifest.
Else, we will carry the additional burden of other's perceptions to our own.
The ability to distinguish fact from perception is a quality of enlightenment.
