Instead of hoping for, or relying on, a saviour to come who will illuminate the way, the group accepts responsibility for its own truth. Small step by small step, it relies instead on what the people in the group can reveal of this truth. To do this is to suppose that what can be said or brought forth is not already locked into place as part of the mechanisms of their existence, or in their brains, but comes ‘out of the blue’. It is to trust in the capacity of everyone to be as a ‘prophet’ – in their own country. It does not predicate anything about the source of such revelations. Instead of authenticating what is said by reference to a supposed authority or source, the revelation is taken as it comes.
