All evidence of advanced learning and curiosity. The temple is a place of learning- The Long Room in Trinity University in Dublin. Stages: Search for truth– Skeptical expertise and awareness (fall is about realization that not all experts agree, there is no absolute truth)– wisdom and mastery, an understanding of context, achievement of truth that is only experienced, not measured.
