The key to true knowledge was to be found not from the deliverances of the senses or the received wisdom of the past, but by turning inward to the resources of the human mind itself:

I shall bring to light the true riches of our souls, opening up to each of us the
means whereby we can find, within ourselves, without any help from anyone
else, all the knowledge we may need for the conduct of life, and the
means of using it in order to acquire all the most abstruse items of knowledge
that human reason is capable of possessing. (AT X 496: CSM II 400[1]
