Hi All !
These are just a few proverbs from various Egyptian Temples. I think you will find that this axiom was realized much earlier than any of the three major religions.
• The kingdom of heaven is within you; and whosoever shall know himself shall find it.
• The body is the house of God. That is why it is said, "Man know thyself."
• A man's heart is his own Neter (God).
• Man, know thyself ... and thou shalt know the gods (or God).
Blessings, Fortuna
