The Mind Idea, the Soul Ideal, and the Spirit Reality

Thou children who have garnered the eye of their faith and the purifications of the heart...

The aim of all thine lifetimes is to achieve that indescribable unification with the Father's Life Adjuster Spirit. This Second Birth brings about immortal changes and everlasting refinements to the individual personhood which secure an existence within God's Sovereignty.

The pursuit of the ideal — the striving to be Godlike — is a continuous effort before death and after. The life after death is no different in the essentials than the mortal existence. Everything we do in this life which is good contributes directly to the enhancement of the future life.

Real religion does not foster moral indolence and spiritual laziness by encouraging the vain hope of having all the virtues of a noble character bestowed upon one as a result of passing through the portals of natural death.

True religion does not belittle man’s efforts to progress during the mortal lease on life. Every mortal gain is a direct contribution to the enrichment of the first stages of the immortal survival experience.

Mortal man secures three great satisfactions from religious experience, even in the days of his temporal sojourn on earth:

1. Intellectually he acquires the satisfactions of a more unified human consciousness.

2. Philosophically he enjoys the substantiation of his ideals of moral values.

3. Spiritually he thrives in the experience of divine companionship, in the spiritual satisfactions of true worship.

God-consciousness, as it is experienced by an evolving mortal of the realms, must consist of three varying factors, three differential levels of reality realization.

There is first the mind consciousness — the comprehension of the idea of God.

Then follows the soul consciousness — the realization of the ideal of God.

Last, dawns the spirit consciousness — the realization of the spirit reality of God. By the unification of these factors of the divine realization, no matter how incomplete, the mortal personality at all times overspreads all conscious levels with a realization of the personality of God.

In those mortals who have attained the Corps of the Finality all this will in time lead to the realization of the supremacy of God and may subsequently eventuate in the realization of the ultimacy of God, some phase of the absonite superconsciousness of the Paradise Father.
