| The Divine Presence in Human Experience | ||
| Experiential Phenomena | ||
| 1. | God-consciousness | The intellectual capacity for knowing God |
| 2. | God-seeking | The spiritual urge to find God |
| 3. | The wholehearted desire to do the Father's will |
The personality craving to be like God |
|
"The existence of God can never be proved by scientific experiment or by the pure reason of logical deduction. God can be realized only in the realms of human experience; nevertheless, the true concept of the reality of God is reasonable to logic, plausible to philosophy, essential to religion, and indispensable to any hope of personality survival." |

| The Three Levels of Time Cognizance | |
| Level | |
| 1. | Mind-perceived time -- consciousness of sequence, motion, and a sense of duration. |
| 2. | Spirit-perceived time -- insight into motion Godward and the awareness of the motion of ascent to levels of increasing divinity. |
| 3. | Personality creates a unique time sense out of insight into Reality plus a consciousness of presence and an awareness of duration. |
|
"Unspiritual animals know only the past and live in the present. Spirit-indwelt man has powers of prevision (insight); he may visualize the future." |

| Three Functioning Levels of Finite Reality | ||
| Level | Nature | |
| 1. | Matter | Organized energy which is subject to linear gravity except as it is modified by motion and conditioned by mind. |
| 2. | Mind | Organized consciousness which is not wholly subject to material gravity, and which becomes truly liberated when modified by spirit. |
| 3. | Spirit | The highest personal reality. True spirit is not subject to physical gravity but eventually becomes the motivating influence of all evolving energy systems of personality dignity. |

| 5. | Glorified Material Sons |

|
"These six groups of glorified beings compose this unique body of eternal destiny. We think we know their future work, but we are not certain. While the Corps of the Mortal Finality is mobilizing on Paradise, and while they now so extensively minister to the universes of space and administer the worlds settled in light and life, their future destination must be the now-organizing universes of outer space. At least that is the conjecture of Uversa." |
