− | [[Greatness]], and its [[complement]], [[goodness]], are the two humanly understandable pillars of [[Deity]]'s [[nature]] and His eternal oneness [[reality]]. As your [[comprehension]] becomes enlarged, these [[dual]] attributes experientially grow in [[magnitude]] [[simultaneously]] with the growth in their comprehension. [[Goodness]] begins as the comprehension of the [[magnitude]] of deeds. The [[reality]] is later understood that greatness is a measure of [[human]] [[character]] and goodness is the [[motivator]] of the great. Further on, as comprehension evolves, do greatness and goodness become intertwined as [[divine]] character [[traits]] that simultaneously are the [[works]], and also, the motivator or me [[source]] of works. God is great through His good [[works]] and also is good through His great works. | + | [[Greatness]], and its [[complement]], [[goodness]], are the two humanly understandable pillars of [[Deity]]'s [[nature]] and His eternal oneness [[reality]].

| The [[measure]] of a great deed is the extent that it was [[motivated]] by [[goodness]], and good deeds are [[measured]] by the greatness of the [[ideals]] which spawned them. [[Learning]] thus to motivate and [[inspire]] our lives by comprehending [[goodness]] and [[aspiring]] to greatness propels [[humanity]] forward by the increasing awareness of the [[reality]] of these great spiritual [[facts]]. Mercy is the [[inevitable]] son of goodness and greatness. [[Wisdom]] is the inevitable child of these great [[spiritual]] realities, [[goodness]] and [[mercy]]. As you are slowly [[learning]] to experience [[wisdom]], it always shows the way to [[mercy]] and goodness combined as greatness. | | The [[measure]] of a great deed is the extent that it was [[motivated]] by [[goodness]], and good deeds are [[measured]] by the greatness of the [[ideals]] which spawned them.

− | None of that which men [[esteem]] as [[greatness]] contains its [[reality]] except where it is [[merciful]] and [[good]]. Goodness in the human [[experience]] is vastly inferior to its spiritually pure [[source]], so benighted has your [[experience]] become. As the years [[progress]] toward greater civilized [[achievement]], will the men who hold these [[attributes]] aloft shine forth the way for the [[multitudes]]. | + | None of that which men [[esteem]] as [[greatness]] contains its [[reality]] except where it is [[merciful]] and [[good]].

| [[Goodness]] becomes an [[experiential]], spiritual reality by the [[measure]] that it is exalted and held aloft. Always will [[greatness]] be an increasingly lofty [[goal]], the more it is held above. Only by exalting goodness can it be [[tasted]] in this lowly life [[existence]], and the greatness which is esteemed within our [[characters]] increasingly gains [[stature]] as the attainment falls short. [[Paradox]] is [[inherent]] in all of human dealing in the [[divine]] realms. The more of [[Deity]] one [[experiences]], the more understanding of the [[infinite]] nature of these experiencables and the greater the longing for experience. Divine [[water]] surely quenches thirst, but one who has tasted this heavenly [[nectar]] becomes insatiable for more. However much of [[God]] you have experienced, there is still infinitely more. [[Paradox]] is its seeming in the [[human]] [[understanding]], harmonious completion its awareness in the [[divine]] understanding. | | [[Goodness]] becomes an [[experiential]], spiritual reality by the [[measure]] that it is exalted and held aloft.

| [[Goodness]] and [[greatness]] are like having two legs, each one propels the other forward. There is no goodness that isn't fully great, nor is there truly any greatness that isn't good. [[Tools]] are involved within this [[understanding]] to measure the reality [[content]] of every human endeavor. Remember, though, as you seek to understand your place in [[the universe]], that the measurements of [[divinity]] are always judged through thoroughgoing [[mercy]] ministry and that you [[individually]] have not any yardstick with which to measure your true standing, much less that of your [[neighbor]]. So, even as I point the way to a kind of [[judgment]], I [[admonish]] against using it. Simply use these understandings within your [[personal]] sphere of relation to [[Deity]] and as your own standing lifts you above where you were yesterday, [[enjoy]] the cognizance of spiritual [[advancement]] humanly and personally. | | [[Goodness]] and [[greatness]] are like having two legs, each one propels the other forward.
