100:1.4 [[Children]] are permanently impressed only by the [[loyalties]] of their adult [[associates]]; precept or even example is not lastingly [[influential]]. [[Loyal]] persons are [[growing]] [[persons]], and [[growth]] is an impressive and [[inspiring]] [[reality]]. Live loyally today—[[grow]]—and [[tomorrow]] will attend to itself. The quickest way for a tadpole to become a frog is to live loyally each [[moment]] as a tadpole.

100:1.5 The [[soil]] [[essential]] for [[religious]] [[growth]] presupposes a [[progressive]] life of [[self-realization]], the [[co-ordination]] of [[natural]] [[propensities]], the [[exercise]] of [[curiosity]] and the [[enjoyment]] of reasonable [[adventure]], the experiencing of [[feelings]] of [[satisfaction]], the [[functioning]] of the [[fear]] [[stimulus]] of [[attention]] and [[awareness]], the [[wonder]]-lure, and a [[normal]] [[consciousness]] of smallness, [[humility]]. [[Growth]] is also predicated on the [[discovery]] of [[selfhood]] accompanied by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_criticism self-criticism]—[[conscience]], for conscience is really the [[criticism]] of oneself by one's own [[value]]-[[habits]], [[personal]] [[ideals]].

100:1.6 [[Religious]] [[experience]] is markedly [[influenced]] by [[physical]] [[health]], inherited [[temperament]], and [[social]] [[environment]]. But these [[temporal]] conditions do not inhibit inner [[spiritual]] [[progress]] by a [[soul]] [[dedicated]] to the [[doing of the will of the Father]] in [[heaven]]. There are [[present]] in all [[normal]] [[mortals]] certain innate drives toward [[growth]] and [[self-realization]] which [[function]] if they are not specifically inhibited. The certain [[technique]] of fostering this constitutive [[endowment]] of the [[potential]] of [[spiritual]] [[growth]] is to [[maintain]] an [[attitude]] of wholehearted [[devotion]] to [[supreme]] [[values]].

100:1.9 The [[unconscious]] [[nature]] of [[religious]] [[growth]] does not, however, signify that it is an [[activity]] functioning in the supposed [[subconscious]] realms of [[human]] [[intellect]]; rather does it signify [[creative]] activities in the [[superconscious]] [[levels]] of [[mortal]] [[mind]]. The [[experience]] of the [[realization]] of the [[reality]] of [[unconscious]] religious [[growth]] is the one positive [[proof]] of the [[functional]] [[existence]] of the [[superconsciousness]].
