101:10.1 [[Intelligent]] man knows that he is a [[child]] of [[nature]], a part of the [[material]] [[universe]]; he likewise [[discerns]] no [[survival]] of [[individual]] [[personality]] in the [[motions]] and [[tensions]] of the [[mathematical]] level of the [[energy]] [[universe]]. Nor can man ever [[discern]] [[spiritual]] [[reality]] through the [[examination]] of [[physical]] [[causes]] and [[effects]].

101:10.2 A [[human being]] is also [[aware]] that he is a [[part]] of the [[ideational]] [[cosmos]], but though [[concept]] may [[endure]] beyond a [[mortal]] life span, there is nothing [[inherent]] in [[concept]] which indicates the [[personal]] [[survival]] of the conceiving [[personality]]. Nor will the [[exhaustion]] of the [[possibilities]] of [[logic]] and [[reason]] ever [[reveal]] to the logician or to the reasoner the [[eternal]] [[truth]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_112 survival of personality].

101:10.3 The [[material]] level of [[law]] provides for [[causality]] [[continuity]], the unending [[response]] of [[effect]] to antecedent [[action]]; the [[mind]] level suggests the perpetuation of ideational [[continuity]], the unceasing [[flow]] of [[conceptual]] [[potentiality]] from pre-existent conceptions. But neither of these [[levels]] of the [[universe]] discloses to the [[inquiring]] [[mortal]] an avenue of [[escape]] from [[partiality]] of [[status]] and from the intolerable [[suspense]] of being a [[transient]] [[reality]] in the [[universe]], a [[temporal]] [[personality]] [[doomed]] to be [[extinguished]] upon the [[exhaustion]] of the limited life [[energies]].

101:10.8 When you [[experience]] such a [[transformation]] of [[faith]], you are no longer a [[slavish]] part of the [[mathematical]] [[cosmos]] but rather a liberated [[volitional]] son of the [[Universal Father]]. No longer is such a [[liberated]] son fighting alone against the inexorable [[doom]] of the termination of [[temporal]] [[existence]]; no longer does he combat all [[nature]], with the odds hopelessly against him; no longer is he staggered by the paralyzing [[fear]] that, perchance, he has put his [[trust]] in a hopeless phantasm or pinned his [[faith]] to a fanciful [[error]].

101:10.9 Now, rather, are the sons of God enlisted [[together]] in fighting the battle of [[reality]]'s triumph over the partial [[shadows]] of [[existence]]. At last all [[creatures]] become [[conscious]] of the [[fact]] that [[God]] and all the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25 divine hosts] of a well-nigh limitless [[universe]] are on their side in the [[supernal]] struggle to [[attain]] [[eternity]] of life and [[divinity]] of [[status]]. Such [[faith]]-[[liberated]] sons have certainly enlisted in the [[struggles]] of time on the side of the [[supreme]] forces and [[divine]] [[personalities]] of [[eternity]]; even the [[stars]] in their [[courses]] are now doing battle for them; at last they gaze upon the [[universe]] from within, from [[God]]'s [[viewpoint]], and all is [[transformed]] from the uncertainties of [[material]] [[isolation]] to the sureties of eternal [[spiritual]] [[progression]]. Even [[time]] itself becomes but the [[shadow]] of [[eternity]] cast by [[Paradise]] [[realities]] upon the moving panoply of [[space]].
