132:1.1 It was with Angamon, the [[leader]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoicism Stoics], that [[Jesus]] had an all-night [[Dialogue|talk]] early during his [[sojourn]] in [[Rome]]. This man subsequently became a great [[friend]] of [[Paul, the Apostle|Paul]] and proved to be one of the strong [[support]]ers of the [[Christian]] church at [[Rome]]. In substance, and restated in [[modern]] phraseology, [[Jesus]] taught Angamon:

132:1.2 The [[standard]] of true [[values]] must be looked for in the [[spiritual]] world and on [[divine]] levels of [[eternal]] [[reality]]. To an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE ascending mortal] all lower and [[material]] [[standards]] must be recognized as transient, partial, and inferior. The [[scientist]], as such, is limited to the [[discovery]] of the [[relatedness]] of [[material]] [[facts]]. Technically, he has no right to assert that he is either [[materialist]] or [[idealist]], for in so doing he has assumed to forsake the attitude of a true scientist since any and all such assertions of [[attitude]] are the very [[essence]] of [[philosophy]].

132:1.4 The [[materialistic]] [[scientist]] and the [[extreme]] [[idealist]] are destined always to be at loggerheads. This is not true of those scientists and idealists who are in [[possession]] of a common [[standard]] of high [[moral]] [[values]] and spiritual test levels. In every age scientists and religionists must [[recognize]] that they are on [[trial]] before the bar of human need. They must eschew all [[warfare]] between themselves while they strive valiantly to [[justify]] their continued [[survival]] by enhanced [[devotion]] to the [[service]] of [[human]] [[progress]]. If the so-called [[science]] or [[religion]] of any age is false, then must it either purify its [[activities]] or pass away before the [[emergence]] of a [[material]] [[science]] or spiritual [[religion]] of a truer and more [[worthy]] order.
