195:7.5 The [[realities]] and [[values]] of spiritual [[progress]] are not a " [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection psychologic projection] "—a mere [[glorified]] daydream of the [[material]] [[mind]]. Such [[things]] are the spiritual [[forecasts]] of the [[indwelling Adjuster]], the spirit of [[God]] living in the mind of man. And let not your dabblings with the faintly glimpsed findings of " [[relativity]] " disturb your [[concepts]] of the [[eternity]] and [[infinity]] of [[God]]. And in all your solicitation concerning the [[necessity]] for [[self]]-[[expression]] do not make the mistake of [[failing]] to provide for [[Thought Adjuster|Adjuster]]-[[expression]], the [[manifestation]] of your real and better self.

195:7.6 If this were only a [[material]] [[universe]], [[material]] man would never be able to arrive at the [[concept]] of the [[mechanistic]] [[character]] of such an exclusively material [[existence]]. This very [[mechanistic]] [[concept]] of the [[universe]] is in itself a nonmaterial [[phenomenon]] of [[mind]], and all mind is of nonmaterial origin, no matter how thoroughly it may appear to be materially conditioned and [[mechanistically]] [[controlled]].

195:7.8 The very [[pessimism]] of the most pessimistic [[materialist]] is, in and of itself, sufficient [[proof]] that the universe of the pessimist is not wholly [[material]]. Both [[optimism]] and [[pessimism]] are [[concept]] [[reactions]] in a mind [[conscious]] of [[values]] as well as of [[facts]]. If the [[universe]] were truly what the [[materialist]] regards it to be, man as a [[human]] [[machine]] would then be devoid of all [[conscious]] [[recognition]] of that very [[fact]]. Without the [[consciousness]] of the [[concept]] of [[values]] within the [[spirit]]-[[born]] [[mind]], the [[fact]] of [[universe]] [[materialism]] and the [[mechanistic]] [[phenomena]] of universe operation would be wholly unrecognized by man. One [[machine]] cannot be [[conscious]] of the [[nature]] or [[value]] of another [[machine]].

195:7.9 A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_(philosophy) mechanistic philosophy] of life and the [[universe]] cannot be [[scientific]] because science recognizes and deals only with [[materials]] and [[facts]]. [[Philosophy]] is inevitably superscientific. Man is a material [[fact]] of [[nature]], but his life is a [[phenomenon]] which [[transcends]] the [[material]] [[levels]] of [[nature]] in that it exhibits the [[control]] [[attributes]] of [[mind]] and the [[creative]] [[qualities]] of [[spirit]].

195:7.10 The [[sincere]] [[effort]] of man to become a [[mechanist]] [[represents]] the [[tragic]] [[phenomenon]] of that man's futile effort to commit [[intellectual]] and [[moral]] [[suicide]]. But he cannot do it.

195:7.15 [[Art]] [[proves]] that man is not mechanistic, but it does not prove that he is [[spiritually]] [[immortal]]. Art is [[mortal]] [[morontia]], the intervening field between [[man]], the [[material]], and man, the [[spiritual]]. [[Poetry]] is an [[effort]] to [[escape]] from [[material]] [[realities]] to [[spiritual]] [[values]].

195:7.16 In a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_culture high civilization], art humanizes [[science]], while in turn it is spiritualized by true [[religion]]—[[insight]] into spiritual and eternal [[values]]. [[Art]] [[represents]] the human and [[time-space]] [[evaluation]] of [[reality]]. Religion is the [[divine]] [[embrace]] of [[cosmic]] [[values]] and connotes [[eternal]] [[progression]] in spiritual [[ascension]] and expansion. The art of time is [[dangerous]] only when it becomes blind to the [[spirit]] [[standards]] of the [[divine]] [[patterns]] which eternity [[reflects]] as the [[reality]] [[shadows]] of [[time]]. True art is the [[effective]] [[manipulation]] of the [[material]] [[things]] of life; [[religion]] is the ennobling [[transformation]] of the [[material]] [[facts]] of life, and it never ceases in its [[spiritual]] [[evaluation]] of [[art]].

195:7.17 How [[foolish]] to presume that an [[automaton]] could conceive a [[philosophy]] of automatism, and how ridiculous that it should [[presume]] to form such a [[concept]] of other and fellow automatons!
