Changes

The universe fact of God's becoming man has forever changed all meanings and altered all values of human personality. In the true meaning of the word, love connotes mutual regard of whole personalities, whether human or [[divine]] or human and divine. Parts of the self may function in numerous ways—thinking, feeling, wishing—but only the co-ordinated attributes of the whole personality are focused in intelligent action; and all of these powers are associated with the spiritual endowment of the mortal [[mind]] when a human being sincerely and unselfishly loves another being, human or divine.

All mortal concepts of reality are based on the assumption of the actuality of human personality; all concepts of [[superhuman]] realities are based on the experience of the human personality with and in the cosmic realities of certain associated [[spiritual]] entities and divine personalities. '''Everything nonspiritual in human experience, excepting personality, is a means to an end. Every true relationship of mortal man with other persons—human or divine—is an end in itself. And such fellowship with the personality of Deity is the eternal goal of universe ascension.'''

The possession of personality identifies man as a spiritual being since the unity of selfhood and the self-consciousness of personality are endowments of the supermaterial world. The very fact that a mortal [[materialist]] can deny the existence of supermaterial realities in and of itself demonstrates the [[presence]], and indicates the working, of [[spirit]] [[synthesis]] and [[cosmic consciousness]] in his human mind.
