6:6.1 The Eternal Son is [[spirit]] and has [[mind]], but not a mind or a spirit which [[mortal]] mind can [[comprehend]]. Mortal man [[perceives]] mind on the [[finite]], [[cosmic]], [[material]], and [[personal]] levels. Man also observes mind [[phenomena]] in living [[organisms]] [[function]]ing on the subpersonal ([[animal]]) level, but it is [[difficult]] for him to grasp the nature of mind when [[associated]] with supermaterial beings and as a part of exclusive [[spirit]] [[personalities]]. Mind must, however, be differently defined when it refers to the spirit level of [[existence]], and when it is used to denote spirit functions of [[intelligence]]. That kind of mind which is directly allied with [[spirit]] is comparable neither to that mind which [[co-ordinates]] [[spirit]] and [[matter]] nor to that mind which is allied only with [[matter]].

6:6.2 Spirit is ever conscious, minded, and possessed of varied [[phases]] of [[identity]]. Without mind in some phase there would be no spiritual [[consciousness]] in the [[Brotherhood|fraternity]] of spirit beings. The equivalent of [[mind]], the ability to know and be known, is indigenous to [[Deity]]. Deity may be personal, prepersonal, superpersonal, or impersonal, but Deity is never mindless, that is, never without the ability at least to [[communicate]] with similar [[entities]], [[beings]], or [[personalities]].

6:6.3 The mind of the Eternal Son is like that of [[the Father]] but unlike any other mind in the [[Master Universe|universe]], and with the mind of the Father it is ancestor to the [[diverse]] and far-flung minds of the [[Conjoint Actor|Conjoint Creator]]. The mind of the Father and the Son, that [[intellect]] which is ancestral to the [[absolute]] mind of the [[Third Source and Center]], is perhaps best [[illustrated]] in the premind of a [[Thought Adjuster]], for, though these Father [[Fraction|fragments]] are entirely outside of the mind [[circuits]] of the Conjoint Actor, they have some form of premind; they know as they are known; they enjoy the equivalent of [[human]] [[thinking]].

6:6.4 The Eternal Son is wholly [[spiritual]]; man is very nearly entirely [[material]]; therefore much pertaining to the spirit personality of the Eternal Son, to his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:3._THE_SACRED_WORLDS_OF_THE_ETERNAL_SON seven spiritual spheres] encircling [[Paradise]] and to the nature of the impersonal creations of the Paradise Son, will have to await your [[attainment]] of [[spirit]] [[status]] following your completion of the [[morontia]] [[ascension]] of the local universe of [[Nebadon]]. And then, as you pass through the [[superuniverse]] and on to [[Havona]], many of these spirit-concealed [[mysteries]] will [[clarify]] as you begin to be endowed with the "mind of the spirit"—[[spiritual]] [[insight]].
