- Meaning as a relationship between ontology and truth
- Meaning as a reference or equivalence
- Meaning as values, a value system or as derived from value theory
Cosmic force responds to mind even as cosmic mind responds to spirit. Spirit is divine purpose, and spirit mind is divine purpose in action. Energy is thing, mind is meaning, spirit is value. Even in time and space, mind establishes those relative relationships between energy and spirit which are suggestive of mutual kinship in eternity.[2]
