| The [[human mind]] consists of three parts: that which is responsive to the [[signals]] of the [[body]], the awareness of the [[senses]], and this mind is directly connected to the next level of mind which is [[morontial]] or a blending of the material senses and the higher level of [[meaning]]. It is the mind which makes sense of all the [[information]] coming in, it is the mind which assigns meaning to [[perception]]. Above this mind is still another level of mind which is spiritual or quasi-spiritual. It is that level which [[perceives]] [[God]] at all times. When the senses perceive [[beauty]], all three of those levels are [[functioning]]. When you perceive [[goodness]], all three levels are functioning. When you respond to [[truth]], in other words when [[facts]] that are perceived by the senses are organized with [[value]] and then enhanced with truth, all three levels are functioning. | | The [[human mind]] consists of three parts: that which is responsive to the [[signals]] of the [[body]], the awareness of the [[senses]], and this mind is directly connected to the next level of mind which is [[morontial]] or a blending of the material senses and the higher level of [[meaning]].

| The [[conscious]] level is like your [[home]] base. You can move above it into the [[superconscious]] realm of pure spiritual [[communion]] or below it into the realm of animal [[fear]]. This home base continues [[gradually]] to rise throughout your lifetime search for [[God]]. Increasingly does [[the mind]] grow through [[spirit]] identification so that this base expands as it rises into each new level. | | The [[conscious]] level is like your [[home]] base.
