We may resort to pure [[revelation]] only when the concept of presentation has had no adequate previous [[expression]] by the human mind.

0:12.11 [[Paper 52 - Planetary Mortal Epochs|Successive planetary revelations]] of [[divine]] [[truth]] invariably [[embrace]] the highest existing concepts of spiritual [[values]] as a part of the new and enhanced co-ordination of [[planetary]] [[knowledge]]. Accordingly, in making these presentations about God and his universe associates, we have selected as the basis of these papers more than [http://www.press.daynal.org/catalog/authors_urantia.html one thousand human concepts] representing the highest and most advanced planetary knowledge of spiritual [[values]] and universe [[meanings]]. Wherein these human concepts, assembled from the God-knowing [[mortals]] of the past and the present, are inadequate to portray the truth as we are directed to reveal it, we will unhesitatingly supplement them, for this [[purpose]] drawing upon our own superior knowledge of the [[reality]] and [[divinity]] of the Paradise Deities and their [[transcendent]] [[Havona|residential universe]].

0:12.12 We are fully cognizant of the [[Challenge|difficulties]] of our assignment; we recognize the impossibility of fully [[translating]] the language of the concepts of divinity and eternity into the [[symbols]] of the [[language]] of the finite [[concepts]] of the [[mortal]] [[mind]]. But we know that there dwells within the human mind a [[fragment of God]], and that there sojourns with the human soul the [[Spirit of Truth]]; and we further know that these spirit forces conspire to enable [[material]] man to grasp the [[reality]] of spiritual values and to comprehend the [[philosophy]] of universe [[meanings]]. But even more certainly we know that these spirits of the [[Divine Presence]] are able to assist man in the spiritual appropriation of all truth contributory to the enhancement of the ever-progressing reality of [[personal]] religious [[experience]]—[[God-consciousness]].
