101:1.4 [[Religion]] lives and prospers, then, not by [[sight]] and [[feeling]], but rather by [[faith]] and [[insight]]. It consists not in the [[discovery]] of new [[facts]] or in the finding of a [[unique]] [[experience]], but rather in the [[discovery]] of new and [[spiritual]] [[meanings]] in [[facts]] already well known to [[mankind]]. The highest [[religious]] [[experience]] is not dependent on prior [[acts]] of [[belief]], [[tradition]], and [[authority]]; neither is [[religion]] the [[offspring]] of [[sublime]] [[feelings]] and purely [[mystical]] [[emotions]]. It is, rather, a [[profoundly]] deep and [[actual]] [[experience]] of [[spiritual]] [[communion]] with the spirit [[influences]] resident within the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mind-2001-03-08 human mind], and as far as such an [[experience]] is definable in terms of [[psychology]], it is simply the [[experience]] of experiencing the [[reality]] of believing in [[God]] as the [[reality]] of such a [[purely]] [[personal]] [[experience]].

101:1.5 While [[religion]] is not the [[product]] of the [[rationalistic]] [[speculations]] of a [[material cosmology]], it is, nonetheless, the [[creation]] of a wholly [[rational]] [[insight]] which originates in man's [[mind]]-[[experience]]. [[Religion]] is born neither of [[mystic]] [[meditations]] nor of [[isolated]] [[contemplation]]s, albeit it is ever more or less [[mysterious]] and always indefinable and inexplicable in terms of [[purely]] [[intellectual]] [[reason]] and [[philosophic]] [[logic]]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_cell germs] of true [[religion]] [[originate]] in the [[domain]] of man's [[moral]] [[consciousness]], and they are [[revealed]] in the [[growth]] of man's [[spiritual]] [[insight]], that [[faculty]] of [[human]] [[personality]] which accrues as a [[consequence]] of the [[presence]] of the [[God]]-revealing [[Thought Adjuster]] in the [[God]]-[[hungry]] [[mortal mind]].

101:1.6 [[Faith]] [[unites]] [[moral]] [[insight]] with conscientious [[discrimination]]s of [[values]], and the pre-existent evolutionary sense of [[duty]] completes the [[ancestry]] of true [[religion]]. The [[experience]] of [[religion]] [[eventually]] results in the certain [[consciousness]] of [[God]] and in the undoubted [[assurance]] of the [[survival]] of the believing [[personality]].
