1:5.10 The [[idea]] of the personality of the Universal Father is an enlarged and truer [[concept]] of [[God]] which has come to mankind chiefly through [[revelation]]. [[Reason]], [[wisdom]], and religious [[experience]] all [[infer]] and imply the personality of God, but they do not altogether [[Proof|validate]] it. Even the indwelling [[Thought Adjuster]] is prepersonal. The truth and [[maturity]] of any [[religion]] is directly proportional to its concept of the infinite personality of God and to its grasp of the [[absolute]] [[unity]] of [[Deity]]. The idea of a [[personal]] Deity becomes, then, the [[measure]] of religious maturity after religion has first formulated the concept of the unity of God.

1:5.11 [[Paper 86 - Early Evolution of Religion|Primitive religion]] had many [[personal]] gods, and they were [[fashion]]ed in the image of [[man]]. [[Revelation]] affirms the validity of the personality concept of God which is merely possible in the [[scientific]] postulate of a First Cause and is only provisionally suggested in the philosophic idea of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_105#105:4._UNITY.2C_DUALITY.2C_AND_TRIUNITY Universal Unity]. Only by personality approach can any person begin to comprehend the [[unity]] of [[God]]. To deny the personality of the First Source and Center leaves one only the choice of two philosophic [[dilemmas]]: [[materialism]] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheism pantheism].

1:5.12 In the contemplation of Deity, the [[concept]] of [[personality]] must be divested of the idea of corporeality. A [[material]] [[body]] is not indispensable to personality in either [[man]] or [[God]]. The corporeality error is shown in both extremes of human [[philosophy]]. In materialism, since man loses his body at [[death]], he ceases to exist as a personality; in pantheism, since God has no body, he is not, therefore, a person. The superhuman type of [[progressing]] personality [[function]]s in a union of [[mind]] and [[spirit]].
