2:7.5 [[Philosophers]] commit their gravest [[error]] when they are misled into the [[Illusion|fallacy]] of abstraction, the [[practice]] of [[focusing]] the [[attention]] upon one [[Fraction|aspect]] of [[reality]] and then of pronouncing such an isolated aspect to be the whole truth. The wise philosopher will always look for the [[creative]] [[design]] which is behind, and pre-existent to, all universe [[phenomena]]. The [[creator]] thought invariably precedes [[creative]] [[action]].

2:7.6 [[Intellectual]] self-consciousness can [[discover]] the [[beauty]] of [[truth]], its [[spiritual]] [[quality]], not only by the philosophic consistency of its [[concepts]], but more certainly and surely by the unerring [[response]] of the ever-present [[Spirit of Truth]]. [[Happiness]] ensues from the recognition of [[truth]] because it can be acted out; it can be lived. Disappointment and sorrow attend upon error because, not being a reality, it cannot be [[realized]] in experience. Divine truth is best known by its spiritual [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Smell.2C_Taste.2C_and_Touch flavor].

2:7.7 The eternal quest is for [[Integration|unification]], for divine coherence. The far-flung [[Multiverse|physical universe]] coheres in the [[Isle of Paradise]]; the [[intellectual]] universe coheres in the God of mind, the [[Conjoint Actor]]; the [[spiritual]] universe is coherent in the personality of the [[Eternal Son]]. But the isolated mortal of [[time and space]] coheres in God [[the Father]] through the direct [[relationship]] between the indwelling [[Thought Adjuster]] and the Universal Father. Man's Adjuster is a [[fragment]] of God and everlastingly seeks for divine unification; it coheres with, and in, the [[Paradise]] [[Deity]] of the [[First Source and Center]].

2:7.11 All [[truth]]—[[material]], [[philosophic]], or [[spiritual]]—is both [[beautiful]] and [[good]]. All real beauty—material art or spiritual [[symmetry]]—is both true and good. All genuine [[goodness]]—whether personal morality, social equity, or divine ministry—is equally true and beautiful. [[Health]], sanity, and [[happiness]] are integrations of truth, beauty, and goodness as they are blended in human [[experience]]. Such levels of efficient living come about through the unification of [[energy]] [[systems]], [[idea]] systems, and [[spirit]] systems.

2:7.12 Truth is coherent, beauty attractive, goodness stabilizing. And when these [[values]] of that which is real are co-ordinated in [[personality]] experience, the result is a high order of love conditioned by [[wisdom]] and qualified by [[loyalty]]. The real [[purpose]] of all universe [[education]] is to effect the better co-ordination of the isolated child of the worlds with the larger realities of his expanding experience. [[Reality]] is finite on the human level, infinite and eternal on the higher and [[divine]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_106 levels].
