Recognition is the [[intellectual]] process of fitting the sensory impressions received from the external world into the [[memory]] patterns of the [[individual]]. Understanding connotes that these recognized sensory impressions and their associated memory patterns have become integrated or organized into a dynamic network of principles.

[[Meaning]]s are derived from a combination of recognition and understanding. Meanings are nonexistent in a wholly sensory or [[material]] world. Meanings and [[values]] are only perceived in the inner or supermaterial spheres of [[human]] experience.

The inner and the outer worlds have a different set of values. Any civilization is in jeopardy when three quarters of its youth enter materialistic professions and devote themselves to the pursuit of the sensory activities of the outer world. Civilization is in danger when youth neglect to interest themselves in [[ethics]], [[sociology]], [[philosophy]], [[The Arts|the fine arts]], [[religion]], and [[cosmology]].

Only in the higher levels of the [[superconscious]] [[mind]] as it impinges upon the [[spirit]] realm of human experience can you find those higher concepts in association with effective master patterns which will contribute to the building of a better and more enduring civilization. [[Personality]] is inherently creative, but it thus functions only in the '''inner life''' of the [[individual]].

Snow crystals are always hexagonal in form, but no two are ever alike. Children conform to types, but no two are exactly alike, even in the case of twins. Personality follows types but is always [[unique]].

Happiness and joy take origin in the inner life. You cannot experience real joy all by yourself. A [[solitary]] life is fatal to happiness. Even families and nations will enjoy life more if they share it with others.

You cannot completely control the external world--[[environment]]. It is the creativity of the inner world that is most subject to your direction because there your personality is so largely liberated from the fetters of the laws of antecedent [[causation]]. There is associated with personality a limited sovereignty of [[will]].

It is the creativity of the inner world that is most subject to your direction because there your personality is so largely liberated from the fetters of the laws of antecedent [[causation]]. There is associated with personality a limited sovereignty of [[free will|will]].

Since this inner life of man is truly creative, there rests upon each person the responsibility of choosing as to whether this [[creativity]] shall be spontaneous and wholly haphazard or controlled, directed, and constructive. How can a creative [[imagination]] produce worthy children when the stage whereon it functions is already preoccupied by prejudice, hate, fears, resentments, revenge, and bigotries?

Inner creativity contributes to ennoblement of character through personality integration and [[selfhood]] unification. It is forever true: The past is unchangeable; only the future can be changed by the ministry of the present creativity of the inner self.
