132:1.2 The [[standard]] of true [[values]] must be looked for in the [[spiritual]] world and on [[divine]] levels of [[eternal]] [[reality]]. To an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE ascending mortal] all lower and [[material]] [[standards]] must be recognized as transient, partial, and inferior. The [[scientist]], as such, is limited to the [[discovery]] of the [[relatedness]] of [[material]] [[facts]]. Technically, he has no right to assert that he is either [[materialist]] or [[idealist]], for in so doing he has assumed to forsake the attitude of a true scientist since any and all such assertions of [[attitude]] are the very [[essence]] of [[philosophy]].

132:1.3 Unless the [[moral]] [[insight]] and the [[spiritual]] [[attainment]] of [[mankind]] are [[proportionately]] augmented, the unlimited advancement of a purely [[materialistic]] [[culture]] may [[eventually]] become a menace to [[civilization]]. A purely materialistic science harbors within itself the [[potential]] [[seed]] of the destruction of all scientific striving, for this very [[attitude]] presages the ultimate [[collapse]] of a [[civilization]] which has abandoned its sense of [[moral]] [[values]] and has repudiated its [[spiritual]] goal of [[attainment]].

132:1.4 The [[materialistic]] [[scientist]] and the [[extreme]] [[idealist]] are destined always to be at loggerheads. This is not true of those scientists and idealists who are in [[possession]] of a common [[standard]] of high [[moral]] [[values]] and spiritual test levels. In every age scientists and religionists must [[recognize]] that they are on [[trial]] before the bar of human need. They must eschew all [[warfare]] between themselves while they strive valiantly to [[justify]] their continued [[survival]] by enhanced [[devotion]] to the [[service]] of [[human]] [[progress]]. If the so-called [[science]] or [[religion]] of any age is false, then must it either purify its [[activities]] or pass away before the [[emergence]] of a [[material]] [[science]] or spiritual [[religion]] of a truer and more [[worthy]] order.
