*In carrying out my commission to restate the teachings and retell the doings of Jesus of [[Nazareth]], I have drawn freely upon all sources of record and [[planetary]] [[information]]. My ruling motive has been to prepare a record which will not only be enlightening to the generation of men now living, but which may also be helpful to all future generations. From the vast store of information made available to me, I have chosen that which is best suited to the accomplishment of this purpose. As far as possible I have derived my information from purely human sources. Only when such sources failed, have I resorted to those records which are superhuman. When [[idea]]s and [[concepts]] of Jesus' life and teachings have been acceptably expressed by a human [[mind]], I invariably gave preference to such apparently human thought patterns. Although I have sought to adjust the verbal expression the better to conform to our concept of the real [[meaning]] and the true import of the Master's life and teachings, as far as possible, I have adhered to the actual human concept and thought pattern in all my narratives. I well know that those concepts which have had origin in the human mind will prove more acceptable and helpful to all other human minds. When unable to find the necessary concepts in the human records or in human expressions, I have next resorted to the memory resources of my own order of earth creatures, the [[midwayers]]. And when that secondary source of information proved inadequate, I have unhesitatingly resorted to the superplanetary sources of information.
