9:4.1 There is an [[intellectual]] [[nature]] of the [[Third Source and Center]] that is distinct from his [[physical]] and [[spiritual]] [[attributes]]. Such a nature is hardly contactable, but it is [[associable]]—intellectually though not [[personal]]ly. It is distinguishable from the physical attributes and the spiritual [[character]] of the Third Person on mind levels of [[function]], but to the [[discernment]] of [[personalities]] this nature never functions independently of physical or spiritual [[manifestations]].
9:4.2 The [[absolute]] mind is the mind of the Third Person; it is inseparable from the [[personality]] of [[Infinite Spirit|God the Spirit]]. Mind, in functioning [[beings]], is not separated from [[energy]] or [[spirit]], or both. Mind is not inherent in energy; energy is [[receptive]] and [[responsive]] to mind; mind can be superimposed upon energy, but [[consciousness]] is not [[inherent]] in the [[purely]] [[material]] level. Mind does not have to be added to pure spirit, for spirit is innately conscious and identifying. Spirit is always [[intelligent]], minded in some way. It may be this mind or that mind, it may be premind or supermind, even spirit mind, but it does the [[equivalent]] of [[thinking]] and [[knowing]]. The [[insight]] of [[spirit]] [[transcends]], [[supervenes]], and [[theoretically]] antedates the consciousness of mind.
