Ideas of industry have advanced civilization’s quality of life on everything from digitally enhanced video tape to the digitally enhanced human body. Whatever our concept of the digitally enhanced, these 21st century terms need little qualification to be understood. Minimal conversation would generally clarify the terms preventing confusion. The mind is quite capable of segregating material facts even when language might impose confusion. Therefore knowledge is thus analyzed, sorted, and mentally recorded and stored - all in nano-seconds. While this may be the sequence of the fact-discerning mind, one essential ingredient of thought is often missing - truth. The mind sorts and records facts but only the spiritually discerning intellect records true values.

In varying degrees the mind of man operates above the limited animal consciousness (limited only to an awareness of the objective universe) in that man possesses the spirit potential of wisdom and worship - requisites for truth discernment.

In today’s world mankind is running the risk of sub-normal intelligent material advancement due to the exclusion of a concomitant moral commitment to the harmonizing effects of true values. Some how we have managed to develop unprecedented material growth without paying attention to where this growth is leading us as a collective body - as a society. Are we somehow out of synchrony - are we materially wobbling out of control? Perhaps our social bearings are in need of oil, or do we assume they are self lubricating - are we wearing down due to the lack of a concurrent spirituality monitoring our materiality? Our revelation suggests we are. In other words we have seemingly failed to incorporate sufficient ethics and morals as governing factors monitoring our material advancement, readily perceived in government politics, industry, the field of education, commerce, banking and in just about anything requiring human interaction.

“The eye of the material mind perceives a world of factual knowledge, the eye of the spiritualized intellect discerns a world of true values. These two views, synchronized and harmonized reveal the world of reality, wherein wisdom interprets the phenomenon of the universe in terms of progressive personal experience.” (Pg. 1435) Does this 20/0 vision then, not imply, a partial sense of insanity (lack of reality contact) to the 21st century culture. Is the 21st century culture making a symbolic fashion statement by proceeding in pirate fashion with a patch over one eye. Are we not covering the eye of “spiritualized intellect” and viewing the world in half blind fashion with the sharp but limited vision of only the eye of the material mind? Because if we are we are, the limiting of our perceptions makes us veritably unreal to the spiritual beings that surround us. We are then really little more than the lower animal orders. I sometimes think that Dr. Sadler’s English pug (Buddy) and my beagle (Bubby) had more spiritual awareness than many humans I’ve run into, since these little animals were incapable of spiritualizing their limited intellects, yet seemed to act with more decorum than half the human population.

When we deliberately close off half of our field of vision, in the above sense, we are narrowing our reality by closing our vision to the other half the world - the most important half - the spiritual side of life. We henceforth become more and more unreal with every decision that precludes spirituality from our lives.

Now it is generally recognized in the domain of psychology that the most widely used ego defense mechanism is denial - the capacity to tune out reality, often attributed to traumatic incidents, but certainly not limited thereto. Shutting out the spiritual reality reduces one’s life to a sham existence - denial at its best. When one has no fear of consequences, if he hasn’t already crippled himself physically, he surely will mentally. Reality demands that we observe all sides of life, good, bad, or indifferent.

When we intentionally escape reality, for whatever reason, we are employing denial (denial of the events that impinge upon us). When we proceed without regard to these events we ever so slowly chip away at our character by becoming less real, and less real equates to disingenuousness, and the disingenuous if not careful run the risk of being outright insincere, and it is insincerity that destroys us as a legitimate personality through misadaptation to cosmic harmony. Con artists, sociopaths, addicts, and psychotics live on the fringe of the real world. When their behavior becomes inveterate and seemingly devoid of a capacity to change, they have committed to a pattern of behavioral stagnation bordering on spiritual stagnation, thereby risking the chance at eternal survival. “Final divergence of personality will from the trend of the universes terminates in intellectual isolation, personality segregation. Loss of the indwelling spirit pilot supervenes in spiritual cessation of existence.” (Pg.1435) Into eternity enter only the sincere, the real, the genuine. Our spiritual progress and entrance into the kingdom is based on sincerity, sincerity, and more sincerity.

It takes a view from the eye of the material mind and the eye of the spiritualized intellect to balance our perceptions of life and tune us into the real world of true reality. It appears today that society is wearing blinders over its spiritual eye. Societies control industry, and both society and its economic arm (industry) are comprised of partially blind individuals. One doesn’t have think too deeply as to what the social consequences might be to a half blind society. There should be no dilemma here - this one eye tunnel- vision allows for many unnecessary mistakes, all kinds of social errors, errors that are quite evident throughout the world today. Civilized man has to learn how to lessen these mistakes or he may inadvertently doom himself and his civilization to extinction.

“The qualities of imperfection or facts of misadaptations are disclosed on the material level by critical observation and by scientific analysis; on the moral level, by human experience… The possibility of making mistakes is inherent in the acquisition of wisdom, the scheme of progressing from the partial and temporal to the complete and eternal, from the relative and imperfect to the final and perfected.” (Pg. 1435)

It appears evident the world societies must evolve from the stage of world piracy by removing the patch over their spiritual eye, and then and only then will we experience the beginnings of the cessation of the debilitating effects of our hijacked spiritual values so prevalent in the last five decades . Only then will we discover the harmony of social balance that underlies the advancement towards any future utopia.

“Knowledge is the sphere of the material or fact-discerning mind. Truth is the domain of the spiritually endowed intellect that is conscious of knowing God. Knowledge is demonstrable; truth is experienced. Knowledge is a possession of the mind; truth an experience of the soul, the progressing self… Knowledge is a function of the non spiritual level; truth is a phase of the mind-spirit level of the universe.” (Pg. 1435)

“A one-eyed person can never hope to visualized depth of perspective. Neither can single-eyed material scientists nor single-eyed spiritual mystics and allegorists correctly visualize and adequately comprehend the true depths of universe reality. All true values of creature experience are concealed in depth of recognition.” (Pg. 1434)
Is it not therefore imperative that to circumvent the growing insanity we synchronize our viewpoints of the material and spiritual to instill intelligent balance to all human endeavors - this to restore social harmony, to tune us into a world of true values - the ultimate reality. “Misadaptation of self-conscious life to the universe results in cosmic disharmony.” (Pg.1434) To achieve a requisite balance shouldn’t we start adapting our individual attitudes to a greater cosmic conformity - a conformity with Michael’s plan.

“Intelligent and progressing life becomes then, in and of itself, an incontrovertible proof of the existence of a purposeful universe expressing the will of a divine Creator. And this life, in the aggregate, struggles toward higher values, having for its final goal the Universal Father.” (Pg. 1435)

Based on the above, our goal of reality should be to synchronize and harmonize the world social order, something that just cannot be implemented without a visionary approach of the future requiring the unimpaired sight of both our material and spiritual eyes, all the while focused on the will of our divine Creator.
