~ ἆ ~ ~ † ~ ~_/ True Values \_~ ~ † ~ ~ ᾮ ~ >>>> Put in modern phraseology, Jesus taught: >>> ~* The standard of true values must be looked for in the spiritual world and on divine levels of eternal reality. To an ascending human all lower and material standards must be recognized as temporary, 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 ~ ~* Unless the moral insight and the spiritual attainment of mankind are proportionately improved, the unlimited advancement of a purely materialistic culture may eventually become a menace to civilization. A purely materialistic science harbours 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 rejected its spiritual goal of attainment ~ ~* 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 avoid 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 ~ ~ Ȋ ᾎM >> ~ Ŝtepђen >> Ρurveyor of Ʈrue Ŝpirituality ~ Ŝpiritual Ʈruth >> including the Teachings of Jesus which shall be the basis of the revival for the spiritual evolution of Ӈumanity ~ ~ I offer guidance only as the truth lies within your own hearts ~ Open up to the fragment of God that indwells within you and He shall surely direct your paths ~ Seek and thou shalt find the Spirit of Truth within ~ ~ WE ARE ONE >> ~ ἆ ~ ~ † ~ ~_/ Ʈђe Kingdom of God is at Ӈand \_~ ~ † ~ ~ ᾮ ~ ~ ἆ ~ ~ † ~ ~_/ Embrace it with all of your heart \_~ ~ † ~ ~ ᾮ ~ ~ ἆ ~ ~ † ~ ~ ~ ~_/ Ȋ ᾎM ἆlphḁ ḁnd ᾮmeģḁ \_~ ~ ~ ~ † ~ ~ ᾮ ~ ~ Ƒ†Ḹ _/ Ʈђe Ƒirst ḁnd ṱђe Lḁst ~ Ʈђe Beģinninģ ḁnd ṱђe Ẽnd \_ B†Ẽ ~ ~
