The origin and nature of the Directives of Thought

 

The origin and nature of the Directives of Thought

107:0.1 (1176.1)HOWEVER the Universal Father resides personally on Paradise, right at the center of the universes, he is also actually present on the worlds in space in the consciousness of his countless children in time, for he dwells with them as their Secret Mentor. The Eternal Father is at the same time farthest from, and most intimately connected with, His planetary mortal sons.

107:0.2 (1176.2)The Richters are the actuality of the Father's love incarnated in the soul of man; they are, captured in the mortal's consciousness, the unquestionable promise of man's eternal career. They are the essence of man's perfected personality as perfection, which he can already savor in time as he learns more and more to master the divine technique, through which he can begin to live the will of the Father, step by step, through the ascent from one universe to the next, until he actually reaches the divine presence of his Paradise-Father.

107:0.3 (1176.3)God, who has commanded man to be perfect as He Himself is perfect, has descended as the Richter to become man's experiential partner in the attainment of the heavenly destiny thus set. The fragment of God dwelling in man's consciousness is the absolute, unlimited assurance that man can find the Universal Father, in cooperation with this divine Richter who has gone forth from God to seek man and join him in sonship, even as early as the days of his existence in the flesh.

107:0.4 (1176.4)Every mortal who has seen a Creator-Son has seen the Universal Father, and in every one in whom dwells a divine Richter, dwells the Paradise Father. Every mortal who consciously or unconsciously follows the guidance of the Richter who dwells with him lives in accordance with the will of God. Awareness of the Richter's presence is awareness of the presence of God. The eternal fusion of the Richter with the evolutionary soul of man is the actual experience of eternal union with God as a universe partner of the Godhead.

107:0.5 (1176.5)It is the Richter who creates in man that insatiable yearning and that relentless desire to be like God, to reach Paradise, and to worship there before the real person of Deity the infinite origin of the divine gift. The Richter is the living presence that actually connects the mortal son with his Paradise Father and draws him ever closer to the Father. The Richter is our compensatory equalizer of the enormous universe tension caused by the distance with which man is removed from God, and by his degree of partiality, in contrast to the all-encompassingness of the eternal Father.

107:0.6 (1176.6)The Richter is an absolute essence of an infinite being, trapped in the consciousness of a finite creature, who, depending on the choice of such a mortal, can ultimately bring this temporary union of God and man to completion and truly actualize a being of a new order, serving forever in the universe. The Richter is the divine universe-reality that makes factual the truth that God is the Father of man. The Richter is “man's infallible cosmic compass, which always infallibly points the soul in the direction of God.

107:0.7 (1177.1)On the evolutionary worlds, will-creatures go through three general stages of development of being: from the advent of the Richter until they reach relative maturity, on Urantia at the age of about twenty years, Mentors are sometimes referred to as Thought Changers. From then until reaching the years of discernment, at about forty years of age, the Secretive Mentors are called Thought Makers. From reaching the years of discernment until liberation from the flesh, they are often referred to as Thought Controllers. These three stages in the life of a mortal do not relate to the three stages of progression known to the Richter in the duplication of consciousness and the development of the soul.

1. The Origin of the Directers of Thought.

107:1.1 (1177.2)Since Thought Directers are part of the essence of the original Godhead, no one can afford to speak with authority about their nature and origin: I can only communicate the traditions of Salvington and what we at Uversa believe regarding them. I can only explain to you how we everywhere in the great universe regard these Secret Mentors and the entities associated with them.

107:1.2 (1177.3)Although there are differing opinions as to how the Mind Guides are granted, there is no difference of opinion as to their origin; all agree that they derive directly from the Universal Father, the First Source and Center. They are not created beings: they are entities emitted as fragments that constitute the actual presence of the infinite God. Together with their many unrevealed partners, the Richters are pure, unmixed divinity, unlimited, unaffected parts of the Godhead; they are of God, and as far as we can see, they are God.

107:1.3 (1177.4)As to when they begin their separate existence apart from the absoluteness of the First Source and Center, about this we know nothing, nor do we know their number. As to their career before they arrive on the planets of time and take up residence in the consciousness of human beings, we know little, but from then on we are more or less familiar with their cosmic progress, up to and including the attainment of their triune destiny: the acquisition of personality by fusion with a mortal in ascension, the attainment of personality by decision of the Universal Father, or exemption from the known duties of the Thought-Givers.

107:1.4 (1177.5)Although we do not know, we suppose that Richters are constantly being individuated as the universe expands, and as the candidates for fusion with the Richter increase in number. But it is equally possible that we are mistaken when we attempt to assign numerical greatness to the Richters: like God Himself, these fragments of the unfathomable nature of God may also be existentially infinite.

107:1.5 (1177.6)The technique by which the Directors of Thought come into being is one of the unrevealed functions of the Universal Father. We have every reason to believe that none of the other absolute sharers of the First Source and Center has anything to do with the bringing forth of the Father fragments. Richters are simply and eternally divine gifts; they are of God and from God, and they are like God.

107:1.6 (1177.7)In their relationship to fusion creatures, they reveal a transcendent love and spiritual helpfulness that is a profound affirmation of the statement that God is spirit. But in addition to this transcendent service, much more takes place that has never been revealed to mortals on Urantia. Nor do we fully understand what really happens when the Universal Father gives something of Himself that becomes part of the personality of a creature in time. Nor, as yet, has the continuing ascent of the Paradise Fulfillment unlocked all the possibilities inherent in this exalted partnership of man and God. After all, the Father-fragments must be the gift of the absolute God to those creatures whose final destination includes the possibility that they will reach God at the absolute level.

107:1.7 (1178.1)Just as the Universal Father fragments his pre-personal Godhead, so also the Infinite Spirit grants individuality to parts of his pre-consciousness mind to dwell with, and actually merge with, the evolutionary souls of the survival-coming mortals of the mind-fusion series. However, the nature of the Eternal Son cannot be fragmented in this way: the spirit of the Original Son is either diffuse or distinctly personal. Creatures merged with the Son are united with individualized endowments of the spirit of the Creator-Sons of the Eternal Son.

A Thought for Consideration from The Urantia Book

The Delay at Ramah

 

The delay at Ramah

146:3.1 (1641.3)At Ramah, Jesus had the memorable conversation with the elderly Greek sage who taught that science and philosophy were sufficient to meet the needs of human experience. Jesus listened with patience and sympathy to this Greek teacher, acknowledging the truth of many things he said, but when the Greek had finished, Jesus pointed out to him that in his discussion of human existence, he had failed to give an explanation of the “whence, why, and whither,” adding, “Where thou hast ceased, we begin. Religion is a revelation to the soul of man, dealing with spiritual realities that thought alone could never discover or fully fathom. The efforts of the intellect may reveal the facts of life, but the gospel of the kingdom unfolds the truths of existence. Thou hast discussed the material shadows of truth, wilt thou now listen while I tell thee of the eternal, spiritual realities that shed these passing time-shadows of the material facts of mortal existence? For more than an hour, Jesus taught this Greek the saving truths of the gospel of the kingdom. The ancient philosopher was receptive to the Master's approach, and being sincere and honest in heart, he soon believed this gospel of salvation.

146:3.2 (1641.4)The apostles were somewhat dismayed at the open manner in which Jesus agreed with many of the Greek's propositions, but Jesus said to them afterwards, when they were among themselves again, “Children, do not be surprised that I was tolerant of the Greek's philosophy. True, genuine inner certainty is not in the least afraid of outside analysis, nor does truth take offence at honest criticism. One must never forget that bigotry is a mask to disguise the fact that one secretly doubts the correctness of what one believes. No one will ever be upset by his neighbor's disposition if he has perfect confidence in the truth of what he sincerely believes. Courage is the confidence that comes from absolute honesty about the things one says he believes in. Sincere people are not afraid of a critical examination of their true beliefs and noble ideals.

146:3.3 (1641.5)On the second evening at Ramah, Tomas asked Jesus the following question, “Master, how can anyone who only believes in your teaching really know, really be sure, that this gospel of the kingdom is true?

146:3.4 (1641.6)And Jesus said to Tomas, “Your assurance that you have become a member of the family of the Father's kingdom, and that you will live forever with the children of the kingdom, is entirely a matter of personal experience - faith in the word of truth. Spiritual assurance is the equivalent of your personal religious experience in the eternal realities of divine truth, and is otherwise equivalent to your intelligent understanding of the truth realities, plus your spiritual faith confidence, and minus your honest doubt.

146:3.5 (1642.1)'The Son is naturally endowed with the life of the Father. Because you are endowed with the living spirit of the Father, you are therefore sons of God. You survive your life in the material world of the flesh because you become identified with the living spirit of the Father, the gift of eternal life. Very many already had this life before I went forth from the Father, and many more received this spirit because they believed my word; but I tell you that when I return to the Father, he will send his spirit into the hearts of all men.

146:3.6 (1642.2)'Although you cannot see the divine spirit working in your consciousness, there is a practical method of discovering to what extent you have transferred control over the faculties of your souls to the instruction and guidance of this indwelling spirit of the Heavenly Father, and that is the degree to which you love your fellow men. This spirit of the Father shares in the love of the Father, and according to the degree to which it controls human beings, it certainly leads you in the direction of worshiping God and loving your fellow man. At first you believe that you are sons of God because my teaching has made you more aware of the inner indications of our Father's indwelling presence, but soon the Spirit of Truth will be poured out on all flesh, and it will live among men and teach all men, just as I now live among you and speak the words of truth to you. And this Spirit of Truth, speaking for the spiritual gifts to your souls, will help you to know that you are sons of God. It will witness unceasingly, together with the indwelling presence of the Father, your spirit, which will then dwell in all men as it now dwells in some, telling you that in truth you are sons of God.

146:3.7 (1642.3)'Every child of the earth who follows the instruction of this spirit will eventually know the will of God, and he who surrenders to the will of my Father will live forever. The way from life on earth to the eternal state has not been made clear to you, but there is a way, there has always been a way, and I have come to make that way new and alive. He who enters the kingdom already has eternal life - he will never perish. But much of this you will understand better when I have returned to the Father and you can see your present experiences in retrospect.

146:3.8 (1642.4)All who heard these blessed words were greatly encouraged. Jewish teaching had been confused and uncertain regarding the survival of the righteous, and it was invigorating and inspiring for the followers of Jesus to hear these very clear and positive words of assurance regarding the eternal survival of all sincere believers.

146:3.9 (1642.5)The apostles continued to preach and baptize believers, while also remaining faithful to their custom of making visits from house to house, encouraging the downcast, and caring for the sick and suffering. The apostolic organization was expanded, in that each of Jesus' apostles now had one of John's apostles as an associate. Abner was Andrew's associate, and this plan remained in effect until they went to Jerusalem for the next Passover.

146:3.10 (1642.6)The special instruction that Jesus gave them during the stay at Zebulun had primarily to do with further discussions of mutual obligations in the kingdom and included teaching designed to make clear the differences between personal religious experience and the friendly relationships that flow from social religious obligations. This was one of the few times the Master ever discussed the social aspects of religion. Throughout his life on earth, Jesus gave very little instruction to his followers regarding the socialization of religion.

146:3.11 (1643.1)The inhabitants of Zebulun were of mixed race, hardly Jewish nor pagan, and few of them really came to believe in Jesus despite the fact that they had heard of the healing of the sick at Capernaum.

On The Way To Rome

On the Way to Rome 130:0.1 (1427.1)THE tour of the Roman world consumed most of the twenty-eighth and the entire twenty-ninth year of Jesus’ life on earth. Jesus and the two natives from India—Gonod and his son Ganid—left Jerusalem on a Sunday morning, April 26, a.d. 22. They made their journey according to schedule, and Jesus said good-bye to the father and son in the city of Charax on the Persian Gulf on the tenth day of December the following year, a.d. 23. 130:0.2 (1427.2)From Jerusalem they went to Caesarea by way of Joppa. At Caesarea they took a boat for Alexandria. From Alexandria they sailed for Lasea in Crete. From Crete they sailed for Carthage, touching at Cyrene. At Carthage they took a boat for Naples, stopping at Malta, Syracuse, and Messina. From Naples they went to Capua, whence they traveled by the Appian Way to Rome.

Buddhism

 

Buddhism

131:3.1 (1446.3)Ganid was shocked to discover how near Buddhism came to being a great and beautiful religion without God, without a personal and universal Deity. However, he did find some record of certain earlier beliefs which reflected something of the influence of the teachings of the Melchizedek missionaries who continued their work in India even to the times of Buddha. Jesus and Ganid collected the following statements from the Buddhist literature:

131:3.2 (1446.4)“Out of a pure heart shall gladness spring forth to the Infinite; all my being shall be at peace with this supermortal rejoicing. My soul is filled with content, and my heart overflows with the bliss of peaceful trust. I have no fear; I am free from anxiety. I dwell in security, and my enemies cannot alarm me. I am satisfied with the fruits of my confidence. I have found the approach to the Immortal easy of access. I pray for faith to sustain me on the long journey; I know that faith from beyond will not fail me. I know my brethren will prosper if they become imbued with the faith of the Immortal, even the faith that creates modesty, uprightness, wisdom, courage, knowledge, and perseverance. Let us forsake sorrow and disown fear. By faith let us lay hold upon true righteousness and genuine manliness. Let us learn to meditate on justice and mercy. Faith is man’s true wealth; it is the endowment of virtue and glory.

131:3.3 (1446.5)“Unrighteousness is contemptible; sin is despicable. Evil is degrading, whether held in thought or wrought out in deeds. Pain and sorrow follow in the path of evil as the dust follows the wind. Happiness and peace of mind follow pure thinking and virtuous living as the shadow follows the substance of material things. Evil is the fruit of wrongly directed thinking. It is evil to see sin where there is no sin; to see no sin where there is sin. Evil is the path of false doctrines. Those who avoid evil by seeing things as they are gain joy by thus embracing the truth. Make an end of your misery by loathing sin. When you look up to the Noble One, turn away from sin with a whole heart. Make no apology for evil; make no excuse for sin. By your efforts to make amends for past sins you acquire strength to resist future tendencies thereto. Restraint is born of repentance. Leave no fault unconfessed to the Noble One.

131:3.4 (1447.1)“Cheerfulness and gladness are the rewards of deeds well done and to the glory of the Immortal. No man can rob you of the liberty of your own mind. When the faith of your religion has emancipated your heart, when the mind, like a mountain, is settled and immovable, then shall the peace of the soul flow tranquilly like a river of waters. Those who are sure of salvation are forever free from lust, envy, hatred, and the delusions of wealth. While faith is the energy of the better life, nevertheless, must you work out your own salvation with perseverance. If you would be certain of your final salvation, then make sure that you sincerely seek to fulfill all righteousness. Cultivate the assurance of the heart which springs from within and thus come to enjoy the ecstasy of eternal salvation.

131:3.5 (1447.2)“No religionist may hope to attain the enlightenment of immortal wisdom who persists in being slothful, indolent, feeble, idle, shameless, and selfish. But whoso is thoughtful, prudent, reflective, fervent, and earnest—even while he yet lives on earth—may attain the supreme enlightenment of the peace and liberty of divine wisdom. Remember, every act shall receive its reward. Evil results in sorrow and sin ends in pain. Joy and happiness are the outcome of a good life. Even the evildoer enjoys a season of grace before the time of the full ripening of his evil deeds, but inevitably there must come the full harvest of evil-doing. Let no man think lightly of sin, saying in his heart: ‘The penalty of wrongdoing shall not come near me.’ What you do shall be done to you, in the judgment of wisdom. Injustice done to your fellows shall come back upon you. The creature cannot escape the destiny of his deeds.

131:3.6 (1447.3)“The fool has said in his heart, ‘Evil shall not overtake me’; but safety is found only when the soul craves reproof and the mind seeks wisdom. The wise man is a noble soul who is friendly in the midst of his enemies, tranquil among the turbulent, and generous among the grasping. Love of self is like weeds in a goodly field. Selfishness leads to grief; perpetual care kills. The tamed mind yields happiness. He is the greatest of warriors who overcomes and subdues himself. Restraint in all things is good. He alone is a superior person who esteems virtue and is observant of his duty. Let not anger and hate master you. Speak harshly of no one. Contentment is the greatest wealth. What is given wisely is well saved. Do not to others those things you would not wish done to you. Pay good for evil; overcome evil with the good.

131:3.7 (1447.4)“A righteous soul is more to be desired than the sovereignty of all the earth. Immortality is the goal of sincerity; death, the end of thoughtless living. Those who are earnest die not; the thoughtless are dead already. Blessed are they who have insight into the deathless state. Those who torture the living will hardly find happiness after death. The unselfish go to heaven, where they rejoice in the bliss of infinite liberality and continue to increase in noble generosity. Every mortal who thinks righteously, speaks nobly, and acts unselfishly shall not only enjoy virtue here during this brief life but shall also, after the dissolution of the body, continue to enjoy the delights of heaven.”

The Later Adult Life of Jesus

129:0.1 (1419.1)JESUS had fully and finally separated himself from the management of the domestic affairs of the Nazareth family and from the immediate direction of its individuals. He continued, right up to the event of his baptism, to contribute to the family finances and to take a keen personal interest in the spiritual welfare of every one of his brothers and sisters. And always was he ready to do everything humanly possible for the comfort and happiness of his widowed mother.

129:0.2 (1419.2)The Son of Man had now made every preparation for detaching himself permanently from the Nazareth home; and this was not easy for him to do. Jesus naturally loved his people; he loved his family, and this natural affection had been tremendously augmented by his extraordinary devotion to them. The more fully we bestow ourselves upon our fellows, the more we come to love them; and since Jesus had given himself so fully to his family, he loved them with a great and fervent affection.

129:0.3 (1419.3)All the family had slowly awakened to the realization that Jesus was making ready to leave them. The sadness of the anticipated separation was only tempered by this graduated method of preparing them for the announcement of his intended departure. For more than four years they discerned that he was planning for this eventual separation.

Jesus’ Early Manhood

128:0.1 (1407.1)AS JESUS of Nazareth entered upon the early years of his adult life, he had lived, and continued to live, a normal and average human life on earth. Jesus came into this world just as other children come; he had nothing to do with selecting his parents. He did choose this particular world as the planet whereon to carry out his seventh and final bestowal, his incarnation in the likeness of mortal flesh, but otherwise he entered the world in a natural manner, growing up as a child of the realm and wrestling with the vicissitudes of his environment just as do other mortals on this and on similar worlds.

128:0.2 (1407.2)Always be mindful of the twofold purpose of Michael’s bestowal on Urantia:

128:0.3 (1407.3)1. The mastering of the experience of living the full life of a human creature in mortal flesh, the completion of his sovereignty in Nebadon.

128:0.4 (1407.4)2. The revelation of the Universal Father to the mortal dwellers on the worlds of time and space and the more effective leading of these same mortals to a better understanding of the Universal Father.

128:0.5 (1407.5)All other creature benefits and universe advantages were incidental and secondary to these major purposes of the mortal bestowal.

Continuing religious experience

 

Continuing religious experience

101:6.1 (1111.5)The morontia phase of revealed religion has to do with the experience of survival, and the great driving force in this phase is the attainment of spirit perfection. You also experience there the higher impulse to worship God, as well as an urgent call to higher ethical service. Morontia insight entails becoming increasingly aware of the Sevenfold, the Supreme and even the Ultimate.

101:6.2 (1111.6)Throughout religious experience, from its very inception at the material level to the time when the full status of spirit is attained, the Richter constitutes the secret of personal awareness of the reality of the existence of the Supreme; in this same Richter also lie the secrets of your belief in the transcendental attainment of the Ultimate. The experiential personality of the evolving man, united with the Richter-essence of the existential God, constitutes the potential completion of the supreme existence and, according to its nature, is the basis for the transcendental resultant of the transcendental personality.

101:6.3 (1111.7)The moral will involves decisions grounded in reasoned knowledge, deepened by wisdom and ratified by religious faith. Such choices are acts of a moral nature and attest to the existence of the moral personality, the precursor of the morontia personality, and ultimately of true spirit-status.

101:6.4 (1111.8)Knowledge of the evolutionary type is merely the accumulation of protoplasmic memory material; this is the most primitive form of created consciousness. Wisdom involves the ideas formulated by association and recombination from protoplasmic memory; these phenomena distinguish human consciousness from purely animal consciousness. Animals have knowledge, but only humans possess the capacity for wisdom. Truth becomes accessible to the wisdom-endowed individual because to such a consciousness are bestowed the spirits of the Father and of the Sons, the Thought Giver and the Spirit of Truth.

101:6.5 (1112.1)When Christ Michael had given himself to Urantia, he lived under the rule of evolutionary religion until the moment of his baptism. From that moment until the event of his crucifixion, he continued his labor under the combined leadership of evolutionary and revealed religion. From the morning of his resurrection to his ascension, he passed through the multiple stages of morontia life of the mortal transition from the world of matter to that of spirit. After his ascension, Michael came into possession of the experience of the Supreme Reign, the awareness of the Supreme; and since he is the only person in Nebadon who possesses an unlimited ability to experience the reality of the Supreme, he immediately attained the status of the sovereignty of supreme power in, and before the eyes of, his local universe.

101:6.6 (1112.2)As for man, his ultimate fusion and consequent oneness with the indwelling Richter-the personality synthesis of man with the essence of God-make him, in potentiality, a living part of the Supreme, and guarantee that such a formerly mortal being has the eternal birthright to the never-ending after- striving of finality of universe-serving for, and together with, the Supreme.

101:6.7 (1112. 3)Revelation teaches mortal man that in order to embark on such a wonderful, intriguing adventure through space through the progression of time, he must begin by organizing his knowledge into idea-decisions; then he must instruct wisdom to labor unceasingly in its noble task of transforming the ideas he has made his own into ever more practical but nevertheless elevated ideals, into those conceptions which are so reasonable as ideas, and so logical as ideals, that the Richter dares to combine and spiritualize them to such an extent that they can be linked together in finite consciousness in such a way that they form the actual human complement thus prepared for the activity of the Truth-Spirit of Sons, the time-space manifestations of Paradise-truth-universal truth. The coordination of idea-decisions, logical ideals and divine truth constitutes the possession of a righteous character, the prerequisite for the mortal's access to the ever-expanding, ever-more spiritual realities of the morontia worlds.

101:6.8 (1112.4)The teaching of Jesus was the first religion on Urantia that involved such complete, harmonious coordination of knowledge, wisdom, faith, truth and love that it provided complete and simultaneous tranquility in worldly affairs, intellectual certainty, moral enlightenment, philosophical stability, ethical sensitivity, God-consciousness and the positive certainty of personal survival. The faith of Jesus pointed the way to the finality of human preservation, to the ultimate of mortal universe-acquisition, by providing:

101:6.9 (1112.5)1. deliverance from material fetters in the personal realization of his sonship of God, who is spirit;

101:6.10 (1112.6)2. deliverance from intellectual bondage: man will know the truth and the truth will set him free;

101:6.11 (1112.7)3. deliverance from spiritual blindness, the human sense of the brotherhood of mortals and the morontial sense of the brotherhood of all creatures in the universe; the service-discovery of spiritual reality and the service-revelation of the goodness of spirit-values;

101:6.12 (1113.1)4. redemption from the incompleteness of the self through the attainment of the mind-levels of the universe, and through the final realization of the harmony of Havona and the perfection of Paradise;

101:6.13 (1113.2)5. redemption of the self, liberation from the limitations of self-consciousness, through attainment of the cosmic levels of Supreme consciousness and through coordination with what has been achieved by all other self-conscious beings;

101:6.14 (1113.3)6. redemption from time, attaining an eternal life of never-ending progress in recognizing God and serving God;

101:6.15 (1113.4)7. redemption of the finite, the perfected union with the Godhead in and through the Supreme, through which the creature seeks to discover the Ultimate transcendent on the post-complete levels of the absonite.

101:6.16 (1113.5)This sevenfold redemption is the equivalent of the completeness and perfection of the realization of the ultimate experience of the Universal Father. And all this is potentially contained in the reality of faith as man experiences it in religion. And it may also be contained herein, because the faith of Jesus was nourished by and revealed realities even beyond the ultimate; the faith of Jesus approached the status of an absolute universe-reality, insofar as such a reality can manifest itself in the evolving cosmos of time and space.

101:6.17 (1113.6)By appropriating the faith of Jesus, mortal man can already taste in time the realities of eternity. Jesus discovered the Final Father in his human experience, and his brothers according to the flesh in mortal life can imitate him in this experience of discovering the Father. They can even, as they are now, achieve the same satisfaction in this experience with the Father that Jesus achieved as he was. New potentialities were actualized in the universe Nebadon as a result of the final self-gifting of Michael, and one of these was the new light on the path of eternity that leads to the Father of all, and that can be traveled even by the mortals of material flesh and blood during their initial life on the planets in space. Jesus was and is the new, living way through which man can arrive at the divine inheritance which, according to the Father has ordained, will be his if man only asks for it. In Jesus it is abundantly demonstrated what is the very beginning and also the end and completion of man's experience of faith, even of divine man.
