It is the pattern of evolution to move from simplicity to complexity. Our souls move through this same process of evolution in our personal spiritual experience. In our inner life we ascend through the Adjutant Mind Spirits, lastly attaining the spirit of Worship and true wisdom. Through the endowment of the superconscious mind, we receive the Spirit of Truth, enlarging our capacity to perceive truth and gain higher religious insight.

As we deepen this understanding, it becomes easier to identify our shortcomings. This process of purification reduces the evolutionary fears enabling us to be more selfless, less fearful, and ultimately more real.

In this teaching, Niánn Emerson Chase expounds upon “Religion and the Individual,” section 2 from Paper 103 of The URANTIA Book, “The Reality of Religious Experience.”
