"Humility is essential to social progress since learning begins with the recognition that none of us has all the answers. Arrogance, the opposite of humility, has been one of man’s greatest stumbling blocks." Charles Koch

In Part I, evidence from both science and religion was introduced for a spiritual dimension in our lives, and it appeared that we, as the Seeker of knowledge, existed as a duality (perhaps a quantum mix of matter and energy or matter and consciousness) In Part II, we investigated the relationships between our personal development and our faith (and belief), the Higher Self, the Superconscious, God, and the Kingdom of God; we found that the Seer was not apart from us, but was a part of us (as well as all of creation), and that it is our responsibility to grow in this awareness. As we learn to blend mind, body, and spirit, we find that there is not a duality, but that there is but One, and that ‘The Force’ is always with us. It is our responsibility to understand these relationships and to help others grow spiritually by promoting personal growth.

Spiritual growth requires mental and personal growth, and in order to grow personally, we must assume certain personal responsibilities.  The education that each of us has received is in relation to the personal effort that we have put into our school work, as well as the courses that we have taken, the quality of those courses, and the influence of our teachers. Likewise, we must make the effort to assume responsibility for conditions in the world to insure that our children can have the opportunity to grow into responsible adults. As citizens in the modern world we have greater responsibilities than did our distant ancestors, for mankind has more power now to change the world for good or for evil than ever before.

If we want a better world for our children (and their children), it is imperative that we become aware of both the opportunities and the dangers that they may face: we must work to improve the educational and political systems at the local, state, and national levels; and, we must plan for our own economic and ecological well-being. In short, we must be our brothers’ keepers and do what we can to further develop both our physical and spiritual well-being. We must do this to encourage the greatest development of personal worth of every individual in society. We must take charge of our own mind to awaken the ‘Christ’ (the mind of God) within us. In order to be love and live love we must do what we can to protect the quality of life for ourselves, for other people, and for as many species of life as possible.
