Local universe spirit circuits.
There are three distinct spirit circuits in the local universe of Nebadon:
1. “The bestowal spirit of the Creator Son, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth.
2. “The spirit circuit of the Divine Minister, the Holy Spirit.
3. “The intelligence-ministry circuit, including the more or less unified activities but diverse functioning of the seven adjutant mind-spirits. (377.5) 34:4.1

The domain of human personality.
Personality always seeks unification.
“The relative free will which characterizes the self-consciousness of human
personality is involved in:
“1. Moral decision, highest wisdom.
“2. Spiritual choice, truth discernment.
“3. Unselfish love, brotherhood service.
“4. Purposeful co-operation, group loyalty.
“5. Cosmic insight, the grasp of universe meanings.
“6. Personality dedication, wholehearted devotion to doing the
Father’s will.
“7. Worship, the sincere pursuit of divine values and the
wholehearted love of the divine Value-Giver.” (194.7) 16:8.7
Personality is difficult to define—but it is recognized as functioning on diverse levels:
1. Physical level—the physique.
2. Intellectual level—the mind.
3. Emotional level—temperament.
4. Social level—ethical disposition.
5. Moral level—the character.
PERSONAL RELIGION
Every different culture of humanity has its own unique religious perspective on human existence,
and these religions can never come to intellectual unification. Human unity can only be achieved
through the religion of the spirit. Human minds may differ, but all humanity is indwelt by the
same spirit. The hope of human unity can only be realized when the divergent religions become
transformed by the unifying and ennobling religion of the spirit -- the religion of personal
spiritual experience.
The religions of authority can only divide people and set them against each other; the religion of
the spirit will progressively draw people together and cause them to become understandingly
sympathetic with one another. The religions of authority require uniformity in belief, but this is
impossible to realize in the present state of the world. The religion of the spirit requires only
unity of experience -- uniformity of destiny -- making full allowance for diversity of belief. The
religion of the spirit requires only uniformity of insight, not uniformity of viewpoint and outlook.
The religions of authority crystallize their beliefs into lifeless creeds; the religion of the spirit
grows into the increasing joy of loving service.
The philosophic elimination of religious fear and the steady progress of science add greatly to
the end of false gods and to the eventual destruction of that ignorance and superstition which so
long obscured the living Creator of eternal love. The relation between the creature and the
Creator is a living experience, a dynamic religious faith, which is not subject to precise
definition. To isolate part of life and call it religion is to disintegrate life and to distort religion.
Religious convictions may be arrived at through wise reasoning, but the individual becomes
certain only through personal experience.
