The nature of each person's philosophy of life determines the nature of the person's adjustment to life.

"The nature of the adjustment so made depends upon each person's philosophy of life, conscious or unconscious, and which, although we might be inclined to reject the word, may in the broadest sense be termed religion."

"To be adequate religion must be based upon as complete a knowledge of the human being and other entities as possible."

"Religion cannot remain stationary. It must progress even as knowledge progresses."

"Such knowledge is not to be obtained by theorizing and building fantasies - much as the human mind is prone to follow this line of minimum resistance, but by painstaking observation of the human being and other entities, by careful research into the life-histories of individuals and all other living things.

And by investigating the psychology of the human mind and that of other creatures -by extensive research on other than the physical plane.

Only upon the most inclusive knowledge of both the inner plane and the outer plane can we hope at last, to build a theory accurately and truthfully portraying, in so far as present-day circumstances will permit, the human being's proper relation to all."
