THE FAMILY AND THE NATION
form of environment deterioration, natural calamities, - new forms of sicknesses and, at the same time, revolution in science. We need a moral code or guideline of ethics to meet these challenges.

THE ETERNAL ORDER OF PROGRESSION There is an eternity of knowledge before us; at most we receive but very little in this stage of our progression. The most learned men on this earth have only been able to obtain a small amount of knowledge in comparison to the vast store of information that exists. It cannot be exhibited by any individual to an extent greater than what people are able to comprehend. Consequently, knowledge must descend to our capacity to understand it.
Mankind is made up of elements designed to endure through eternity; they never had a beginning and never can have an end. There never was a time when this matter, of which each one of us is composed, was not in existence, and there never can be a time when it will pass out of existence; it cannot be annihilated. It is brought together, organized, and capacitated to receive knowledge and intelligence.
Harold Waldwin Percival (1868–1953) believed that a human being is made up of nature units that make up the body, its breath form or living soul, its conscious doer, and the Conscious Light, which is loaned to the doer. The state of being aware of Consciousness allowed one to know about any subject simply by thinking about it. Percival defined thinking as the 'steady holding of the Conscious Light within on the subject of the thinking'.
