would you define mind as it functions on our planet in human and subhuman
life? How can we prevent useless anxiety and animal fear?
2. How
should we understand divine providence?
3. How
is mind related to progress?
4. How
do the angels administer the "hammers of suffering?"
5. How
do we distinguish jumps in evolutionary progress from revolutionary change?
6. If mind
can be superimposed on energy, could this be the source of the placebo effect?
7. How
does mind quality effect health?
8. How
do we achieve the mastery of our minds?
9. Is there
evidence of an intellectual gravity drawing us toward truth?
10. How
does "the living ladder whereby mortal man climbs from chaos to glory" function
to help us who are on the lowest rung looking up?
11. Is
our desire for the integration and unification of our physical, mental, and
spiritual capacities a reflection of the influence of the Conjoint Actor?
12. What
are the dangers of intelligence in human personality?
13. Do
violent storms and destructive tornadoes suggest that the Infinite Spirit
is lacking in the control of energy?
14. Do we have any
evidence of the Infinite Spirit's use of antigravity?
