【人類對優越的關注產生「有—做—是」的思維範型】
優越(Superiority)有許多用處。其中最主要的一種是提供了可以去做「為確保能得到足夠的一切——包括神的愛——所須做的事」之無須爭辨的正當理由。懂得這些優越的條件可以賦予一個人權利去忽視他人、去叫人皈依，或乾脆消滅那些不知道條件或不同意他們的人。
所以，努力去懂「生命的條件」變成了一種人們主要關注的事。懂得生命的狀況、條件被稱為「科學」。懂得來生的狀況、條件被稱為「良心」。如果一個人懂得這些狀況、條件，並且了解它們，便會被稱為是有一種「好的良知」或是有「意識」。
據說經由熱誠地學習你們所謂的「神學」，即從神＋邏輯，或簡單地說，神的邏輯（God logic），可以達到一種「高階意識」。
經過很多研究之後，結論是，在有些情況下，可以達到「必備資格」(Requirement)，而在某些情況下，「必備資格」是不可能達到的。還有在另一些情況下，一個人沒能達到「必備資格」則是可被原諒的。
這些情況後來被你們稱為「條件」。
「擁有」（“having”)在你們的經驗裡，已被加到需要「有所做為」（“doing”)的觀念裡。
當你「有」足夠的頭腦，你就能「做」所謂的得到好分數、全班第一名畢業和找到一份好工作。然後，你就能「是」（be成為）所謂的成功的人。
當你「有」足夠的金錢，你就能「做」所謂的買一幢很棒的房子的事，而你就能「是」所謂無憂無慮的人。
當你「有」足夠的時間，你就能「做」所謂渡假的事，而你就能「是」所謂的精力充沛、恢復精神和放鬆的。
當你「有」足夠的權力，你就能「做」所謂決定自己命運的事，而你就能「是」所謂自由自在的人。
當你「有」足夠的信心，你就能「做」所謂找到神的事，而你就能「是」所謂得救的人。
這就是你們「如何建構出你們的世界」的方式...
你們認為一個人獲得（或被認為獲得）了越多有關這些條件的知識，他就被認為越是優越。而這優越感也給了人們權威去做任何他們覺得為了保證自己有更多東西而必須做的事。
這就是為何你一直都必須做「你所必須做的」理由：因為並沒有足夠的。這是你們一直都在告訴自己的。你們整個的族類都接受了這個咒語。
摘自《與神合一》第9章
Superiority had many uses. Chief among them was providing inarguable justification for doing whatever was needed in order to guarantee that "enough" of everything—including God's love—was available. Knowing the conditions gave one the right to ignore others, or seek to convert others, or simply eliminate others who did not know the conditions, or agree to them.
Therefore, seeking to know the conditions of Life became a major preoccupation. Knowing the conditions of Life was called science. Knowing the conditions of the afterlife was called conscience. If one knew these conditions and understood them, one was said to have "a good conscience," or to be "conscious"
A "high consciousness" was said to result from the earnest study of something you called theology, from theology, or, loosely, God logic.
After much study, it was concluded that there were certain circumstances under which the Requirement could be met, and certain circumstances under which that was impossible. There were also certain circumstances under which one could be forgiven for not having met the Requirement.
These circumstances came to be known as "the conditions."
"Having" was added to "doing" in your experience.
When you have enough brains, you can do the thing called get good grades, graduate at the top of your class, and find a great job. Then you can be the thing called successful.
When you have enough money, you can do the thing called buy a wonderful house, and you can be the thing called secure.
When you have enough time, you can do the thing called take a vacation, and you can be the thing called rested, refreshed, and relaxed.
When you have enough power you can do the thing called determine your own destiny, and you can be the thing called free.
When you have enough faith, you can do the thing called find God, and you can be the thing called saved.
This is how you set up your world.
The more knowledge of these conditions one acquired (or was thought to have acquired), the more superior one was understood to be.
As has been mentioned, this Superiority gave people he authority (or encouraged people to grant themselves the authority) to do whatever they felt was necessary in order to assure themselves more Life and more God— neither of which there was enough of.
This is why you've had to do what you've had to do: because there was not enough. This is what you have told yourself. Your entire species has accepted this mantra.
