He is a man whose perception goes farther, whose awareness goes deeper than the rest of his fellow men.

It must go so far and so deep that it rests durably in the "I Am" of the Overself.

The second credential, and admittedly a lesser one, is the compassionate desire to effect this communication as much as possible.

The third is that he have special power to teach others what he knows.
