Intercession 
133 
LORD of the Covenant, our heart's desire and prayer for 
Israel is that they may be saved. Let them look With faith 
on him whom they have pierced. Let them turn to the Lord 
so that the veil blinding their hearts may be taken away. Let 
the branches which are broken off not continue in unbelief. 
Let them be grafted back into their own olive-tree. Though 
blindness has happened to part of Israel, let the fullness of 
the Gentiles come in, so that the fullness of the Jews may 
also be realized. In this marvellous manner, let all Israel be 
saved.Rom. 10:1•, zech. 12:10•, 2 cor 3:16•, Rom. 11:23-26. 
Plato's Socrates defines the general qualities of 
human intelligence on three levels. The Iowest, beast- 
like level is that of individual greed, selfishness, the 
immoral heteronomy examined by Immanuel Kant 
in his Critique of Practical Reason. The next, higher 
level, is the formal understanding. This is the mere 
understanding as so viewed by Kant and Hegel, and is 
also the inadequate or fictitious knowledge defined so 
by Baruch Spinoza. The highest level of knowledge is 
Socratic reasqn, the pure reason (Vernunft) of Kant, 
and also the necessary existent of Ibn Sina (Avicen- 
na).
