In the
previous Interim-Papers we have reviewed the meanings of the TRUE WORSHIP of
the Paradise Universal Father, the PRAYER SUPPLICATIONS to the realms of the
Paradise Eternal Son and His Spirit of Truth, and qualified PRAYER
REALIZATIONS by the spirit agencies of the Holy Spirit, the Mind of the
Paradise Conjoint Actor. The following
Interim-Paper is devoted to further enlightenment about the true nature of
God.
*** 007:3 RELATION OF
THE ETERNAL 7:3.1 In the local
universe ascent the mortals of time look to the Creator Son as the personal
representative of the Eternal Son. But when they begin the ascent of
the superuniverse training regime, the pilgrims of
time increasingly detect the supernal presence of the inspiring spirit of the
Eternal Son, and they are able to profit by the intake of this ministry of
spiritual energization. In Havona the ascenders
become still more conscious of the loving embrace of the all-pervading spirit
of the Original Son. At no stage of the entire mortal ascension does the
spirit of the Eternal Son indwell the mind or soul of the pilgrim of time, but his
beneficence is ever near and always concerned with the welfare and spiritual
security of the advancing children of time. 7:3.2 The
spiritual-gravity pull of the Eternal Son constitutes the inherent secret of
the Paradise ascension of surviving human souls.
All genuine spirit values and all bona fide spiritualized
individuals are held within the unfailing grasp of the spiritual gravity of the Eternal Son. The mortal mind, for example, initiates its career
as a material mechanism and is eventually mustered into the Corps of the Finality as a well-nigh perfected
spirit existence, becoming progressively less subject to material gravity and
correspondingly more responsive to the inward pulling urge of spirit gravity
during this entire experience. The spirit-gravity circuit literally pulls the
soul of man Paradiseward. 7:3.3 The
spirit-gravity circuit is the basic channel for transmitting the genuine
prayers of the believing human heart from the level of human consciousness to
the actual consciousness of Deity. That which represents true spiritual
value in your petitions will be seized by the universal circuit of spirit
gravity and will pass immediately and simultaneously to all divine
personalities concerned. Each will occupy himself with that which belongs to
his personal province. Therefore, in your practical religious experience, it
is immaterial whether, in addressing your supplications, you visualize the
Creator Son of your local universe or the Eternal Son at the center of all
things. 7:3.4 The
discriminative operation of the spirit-gravity circuit might possibly be
compared to the functions of the neural circuits in the material human body: Sensations
travel inward over the neural paths; some are detained and responded to by
the lower automatic spinal centers; others pass on to the less automatic but
habit-trained centers of the lower brain, while the most important and vital
incoming messages flash by these subordinate centers and are immediately
registered in the highest levels of human consciousness. 7:3.5 But how much
more perfect is the superb technique of the spiritual world! If anything
originates in your consciousness that is fraught with supreme spiritual
value, when once you give it expression, no power in the universe can prevent
its flashing directly to the Absolute Spirit Personality of all creation. 7:3.6 Conversely,
if your supplications are purely material and wholly self-centered, there
exists no plan whereby such unworthy prayers can find lodgment in the spirit
circuit of the Eternal Son. The content of any petition which is not "
spirit indited " can find no place in the
universal spiritual circuit; such purely selfish and material requests fall
dead; they do not ascend in the circuits of true spirit values. Such words
are as " sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. " 7:3.7 It is the
motivating thought, the spiritual content, that validates the mortal
supplication. Words are valueless. |
