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.
*** PAPER
8: THE INFINITE SPIRIT
008:1
THE GOD OF ACTION 8:1.1 In the eternity of the past, upon
the personalization of the Infinite Spirit
the divine personality
cycle becomes perfect and complete. The God of Action
is existent, and the vast stage of space is set for the stupendous drama of
creation—the universal adventure—the divine panorama of the eternal ages. 8:1.2 The first act of the Infinite
Spirit is the inspection and recognition of his divine parents, the
Father-Father and the Mother-Son. He, the Spirit, unqualifiedly identifies
both of them. He is fully cognizant of their separate personalities and
infinite attributes as well as of their combined nature and united function.
Next, voluntarily, with transcendent willingness and inspiring spontaneity,
the Third Person of
Deity, notwithstanding his equality with the First and Second
Persons, pledges eternal loyalty to God the Father
and acknowledges everlasting dependence upon God the Son. 8:1.3 Inherent in the nature of this
transaction and in mutual recognition of the personality independence of each
and the executive union of all three, the cycle of eternity is established.
The Paradise Trinity
is existent. The stage of universal space is set for the manifold and
never-ending panorama of the creative unfolding of the purpose of the Universal Father
through the personality of the Eternal Son
and by the execution of the God of Action, the executive agency for the
reality performances of the Father-Son creator partnership. 8:1.4 The God of Action functions and
the dead vaults of space are astir. One billion perfect spheres flash into existence.
Prior to this hypothetical eternity moment the space-energies inherent in Paradise
are existent and potentially operative, but they have no actuality of being;
neither can physical gravity
be measured except by the reaction of material realities to its incessant
pull. There is no material universe at this (assumed) eternally distant
moment, but the very instant that one billion worlds materialize, there is in
evidence gravity sufficient and adequate to hold them in the everlasting
grasp of 8:1.5 There now flashes through the
creation of the Gods the second form of energy, and this outflowing
spirit is instantly grasped by the spiritual gravity of the Eternal Son. Thus
the twofold gravity-embraced universe is touched with the energy of infinity
and immersed in the spirit of divinity.
In this way is the soil of life prepared for the consciousness of mind made
manifest in the associated intelligence circuits
of the Infinite Spirit. 8:1.6 Upon these seeds of potential
existence, diffused throughout the central creation of the Gods, the Father
acts, and creature personality appears. Then does the presence of the Paradise Deities
fill all organized space and begin effectively to draw all things and beings Paradiseward. 8:1.7 The Infinite Spirit eternalizes concurrently with the
birth of the Havona worlds, this central universe being created by
him and with him and in him in obedience to the combined concepts and united
wills of the Father and the Son. The Third Person deitizes
by this very act of conjoint creation, and he thus forever becomes the Conjoint Creator. 8:1.8 These are the grand and awful
times of the creative expansion of the Father and the Son by, and in, the
action of their conjoint associate and exclusive executive, the Third Source and
Center. There exists no record of these stirring times. We have
only the meager disclosures of the Infinite Spirit to substantiate these
mighty transactions, and he merely verifies the fact that the central
universe and all that pertains thereto eternalized simultaneously with his
attainment of personality and conscious existence. 8:1.9 In brief, the Infinite Spirit
testifies that, since he is eternal, so also is the central universe eternal.
And this is the traditional starting point of the history of the universe of
universes. Absolutely nothing is known, and no records are in
existence, regarding any event or transaction prior to this stupendous
eruption of creative energy and administrative wisdom that crystallized the
vast universe which exists, and so exquisitely functions, at the center of
all things. Beyond this event lie the unsearchable transactions of eternity
and the depths of infinity—absolute mystery. 8:1.10 And we thus portray the sequential
origin of the Third Source and Center as an interpretative condescension to
the time-bound and space-conditioned mind of mortal creatures. The mind of
man must have a starting point for the visualization of universe history, and
I have been directed to provide this technique of approach to the historic
concept of eternity. In the material mind, consistency demands a First Cause;
therefore do we postulate the Universal Father as the First Source and the 8:1.11 It is enough of a reach of the material
mind of the children of time to conceive of the Father in eternity. We know
that any child can best relate himself to reality by first mastering the
relationships of the child-parent situation and then by enlarging this
concept to embrace the family as a whole. Subsequently the growing mind of
the child will be able to adjust to the concept of family relations, to
relationships of the community, the race, and the world, and then to those of
the universe, the superuniverse, even the universe
of universes. |
