is SonIn 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

THE
URANTIA BOOK—PAPER 9: RELATION OF THE INFINITE SPIRIT TO THE UNIVERSE
Audio Version Printer Friendly Synopsis
9:0.1 A strange thing occurred when, in
the presence of Paradise, the Universal
Father and the Eternal
Son unite to
personalize themselves. Nothing in this eternity
situation foreshadows that the Conjoint
Actor would personalize
as an unlimited spirituality co-ordinated with
absolute mind and endowed with unique prerogatives of energy manipulation.
His coming into being completes the Father's liberation from the bonds of
centralized perfection and from the fetters of personality absolutism. And this liberation is disclosed in the amazing power of
the Conjoint
Creator to create beings
well adapted to serve as ministering
spirits even to the
material creatures of the subsequently evolving universes.
9:0.2 The Father is infinite in love and volition, in spiritual thought and
purpose; he is the universal upholder. The Son is infinite in wisdom and
truth, in spiritual expression and interpretation; he is the universal
revealer. Paradise is infinite in potential for force endowment and in capacity for energy
dominance; it is the universal stabilizer. The Conjoint Actor possesses
unique prerogatives of synthesis, infinite capacity to co-ordinate all
existing universe energies, all actual universe spirits, and all real
universe intellects; the Third
Source and Center is the universal
unifier of the manifold energies and diverse creations which have appeared in
consequence of the divine
plan and the eternal
purpose of the Universal Father.
9:0.3 The Infinite
Spirit, the Conjoint
Creator, is a universal and divine minister. The Spirit unceasingly ministers
the Son's mercy and the Father's love, even in harmony with the stable,
unvarying, and righteous justice of the Paradise
Trinity. His influence and
personalities are ever near you; they really know and truly understand you.
9:0.4 Throughout the universes the agencies of the Conjoint Actor ceaselessly
manipulate the forces and energies of all space. Like the First
Source and Center, the Third is responsive to both the spiritual and the material. The
Conjoint Actor is the revelation of the unity of God, in whom all things
consist—things, meanings, and values; energies, minds, and spirits.
9:0.5 The Infinite Spirit pervades all space; he indwells the circle of
eternity; and the Spirit, like the Father and the Son, is perfect and
changeless—absolute.
