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.

URANTIA BOOK—PAPER 9
9:3 THE UNIVERSAL
MANIPULATOR 9:3.1 The Isle of Paradise is the source and substance of
physical gravity; and that should be sufficient to
inform you that gravity is one of the most real and eternally
dependable things in the whole physical universe of universes. Gravity cannot be
modified or annulled except by the forces and energies conjointly sponsored
by the Father and the Son, which have been intrusted
to, and are functionally associated with, the person of the Third Source and Center. 9:3.2 The Infinite Spirit possesses a unique and amazing
power— antigravity. This power is not functionally
(observably) present in either the Father or the Son. This ability to
withstand the pull of material gravity, inherent in the Third Source, is
revealed in the personal reactions of the Conjoint Actor to certain phases of universe
relationships. And this unique attribute is transmissible to certain of the
higher personalities of the Infinite Spirit. 9:3.3 Antigravity can annul gravity within a
local frame; it does so by the exercise of equal force presence. It operates
only with reference to material gravity, and it is not the action of mind.
The gravity-resistant phenomenon of a gyroscope is a fair illustration of the
effect of antigravity but of no value to illustrate the cause of
antigravity. 9:3.4 Still further does the
Conjoint Actor display powers which can transcend force and neutralize
energy. Such powers operate by slowing down energy to the point of
materialization and by other techniques unknown to you. 9:3.5 The Conjoint Creator is not
energy nor the source of energy nor the destiny of energy; he is the manipulator
of energy. The Conjoint Creator is action—motion, change, modification,
co-ordination, stabilization, and equilibrium. The energies subject to the
direct or indirect control of Paradise are by nature responsive to the acts
of the Third Source and Center and his manifold agencies. 9:3.6 The universe of universes
is permeated by the power-control creatures of the Third Source and Center: physical controllers, power directors, power centers, and other representatives of the
God of Action who have to do with the
regulation and stabilization of physical energies. These unique creatures of
physical function all possess varying attributes of power control, such as
antigravity, which they utilize in their efforts to establish the physical
equilibrium of the matter and energies of the grand universe. 9:3.7 All these material
activities of the God of Action appear to relate his function to the Isle of 9:3.8 |
