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.
*** 9:4 THE ABSOLUTE MIND 9:4.1 There is an intellectual nature of
the Third Source and
Center that is distinct from his physical and spiritual
attributes. Such a nature is hardly contactable, but it is
associable—intellectually though not personally. It is distinguishable from
the physical attributes and the spiritual character of the Third Person on
mind levels of function, but to the discernment of personalities this nature
never functions independently of physical or spiritual manifestations. 9:4.2 The absolute mind is the mind of
the Third Person; it is inseparable from the personality
of God the Spirit.
Mind, in functioning beings, is not separated from energy or spirit, or both.
Mind is not inherent in energy; energy is receptive and responsive to mind;
mind can be superimposed upon energy, but consciousness is not inherent in
the purely material level. Mind does not have to be added to pure spirit, for
spirit is innately conscious and identifying. Spirit is always intelligent, minded
in some way. It may be this mind or that mind, it may be premind or
supermind, even spirit mind, but it does the equivalent of thinking and
knowing. The insight of spirit transcends, supervenes, and theoretically
antedates the consciousness of mind. 9:4.3 The Conjoint Creator
is absolute only in the domain of mind, in the realms of universal
intelligence. The mind of the Third Source and Center is infinite; it utterly
transcends the active and functioning mind circuits
of the universe of
universes. The mind endowment of the seven
superuniverses is derived from the Seven Master
Spirits, the primary personalities of the Conjoint Creator. These
Master Spirits distribute mind to the grand universe
as the cosmic mind,
and your local universe is pervaded by the Nebadon
variant of the Orvonton type of cosmic mind. 9:4.4 Infinite mind
ignores time, ultimate mind transcends time, cosmic mind is conditioned by
time. And so with space: The Infinite Mind
is independent of space, but as descent is made from the infinite to the
adjutant levels of mind, intellect must increasingly reckon with the fact and
limitations of space. 9:4.5 Cosmic force
responds to mind even as cosmic mind responds to spirit. Spirit is divine
purpose, and spirit mind is divine purpose in action. Energy is thing, mind
is meaning, spirit is value. Even in time and space, mind establishes those
relative relationships between energy and spirit which are suggestive of
mutual kinship in eternity. 9:4.6 Mind transmutes the values
of spirit into the meanings
of intellect; volition has power to bring the meanings of mind to fruit in
both the material and spiritual domains. The Paradise
ascent involves a relative and differential growth in personality is the
unifier of these components of experiential individuality. |
