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.
*** 9:6 THE MIND-GRAVITY CIRCUIT 9:6.1 The
Third Source and Center, the universal
intelligence, is personally conscious of every mind, every intellect, in all
creation, and he maintains a personal and perfect contact with all these
physical, morontial, and spiritual creatures of
mind endowment in the far-flung universes. All these activities of mind are
grasped in the absolute mind-gravity circuit which focalizes in the Third
Source and Center and is a part of the personal consciousness of the Infinite Spirit. 9:6.2 Much
as the Father draws all personality to himself, and as the Son
attracts all spiritual reality, so does the Conjoint Actor exercise a drawing power on
all minds; he unqualifiedly dominates and controls the universal mind
circuit. All true and genuine intellectual values, all divine thoughts and perfect
ideas, are unerringly drawn into this absolute circuit of mind. 9:6.3 Mind
gravity can operate independently of material
and spiritual gravity, but wherever and whenever the latter two impinge, mind
gravity always functions. When all three are associated, personality gravity
may embrace the material creature—physical or morontial,
finite or absonite. But irrespective of this, the
endowment of mind even in impersonal beings qualifies them to think and
endows them with consciousness despite the total absence of personality. 9:6.4 Selfhood
of personality dignity, human or divine, immortal or potentially immortal,
does not however originate in either spirit, mind,
or matter; it is the bestowal of the Universal Father. Neither is the interaction
of spirit, mind, and material gravity a prerequisite to the appearance of
personality gravity. The Father's circuit may embrace a mind-material being
who is unresponsive to spirit gravity, or it may include a mind-spirit being
who is unresponsive to material gravity. The operation of personality gravity
is always a volitional act of the Universal Father. 9:6.5 While
mind is energy associated in purely material beings and spirit associated in
purely spiritual personalities, innumerable orders of personality, including
the human, possess minds that are associated with both energy and spirit. The
spiritual aspects of creature mind unfailingly respond to the spirit-gravity
pull of the Eternal Son; the material features respond to
the gravity urge of the material universe. 9:6.6 Cosmic
mind, when not associated with either energy or spirit, is subject to the
gravity demands of neither material nor spiritual circuits. Pure mind is subject only to the
universal gravity grasp of the Conjoint Actor. Pure mind is close of kin to
infinite mind, and infinite mind (the theoretical co-ordinate of the
absolutes of spirit and energy) is apparently a law in itself. 9:6.7 The
greater the spirit-energy divergence, the greater the observable function of
mind; the lesser the diversity of energy and spirit, the lesser the
observable function of mind. Apparently, the maximum function of the cosmic mind is in the time universes of
space. Here mind seems to function in a mid-zone between energy and spirit,
but this is not true of the higher levels of mind; on Paradise, energy and spirit are essentially
one. 9:6.8 The
mind-gravity circuit is dependable; it emanates from the Third Person of Deity on 9:6.9 Certain
phases of the unpredictability of finite mind may be due to the
incompleteness of the Supreme Being, and there is a vast zone of activities
wherein the Conjoint Actor and the Universal Absolute may possibly be
tangent. There is much about mind that is unknown, but of this we are sure:
The Infinite Spirit is the perfect expression of the mind of the Creator to
all creatures; the Supreme Being is the evolving expression of the minds of
all creatures to their Creator. |
