Life, Matter, and Energy
Life and matter (or substance) are different
aspects of the one reality. Life compares to the positive proton of electricity. Matter
is like the negative electron. Life is potential action or spirit. Matter is
static form, a field of operation. Life is the father and begets. Matter is the
mother and conceives.
When life and matter combine, a third
aspect of oneness appears. In the union of life and matter, active energy flames forth.
While
energy is a single reality, it is also coexistent duality (life and matter), and a coexistent trinity (life, matter, and the
resultant interaction, which is consciousness or soul).
Everything
seen, from a grain of sand to the Milky Way, is an outgrowth of energy.
Matter
is energy in its densest or lowest form. Spirit is this same energy in its highest
or most subtle form. Matter is spirit descending. Spirit is matter ascending.
Global Changes
To widen man’s horizons and expand
his consciousness, science must synthesize the tangible and the intangible worlds. Workers
in the fields of education, science, and psychology will bring about these developments.
Man must comprehend the interrelationship
of all things. For example, scientists are now seeing the close relationship
of water and wind. Meteorologists have learned that ocean water is very sensitive
to the air currents above it that alter the temperature of ocean water. It is
the winds over the waters of the Pacific and North Atlantic oceans that trigger the cyclical weather patterns of Earth.
Huge global changes are occurring. These changes will alter man’s conditions of living, change his outlook upon
world affairs, and bring enhanced mental abilities.
Man will not only enjoy an amplification
of his thinking, but an increased aptitude for cooperation as well.
Medical Science
Today, medical science struggles to sustain
life in diseased and unfit human forms. Doctors often force the life essence
back into the body at the moment of its intended liberation. Without this misplaced
altruistic interference by man, nature would discard these disabled forms to free the soul.
In time, medical science will become purely
preventative replacing the present regimen of drugs and gross surgical procedures. The
future of surgery and the healing of disease lie in regeneration through the restructuring of DNA and the redirection of stem
cells to damaged cells within the body.
Mind
All of the various mind forces converge in the Infinite
Spirit, the third Person of the Paradise Trinity. All experiencing mind forces
in time and space converge in the Supreme, the God of Time-Space creation.
All energy is receptive and responsive
to mind.
Mind Reflectivity
The
Infinite Spirit integrates and synthesizes all levels of mental, material, and spiritual activity in the Master Universe. This integration makes possible the phenomenon of reflectivity. Mind reflectivity is the power to see, hear, sense, and know all things as they transpire throughout
the Master Universe. Specific information transmits instantly to any point in
the Master Universe.
The Father, the Son and the Infinite Spirit know the number and whereabouts of all the spirits
and spiritualized beings in the universe of universes. They are also fully cognizant of the reflectivity intelligence of the
Supreme Being, Who is always aware of all things that transpire on all the worlds of the seven super universes.
The Creative Daughter (the down stepped quality of the Infinite Spirit in this local universe)
is also aware of the thoughts of all her subjects including angels and human beings.
New Space Levels
About one-half million light-years beyond the periphery of the present universes
is a zone of immense energy activity that is steadily increasing in capacity. Four tremendous wheels of energizing forces are
forming new belts of celestial creation that completely encircle the seven super universes.
Just as the seven
super universes are the creations of time wherein the Supreme evolves, the four new outer space belts will bring forth and
evolve the God of Ultimacy with His creations. The experience of ultimacy will bring all creatures a step closer to God the
Absolute. The space arena for development of God the Absolute will occur beyond
the outer belts of the Ultimate. The creation of additional outer space levels for the Absolute suggests an ever-expanding,
never-ending universe of infinity.
Holistic Universe
Despite a state of continuing construction in the outer
universes, the universes are “whole.” No thing or being exists or
lives in isolation. Every impulse of every electron, thought, or spirit is
a vital acting unit within the holistic universe.
Only sin is isolated.
This is the reason our planet remains isolated from active participation with planets that resisted Lucifer’s
rebellion. Evil resists the upward pull of both spiritual and physical gravity
on the mental and spiritual levels.
Reality
The Universal Father is not concerned about the material
universes. He is concerned only with personalities. To the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit, as creator partners, the universes are a confined, limited
and individualized creation under the joint rule of their time and space counterparts, the Creator Sons and the Creative
Daughter Spirits.
The matter of finite creation is merely a shadowy time
and space repercussion of the patterns of Paradise and the configuring mind of the Infinite Spirit. Only personalities are real.
Origin of Life
Life does
not originate spontaneously. Architects of Being originally formulated the plans for life dispersion. Life itself flows from its source in the Father through the Son to the Infinite Spirit. The Seven Master
Spirits, who oversee the seven super universes, channel the river of life through their individual super universes. In the
local universes, the Creative Daughter Spirits vitalize the lifeless patterns on each of the planets approved for life enhancement.
The Life Carriers (who serve the Creative Daughter
Spirit) implant life on each planet. Life is not the same on any two planets as the Life Carriers work constantly to upgrade
the formulas committed to their keeping.
There are more than one million cosmic chemical formulas, which comprise the original
life patterns. In addition, there are many functional variations of the original
life patterns. In bestowing life, the Life Carriers transmit the spark of life from the local universe Creative Daughter
Spirit and start the required revolutions of matter in accordance with the physical, chemical, and electrical specifications
of the designated plans and patterns.
Central Universe Patterns
Encircling Paradise
are the one billion perfect worlds of the Central Universe. About this
perfect creation swirls the procession of evolving universes, the experiments of the Creator Sons of God.
The Creator Sons aspire to duplicate in time and to reproduce
in space the eternal perfection of The Central Universe. The Creator Sons use
the creatures of The Central Universe as personality-pattern possibilities for their own mortal children and spirit beings.
Origin of Life on Earth
After making a survey of the planet Earth, a planetary
survey commission reported favorably to the System Sovereign, Lucifer.
Earth entered the registry as an experimental life
planet. (One in every ten planets is selected as an experimental life planet.) This classification permitted the Life Carriers to initiate new patterns of mechanical,
chemical, and electrical mobilization on Earth.
Ages elapsed.
Eventually, biologic evolution on Earth achieved human levels of free will dignity approximately 993,400 years ago.
Life Organisms
Everything is energy except
life itself. The energy of space is gravity responsive. Life is not. Life is the animation of some particular pattern of matter, mind, or spirit energy.
The biological unit of material life is the protoplasmic cell. The cell
is a communal relationship of chemical, electrical, and other basic energies.
Every living organism has with an insatiable craving
for ever-greater perfection of environmental or organic adaptation.
The effort towards an augmented life never ends. It evidences an innate striving for perfection.
The grand universe is mechanical as well as alive,
however. Both mechanical components and living individuals evolve as a “reflection” of the total evolution of
the Supreme. The Supreme is the synthesis of all universe evolution.
Parallel Development of Life and Mind
On an evolutionary world, mind evolution depends upon
the work of the Seven Adjutant Mind Spirits.
The seven adjutants are mind ministers. They are allied with but distinct from the Life Carriers who are concerned only with physical evolution.
Mortal Mind
Human consciousness rests lightly upon the electro-chemical
mechanism in the body below and gently touches the spirit-soul energy system above. The human being is never completely conscious
of either of these lower and higher systems.
Mortal mind is a short-lived intellect system loaned
temporarily to human beings for use during a material lifetime. Mind is the only thing mortals posses of cosmic reality that
is subject to personal will. The soul tracks all of the temporal decisions that
the mortal self makes.
Mind and Matter
In the subjective experience of man, mind
joins with matter.
Minds linked to matter cannot survive
mortal death.
Adjustments in human thinking condoned
by human will break the linkage to matter. These transformations in the mortal
mind facilitate the teaching and leadership by the spiritual Thought Adjuster. The evolution of the human mind from matter to
spirit results in the transmutation of the mortal mind into the immortal soul.
A maximum of light and truth can be imparted to a poised
mind, housed in a body of clean habits, with stabilized neural energies, and balanced chemical function.
Mortal mind that remains subservient
to matter becomes increasingly material and eventually undergoes personality extinction.
Mind and Soul
Mind is the thinking, perceiving, and feeling mechanism of the human organism. The soul is the self-reflective,
truth-discerning, and spirit-perceiving part of man that elevates the human being above the level of the animal world.
A fragment of the Absolute Father (the
Thought Adjuster) dwells within the human mind. The Spirit of Truth (a force
of the Creator Son of this local universe) lives within the human soul if invited by the individual. These two spiritual forces of the Thought Adjuster and the Creator Son combine making it possible for material
man to comprehend spiritual values and universe meanings. Spiritual values (qualities) are emotions. Mind
knows meaning (quantity).
Mortal Brains and Glands
All mortals are of animal origin. They may be of the
one-brained, two-brained, or three-brained types. Earthlings are of the two-brained type, superior to the one-brained groups
but inferior to the three-brained orders.
Similarly, there are also three groups of mind designs. These classifications categorize the chemistry and organization of certain glands
such as the pituitary. Mortals of earth are in the two-gland category.
Glandular endowment greatly influences imagination
and spiritual receptivity. At any moment, the blood stream of a type two human being has the possibility of 15,000,000 chemical
reactions between the hormone outputs of a dozen ductless glands.
Spiritual Truth
Neither formulas nor facts can imprison
truth.
Individuals cannot perceive spiritual truth
until they experience it emotionally. Many truths are only felt and learned in adversity or crisis.
The veracity of information
exchanged by evolving personalities is only relatively true. Certainty is a condition of individual personal experience. That
which appears wholly true in one place may be only relatively true in another part of creation.
Non-Truth in Science
The erratic and deceitful proclivities of Earth’s
profit motivated materialistic scientists would banish these mortals from society in other segments of the universe. The dissemination
of incomplete and biased knowledge is evil.
Divine truth is replete and symmetrical.
The Father discloses
himself (all) to every mortal to the degree of that person’s capacity to understand the qualities of truth, beauty,
and goodness. Man's talent and ability should be devoted to the development and the heightening of his powers of mind.
Every provision
is made to qualify personalities of the universe for advancing service and enhanced function.
Control of the Universes
The Absolute Deity activates the unified and coordinated universes whether finished, under construction, or yet to
begin construction.
The Unqualified Absolute mechanizes the universes.
The Unqualified Absolute lacks personality, divinity, and all creator choices.
The finite can coexist in the cosmos with the Infinite
only because the Universal Absolute (the Infinite Spirit of the Paradise Trinity) equalizes the tension between the Deity
Absolute (Spirit) and the Unqualified Absolute (energy-matter). The Universal
Absolute also equalizes the tensions between time and eternity, potential and actual, Paradise and space, man and God.
Deity
Absolute is existential deity experientializing in time and space as God the Absolute. On this super creative level, Deity
experience exhaustion of potential, encounters completion of divinity, and depletes the capacity for self-revelation. At some point, Deity experiences identity with the Unqualified Absolute. Energy-matter personifies and deifies.
Energy
All physical force, energy, and matter
are one. Even thought is energy.
Primary Master Force Organizers manipulate the basic
space energies of the Unqualified Absolute. These force organizers change pre-energy
into primary energy by removing it from the grasp of the Unqualified Absolute and placing it in the gravity grasp of the Isle
of Paradise. The Primary Master Force Organizers create the nebulae of the universes.
The entire universe of universes is a living organism.
Neurological intelligence circuits penetrate the entire material and living universe organism just as the network of neural
sensation paths traverse the human body. Similarly, energy lanes permeate the physical universe in the same way the human
body energizes by means of the circulatory distribution of energy products in blood.
Directly beneath the location of the Trinity,
in the central portion of lower Paradise, is the Zone of Infinity. The inner
portion of this force center acts as a heart whose beat direct currents to the outermost borders of all physical space. All
force-energy originates in lower Paradise and returns there after completing its space circuit.
Associate force organizers succeed the Primary Force
Organizers in the lower dimensions of time-space where the change of energy continues from the primary through the secondary
or gravity-energy stage.
Cosmic Respiration
All space alternately contracts and expands in cycles
of one billion earth years. These are cycles of space respiration. This respiration
affects both the horizontal and the vertical extensions of space that exist in hourglass shaped space reservoirs above and
below Paradise.
Occupied space is now approaching the mid-point of
the expanding phase, while unprepared space is nearing the mid-point of the contracting phase.
The outermost limits of both space extensions are now almost equidistant from Paradise.
Organization of Energy
There are one hundred octaves of wave energy in the
seventh super universe. Of the one hundred, sixty-four are in some measure recognized on Earth, which is a minute speck within
the seventh super universe.
The rays of earth’s sun constitute four octaves
of wave energy in the super universe scale. The visible rays of the sun occupy
a single octave, number forty-six in the series of sixty-four. The ultraviolet group comes next. Ten octaves above the ultraviolet rays are the x-rays, followed by the gamma rays of radium. Thirty-two
octaves above the visible light of the sun are the outer-space energy rays that frequently commingle with energized particles
of infinitesimal matter.
Downward from visible sunlight appear the infrared
rays. Thirty octaves below the infrared rays are the radio transmission group.
Consciousness
Animal, vegetable, and mineral
consciousness differs from the human consciousness in many ways, but the primary difference is that human consciousness possesses
a unique identity. The soul provides human identity.
The energy of Life synthesizes
biological mobilization and consciousness.
Cycles of Creation
Gravity and the absence of heat (cold) organize and
hold matter together. Heat and antigravity disrupt matter and dissipate energy.
Power directors and force organizers control and direct
the endless metamorphoses of universe making, unmaking, and remaking. Nebulae may disperse, suns burn out, systems vanish,
and planets perish, but the universes do not run down.
The seven super universes have manifested in succession. While the seventh super universe age is finishing, the four outer ring universes are
spinning up for future activity.
Sevens and Tens
The number seven is key to the spiritual system. The number ten, the decimal system, is inherent in energy, matter, and material creation.
The atomic world of matter replicates a periodic characterization, which recurs in groups of seven. This repetition of sevens is a birthmark of spiritual origin in the seven relationships of the Trinity: one, Father; two, Son; three, Infinite Spirit; four, Father-Son; five, Father-Infinite
Spirit; six, Son-Infinite Spirit; and seven, all integrated.
Arranging the basic chemical elements in order of their
atomic weights reveals a recurrence of similar physical and chemical properties in separated groups of seven. When arranged
in a row, any given quality or property tends to recur by sevens. While this periodic change by sevens recurs diminishingly
and with variations throughout the entire chemical table, it is most apparent in the earlier or lighter atomic groupings.
Starting from any one element, after noting some one property, such a quality will change for six consecutive elements, but
on reaching the eighth, it tends to reappear, that is, the eighth chemically active element resembles the first, the ninth
the second, and so on. There are also seven colors in the natural spectrum.
The plan of universe organization relies upon sevens and tens. It provides for the following units:
Super universes.........................................7
Major sectors ..........................................70
Minor sectors .......................................7,000
Local universes ...................................700,000
Constellations ...................................70,000,000
Local systems …............................7,000,000,000
Inhabitable planets .....................7,000,000,000,000
Each of the seven super universes is decimally
constituted, as follows:
One system embraces, approximately ...............1,000 worlds
One constellation (100 systems) .........…….....100,000 worlds
One local universe (100 constellations) .........10,000,000 worlds
One minor sector (100 universes)........…….1,000,000,000 worlds
One super universe (10 major sectors).…..1,000,000,000,000 worlds
All design numbers are approximations,
for new structures are constantly evolving while some organizations of matter are temporarily passing out of material existence.
Undiscovered Planets
Science has not discovered all of the Intra-Mercurial
planets or those in the orbit of Neptune. In addition there are innumerable planets in obscuration
or planets in the formation stage and not yet luminous.
Better instrumentation will enable astronomers to measure the heat of the remotest of
visible stars as well as to detect unseen stars and planets by their invisible radiations.
Paradise and the Unqualified Absolute
Paradise is not in space. It is absolutely at rest and space exists relative to Paradise. The period of motion is also determined through Paradise relationship.
Paradise exists at the focus of space. The energy matter of the Unqualified Absolute pervades space, and all relative existence
has its being within the domain of space.
Duration and Evolution
In time and space,
many activities terminate. Actually, there are no endings, but merely transitions
from one phase of development to another. The primary clock of the master universe is the ages of the seven universes. However,
even these basic divisions of sequence relationships cannot be more than relative landmarks on the unending highway of eternity.
The deity levels
extending from the Paradise Trinity to the Creator Sons compensates for the imperfection,
which is inherent in the time lag of evolution. Evolution is creativity in time. The
time lag provided by evolution makes creature participation in divine creation possible.
This cooperation in creation is seen when the material mind of the mortal creature becomes a partner with the divine
Adjuster in the mutual formation of the immortal soul.
When man and God enter into partnership, the possibilities are unlimited. Today each person
is passing through a period of courtship with his or her Father fragment, the Thought Adjuster. If he or she can prove faithful to the trust reposed in them, there will eventually ensue fusion, oneness
of a being so perfect and final that the separate identities are not recognizable.
Dominance of Spirit over Matter
On the absolute level, spirit is dominant. In the
realms of time and space, wherever a divine spirit reality is present, or whenever a real spirit-mind is functioning, a subordinate
material counterpart or shadow of that spirit reality manifests.
Personality
Personality is unique. There are no duplicates.
Personality is changeless in the presence of constant change. It discerns
morality conduct levels and selectively discriminates between them. Personality
can make a gift to God by dedicating its free will to the doing of the will of God.
As personality
passes upward and inward to the transcendental levels, time and space increasingly approaches the timeless and space less
concepts of the Absolutes.
Impact of Personality
If all creation
were simply a vast aggregation of physical matter controlled by precise laws with unvarying energy reactions, then perfection
would prevail despite the incomplete status of the universe. Personality dominates creation.
It is a personal and volitionally progressive universe, not a purely mechanical or passively perfect universe.
Conditions in the Central Universe
Spirits live on spheres of a material nature just
as mortals do. However, while the Central Universe worlds are actual and literal, the substance differs from the matter of
the planets of the seven super universes.
The physical realities of the Central Universe represent
an order of energy organization radically different from any existing in the evolutionary universes of space. Central Universe
energies are threefold (a Trinity creation). The super universes are the dual
creation of the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit. Thus super universe units
of energy-matter contain a twofold energy charge. One form of this energy exists
in negative and positive phases. The creation of a local universe is also twofold, by a Creator Son and a Creative Daughter
Spirit.
None of the physical beings of the central universe
would be visible to mortals. Neither would any of the physical stimuli of those worlds excite a reaction in human sense organs.
In the Central Universe, a
mortal would be deaf, blind, and lacking in all sense reactions.
Spirit or Quality
Spirit is
synonymous with quality. Science is interested in quantity. Quality relies upon subjective mind interpretation. Therefore,
it must remain an experience of the individual.
Initially, life
was a struggle for existence. Now, the life struggle is for a standard of living. The next life struggle will be for quality of thinking, the future goal of human existence.
The manifestation
of greatness (quality) on a world like Earth is the demonstration of self-control and unselfishness revealed in labor for
the welfare of one's fellows, especially worthy beings in need and in distress.
Spiritual Evolution
Mortal man is no
evolutionary accident. There is a precise system of universal law, which determines the unfolding of the life plan on the
spheres of space. The purpose of cosmic evolution is to achieve the unity of
personality and spirit through volitional acceptance of the teaching and leading of the Thought Adjuster.
Mankind evolves
by the technique of experience. Mortal man on Earth is passing through a great
age of expanding horizons and enlarging concepts. His cosmic philosophy must
accelerate to keep pace with the expansion of human thought. As the cosmic consciousness of mortal man expands, he perceives
the interrelatedness of material science, intellectual philosophy, and spiritual insight.
Mortal man’s
evolution resembles the growth of the Supreme. Man consciously grows from the material toward the spiritual by the strength,
power, and persistency of his own decisions. Once the soul comes into being,
it begins its own growth.
Man is created
out of the Supreme. His derives his life from the potentiality of the Supreme.
While the Supreme does not evolve man, He is the very essence of evolution. Mortals live, move, and have their being within
the immanence of the Supreme.
The great struggle of this universe age is between
the actual and the potential. Regardless
of how divergent the universe phenomena of fact (objective) and value (subjective) appear, they are unified in the Supreme.
Mechanical creation
moves on inexorably in accordance with the unfolding purpose of the Paradise Father, but the volitional creation has the choice of accepting or rejecting the
role of personality participation in the adventure of eternity. To the extent that any human refuses to take part in the Paradise ascent, the Supreme is delayed to that extent in achieving divinity expression in the grand
universe.
Time and Space
The energy of time is emitted from upper Paradise
into the super universes thereby providing the inhabitants of time and space with a sense of past, present, and future. The energy-matter of space is discharged from nether Paradise
flooding the super universes with matter. The energy of time, assisted by Paradise gravity-induced motion, slows or accelerates the energy of matter into different
evolutionary forms. When the energies of the universe are slowed down they acquire
the requisite degree of motion and become mass.
Time and space enable finite creatures to coexist in the cosmos with the Absolute. While time and space limit the range of finite action, no creature could exist without
this insulation.
Time is a succession of instants while space is a system of associated points. Man co-ordinates
these two dissimilar conceptions by the integrating insight of personality. Of the entire animal world, only man possesses
this time-space perceptibility. To an animal, motion has a meaning, but motion exhibits value only to a creature of personality
status.
Space comes the nearest of all non-absolute things to being absolute. The difficulty in
understanding space on the material level is because material bodies exist in space, but space also exists within these same
material bodies.
There is no time on Paradise and those Paradise spirit
forms lacking personality take no space.
Mortal and other non-absolute forms both take up space and consume time. Matter is atomic energy that radiates. Time is life
energy that also radiates. The energies of time and matter are united by Mind
energy that also radiates. Radiation is seen or measured on scales containing octaves far above and below mortal senses and
comprehension.
Time and Space are engendered at the level of the Creator Son and the Creative Daughter. The Creator Sons are immune to time while the Creative Daughter is not limited by
the handicap of space. Time and Space are echoed sexually at the physical level
as electricity and magnetism, or (+) and (-).
Energy Formulas
Gods, angels, men, animals, insects, vegetables, minerals and elements,
kingdoms and groups, are all specified in energy formulas. A triple formula that
conveys the vibration (the proportion of inertia, activity, and of rhythm found in every form) describes every expression
of life.
Science is gradually becoming aware of the existence of the formulas that
provide information relative to the specific gravity, constitution, radiation, magnetic pull, heat and light of any sun, solar
system, or constellation.
Composition of Man
The body
of man is a living electrochemical mechanism of animal nature and origin. Mind
is the thinking, perceiving, and feeling mechanism of the human organism, the total conscious and unconscious experience. The personality of mortal man is not body, mind, spirit, nor soul. Personality is
the quality bestowed by God the Father upon some living energy systems of matter, mind, or spirit. The
personality form is the arrangement of energies, and this, plus life and motion, is the mechanism of creature existence.
The soul of man
is acquired through experience. The substance of the soul is neither material nor spiritual.
It is super material, a level of matter between the material and the spiritual.
In time, man's
body is as real as mind, soul, or spirit. At death, man’s personality may
survive with its identity in the soul. The Thought Adjuster and the personality are changeless, but the relationship between
them (in the soul) is constant change, continuing experiential evolution. If
this change (growth) ceased, the soul would cease to exist.
Physical and Spiritual Gravities
The focal point
of physical gravity is the Isle of Paradise. All of the descending radiations from Paradise through all of the intermediate stages to matter
respond to the gravity pull of Paradise. Every form of cosmic reality has the swing of the
great ellipse introduced by Paradise.
Space is not responsive
to gravity. It acts to balance the forces of gravity. Without the cushion of
space, explosive action would jolt adjoining space bodies in their orbits.
Spirit substance
(the essence of quality) responds to spirit gravity just as physical matter (the essence of quantity) responds to physical
gravity.
Enabling Altruism through Science
Primitive man could feel generous in sharing fire embers with his neighbor because they cost him nothing. With spiritual evolution, scientific companies will someday be equally altruistic in sharing the
fire of technical thought.
Programmers are presently writing code for the powerful quantum computer that uses the spinning nuclei programs of
atoms to represent the 1’s and 0’s of binary code. Science some day
will program the polar pluses and negatives of molecules as nature does.
Nature has programmed molecules to raise water from the roots to the leaves in trees.
Water molecules stick together because each molecule has positive and negative charged poles that form hydrogen bonds
with the poles of the opposite charge on other water molecules.
Water evaporating from leaves provides a departing tug on the water molecules still in the leaves. Since all of the water molecules in the tree are connected by hydrogen bonds, the tug extends via the xylem
system in the canopy all of the way down to the roots. The sun induces the lifting
of the water powered by evaporation.
An emulation of this use of solar power will one day replace the regressive fire of atomic power.
Basic Units of Energy
Energy and matter are different
manifestations of the same cosmic reality. The basic units of energy escape out into space from the suns to engage in the adventure of electronic
association and energy materialization.
The great energy losses in the
early days of a sun, subsequent to its attainment of maximum temperature (up to 35,000,000 degrees) are due to the leakage
of these basic particles of energy-matter. The temperature of 35,000,000 degrees of heat with certain gravity pressures is the electronic boiling point. Under
such pressure and at such temperature, all atoms are degraded and broken up into their electronic and other ancestral components,
but the suns are not able to degrade the basic energy units, the evolving fragments of the Unqualified Absolute.
Grasping the Whole
Like mortals on all planets, the
mortals of earth are adrift in an ocean of energies. Man should visualize himself
in a world of vibrating points of force that collectively constitute all forms of life. While the image is difficult for our
physical minds, it is a fact. Each form is a universe in itself, and all forms
are alive, vibrating with divine activity.
Man uses the word "energy" to express
this activity, but he is unable to pass beyond this point. Energy is alive. Its
activity is sensed and known. A vast series of atomic lives are built up into structure after structure. Everything is in ceaseless motion. Each structure is a vibrant
organism. And so there unfolds nothing but life and activity, nothing but
motion and energy, but always with coherence, ordered purpose, a growing synthesis, and a plan.
The coming new sciences will carry
mortals within the form or forms, and enable us to penetrate to the quality (spiritual) aspect. There are energies that lie behind the phenomena produced by the activity of the atomic structures. These
are unseen and unfelt. They are subjective forms, profound thought.
The new sciences will have one
purpose. That purpose will be to produce the gradual emergence of these energies
so that skilled thinkers can work in a dual yet unified world of force that functions as one.
Organic Matter
Once the Creative Daughter of our
local universe triggers the inert matter of a planet into life through the action of Her Life Carrier Sons, everything lives. At that instant, there is no such thing as inorganic matter. All living things are part of the One Reality. Only time separates the forms of life from perfection achievement.
The academic expression, “inorganic
substance,” simply means that the latent consciousness slumbering in the molecules of so-called inert matter is beyond
human comprehension and perception. Life is everywhere in the universes when
impregnated by the Life Carriers. Wherever there is an atom of matter, a particle,
or a molecule, even in its most gaseous condition, there is life in it, however latent.
While everything lives and is conscious
under the umbrella of the Creative Daughter, all life and consciousness is not similar to the human. Life is the only form of existence
appearing in matter. Life and consciousness are not synonymous. Life is provided
by the Life Carriers. Consciousness is present in the basic particles of matter
and it is continually upgraded by the Adjutant Mind Spirits. Both are representatives
of the Creative Daughter.
Matter is the vehicle for the manifesting
of soul. Soul is the vehicle for the manifesting
of spirit.
At the higher levels in time and
space, life is generated and maintained by the associates of the Trinity of Father, Son, and Infinite Spirit. The Infinite Spirit animates atoms of matter. The Son animates
the forms, which are aggregates of atoms. The Father synthesizes the combination
by providing the animation of Life.
Life abounds in the universes. In seeing the tens of millions of suns and constellations
the modern telescopes reveal, we
are seeing the existence of many times that number of intelligent existences.
The astounding numbers of the visible
habitats of these existences are only those
universes and super universes that
are lighted. Only one of the seven super universes is in manifestation at a time. Six-sevenths are unlighted waiting their turn to manifest again when with the turning
of the great wheel better conditions eventuate.
Levels of Consciousness
Consciousness is reality. Everything that is thought exists. That
consciousness in which everything is potential as well as actual is Absolute Consciousness.
Absolute Consciousness is the All, the Infinite, the Changeless.
Supreme Consciousness deals with
definite periods, however long or short, and with definite space, however vast or restricted.
Supreme consciousness is individual whether it appears in a human being or the lord of a universe.
The entire Universe of Universes
is an aggregation of states of consciousness. Every atom on every planet is endowed
with consciousness.
Consciousness in our solar system
is characterized by emotion, feeling, and sensation that eventually transmutes into intuition, spiritual perception, and unity.
On Earth, six types of consciousness
are embodied within the kingdoms of nature. At the lower level, atoms show the
ability to select and to intelligently discriminate under the law of attraction and repulsion.
Inhabitants of the vegetable kingdom
show the intelligent activity of the mineral kingdom
while adding a minimum level of
sensation or feeling. Residents of the animal kingdom reveal intelligent activity,
sensation, and add instinct, or embryo mentality. The levels of consciousness
in the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms embody all that comprises sub-human consciousness.
Mortals display intelligent activity
that is the perfecting feeling of love, plus realization or intelligent purpose, and will. These are the qualities of Trinity,
the self-consciousness of the soul.
When
the Creative Daughter becomes "space conscious," she organizes a circumscribed space domain as her own, a realm in which to
be space free as distinguished from all other space wherein she would not prevail. Analogously, a mortal is free to choose
and act within the realm of his growing consciousness. Growth and development in any part of the solar system is reason for celebration since any growth
of a part produces a corresponding advance in the whole. No man can make progress
without benefiting his brother. Great incentive to effort lies in this integrated
structure. Any entity that struggles to attain an expansion of consciousness
has an effect (in ever widening spirals) upon all whom he contacts: angels, men, and animals.
While the individual may not be aware of the subtle stimulating emanation, which proceeds from him, the law works.
The Fall into Time and Space
Human beings are intelligences
who have reached the equilibrium between spirit
and matter. On the descending arc of the fall through devolution, the fragment of the Infinite Spirit becomes material. On the middle turn at the base of the arc spirit and matter meet in man. Present day man is at the base of the arc. On the ascending
arc, spirit asserts itself at the expense of the material. In man, mind links
spirit and matter.
Forms
Every form (which is an aggregate
of atoms), is actually a force center produced by the action of positive force (spirit) interacting with negative energy or
matter.
A form is the vitality of the Creator
Son of our local universe working in conjunction
with the Creative Daughter Spirit
to produce the illusion that temporarily blazes forth and creates the impression that matter is a concrete something.
Involutionary Stages
There is no such thing as concretion
in reality. There is only the interplay of forces produced on multiple planes
of consciousness in time and space.
The totality of lesser lives on the planet running down through all of the kingdoms (animal, vegetable, and mineral)
forms the living body of the visible planet. All forms on all planes are made
of lesser angel substance. The lesser lives are divisible into two types: those on the involutionary arc, such as the chemical elements; and those on the evolutionary
arc, such as in the animal kingdom.
Form is the model nature uses to
do its external work. A divine “idea” passes from the abstract
to the concrete form. The objective is an emanation of the subjective.
An impulse of spirit energy causes
objectivity, the spirit shadow. Life precedes form, as the soul is ever present
in time and space.
Spirit evolves through and out
of form. Form imprisons spirit, so forms are the battleground. The higher angels (seraphim) hear the divine thought and construct the forms from the substance of the
lesser angels. Together, the two angel groups are the totality of the substance
of the planetary planes. One form combines all forms. This is the Supreme Being.
Lesser Angel Builders
The great stages of involution
and evolution are replete with relationships in every level of creation. For
example man’s blood system with its two types of channels (arteries and veins) reveals its two types of lesser
angel builders, the red, and the white corpuscles.
Three types of angel builders are
required for the functioning of the heart and the circulatory system: the heart, the arteries, and the veins. These three types of lesser angel builders comprise a systemic triangle that signals the presence of the
three modes of Trinity expression.
Correspondingly, there is a planetary
as well as a solar circulation. These circulatory routes are also constructed
using the medium of angel substance. Soon, the corresponding paths of outgoing and return energy circulation within and between
solar systems using the same groups of lesser angel lives will be apprehended by man.
Like angels, men, animals, and
plants, lesser angel builders also evolve. The lesser angel builders of densest
matter evolve to become the angel matter of the waters. The angels of the waters
of the physical plane eventually find their way, through service, on to the gaseous sub plane. This evolution constitutes
a transmutation of desire into thought.
Aura
Each human has a distinctive
atmosphere, an energy field, surrounding the central nucleus of his incarnated soul.
The human soul is a fragment of the over-shadowing soul of the Supreme that brought us into manifestation. This aura
is composed of the emanations of the soul.
The super material body
of the soul embodies three types of energy for which each individual is responsible. The three types of energy are the physical
body aura, the emotional aura and, the mental aura. Each of us lives, moves, and has our being in a threefold aura. This living aura is the recording agent of all our impressions, both objective and subjective.
Electricity
and Magnetism
There is nothing in nature
that is not held together by either electricity or magnetism.
Wherever light, motion,
heat, and friction appear, electricity and its alter ego
Magnetism also appears
as either cause or effect.
All the phenomena of earth
currents, terrestrial magnetism, and atmospheric electricity
occur because the earth is
a conductor of electricity. The potential of the earth as an electric conductor
changes constantly due to its rotation, its orbital motion, the successive cooling and heating of the air, the formation of
clouds, rain, storms and winds. All of these changes are due to magnetism, which
constantly generates electric currents to restore the disturbed equilibrium.
The sun too is electro-magnetic. It is not a solid, a liquid, or a gaseous glow.
Rather, the sun is a massive sphere of electro-magnetic forces, a storehouse of life and motion,
electricity and magnetism.
The electro-magnetic forces of the sun pulsate in all directions feeding the smallest atom and humans with the same energies.
The
Energy Centers in Man
Man receives energies for
living through seven centers. These centers are located
in man’s ethereal
body (the soul) not the physical body. The soul is composed entirely of “threads
of force.” These invisible threads penetrate our outer physical body and
nervous system.
The growth of consciousness
is directly related to the receptivity of the centers.
Greater receptivity in
the seven centers is marked by quicker advancement through the seven circles of mortal and cosmic progress.
Man’s three vehicles
(the physical, emotional, and mental bodies) are an aggregate of lesser lives dependent upon him for their group nature, for
their type of activity, and their collective response. These lesser lives will
themselves later be raised to the human stage. The lesser lives receive energy
emanations from man just as man receives them from the sun.
Evolutionary
Stages
Everything in life is evolving
upwards and inwards to a more perfect state. The process of adjusting the matter
aspect to the spirit aspect is accomplished through countless cycles within time and space.
During the life cycle of
a man he expresses what is in him at his particular stage. He gradually develops from the stage of life in the womb where
guardian angels hover in the soul overshadowing the matter aspect until the time when the Thought Adjuster takes possession
(at about age six). The accomplishment of all stages beyond age seven depends upon the volition of each individual.
Each life of lesser cycles
within the great cycle of the soul sees the life expression developing a greater conscious realization of the Thought Adjuster. Eventually, there begins a culminating cycle of lives in which the Thought Adjuster
rapidly dominates, and takes full authority.
Ultimately, the fusion
of the two opposite poles of spirit and matter is brought about. The path, which
is the evolutionary distance between the negative and the positive poles, has been traversed.
The Secret of Translation
The continuing development
of consciousness and the heightened sense of awareness produce an inner demand for improved equipment. The improvement of equipment because of the demand of consciousness is the secret of the evolutionary impulse.
The inner demand in man
awakens the centers. The awakening of the centers determines the response of
the endocrine system. The glands of the endocrine system govern the nervous system
in its threefold capacity, as well as the blood stream.
The outer form indicates
the point of evolution of the inner subjective spiritual man. When man understands the elevating power of aspiration, he can
begin to work with the secret of translation. Aspiration is not an emotional
attitude. It is a scientific process
governing evolution itself.
The effect of aspiration,
when followed by right action, is to stimulate the higher atoms
of the physical, emotional,
and mental bodies. The magnetic attractive power of the higher atoms, attract
atoms of high vibration to themselves to replace those of low vibration.
Integration
of Man’s Bodies
The seven centers of force
in man hold the physical, emotional, and mental bodies in one coherent whole, coordinating them and causing their vitalization. The three bodies of man consist of millions of infinitesimal cells. Each cell embodies a lesser life. Each cell
is in constant activity
and is repulsing other cells to preserve its individuality or identity. Still
while each cell is fighting for its individuality, it is held to every other cell by the central attractive force.
The
Senses
The senses are not the
physical organs, i.e. the nose, ears, et al. The senses are the faculty of mind
that uses a sense organ as its instrument to detect, select, and synthesize. Man’s
normal experience in life is in the material world that he sees and contacts by means of his five senses. This is the objective world. The senses enable man to become
aware of his surroundings in the objective world. The senses also enable the
soul to investigate the gross physical plane.
The senses allow the individual
to realize his separate self-consciousness, to promote his self-conscious evolution, and serve as a source of his knowledge. The senses develop sequentially. The
order of development from birth for the five senses is hearing, touch, sight, taste, and smell.
Hearing gives man an idea
of relative direction. It enables him to locate himself in the scheme of things.
Man hears only a small range of the sound vibrations that impinge upon his ears. Touch gives man an idea of relative quantity
and enables him to fix his value relative to bodies extraneous to himself. Sight
gives man an idea of proportion and enables him to adjust his movements to the movements of others. Taste gives man an idea of value and enables him to select that which appears best. Smell gives man an idea of innate quality and enables him to find that which appeals to him as being of
the same quality or essence as himself.
Of the various cause and
effect capabilities wielded by man in molding himself and his surroundings, speech is the most important. Human sound or language contains all the elements required to actuate the various classes of lesser angels
who comprise air, fire, water, and earth. The powerful elements of language are
the vowels and the consonants with their respective inclination for the spiritual (vowels) or material (consonant) ends.
Mind and the Senses
Mind
is the pivot of the human structure. Mind is the center on which the spiritual
and material parts of man turn. Mind is directed into the human brain for illumination
by the adjutant mind spirits
giving the brain thought, desire, and memory. The acquisition of mind is the
turning point in the human cycle.
Mind is acquired in two
phases, higher and lower. Higher mind attains and experiences spiritual heights. Lower mind is the soul that completes personification.
Mind
facilitates the battle between the forces contained in the microcosm of man. The
stage of evolution man has reached is the starting point of the great struggle between matter and spirit. Man lives in a minefield. The personality receives worldly experience through sensations aroused by sensed
objects. If correctly (spiritually) interpreted, the sensations provide a pathway
through the minefield.
Radiation
Radiation is the effect
produced by all forms when their internal action reaches a stage of vibratory activity that dissolves the imprisoning walls
of the form. Radiation permits the escape of the subjective essence (the soul).
Radiation marks a specific
point of attainment in the evolutionary process. This is true
of all forms in the mineral,
the vegetable, the animal, the human, and in the divine kingdoms.
In human evolution the
release through radiation is the moment of fusion of the personality with the Thought Adjuster.
The
Lower Kingdoms
The mineral kingdom is
the densest point of concretion of the abstract. The vegetable kingdom is unique
in the economy of our solar system as it transmits the light energy that is vital to all lives.
Though the mineral kingdom
has a consciousness of its own, sensation is more recognizable in the vegetable kingdom.
The distinction between
the consciousnesses of the mineral kingdom and that of the animal kingdom is so vast that their respective consciousnesses
are barely related.
The vegetable kingdom is
the bridge between the mineral kingdom and the animal kingdom.
Force and Energy
In reality, there is no
such thing as matter. There is only force in varying degrees.
There is only energy of
differing quality, only Lives emanating from different sources.
Our solar system is seven
graded states of matter that meet one another in a delicately graded
sequence of interpenetrating vibrations. Each of the major planes is subdivided
into seven sub planes. The seven sub planes of the major physical plane are grouped
into a higher three, a lower three, and a central plane, the fourth that serves to harmonize the higher and lower planes. The three higher sub planes are home to the more evolved forces (lives). The three lower planes contain the lesser forces or lives such as humans and the kingdoms below humans.
Illusion of Time and Space
Time is described as the
moving image of eternity. Space is the fleeting shadow of Paradise realities. Despite the cleverness of the illusion, time is not reality, but it does imprison
entities in symbolic forms.
Space is how and where consciousness
utilizes matter. Space for a man is the radius of his consciousness. The area of
space used by a man for working out his purposes may be very circumscribed as in the case of the little evolved. It is relatively large in the case of a highly evolved man.
Elasticity of Time
Time is the measure in which
a particular period begins, continues, and ends, as related to the awareness of some being.
Time is flexible since it runs at different speeds on different universe levels.
For example, the standard day on the headquarters of the local universe
is approximately eighteen days and six hours of Earth time.
The great expanse of time may be
viewed by comparing a human life to that of our sun.
The life cycle of our sun will
be about 311,040,000,000,000 mortal years. As great as the period of the sun’s age seems to be, thousands and thousands
of millions of such ages have passed in our universe and as many more are yet to come.
This means
that time past is infinite. Time to come is equally infinite.
Mortal Death
Death is an entrance into a fuller
life with freedom from the handicaps of the vehicle of flesh. There is nothing
to dread about death. (Some sensation may be felt in the case of violent and
sudden death as there may be an instant of imminent peril that feels like an electric shock.)
For the lesser evolved, death
is literally a sleep and a forgetting for the mind is not sufficiently awake to react. The storehouse of memory is empty.
Cosmic Life Extinction
When mercy for a non-conforming rebel is exhausted,
justice prevails. When the life extinction sentence is confirmed, that entity instantly becomes as though he had not been.
The living energy factors of identity are resolved by the transformations of time and the metamorphoses of space into the
cosmic potentials from which they emerged. The personality is deprived of a continuing life vehicle.
Sex
Male and female are the positive
and negative aspects of creation. Male is a positive electrical quality. Female is a negative, magnetic, and receptive quality.
The positive quality of the male is power. The female magnetically draws
this power to herself. A spark of combustion occurs and force is generated.
The entire universe from the smallest
chemical cell to the Creator Partners of the local universe is built upon the anticipated or actual fusion of opposites of
male and female. Fusion is the creative process and sex is demonstrated at all
levels in all kingdoms. For example, sex is seen chemically masked in the cells
in the positive power quality of the acids and the negative magnetic quality of the alkalis.
Sex is symbolically represented
by the triangle. In the creative process, the duality of male and female (or
positive and negative) synthesize into a third being.
The Sex Problem
Humanly speaking, sex is the word
used to denote the relation between men and women, which results in the reproduction of the species. Until the introduction of better birth control techniques, sex meant primarily the assuaging of the male’s
physical appetite through the prostitution of the feminine aspect. This relationship did not lead to the intended result,
but only to a momentary satisfaction of the animal nature.
Sex is actually an expression of
duality, of the separation of a unity into two aspects or halves. We may call
these halves spirit and matter, male and female, or positive and negative.
Sexual Correctness
From the beginning, God has
ordained that men and women should meet each other's needs and act as complements to each other. The belief that spiritual discipleship necessitates a celibate life and abstinence from all natural functions
is neither correct nor desirable. A life is not normally rounded out until all
the functions of its nature - animal, human, and divine are exercised. Otherwise
that life is frustrated, inhibited, and abnormal.
Required celibacy is an indicator
of neither deep spirituality nor a necessary part of spiritual training. The
best training school for a spiritual ministry is family life with its enforced relations, its demands for sacrifices and service,
and its opportunities for the full expression of every part of man's nature.
There is no greater service to
be rendered to the Father than the offering of new bodies
to incoming souls and the giving
of attention and educational facilities to those souls within the home.
Love and Sex
The words love and sex convey the
relationship and the union between God and His universe, between man and God, between a man and his soul, and between men
and women.
When spirit and matter met,
the universes came into being. The Christ was born. When an individual man and
his soul come together, the Christ is born again in the heart of the man. When
a man and a woman come together, a new child of the Father is born. Sex symbolizes
all these wonders.
Sexual Stimulation
Man is many energies. These energies stimulate the physical man into activity through the medium of force centers in the ethereal
body of the soul. These centers coincide with glands and organs in the physical body.
Two fusions must take place
for man to progress spiritually. First, the energies below the diaphragm have to be “lifted up” and blended with
those above the diaphragm (the partition separating the lung and the abdominal cavities).
The majority of people today live below the diaphragm. Their energies
are turned outward into the material world and are prostituted to material ends.
The mystical union between
God and man and between the soul and the personality is enacted in the human head. There
are two great energy centers in the head of man.
One of them, a center between
the eyebrows, blends and fuses the five types of adjutant mind spirit energy that are transmitted to it from the three centers
below the diaphragm and the throat and heart centers.
The other head center is awakened
through meditation, service and aspiration. It is through this center that the
soul makes its contact with the personality. This second head center is the symbol
of the spirit, or the positive aspect. The center between the eyebrows
is the symbol of matter,
the negative aspect. Coinciding and operating with these positive and negative
force vortices are two physical plane organs, the pituitary and the pineal glands.
The pineal gland is positive and
the pituitary is negative. These two organs are the higher correspondences of
the male and female organs of physical reproduction. As the soul
grows more potent in the
mental and emotional life of the aspirant, it pours greater power into the head center.
As the man purifies his personality
by bending it to the service of the spiritual will, he raises the energies of the centers in the body up to the center between
the eyebrows. Eventually the influence of each of the two centers increases and
widens until their magnetic fields make contact with each other. Instantly, light
flashes out. Father-spirit and mother-matter unite and are at-one. The Christ is born. "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." This is man’s second birth. From this moment, vision
comes with increasing power.
Three times in his personal life,
the surviving human experiences the meaning of sexual union: in physical sex
in relation to his opposite sex partner resulting in the reproduction of the species; in the union of the energies below the
diaphragm with those above; and
in the union within the head of
the energies of the personality with those of the soul resulting in the birth of the Christ.
Tapping into Spiritual Energy
The laws of physics are not alterable
by man. However, an inexplicable acceleration of action occurs on the physical plane when men work on beneficial projects.
A person motivated by faith
or attempting to accomplish a selfless act gains access to a spiritual storehouse of energy. The worker’s needs to accomplish
the task will be met whether the person is conscious of the spiritual support or not.
Jesus advised man, “Ask and you shall receive; seek and
you shall find.” When human will is aligned with the Spirit, anything conceived
by that union will be granted. Spiritual energy flows through Christ as the life of a vine flows into and through the living
branches.
This truth is illustrated
by the experience of Veronica who for years was afflicted with hemorrhaging. No physician could cure her. She thought if she could just touch the hem of Jesus garment, she would be cured. One day as Jesus hastened
through a crowded narrow street being jostled by the throng, Jesus stopped, exclaiming, "Someone touched me." He perceived
that living energy had gone forth from him. Veronica, coming forward, knelt at his feet and explained that she had pressed
forward with the crowd as it moved along until she was able to touch the hem of his garment knowing she would be healed of
her affliction. She was.
At the planetary level, spiritual
energy is the cause of all events on Earth that emerge as new and better. These effects are the source of all revelation and
of all human insights. The appeal for help is projected unconsciously. Eventually, such appeals will be consciously voiced. At that point, results may be expected more
rapidly and prove more effectual. Christ’s storehouse of spiritual
energy stands open awaiting man’s approach and appropriation.
