Universal Unity
1. Physical Co-ordination
1The physical or material creation is not infinite, but it is perfectly co-ordinated. There are force, energy, and power, but they are all one in origin. The seven superuniverses are seemingly dual; the central universe, triune; but Paradise is of single constitution. And Paradise is the actual source of all material universes—past, present, and future. But this cosmic derivation is an eternity event; at no time—past, present, or future—does either space or the material cosmos come forth from the nuclear Isle of Light. As the cosmic source, Paradise functions prior to space and before time; hence would its derivations seem to be orphaned in time and space did they not emerge through the Unqualified Absolute, their ultimate repository in space and their revealer and regulator in time.
- energy › Paradise source of energy › force, energy, and power are one in origin
- Havona › nature and constitution › 7 forms of energy; threefold energies, 1000 chemical elements
- Havona › nature and constitution › cf: architectural spheres
- Paradise › nature of Paradise › all matter comes from P. and is drawn toward P
- Paradise › nature of Paradise › all things are present on P.; space and time are nonexistent
- Paradise › nature of Paradise › of single constitution
- superuniverses, the seven › dual constitution
- universe › physical aspects › emanated from Paradise through Unqualified Absolute
- universe › physical aspects › is delimited; moves in vast elongated circle around Paradise
- Unqualified Absolute › defined as › repository of static potentials, uncreated universes
- Unqualified Absolute › defined as › revealer, regulator, and repository of all that has Paradise as source
2The Unqualified Absolute upholds the physical universe, while the Deity Absolute motivates the exquisite overcontrol of all material reality; and both Absolutes are functionally unified by the Universal Absolute. This cohesive correlation of the material universe is best understood by all personalities—material, morontia, absonite, or spiritual—by the observation of the gravity response of all bona fide material reality to the gravity centering on nether Paradise.
- Absolutes › the three Absolutes › Unqualified Absolute unifies with Deity Absolute in Universal Absolute
- Deity Absolute › defined as › unifies with Unqualified Absolute in Universal Absolute
- Deity Absolute › overcontrols all material reality
- gravity › types of gravity › Paradise gravity › best illustration of unity of material universes
- matter › defined as › what responds to material-gravity circuit of Paradise
- Universal Absolute › Unqualified Absolute and Deity Absolute unified in
- Unqualified Absolute › defined as › repository of static potentials, uncreated universes
- Unqualified Absolute › defined as › revealer, regulator, and repository of all that has Paradise as source
- Unqualified Absolute › unifies with Deity Absolute in Universal Absolute
3Gravity unification is universal and unvarying; pure-energy response is likewise universal and inescapable. Pure energy (primordial force) and pure spirit are wholly preresponsive to gravity. These primal forces, inhering in the Absolutes, are personally controlled by the Universal Father; hence does all gravity center in the personal presence of the Paradise Father of pure energy and pure spirit and in his supermaterial abode.
- gravity › characteristics › centers in Father’s personal presence
- gravity › characteristics › unification is universal and unvarying
- segregata › also known as primordial force; pure energy
- segregata › basic space force of Unqualified Absolute
- segregata › pre-energy not responsive to direct Paradise gravity
- segregata › response is universal, inescapable; inherent in Absolutes
- segregata › under personal control of Universal Father
- spirit › nature of spirit › in pure form, s. is preresponsive to gravity
- Universal Father › functions › personally controls pure energy, pure spirit, and gravity
4Pure energy is the ancestor of all relative, nonspirit functional realities, while pure spirit is the potential of the divine and directive overcontrol of all basic energy systems. And these realities, so diverse as manifested throughout space and as observed in the motions of time, are both centered in the person of the Paradise Father. In him they are one—must be unified—because God is one. The Father’s personality is absolutely unified.
- God › God’s nature › unity
- segregata › also known as primordial force; pure energy
- segregata › ancestor of all relative, nonspirit functional realities
- spirit › nature of spirit › absolute of s. converges in Father
- Universal Father › described › is unity
- Universal Father › functions › personally controls pure energy, pure spirit, and gravity
5In the infinite nature of God the Father there could not possibly exist duality of reality, such as physical and spiritual; but the instant we look aside from the infinite levels and absolute reality of the personal values of the Paradise Father, we observe the existence of these two realities and recognize that they are fully responsive to his personal presence; in him all things consist.
6The moment you depart from the unqualified concept of the infinite personality of the Paradise Father, you must postulate MIND as the inevitable technique of unifying the ever-widening divergence of these dual universe manifestations of the original monothetic Creator personality, the First Source and Center—the I AM.
