P135:11, 12:6.1 The universe is nonstatic. Stability is not the result of inertia but
rather the product of balanced energies, co-operative minds, co-ordinated
morontias, spirit overcontrol, and personality unification. Stability
is wholly and always proportional to divinity.
P135:12, 12:6.2 In the physical control of the master universe the Universal Father
exercises priority and primacy through the Isle of Paradise; God is
absolute in the spiritual administration of the cosmos in the person
of the Eternal Son. Concerning the domains of mind, the Father and the
Son function co-ordinately in the Conjoint Actor.
P136:1, 12:6.3 The Third Source and Center assists in
the maintenance of the equilibrium and co-ordination of the combined
physical and spiritual energies and organizations by the absoluteness
of his grasp of the cosmic mind and by the exercise of his inherent
and universal physical- and spiritual-gravity complements. Whenever
and wherever there occurs a liaison between the material and the spiritual,
such a mind phenomenon is an act of the Infinite Spirit. Mind alone
can interassociate the physical forces and energies of the material
level with the spiritual powers and beings of the spirit level.
P136:2, 12:6.4 In all your contemplation of universal phenomena, make certain that
you take into consideration the interrelation of physical, intellectual,
and spiritual energies, and that due allowance is made for the unexpected
phenomena attendant upon their unification by personality and for the
unpredictable phenomena resulting from the actions and reactions of
experiential Deity and the Absolutes.
P136:3, 12:6.5 The universe is highly predictable only in the quantitative or gravity-measurement sense; even the primal physical forces are not responsive to linear
gravity, nor are the higher mind meanings and true spirit values of
ultimate universe realities. Qualitatively, the universe is not highly
predictable as regards new associations of forces, either physical,
mindal, or spiritual, although many such combinations of energies or
forces become partially predictable when subjected to critical observation.
When matter, mind, and spirit are unified by creature personality, we
are unable fully to predict the decisions of such a freewill being.
P136:4, 12:6.6 All phases of primordial force, nascent spirit, and other nonpersonal ultimates appear to react in accordance
with certain relatively stable but unknown laws and are characterized
by a latitude of performance and an elasticity of response which are
often disconcerting when encountered in the phenomena of a circumscribed
and isolated situation. What is the explanation of this unpredictable
freedom of reaction disclosed by these emerging universe actualities?
These unknown, unfathomable unpredictables -- whether pertaining to the behavior of a primordial unit of force,
the reaction of an unidentified level of mind, or the phenomenon of
a vast preuniverse in the making in the domains of outer space -- probably
disclose the activities of the Ultimate and the presence-performances
of the Absolutes, which antedate the function of all universe Creators.
P136:5, 12:6.7 We do not really know, but we surmise that such amazing versatility
and such profound co-ordination signify the presence and performance
of the Absolutes, and that such diversity of response in the face of
apparently uniform causation discloses the reaction of the Absolutes,
not only to the immediate and situational causation, but also to all
other related causations throughout the entire master universe.
P136:6, 12:6.8 Individuals have their guardians of destiny; planets, systems, constellations,
universes, and superuniverses each have their respective rulers who
labor for the good of their domains. Havona and even the grand universe
are watched over by those intrusted with such high responsibilities.
But who fosters and cares for the fundamental needs of the master universe
as a whole, from Paradise to the fourth and outermost space level? Existentially
such overcare is probably attributable to the Paradise Trinity, but
from an experiential viewpoint the appearance of the post-Havona universes
is dependent on:
