The
bifurcation of energy and spirit (stemming from the conjoint presence
of the Eternal Son and the Paradise Isle) was symbolized in the superuniverse
sense when the Seven Master Spirits unitedly engaged in their first act of
collective creation. This episode witnessed the appearance of the Seven Supreme
Power Directors. Concomitant therewith the spiritual circuits of the Master
Spirits
contrastively differentiated from the physical activities of power
director supervision, and immediately did the cosmic mind appear as a new
factor co-ordinating matter and spirit.
P1274:1, 116:5.4
The Almighty Supreme is evolving as the overcontroller of the physical power
of the grand universe. In the present universe age this potential of physical
power appears to be centered in the Seven Supreme Power Directors, who operate
through the fixed locations of the power centers and through the mobile presences
of the physical controllers.
P1274:2, 116:5.5
The time universes are not perfect; that is their destiny. The struggle for
perfection pertains not only to the intellectual and the spiritual levels
but also to the physical level of energy and mass. The settlement of the seven
superuniverses in light and life presupposes their attainment of physical
stability. And it is conjectured that the final attainment of material equilibrium
will signify the completed evolution of the physical control of the Almighty.
P1274:3, 116:5.6
In the early days of universe building even the Paradise Creators are primarily
concerned with material equilibrium. The pattern of a local universe takes
shape not only as a result of the activities of the power centers but also
because of the space presence of the Creative Spirit. And throughout these
early epochs of local universe building the Creator Son exhibits a little-understood
attribute of material control, and he does not leave his capital planet until
the gross equilibrium of the local universe has been established.
P1274:4, 116:5.7
In the final analysis, all energy responds to mind, and the physical controllers
are the children of the mind God, who is the activator of Paradise pattern.
The intelligence of the power directors is unremittingly devoted to the task
of bringing about material control. Their struggle for physical dominance
over the relationships of energy and the motions of mass never ceases until
they achieve finite victory over the energies and masses which constitute
their perpetual domains of activity.
P1274:5, 116:5.8
The spirit struggles of time and space have to do with the evolution of spirit
dominance over matter by the mediation of (personal) mind; the physical (nonpersonal)
evolution of the universes has to do with bringing cosmic energy into harmony
with the equilibrium concepts of mind subject to the overcontrol of spirit.
The total evolution of the entire grand universe is a matter of the personality
unification of the
energy-controlling mind with the
spirit-co-ordinated intellect
and will be revealed in the full appearance of the almighty power of the Supreme.
P1274:6, 116:5.9
The difficulty in arriving at a state of dynamic equilibrium is inherent in
the fact of the growing cosmos. The established circuits of physical creation
are being continually jeopardized by the appearance of new energy and new
mass. A growing universe is an unsettled universe; hence no part of the cosmic
whole can find real stability until the fullness of time witnesses the material
completion of the seven superuniverses.
P1274:7, 116:5.10
In the settled universes of light and life there are no unexpected physical
events of major importance. Relatively complete control over the material
creation has been achieved; still the problems of the relationship of the
settled universes to the evolving universes continue to challenge the skill
of the Universe Power Directors. But these problems will gradually vanish
with the diminution of new creative activity as the grand universe approaches
culmination of evolutionary expression.
