The Local Universe Mother Spirit

Mighty Messenger

1. Personalization of the Creative Spirit

34:1.1Af­ter the com­ple­tion of the phys­i­cal or­ga­ni­za­tion of a starry and plan­e­tary clus­ter and the es­tab­lish­ment of the en­ergy cir­cuits by the super­uni­verse power cen­ters, sub­se­quent to this pre­lim­i­nary work of cre­ation by the agen­cies of the In­fi­nite Spirit, op­er­at­ing through, and un­der the di­rec­tion of, his lo­cal uni­verse cre­ative fo­cal­iza­tion, there goes forth the procla­ma­tion of the Mi­chael Son that life is next to be pro­jected in the newly or­ga­nized uni­verse. Upon the Par­a­dise rec­og­ni­tion of this dec­la­ra­tion of in­ten­tion, there oc­curs a re­ac­tion of ap­proval in the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, fol­lowed by the dis­ap­pear­ance in the spir­i­tual shin­ing of the De­i­ties of the Mas­ter Spirit in whose super­uni­verse this new cre­ation is or­ga­niz­ing. Mean­while the other Mas­ter Spir­its draw near this cen­tral lodg­ment of the Par­a­dise De­i­ties, and sub­se­quently, when the De­ity-em­braced Mas­ter Spirit emerges to the rec­og­ni­tion of his fel­lows, there oc­curs what is known as a “pri­mary erup­tion.” This is a tremen­dous spir­i­tual flash, a phe­nom­e­non clearly dis­cern­i­ble as far away as the head­quar­ters of the super­uni­verse con­cerned; and si­mul­ta­ne­ously with this lit­tle-un­der­stood Trin­ity man­i­fes­ta­tion there oc­curs a marked change in the na­ture of the cre­ative spirit pres­ence and power of the In­fi­nite Spirit res­i­dent in the lo­cal uni­verse con­cerned. In re­sponse to these Par­a­dise phe­nom­ena there im­me­di­ately per­son­al­izes, in the very pres­ence of the Cre­ator Son, a new per­sonal rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit. This is the Di­vine Min­is­ter. The in­di­vid­u­al­ized Cre­ative Spirit helper of the Cre­ator Son has be­come his per­sonal cre­ative as­so­ciate, the lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spirit.

34:1.2From and through this new per­sonal seg­re­ga­tion of the Con­joint Cre­ator there pro­ceed the es­tab­lished cur­rents and the or­dained cir­cuits of spirit power and spir­i­tual in­flu­ence des­tined to per­vade all the worlds and be­ings of that lo­cal uni­verse. In re­al­ity, this new and per­sonal pres­ence is but a trans­for­ma­tion of the pre-ex­is­tent and less per­sonal as­so­ciate of the Son in his ear­lier work of phys­i­cal uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion.

34:1.3This is the re­la­tion of a stu­pen­dous drama in few words, but it rep­re­sents about all that can be told re­gard­ing these mo­men­tous trans­ac­tions. They are in­stan­ta­neous, in­scrutable, and in­com­pre­hen­si­ble; the se­cret of the tech­nique and pro­ce­dure re­sides in the bo­som of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. Of only one thing are we cer­tain: The Spirit pres­ence in the lo­cal uni­verse dur­ing the time of purely phys­i­cal cre­ation or or­ga­ni­za­tion was in­com­pletely dif­fer­en­ti­ated from the spirit of the Par­a­dise In­fi­nite Spirit; whereas, af­ter the reap­pear­ance of the super­vis­ing Mas­ter Spirit from the se­cret em­brace of the Gods and fol­low­ing the flash of spir­i­tual en­ergy, the lo­cal uni­verse man­i­fes­ta­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit sud­denly and com­pletely changes to the per­sonal like­ness of that Mas­ter Spirit who was in trans­mut­ing li­ai­son with the In­fi­nite Spirit. The lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spirit thus ac­quires a per­sonal na­ture tinged by that of the Mas­ter Spirit of the super­uni­verse of as­tro­nomic ju­ris­dic­tion.

34:1.4This per­son­al­ized pres­ence of the In­fi­nite Spirit, the Cre­ative Mother Spirit of the lo­cal uni­verse, is known in Sa­ta­nia as the Di­vine Min­is­ter. To all prac­ti­cal in­tents and spir­i­tual pur­poses this man­i­fes­ta­tion of De­ity is a di­vine in­di­vid­ual, a spirit per­son. And she is so rec­og­nized and re­garded by the Cre­ator Son. It is through this lo­cal­iza­tion and per­son­al­iza­tion of the Third Source and Cen­ter in our lo­cal uni­verse that the Spirit could sub­se­quently be­come so fully sub­ject to the Cre­ator Son that of this Son it was truly said, “All power in heaven and on earth has been in­trusted to him.”
