The Local Universe Mother Spirit

34:2.1Hav­ing un­der­gone marked per­son­al­ity meta­mor­pho­sis at the time of life cre­ation, the Di­vine Min­is­ter there­after func­tions as a per­son and co-op­er­ates in a very per­sonal man­ner with the Cre­ator Son in the plan­ning and man­age­ment of the ex­ten­sive af­fairs of their lo­cal cre­ation. To many uni­verse types of be­ing, even this rep­re­sen­ta­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit may not ap­pear to be wholly per­sonal dur­ing the ages pre­ced­ing the fi­nal Mi­chael be­stowal; but sub­se­quent to the el­e­va­tion of the Cre­ator Son to the sov­er­eign au­thor­ity of a Mas­ter Son, the Cre­ative Mother Spirit be­comes so aug­mented in per­sonal qual­i­ties as to be per­son­ally rec­og­nized by all con­tact­ing in­di­vid­u­als.

34:2.2From the ear­li­est as­so­ci­a­tion with the Cre­ator Son the Uni­verse Spirit pos­sesses all the phys­i­cal-con­trol at­tri­butes of the In­fi­nite Spirit, in­clud­ing the full en­dow­ment of anti­grav­ity. Upon the at­tain­ment of per­sonal sta­tus the Uni­verse Spirit ex­erts just as full and com­plete con­trol of mind grav­ity, in the lo­cal uni­verse, as would the In­fi­nite Spirit if per­son­ally pres­ent.

34:2.3In each lo­cal uni­verse the Di­vine Min­is­ter func­tions in ac­cor­dance with the na­ture and in­her­ent char­ac­ter­is­tics of the In­fi­nite Spirit as em­bod­ied in one of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its of Par­a­dise. While there is a ba­sic uni­for­mity of char­ac­ter in all Uni­verse Spir­its, there is also a di­ver­sity of func­tion, de­ter­mined by their ori­gin through one of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. This dif­fer­en­tial of ori­gin ac­counts for the di­verse tech­niques in the func­tion of the lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spir­its in dif­fer­ent super­uni­verses. But in all es­sen­tial spir­i­tual at­tri­butes these Spir­its are iden­ti­cal, equally spir­i­tual and wholly di­vine, ir­re­spec­tive of super­uni­verse dif­fer­en­ti­a­tion.

34:2.4The Cre­ative Spirit is core­spon­si­ble with the Cre­ator Son in pro­duc­ing the crea­tures of the worlds and never fails the Son in all ef­forts to up­hold and con­serve these cre­ations. Life is min­is­tered and main­tained through the agency of the Cre­ative Spirit. “You send forth your Spirit, and they are cre­ated. You re­new the face of the earth.”

34:2.5In the cre­ation of a uni­verse of in­tel­li­gent crea­tures the Cre­ative Mother Spirit func­tions first in the sphere of uni­verse per­fec­tion, col­lab­o­rat­ing with the Son in the pro­duc­tion of the Bright and Morn­ing Star. Sub­se­quently the off­spring of the Spirit in­creas­ingly ap­proach the or­der of cre­ated be­ings on the plan­ets, even as the Sons grade down­ward from the Mel­chiz­e­deks to the Ma­te­rial Sons, who ac­tu­ally con­tact with the mor­tals of the realms. In the later evo­lu­tion of mor­tal crea­tures the Life Car­rier Sons pro­vide the phys­i­cal body, fab­ri­cated out of the ex­ist­ing or­ga­nized ma­te­rial of the realm, while the Uni­verse Spirit con­tributes the “breath of life.”

34:2.6While the sev­enth seg­ment of the grand uni­verse may, in many re­spects, be tardy in de­vel­op­ment, thought­ful stu­dents of our prob­lems look for­ward to the evo­lu­tion of an ex­traor­di­nar­ily well-bal­anced cre­ation in the ages to come. We pre­dict this high de­gree of sym­me­try in Or­von­ton be­cause the pre­sid­ing Spirit of this super­uni­verse is the chief of the Mas­ter Spir­its on high, be­ing a spirit in­tel­li­gence em­body­ing the bal­anced union and per­fect co-or­di­na­tion of the traits and char­ac­ter of all three of the eter­nal De­i­ties. We are tardy and back­ward in com­par­i­son with other sec­tors, but there un­doubt­edly awaits us a tran­scen­dent de­vel­op­ment and an un­prece­dented achieve­ment some­time in the eter­nal ages of the fu­ture.
