The Local Universe Mother Spirit

34:3.1Nei­ther the Eter­nal Son nor the In­fi­nite Spirit is lim­ited or con­di­tioned by ei­ther time or space, but most of their off­spring are.

34:3.2The In­fi­nite Spirit per­vades all space and in­dwells the cir­cle of eter­nity. Still, in their per­sonal con­tact with the chil­dren of time, the per­son­al­i­ties of the In­fi­nite Spirit must of­ten reckon with tem­po­ral el­e­ments, though not so much with space. Many mind min­istries ig­nore space but suf­fer a time lag in ef­fect­ing co-or­di­na­tion of di­verse lev­els of uni­verse re­al­ity. A Soli­tary Mes­sen­ger is vir­tu­ally in­de­pen­dent of space ex­cept that time is ac­tu­ally re­quired in trav­el­ing from one lo­ca­tion to an­other; and there are sim­i­lar en­ti­ties un­known to you.

34:3.3In per­sonal pre­rog­a­tives a Cre­ative Spirit is wholly and en­tirely in­de­pen­dent of space, but not of time. There is no spe­cial­ized per­sonal pres­ence of such a Uni­verse Spirit on ei­ther the con­stel­la­tion or sys­tem head­quar­ters. She is equally and dif­fusely pres­ent through­out her en­tire lo­cal uni­verse and is, there­fore, just as lit­er­ally and per­son­ally pres­ent on one world as on any other.

34:3.4Only as re­gards the el­e­ment of time is a Cre­ative Spirit ever lim­ited in her uni­verse min­is­tra­tions. A Cre­ator Son acts in­stan­ta­neously through­out his uni­verse; but the Cre­ative Spirit must reckon with time in the min­is­tra­tion of the uni­ver­sal mind ex­cept as she con­sciously and de­signedly avails her­self of the per­sonal pre­rog­a­tives of the Uni­verse Son. In pure-spirit func­tion the Cre­ative Spirit also acts in­de­pen­dently of time as well as in her col­lab­o­ra­tion with the mys­te­ri­ous func­tion of uni­verse re­flec­tiv­ity.

34:3.5Though the spirit-grav­ity cir­cuit of the Eter­nal Son op­er­ates in­de­pen­dently of both time and space, all func­tions of the Cre­ator Sons are not ex­empt from space lim­i­ta­tions. If the trans­ac­tions of the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds are ex­cepted, these Mi­chael Sons seem to be able to op­er­ate rel­a­tively in­de­pen­dent of time. A Cre­ator Son is not hand­i­capped by time, but he is con­di­tioned by space; he can­not per­son­ally be in two places at the same time. Mi­chael of Neb­a­don acts time­lessly within his own uni­verse and by re­flec­tiv­ity prac­ti­cally so in the super­uni­verse. He com­mu­ni­cates time­lessly with the Eter­nal Son di­rectly.

34:3.6The Di­vine Min­is­ter is the un­der­stand­ing helper of the Cre­ator Son, en­abling him to over­come and atone for his in­her­ent lim­i­ta­tions re­gard­ing space, for when these two func­tion in ad­min­is­tra­tive union, they are prac­ti­cally in­de­pen­dent of time and space within the con­fines of their lo­cal cre­ation. There­fore, as prac­ti­cally ob­served through­out a lo­cal uni­verse, the Cre­ator Son and the Cre­ative Spirit usu­ally func­tion in­de­pen­dently of both time and space since there is al­ways avail­able to each the time and the space lib­er­a­tion of the other.

34:3.7Only ab­so­lute be­ings are in­de­pen­dent of time and space in the ab­so­lute sense. The ma­jor­ity of the sub­or­di­nate per­sons of both the Eter­nal Son and the In­fi­nite Spirit are sub­ject to both time and space.

34:3.8When a Cre­ative Spirit be­comes “space con­scious,” she is prepar­ing to rec­og­nize a cir­cum­scribed “space do­main” as hers, a realm in which to be space free in con­tradis­tinc­tion to all other space by which she would be con­di­tioned. One is free to choose and act only within the realm of one’s con­scious­ness.
