The Local Universe Mother Spirit

34:4.1There are three dis­tinct spirit cir­cuits in the lo­cal uni­verse of Neb­a­don:

34:4.21. The be­stowal spirit of the Cre­ator Son, the Com­forter, the Spirit of Truth.

34:4.32. The spirit cir­cuit of the Di­vine Min­is­ter, the Holy Spirit.

34:4.43. The in­tel­li­gence-min­istry cir­cuit, in­clud­ing the more or less uni­fied ac­tiv­i­ties but di­verse func­tion­ing of the seven ad­ju­tant mind-spir­its.

34:4.5The Cre­ator Sons are en­dowed with a spirit of uni­verse pres­ence in many ways anal­o­gous to that of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its of Par­a­dise. This is the Spirit of Truth which is poured out upon a world by a be­stowal Son af­ter he re­ceives spir­i­tual ti­tle to such a sphere. This be­stowed Com­forter is the spir­i­tual force which ever draws all truth seek­ers to­wards Him who is the per­son­i­fi­ca­tion of truth in the lo­cal uni­verse. This spirit is an in­her­ent en­dow­ment of the Cre­ator Son, emerg­ing from his di­vine na­ture just as the mas­ter cir­cuits of the grand uni­verse are de­rived from the per­son­al­ity pres­ences of the Par­a­dise De­i­ties.

34:4.6The Cre­ator Son may come and go; his per­sonal pres­ence may be in the lo­cal uni­verse or else­where; yet the Spirit of Truth func­tions undis­turbed, for this di­vine pres­ence, while de­rived from the per­son­al­ity of the Cre­ator Son, is func­tion­ally cen­tered in the per­son of the Di­vine Min­is­ter.

34:4.7The Uni­verse Mother Spirit, how­ever, never leaves the lo­cal uni­verse head­quar­ters world. The spirit of the Cre­ator Son may and does func­tion in­de­pen­dently of the per­sonal pres­ence of the Son, but not so with her per­sonal spirit. The Holy Spirit of the Di­vine Min­is­ter would be­come non­func­tional if her per­sonal pres­ence should be re­moved from Sal­ving­ton. Her spirit pres­ence seems to be fixed on the uni­verse head­quar­ters world, and it is this very fact that en­ables the spirit of the Cre­ator Son to func­tion in­de­pen­dently of the where­abouts of the Son. The Uni­verse Mother Spirit acts as the uni­verse fo­cus and cen­ter of the Spirit of Truth as well as of her own per­sonal in­flu­ence, the Holy Spirit.

34:4.8The Cre­ator Fa­ther-Son and the Cre­ative Mother Spirit both con­tribute var­i­ously to the mind en­dow­ment of their lo­cal uni­verse chil­dren. But the Cre­ative Spirit does not be­stow mind un­til she is en­dowed with per­sonal pre­rog­a­tives.

34:4.9The super­evo­lu­tion­ary or­ders of per­son­al­ity in a lo­cal uni­verse are en­dowed with the lo­cal uni­verse type of the super­uni­verse pat­tern of mind. The hu­man and the sub­hu­man or­ders of evo­lu­tion­ary life are en­dowed with the ad­ju­tant spirit types of mind min­is­tra­tion.

34:4.10The seven ad­ju­tant mind-spir­its are the cre­ation of the Di­vine Min­is­ter of a lo­cal uni­verse. These mind-spir­its are sim­i­lar in char­ac­ter but di­verse in power, and all par­take alike of the na­ture of the Uni­verse Spirit, al­though they are hardly re­garded as per­son­al­i­ties apart from their Mother Cre­ator. The seven ad­ju­tants have been given the fol­low­ing names: the spirit of wis­dom, the spirit of wor­ship, the spirit of coun­sel, the spirit of knowl­edge, the spirit of cour­age, the spirit of un­der­stand­ing, the spirit of in­tu­ition—of quick per­cep­tion.

34:4.11These are the “seven spir­its of God,” “like lamps burn­ing be­fore the throne,” which the prophet saw in the sym­bols of vi­sion. But he did not see the seats of the four and twenty sen­tinels about these seven ad­ju­tant mind-spir­its. This rec­ord rep­re­sents the con­fu­sion of two pre­sen­ta­tions, one per­tain­ing to the uni­verse head­quar­ters and the other to the sys­tem cap­i­tal. The seats of the four and twenty el­ders are on Je­ru­sem, the head­quar­ters of your lo­cal sys­tem of in­hab­ited worlds.

34:4.12But it was of Sal­ving­ton that John wrote: “And out of the throne pro­ceeded light­nings and thun­der­ings and voices”—the uni­verse broad­casts to the lo­cal sys­tems. He also en­vis­aged the di­rec­tional con­trol crea­tures of the lo­cal uni­verse, the liv­ing com­passes of the head­quar­ters world. This di­rec­tional con­trol in Neb­a­don is main­tained by the four con­trol crea­tures of Sal­ving­ton, who op­er­ate over the uni­verse cur­rents and are ably as­sisted by the first func­tion­ing mind-spirit, the ad­ju­tant of in­tu­ition, the spirit of “quick un­der­stand­ing.” But the de­scrip­tion of these four crea­tures—called beasts—has been sadly marred; they are of un­par­al­leled beauty and ex­qui­site form.

34:4.13The four points of the com­pass are uni­ver­sal and in­her­ent in the life of Neb­a­don. All liv­ing crea­tures pos­sess bod­ily units which are sen­si­tive and re­spon­sive to these di­rec­tional cur­rents. These crea­ture cre­ations are du­pli­cated on down through the uni­verse to the in­di­vid­ual plan­ets and, in con­junc­tion with the mag­netic forces of the worlds, so ac­ti­vate the hosts of mi­cro­scopic bod­ies in the an­i­mal or­gan­ism that these di­rec­tion cells ever point north and south. Thus is the sense of ori­en­ta­tion for­ever fixed in the liv­ing be­ings of the uni­verse. This sense is not wholly want­ing as a con­scious pos­ses­sion by man­kind. These bod­ies were first ob­served on Uran­tia about the time of this nar­ra­tion.
