Energy—Mind and Matter

42:10.1The end­less sweep of rel­a­tive cos­mic re­al­ity, from the ab­so­lute­ness of Par­a­dise monota to the ab­so­lute­ness of space po­tency, is sug­ges­tive of cer­tain evo­lu­tions of re­la­tion­ship in the non­spir­i­tual re­al­i­ties of the First Source and Cen­ter—those re­al­i­ties which are con­cealed in space po­tency, re­vealed in monota, and pro­vi­sion­ally dis­closed on in­ter­ven­ing cos­mic lev­els. This eter­nal cy­cle of en­ergy, be­ing cir­cuited in the Fa­ther of uni­verses, is ab­so­lute and, be­ing ab­so­lute, is ex­pan­sile in nei­ther fact nor value; nev­er­the­less the Pri­mal Fa­ther is even now—as al­ways—self-re­al­iz­ing of an ever-ex­pand­ing arena of time-space, and of time-space-tran­scended, mean­ings, an arena of chang­ing re­la­tion­ships wherein en­ergy-mat­ter is be­ing pro­gres­sively sub­jected to the over­con­trol of liv­ing and di­vine spirit through the ex­pe­ri­en­tial striv­ing of liv­ing and per­sonal mind.

42:10.2The uni­ver­sal non­spir­i­tual en­er­gies are re­as­so­ci­ated in the liv­ing sys­tems of non-Cre­ator minds on var­i­ous lev­els, cer­tain of which may be de­picted as fol­lows:

42:10.31. Pread­ju­tant-spirit minds. This level of mind is non­ex­pe­ri­enc­ing and on the in­hab­ited worlds is min­is­tered by the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers. This is me­chan­i­cal mind, the non­teach­able in­tel­lect of the most prim­i­tive forms of ma­te­rial life, but the non­teach­able mind func­tions on many lev­els be­side that of prim­i­tive plan­e­tary life.

42:10.42. Ad­ju­tant-spirit minds. This is the min­istry of a lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spirit func­tion­ing through her seven ad­ju­tant mind-spir­its on the teach­able (non­me­chan­i­cal) level of ma­te­rial mind. On this level ma­te­rial mind is ex­pe­ri­enc­ing: as sub­hu­man (an­i­mal) in­tel­lect in the first five ad­ju­tants; as hu­man (moral) in­tel­lect in the seven ad­ju­tants; as super­hu­man (mid­wayer) in­tel­lect in the last two ad­ju­tants.

42:10.53. Evolv­ing mor­ontia minds—the ex­pand­ing con­scious­ness of evolv­ing per­son­al­i­ties in the lo­cal uni­verse as­cend­ing ca­reers. This is the be­stowal of the lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spirit in li­ai­son with the Cre­ator Son. This mind level con­notes the or­ga­ni­za­tion of the mor­ontia type of life ve­hi­cle, a syn­the­sis of the ma­te­rial and the spir­i­tual which is ef­fected by the Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors of a lo­cal uni­verse. Mor­ontia mind func­tions dif­fer­en­tially in re­sponse to the 570 lev­els of mor­ontia life, dis­clos­ing in­creas­ing as­so­cia­tive ca­pac­ity with the cos­mic mind on the higher lev­els of at­tain­ment. This is the evo­lu­tion­ary course of mor­tal crea­tures, but mind of a non­moron­tia or­der is also be­stowed by a Uni­verse Son and a Uni­verse Spirit upon the non­moron­tia chil­dren of the lo­cal cre­ations.

42:10.6The cos­mic mind. This is the sev­en­fold di­ver­si­fied mind of time and space, one phase of which is min­is­tered by each of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its to one of the seven super­uni­verses. The cos­mic mind en­com­passes all fi­nite-mind lev­els and co-or­di­nates ex­pe­ri­en­tially with the evo­lu­tion­ary-de­ity lev­els of the Su­preme Mind and tran­scen­den­tally with the ex­is­ten­tial lev­els of ab­so­lute mind—the di­rect cir­cuits of the Con­joint Ac­tor.

42:10.7On Par­a­dise, mind is ab­so­lute; in Ha­vona, ab­so­nite; in Or­von­ton, fi­nite. Mind al­ways con­notes the pres­ence-ac­tiv­ity of liv­ing min­istry plus var­ied en­ergy sys­tems, and this is true of all lev­els and of all kinds of mind. But be­yond the cos­mic mind it be­comes in­creas­ingly dif­fi­cult to por­tray the re­la­tion­ships of mind to non­spir­i­tual en­ergy. Ha­vona mind is sub­ab­so­lute but super­evo­lu­tion­ary; be­ing ex­is­ten­tial-ex­pe­ri­en­tial, it is nearer the ab­so­nite than any other con­cept re­vealed to you. Par­a­dise mind is be­yond hu­man un­der­stand­ing; it is ex­is­ten­tial, non­spa­tial, and non­tem­po­ral. Nev­er­the­less, all of these lev­els of mind are over­shad­owed by the uni­ver­sal pres­ence of the Con­joint Ac­tor—by the mind-grav­ity grasp of the God of mind on Par­a­dise.
