Energy—Mind and Matter

42:12.1The evo­lu­tion of mech­a­nisms im­plies and in­di­cates the con­cealed pres­ence and dom­i­nance of cre­ative mind. The abil­ity of the mor­tal in­tel­lect to con­ceive, de­sign, and cre­ate au­to­matic mech­a­nisms demon­strates the su­pe­rior, cre­ative, and pur­po­sive qual­i­ties of man’s mind as the dom­i­nant in­flu­ence on the planet. Mind al­ways reaches out to­wards:

42:12.21. Cre­ation of ma­te­rial mech­a­nisms.

42:12.32. Dis­cov­ery of hid­den mys­ter­ies.

42:12.43. Ex­plo­ration of re­mote sit­u­a­tions.

42:12.54. For­mu­la­tion of men­tal sys­tems.

42:12.65. At­tain­ment of wis­dom goals.

42:12.76. Achieve­ment of spirit lev­els.

42:12.87. The ac­com­plish­ment of di­vine des­ti­nies—su­preme, ul­ti­mate, and ab­so­lute.

42:12.9Mind is al­ways cre­ative. The mind en­dow­ment of an in­di­vid­ual an­i­mal, mor­tal, mor­ontian, spirit as­cender, or fi­nal­ity at­tainer is al­ways com­pe­tent to pro­duce a suit­able and ser­vice­able body for the liv­ing crea­ture iden­tity. But the pres­ence phe­nom­e­non of a per­son­al­ity or the pat­tern of an iden­tity, as such, is not a man­i­fes­ta­tion of en­ergy, ei­ther phys­i­cal, mindal, or spir­i­tual. The per­son­al­ity form is the pat­tern as­pect of a liv­ing be­ing; it con­notes the ar­range­ment of en­er­gies, and this, plus life and mo­tion, is the mech­a­nism of crea­ture ex­is­tence.

42:12.10Even spirit be­ings have form, and these spirit forms (pat­terns) are real. Even the high­est type of spirit per­son­al­i­ties have forms—per­son­al­ity pres­ences in ev­ery sense anal­o­gous to Uran­tia mor­tal bod­ies. Nearly all be­ings en­coun­tered in the seven super­uni­verses are pos­sessed of forms. But there are a few ex­cep­tions to this gen­eral rule: Thought Ad­justers ap­pear to be with­out form un­til af­ter fu­sion with the sur­viv­ing souls of their mor­tal as­so­ciates. Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers, In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its, Per­sonal Aids of the In­fi­nite Spirit, Grav­ity Mes­sen­gers, Tran­scen­den­tal Re­cord­ers, and cer­tain oth­ers are also with­out dis­cov­er­able form. But these are typ­i­cal of the ex­cep­tional few; the great ma­jor­ity have bona fide per­son­al­ity forms, forms which are in­di­vid­u­ally char­ac­ter­is­tic, and which are rec­og­niz­able and per­son­ally dis­tin­guish­able.

42:12.11The li­ai­son of the cos­mic mind and the min­istry of the ad­ju­tant mind-spir­its evolve a suit­able phys­i­cal taber­na­cle for the evolv­ing hu­man be­ing. Like­wise does the mor­ontia mind in­di­vid­u­al­ize the mor­ontia form for all mor­tal sur­vivors. As the mor­tal body is per­sonal and char­ac­ter­is­tic for ev­ery hu­man be­ing, so will the mor­ontia form be highly in­di­vid­ual and ad­e­quately char­ac­ter­is­tic of the cre­ative mind which dom­i­nates it. No two mor­ontia forms are any more alike than any two hu­man bod­ies. The Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors spon­sor, and the at­tend­ing ser­a­phim pro­vide, the un­dif­fer­en­ti­ated mor­ontia ma­te­rial where­with the mor­ontia life can be­gin to work. And af­ter the mor­ontia life it will be found that spirit forms are equally di­verse, per­sonal, and char­ac­ter­is­tic of their re­spec­tive spirit-mind in­dwellers.

42:12.12On a ma­te­rial world you think of a body as hav­ing a spirit, but we re­gard the spirit as hav­ing a body. The ma­te­rial eyes are truly the win­dows of the spirit-born soul. The spirit is the ar­chi­tect, the mind is the builder, the body is the ma­te­rial build­ing.

42:12.13Phys­i­cal, spir­i­tual, and mindal en­er­gies, as such and in their pure states, do not fully in­ter­act as ac­tu­als of the phe­nom­e­nal uni­verses. On Par­a­dise the three en­er­gies are co-or­di­nate, in Ha­vona co-or­di­nated, while in the uni­verse lev­els of fi­nite ac­tiv­i­ties there must be en­coun­tered all ranges of ma­te­rial, mindal, and spir­i­tual dom­i­nance. In non­per­sonal sit­u­a­tions of time and space, phys­i­cal en­ergy seems to pre­dom­i­nate, but it also ap­pears that the more nearly spirit-mind func­tion ap­proaches di­vin­ity of pur­pose and su­prem­acy of ac­tion, the more nearly does the spirit phase be­come dom­i­nant; that on the ul­ti­mate level spirit-mind may be­come all but com­pletely dom­i­nant. On the ab­so­lute level spirit cer­tainly is dom­i­nant. And from there on out through the realms of time and space, wher­ever a di­vine spirit re­al­ity is pres­ent, when­ever a real spirit-mind is func­tion­ing, there al­ways tends to be pro­duced a ma­te­rial or phys­i­cal coun­ter­part of that spirit re­al­ity.

42:12.14The spirit is the cre­ative re­al­ity; the phys­i­cal coun­ter­part is the time-space re­flec­tion of the spirit re­al­ity, the phys­i­cal reper­cus­sion of the cre­ative ac­tion of spirit-mind.

42:12.15Mind uni­ver­sally dom­i­nates mat­ter, even as it is in turn re­spon­sive to the ul­ti­mate over­con­trol of spirit. And with mor­tal man, only that mind which freely sub­mits it­self to the spirit di­rec­tion can hope to sur­vive the mor­tal time-space ex­is­tence as an im­mor­tal child of the eter­nal spirit world of the Su­preme, the Ul­ti­mate, and the Ab­so­lute: the In­fi­nite.
