Paper 56

Universal Unity

Mighty Messenger and Machiventa Melchizedek

56:0.1God is unity. De­ity is uni­ver­sally co-or­di­nated. The uni­verse of uni­verses is one vast in­te­grated mech­a­nism which is ab­so­lutely con­trolled by one in­fi­nite mind. The phys­i­cal, in­tel­lec­tual, and spir­i­tual do­mains of uni­ver­sal cre­ation are di­vinely cor­re­lated. The per­fect and im­per­fect are truly in­ter­re­lated, and there­fore may the fi­nite evo­lu­tion­ary crea­ture as­cend to Par­a­dise in obe­di­ence to the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther’s man­date: “Be you per­fect, even as I am per­fect.”

56:0.2The di­verse lev­els of cre­ation are all uni­fied in the plans and ad­min­is­tra­tion of the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse. To the cir­cum­scribed minds of time-space mor­tals the uni­verse may pre­sent many prob­lems and sit­u­a­tions which ap­par­ently por­tray dishar­mony and in­di­cate ab­sence of ef­fec­tive co-or­di­na­tion; but those of us who are able to ob­serve wider stretches of uni­ver­sal phe­nom­ena, and who are more ex­pe­ri­enced in this art of de­tect­ing the ba­sic unity which un­der­lies cre­ative di­ver­sity and of dis­cov­er­ing the di­vine one­ness which over­spreads all this func­tion­ing of plu­ral­ity, bet­ter per­ceive the di­vine and sin­gle pur­pose ex­hib­ited in all these man­i­fold man­i­fes­ta­tions of uni­ver­sal cre­ative en­ergy.
