• physical energy › energy-matter is what responds to material-gravity circuit of Paradise

0:6.1Any and all things re­spond­ing to the per­son­al­ity cir­cuit of the Fa­ther, we call per­sonal. Any and all things re­spond­ing to the spirit cir­cuit of the Son, we call spirit. Any and all that re­sponds to the mind cir­cuit of the Con­joint Ac­tor, we call mind, mind as an at­tri­bute of the In­fi­nite Spirit—mind in all its phases. Any and all that re­sponds to the ma­te­rial-grav­ity cir­cuit cen­ter­ing in nether Par­a­dise, we call mat­ter—en­ergy-mat­ter in all its meta­mor­phic states.

• definition › all-inclusive term applied to spiritual, mindal, and material realms

0:6.2EN­ERGY we use as an all-in­clu­sive term ap­plied to spir­i­tual, mindal, and ma­te­rial realms. Force is also thus broadly used. Power is or­di­nar­ily lim­ited to the des­ig­na­tion of the elec­tronic level of ma­te­rial or lin­ear-grav­ity-re­spon­sive mat­ter in the grand uni­verse. Power is also em­ployed to des­ig­nate sov­er­eignty. We can­not fol­low your gen­er­ally ac­cepted def­i­ni­tions of force, en­ergy, and power. There is such paucity of lan­guage that we must as­sign mul­ti­ple mean­ings to these terms.

3:2.3Of all the di­vine at­tri­butes, his om­nipo­tence, es­pe­cially as it pre­vails in the ma­te­rial uni­verse, is the best un­der­stood. Viewed as an un­spir­i­tual phe­nom­e­non, God is en­ergy. This dec­la­ra­tion of phys­i­cal fact is pred­i­cated on the in­com­pre­hen­si­ble truth that the First Source and Cen­ter is the pri­mal cause of the uni­ver­sal phys­i­cal phe­nom­ena of all space. From this di­vine ac­tiv­ity all phys­i­cal en­ergy and other ma­te­rial man­i­fes­ta­tions are de­rived. Light, that is, light with­out heat, is an­other of the non­spir­i­tual man­i­fes­ta­tions of the De­i­ties. And there is still an­other form of non­spir­i­tual en­ergy which is vir­tu­ally un­known on Uran­tia; it is as yet un­rec­og­nized.

• manipulation of energy by celestial agencies › Infinite Spirit co-ordinates all e.; can slow down e. to materialization

9:0.2The Fa­ther is in­fi­nite in love and vo­li­tion, in spir­i­tual thought and pur­pose; he is the uni­ver­sal up­holder. The Son is in­fi­nite in wis­dom and truth, in spir­i­tual ex­pres­sion and in­ter­pre­ta­tion; he is the uni­ver­sal re­vealer. Par­a­dise is in­fi­nite in po­ten­tial for force en­dow­ment and in ca­pac­ity for en­ergy dom­i­nance; it is the uni­ver­sal sta­bi­lizer. The Con­joint Ac­tor pos­sesses unique pre­rog­a­tives of syn­the­sis, in­fi­nite ca­pac­ity to co-or­di­nate all ex­ist­ing uni­verse en­er­gies, all ac­tual uni­verse spir­its, and all real uni­verse in­tel­lects; the Third Source and Cen­ter is the uni­ver­sal uni­fier of the man­i­fold en­er­gies and di­verse cre­ations which have ap­peared in con­se­quence of the di­vine plan and the eter­nal pur­pose of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

9:3.4Still fur­ther does the Con­joint Ac­tor dis­play pow­ers which can tran­scend force and neu­tral­ize en­ergy. Such pow­ers op­er­ate by slow­ing down en­ergy to the point of ma­te­ri­al­iza­tion and by other tech­niques un­known to you.

• manipulation of energy by celestial agencies › responds to mind

9:4.2The ab­so­lute mind is the mind of the Third Per­son; it is in­sep­a­ra­ble from the per­son­al­ity of God the Spirit. Mind, in func­tion­ing be­ings, is not sep­a­rated from en­ergy or spirit, or both. Mind is not in­her­ent in en­ergy; en­ergy is re­cep­tive and re­spon­sive to mind; mind can be super­im­posed upon en­ergy, but con­scious­ness is not in­her­ent in the purely ma­te­rial level. Mind does not have to be added to pure spirit, for spirit is in­nately con­scious and iden­ti­fy­ing. Spirit is al­ways in­tel­li­gent, minded in some way. It may be this mind or that mind, it may be pre­mind or super­mind, even spirit mind, but it does the equiv­a­lent of think­ing and know­ing. The in­sight of spirit tran­scends, super­venes, and the­o­ret­i­cally an­te­dates the con­scious­ness of mind.

• manipulation of energy by celestial agencies › responds to mind

9:4.5Cos­mic force re­sponds to mind even as cos­mic mind re­sponds to spirit. Spirit is di­vine pur­pose, and spirit mind is di­vine pur­pose in ac­tion. En­ergy is thing, mind is mean­ing, spirit is value. Even in time and space, mind es­tab­lishes those rel­a­tive re­la­tion­ships be­tween en­ergy and spirit which are sug­ges­tive of mu­tual kin­ship in eter­nity.

• physical energy › one with spirit on Paradise

9:6.7The greater the spirit-en­ergy di­ver­gence, the greater the ob­serv­able func­tion of mind; the lesser the di­ver­sity of en­ergy and spirit, the lesser the ob­serv­able func­tion of mind. Ap­par­ently, the max­i­mum func­tion of the cos­mic mind is in the time uni­verses of space. Here mind seems to func­tion in a mid-zone be­tween en­ergy and spirit, but this is not true of the higher lev­els of mind; on Par­a­dise, en­ergy and spirit are es­sen­tially one.

• types of energy › force-energy

11:5.43. Oc­cu­py­ing the outer mar­gins of the un­der sur­face is a re­gion hav­ing mainly to do with space po­tency and force-en­ergy. The ac­tiv­i­ties of this vast el­lip­ti­cal force cen­ter are not iden­ti­fi­able with the known func­tions of any tri­unity, but the pri­mor­dial force-charge of space ap­pears to be fo­cal­ized in this area. This cen­ter con­sists of three con­cen­tric el­lip­ti­cal zones: The in­ner­most is the fo­cal point of the force-en­ergy ac­tiv­i­ties of Par­a­dise it­self; the out­er­most may pos­si­bly be iden­ti­fied with the func­tions of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute, but we are not cer­tain con­cern­ing the space func­tions of the mid-zone.

• physical energy › all phases are encircuited; all units are in revolution

11:5.8All forms of force and all phases of en­ergy seem to be en­cir­cuited; they cir­cu­late through­out the uni­verses and re­turn by def­i­nite routes. But with the em­a­na­tions of the ac­ti­vated zone of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute there ap­pears to be ei­ther an out­go­ing or an in­com­ing—never both si­mul­ta­ne­ously. This outer zone pul­sates in age­long cy­cles of gi­gan­tic pro­por­tions. For a lit­tle more than one bil­lion Uran­tia years the space-force of this cen­ter is out­go­ing; then for a sim­i­lar length of time it will be in­com­ing. And the space-force man­i­fes­ta­tions of this cen­ter are uni­ver­sal; they ex­tend through­out all per­vad­able space.

• Paradise source of energy › cf: absoluta comes from space in present state, not nether Paradise
• Paradise source of energy › all force-energy comes from, and returns to, nether Paradise
• physical energy › same thing as light, heat, electricity, magnetism, chemism, and matter

11:5.9All phys­i­cal force, en­ergy, and mat­ter are one. All force-en­ergy orig­i­nally pro­ceeded from nether Par­a­dise and will even­tu­ally re­turn thereto fol­low­ing the com­ple­tion of its space cir­cuit. But the en­er­gies and ma­te­rial or­ga­ni­za­tions of the uni­verse of uni­verses did not all come from nether Par­a­dise in their pres­ent phe­nom­e­nal states; space is the womb of sev­eral forms of mat­ter and pre­mat­ter. Though the outer zone of the Par­a­dise force cen­ter is the source of space-en­er­gies, space does not orig­i­nate there. Space is not force, en­ergy, or power. Nor do the pul­sa­tions of this zone ac­count for the res­pi­ra­tion of space, but the in­com­ing and out­go­ing phases of this zone are syn­chro­nized with the two-bil­lion-year ex­pan­sion-con­trac­tion cy­cles of space.

11:8.62. Grav­ity Stages (En­ergy). This mod­i­fi­ca­tion of the force-charge of space is pro­duced by the ac­tion of the Par­a­dise force or­ga­niz­ers. It sig­nal­izes the ap­pear­ance of en­ergy sys­tems re­spon­sive to the pull of Par­a­dise grav­ity. This emer­gent en­ergy is orig­i­nally neu­tral but con­se­quent upon fur­ther meta­mor­pho­sis will ex­hibit the so-called neg­a­tive and pos­i­tive qual­i­ties. We des­ig­nate these stages ul­ti­mata.

Ev­ery­thing which has been, now is, or is yet to be, has come, now comes, or will come forth from this cen­tral abid­ing place of the eter­nal Gods. Par­a­dise is the cen­ter of all cre­ation, the source of all en­er­gies, and the place of pri­mal ori­gin of all per­son­al­i­ties.

• physical energy › basic e. swings around curved space levels

12:1.1The uni­verse of uni­verses is not an in­fi­nite plane, a bound­less cube, nor a lim­it­less cir­cle; it cer­tainly has di­men­sions. The laws of phys­i­cal or­ga­ni­za­tion and ad­min­is­tra­tion prove con­clu­sively that the whole vast ag­gre­ga­tion of force-en­ergy and mat­ter-power func­tions ul­ti­mately as a space unit, as an or­ga­nized and co-or­di­nated whole. The ob­serv­able be­hav­ior of the ma­te­rial cre­ation con­sti­tutes ev­i­dence of a phys­i­cal uni­verse of def­i­nite lim­its. The fi­nal proof of both a cir­cu­lar and de­lim­ited uni­verse is af­forded by the, to us, well-known fact that all forms of ba­sic en­ergy ever swing around the curved path of the space lev­els of the mas­ter uni­verse in obe­di­ence to the in­ces­sant and ab­so­lute pull of Par­a­dise grav­ity.

• physical energy › all phases are encircuited; all units are in revolution

12:4.1All units of cos­mic en­ergy are in pri­mary rev­o­lu­tion, are en­gaged in the ex­e­cu­tion of their mis­sion, while swing­ing around the uni­ver­sal or­bit. The uni­verses of space and their com­po­nent sys­tems and worlds are all re­volv­ing spheres, mov­ing along the end­less cir­cuits of the mas­ter uni­verse space lev­els. Ab­so­lutely noth­ing is sta­tion­ary in all the mas­ter uni­verse ex­cept the very cen­ter of Ha­vona, the eter­nal Isle of Par­a­dise, the cen­ter of grav­ity.

12:8.2The be­stowal of cos­mic force, the do­main of cos­mic grav­ity, is the func­tion of the Isle of Par­a­dise. All orig­i­nal force-en­ergy pro­ceeds from Par­a­dise, and the mat­ter for the mak­ing of un­told uni­verses now cir­cu­lates through­out the mas­ter uni­verse in the form of a super­grav­ity pres­ence which con­sti­tutes the force-charge of per­vaded space.

• physical energy › evidences stability of Paradise

12:8.3What­ever the trans­for­ma­tions of force in the out­ly­ing uni­verses, hav­ing gone out from Par­a­dise, it jour­neys on sub­ject to the never-end­ing, ever-pres­ent, un­fail­ing pull of the eter­nal Isle, obe­di­ently and in­her­ently swing­ing on for­ever around the eter­nal space paths of the uni­verses. Phys­i­cal en­ergy is the one re­al­ity which is true and stead­fast in its obe­di­ence to uni­ver­sal law. Only in the realms of crea­ture vo­li­tion has there been de­vi­a­tion from the di­vine paths and the orig­i­nal plans. Power and en­ergy are the uni­ver­sal ev­i­dences of the sta­bil­ity, con­stancy, and eter­nity of the cen­tral Isle of Par­a­dise.

• physical energy › 7 forms of e. in Havona

14:2.3The ma­te­rial of Ha­vona con­sists of the or­ga­ni­za­tion of ex­actly one thou­sand ba­sic chem­i­cal el­e­ments and the bal­anced func­tion of the seven forms of Ha­vona en­ergy. Each of these ba­sic en­er­gies man­i­fests seven phases of ex­ci­ta­tion, so that the Ha­vona na­tives re­spond to forty-nine dif­fer­ing sen­sa­tion stim­uli. In other words, viewed from a purely phys­i­cal stand­point, the na­tives of the cen­tral uni­verse pos­sess forty-nine spe­cial­ized forms of sen­sa­tion. The mor­ontia senses are sev­enty, and the higher spir­i­tual or­ders of re­ac­tion re­sponse vary in dif­fer­ent types of be­ings from sev­enty to two hun­dred and ten.

15:4.1While cre­ation and uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion re­main for­ever un­der the con­trol of the in­fi­nite Cre­ators and their as­so­ciates, the whole phe­nom­e­non pro­ceeds in ac­cor­dance with an or­dained tech­nique and in con­for­mity to the grav­ity laws of force, en­ergy, and mat­ter. But there is some­thing of mys­tery as­so­ci­ated with the uni­ver­sal force-charge of space; we quite un­der­stand the or­ga­ni­za­tion of the ma­te­rial cre­ations from the ul­ti­ma­tonic stage for­ward, but we do not fully com­pre­hend the cos­mic an­ces­try of the ul­ti­ma­tons. We are con­fi­dent that these an­ces­tral forces have a Par­a­dise ori­gin be­cause they for­ever swing through per­vaded space in the ex­act gi­gan­tic out­lines of Par­a­dise. Though non­re­spon­sive to Par­a­dise grav­ity, this force-charge of space, the an­ces­tor of all ma­te­ri­al­iza­tion, does al­ways re­spond to the pres­ence of nether Par­a­dise, be­ing ap­par­ently cir­cuited in and out of the nether Par­a­dise cen­ter.

15:6.9The tril­lions upon tril­lions of years that an or­di­nary sun will con­tinue to give out heat and light well il­lus­trates the vast store of en­ergy which each unit of mat­ter con­tains. The ac­tual en­ergy stored in these in­vis­i­ble par­ti­cles of phys­i­cal mat­ter is well-nigh unimag­in­able. And this en­ergy be­comes al­most wholly avail­able as light when sub­jected to the tremen­dous heat pres­sure and the as­so­ci­ated en­ergy ac­tiv­i­ties which pre­vail in the in­te­rior of the blaz­ing suns. Still other con­di­tions en­able these suns to trans­form and send forth much of the en­ergy of space which comes their way in the es­tab­lished space cir­cuits. Many phases of phys­i­cal en­ergy and all forms of mat­ter are at­tracted to, and sub­se­quently dis­tributed by, the so­lar dy­namos. In this way the suns serve as lo­cal ac­cel­er­a­tors of en­ergy cir­cu­la­tion, act­ing as au­to­matic power-con­trol sta­tions.

15:6.16The laws of phys­i­cal-en­ergy be­hav­ior are ba­si­cally uni­ver­sal, but lo­cal in­flu­ences have much to do with the phys­i­cal con­di­tions which pre­vail on in­di­vid­ual plan­ets and in lo­cal sys­tems. An al­most end­less va­ri­ety of crea­ture life and other liv­ing man­i­fes­ta­tions char­ac­ter­izes the count­less worlds of space. There are, how­ever, cer­tain points of sim­i­lar­ity in a group of worlds as­so­ci­ated in a given sys­tem, while there also is a uni­verse pat­tern of in­tel­li­gent life. There are phys­i­cal re­la­tion­ships among those plan­e­tary sys­tems which be­long to the same phys­i­cal cir­cuit, and which closely fol­low each other in the end­less swing around the cir­cle of uni­verses.

These power cen­ters and con­trol­lers are dif­fi­cult of un­der­stand­ing; the lower or­ders are not vo­li­tional, they do not pos­sess will, they do not choose, their func­tions are very in­tel­li­gent but ap­par­ently au­to­matic and in­her­ent in their highly spe­cial­ized or­ga­ni­za­tion.

29:0.1Of all the uni­verse per­son­al­i­ties con­cerned in the reg­u­la­tion of in­ter­plan­e­tary and in­teruni­verse af­fairs, the power di­rec­tors and their as­so­ciates have been the least un­der­stood on Uran­tia. While your races have long known of the ex­is­tence of an­gels and sim­i­lar or­ders of ce­les­tial be­ings, lit­tle in­for­ma­tion con­cern­ing the con­trol­lers and reg­u­la­tors of the phys­i­cal do­main has ever been im­parted. Even now I am per­mit­ted fully to dis­close only the last of the fol­low­ing three groups of liv­ing be­ings hav­ing to do with force con­trol and en­ergy reg­u­la­tion in the mas­ter uni­verse:

• types of energy › gravity energy

29:2.11The Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors and the Su­preme Cen­ter Super­vi­sors func­tion both as in­di­vid­u­als and con­jointly with re­gard to all cos­mic phe­nom­ena be­low the lev­els of “grav­ity en­ergy.” When act­ing in li­ai­son, these four­teen be­ings are to uni­verse power what the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives are to gen­eral uni­verse af­fairs, and what the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its are to the cos­mic mind.

• physical energy › spreads throughout universe like moving ocean

29:2.14All en­ergy is cir­cuited in the Par­a­dise cy­cle, but the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors di­rect the force-en­er­gies of nether Par­a­dise as they find them mod­i­fied in the space func­tions of the cen­tral and super­uni­verses, con­vert­ing and di­rect­ing these en­er­gies into chan­nels of use­ful and con­struc­tive ap­pli­ca­tion. There is a dif­fer­ence be­tween Ha­vona en­ergy and the en­er­gies of the super­uni­verses. The power charge of a super­uni­verse con­sists of three phases of en­ergy of ten seg­re­ga­tions each. This three­fold en­ergy charge spreads through­out the space of the grand uni­verse; it is like a vast mov­ing ocean of en­ergy which en­gulfs and bathes the whole of each of the seven super­cre­ations.

• circuits of energy › localized e. movements, like Gulf Stream
• physical energy › 7 forms in 3 phases controlled by Supreme Power Centers; rest by Unqualified Absolute

29:2.15The elec­tronic or­ga­ni­za­tion of uni­verse power func­tions in seven phases and dis­closes vary­ing re­sponse to lo­cal or lin­ear grav­ity. This sev­en­fold cir­cuit pro­ceeds from the super­uni­verse power cen­ters and per­vades each super­cre­ation. Such spe­cial­ized cur­rents of time and space are def­i­nite and lo­cal­ized en­ergy move­ments ini­ti­ated and di­rected for spe­cific pur­poses, much as the Gulf Stream func­tions as a cir­cum­scribed phe­nom­e­non in the midst of the At­lantic Ocean.

• circuits of energy › communication lanes are direct circuits between power centers or physical controllers

29:2.164. Lo­cal Uni­verse Cen­ters. On the head­quar­ters of each lo­cal uni­verse are sta­tioned one hun­dred power cen­ters of the fourth or­der. They func­tion to down­step and oth­er­wise to mod­ify the seven power cir­cuits em­a­nat­ing from super­uni­verse head­quar­ters, thus mak­ing them ap­pli­ca­ble to the ser­vices of the con­stel­la­tions and sys­tems. The lo­cal as­tro­nom­i­cal catas­tro­phes of space are of pass­ing con­cern to these power cen­ters; they are en­gaged in the or­derly dis­patch of ef­fec­tive en­ergy to the sub­sidiary con­stel­la­tions and sys­tems. They are of great as­sis­tance to the Cre­ator Sons dur­ing the later times of uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion and en­ergy mo­bi­liza­tion. These cen­ters are able to pro­vide in­ten­si­fied lanes of en­ergy use­ful for in­ter­plan­e­tary com­mu­ni­ca­tion be­tween im­por­tant in­hab­ited points. Such a lane or line of en­ergy, some­times also called an en­ergy path, is a di­rect cir­cuit of en­ergy from one power cen­ter to an­other power cen­ter or from one phys­i­cal con­trol­ler to an­other con­trol­ler. It is an in­di­vid­u­al­ized stream of power and stands in con­trast to the free space move­ments of un­dif­fer­en­ti­ated en­ergy.

• physical energy › on individual worlds in the charge of Master Physical Controllers

29:2.197. Un­clas­si­fied Cen­ters. These are the cen­ters who func­tion in spe­cial lo­cal sit­u­a­tions but not on the in­hab­ited plan­ets. The in­di­vid­ual worlds are in the charge of Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers and re­ceive the en­cir­cuited lines of power dis­patched by the power cen­ter of their sys­tem. Only those spheres of the most ex­traor­di­nary en­ergy re­la­tion­ships have power cen­ters of the sev­enth or­der act­ing as uni­verse bal­ance wheels or en­ergy gov­er­nors. In ev­ery phase of ac­tiv­ity these power cen­ters are the full equals of those who func­tion on the higher units of con­trol, but not one space body in a mil­lion har­bors such a liv­ing power or­ga­ni­za­tion.

• energy charge › in organized space
• physical energy › 3 universally distributed phases of e.; 10 forms each; each with velocity of 186,280 miles/second
• physical energy › 7 forms in 3 phases controlled by Supreme Power Centers; rest by Unqualified Absolute

29:3.10The power cen­ters and their sub­or­di­nate con­trol­lers are as­signed to the work­ing of all of the phys­i­cal en­er­gies of or­ga­nized space. They work with the three ba­sic cur­rents of ten en­er­gies each. That is the en­ergy charge of or­ga­nized space; and or­ga­nized space is their do­main. The Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors have noth­ing what­ever to do with those tremen­dous ac­tions of force which are now tak­ing place out­side the pres­ent bound­aries of the seven super­uni­verses.

29:3.11The power cen­ters and con­trol­lers ex­ert per­fect con­trol over only seven of the ten forms of en­ergy con­tained in each ba­sic uni­verse cur­rent; those forms which are partly or wholly ex­empt from their con­trol must rep­re­sent the un­pre­dictable realms of en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tion dom­i­nated by the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute. If they ex­ert an in­flu­ence upon the pri­mor­dial forces of this Ab­so­lute, we are not cog­nizant of such func­tions, though there is some slight ev­i­dence which would war­rant the opin­ion that cer­tain of the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are some­times au­to­mat­i­cally re­ac­tive to cer­tain im­pulses of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

• energy charge › of superuniverse registered by master frandalanks

29:4.2The Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers serve through­out the grand uni­verse. They are di­rectly gov­erned from Par­a­dise by the Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors as far as the head­quar­ters of the super­uni­verses; from here they are di­rected and dis­tributed by the Coun­cil of Equi­lib­rium, the high com­mis­sion­ers of power dis­patched by the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its from the per­son­nel of the As­so­ciate Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers. These high com­mis­sion­ers are em­pow­ered to in­ter­pret the read­ings and reg­is­tra­tions of the mas­ter fran­dalanks, those liv­ing in­stru­ments which in­di­cate the power pres­sure and the en­ergy charge of an en­tire super­uni­verse.

• physical energy › 3 universally distributed phases of e.; 10 forms each; each with velocity of 186,280 miles/second

29:4.20The me­chan­i­cal con­trol­lers are com­pe­tent to di­rec­tion­ize the flow of en­ergy and to fa­cil­i­tate its con­cen­tra­tion into the spe­cial­ized cur­rents or cir­cuits. These mighty be­ings have much to do with the seg­re­ga­tion, di­rec­tion­iza­tion, and in­ten­si­fi­ca­tion of the phys­i­cal en­er­gies and with the equal­iza­tion of the pres­sures of the in­ter­plan­e­tary cir­cuits. They are ex­pert in the ma­nip­u­la­tion of twenty-one of the thirty phys­i­cal en­er­gies of space, con­sti­tut­ing the power charge of a super­uni­verse. They are also able to ac­com­plish much to­wards the man­age­ment and con­trol of six of the nine more sub­tle forms of phys­i­cal en­ergy. By plac­ing these con­trol­lers in proper tech­ni­cal re­la­tion­ship to each other and to cer­tain of the power cen­ters, the as­so­ciate power di­rec­tors are en­abled to ef­fect un­be­liev­able changes in power ad­just­ment and en­ergy con­trol.

29:4.21The Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers of­ten func­tion in bat­ter­ies of hun­dreds, thou­sands, and even mil­lions and by vary­ing their po­si­tions and for­ma­tions are able to ef­fect en­ergy con­trol in a col­lec­tive as well as an in­di­vid­ual ca­pac­ity. As re­quire­ments vary, they can up­step and ac­cel­er­ate the en­ergy vol­ume and move­ment or de­tain, con­dense, and re­tard the en­ergy cur­rents. They in­flu­ence en­ergy and power trans­for­ma­tions some­what as so-called cat­alytic agents aug­ment chem­i­cal re­ac­tions. They func­tion by in­her­ent abil­ity and in co-op­er­a­tion with the Su­preme Power Cen­ters.

29:4.223. En­ergy Trans­form­ers. The num­ber of these be­ings in a super­uni­verse is un­be­liev­able. There are al­most one mil­lion in Sa­ta­nia alone, and the usual quota is one hun­dred for each in­hab­ited world.

29:4.23The en­ergy trans­form­ers are the con­joint cre­ation of the Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors and the Seven Cen­ter Super­vi­sors. They are among the more per­sonal or­ders of phys­i­cal con­trol­lers, and ex­cept when an as­so­ciate power di­rec­tor is pres­ent on an in­hab­ited world, the trans­form­ers are in com­mand. They are the plan­e­tary in­spec­tors of all de­part­ing se­raphic trans­ports. All classes of ce­les­tial life can uti­lize the less per­sonal or­ders of the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers only by li­ai­son with the more per­sonal or­ders of the as­so­ciate di­rec­tors and the en­ergy trans­form­ers.

29:4.24These trans­form­ers are pow­er­ful and ef­fec­tive liv­ing switches, be­ing able to dis­pose them­selves for or against a given power dis­po­si­tion or di­rec­tion­iza­tion. They are also skill­ful in their ef­forts to in­su­late the plan­ets against the pow­er­ful en­ergy streams pass­ing be­tween gi­gan­tic plan­e­tary and starry neigh­bors. Their en­ergy-trans­mu­tive at­tri­butes ren­der them most ser­vice­able in the im­por­tant task of main­tain­ing uni­ver­sal en­ergy bal­ance, or power equi­lib­rium. At one time they seem to con­sume or store en­ergy; at other times they ap­pear to ex­ude or lib­er­ate en­ergy. The trans­form­ers are able to in­crease or to di­min­ish the “stor­age-bat­tery” po­ten­tial of the liv­ing and dead en­er­gies of their re­spec­tive realms. But they deal only with phys­i­cal and semi­ma­te­rial en­er­gies, they do not di­rectly func­tion in the do­main of life, nei­ther do they change the forms of liv­ing be­ings.

• manipulation of energy by celestial agencies › energy transformers change physical form of energies of space

29:4.25In some re­spects the en­ergy trans­form­ers are the most re­mark­able and mys­te­ri­ous of all semi­ma­te­rial liv­ing crea­tures. They are in some un­known man­ner phys­i­cally dif­fer­en­ti­ated, and by vary­ing their li­ai­son re­la­tion­ships, they are able to ex­ert a pro­found in­flu­ence upon the en­ergy which passes through their as­so­ci­ated pres­ences. The sta­tus of the phys­i­cal realms seems to un­dergo a trans­for­ma­tion un­der their skill­ful ma­nip­u­la­tion. They can and do change the phys­i­cal form of the en­er­gies of space. With the aid of their fel­low con­trol­lers they are ac­tu­ally able to change the form and po­ten­tial of twenty-seven of the thirty phys­i­cal en­er­gies of the super­uni­verse power charge. That three of these en­er­gies are be­yond their con­trol proves that they are not in­stru­men­tal­i­ties of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

29:4.26The re­main­ing four groups of the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers are hardly per­sons within any ac­cept­able def­i­ni­tion of that word. These trans­mit­ters, as­so­ci­a­tors, dis­so­ci­a­tors, and fran­dalanks are wholly au­to­matic in their re­ac­tions; nev­er­the­less they are in ev­ery sense in­tel­li­gent. We are greatly lim­ited in our knowl­edge of these won­der­ful en­ti­ties be­cause we can­not com­mu­ni­cate with them. They ap­pear to un­der­stand the lan­guage of the realm, but they can­not com­mu­ni­cate with us. They seem fully able to re­ceive our com­mu­ni­ca­tions but quite pow­er­less to make re­sponse.

29:4.274. En­ergy Trans­mit­ters. These be­ings func­tion chiefly, but not wholly, in an in­tra­plan­e­tary ca­pac­ity. They are mar­velous dis­patch­ers of en­ergy as it is man­i­fested on the in­di­vid­ual worlds.

29:4.28When en­ergy is to be di­verted to a new cir­cuit, the trans­mit­ters de­ploy them­selves in a line along the de­sired en­ergy path, and by virtue of their unique at­tri­butes of en­ergy-at­trac­tion, they can ac­tu­ally in­duce an in­creased en­ergy flow in the de­sired di­rec­tion. This they do just as lit­er­ally as cer­tain metal­lic cir­cuits di­rec­tion­ize the flow of cer­tain forms of elec­tric en­ergy; and they are liv­ing super­con­duc­tors for more than half of the thirty forms of phys­i­cal en­ergy.

29:4.29Trans­mit­ters form skill­ful li­aisons which are ef­fec­tive in re­ha­bil­i­tat­ing the weak­en­ing cur­rents of spe­cial­ized en­ergy pass­ing from planet to planet and from sta­tion to sta­tion on an in­di­vid­ual planet. They can de­tect cur­rents which are much too fee­ble to be rec­og­nized by any other type of liv­ing be­ing, and they can so aug­ment these en­er­gies that the ac­com­pa­ny­ing mes­sage be­comes per­fectly in­tel­li­gi­ble. Their ser­vices are in­valu­able to the broad­cast re­ceivers.

29:4.30En­ergy trans­mit­ters can func­tion with re­gard to all forms of com­mu­ni­ca­ble per­cep­tion; they can ren­der a dis­tant scene “vis­i­ble” as well as a dis­tant sound “au­di­ble.” They pro­vide the emer­gency lines of com­mu­ni­ca­tion in the lo­cal sys­tems and on the in­di­vid­ual plan­ets. These ser­vices must be used by prac­ti­cally all crea­tures for pur­poses of com­mu­ni­ca­tion out­side of the reg­u­larly es­tab­lished cir­cuits.

29:4.31These be­ings, to­gether with the en­ergy trans­form­ers, are in­dis­pens­able to the main­te­nance of mor­tal ex­is­tence on those worlds hav­ing an im­pov­er­ished at­mo­sphere, and they are an in­te­gral part of the tech­nique of life on the non­breath­ing plan­ets.

29:4.325. Pri­mary As­so­ci­a­tors. These in­ter­est­ing and in­valu­able en­ti­ties are mas­terly en­ergy con­ser­va­tors and cus­to­di­ans. Some­what as a plant stores so­lar light, so do these liv­ing or­gan­isms store en­ergy dur­ing times of plus man­i­fes­ta­tions. They work on a gi­gan­tic scale, con­vert­ing the en­er­gies of space into a phys­i­cal state not known on Uran­tia. They are also able to carry for­ward these trans­for­ma­tions to the point of pro­duc­ing some of the prim­i­tive units of ma­te­rial ex­is­tence. These be­ings sim­ply act by their pres­ence. They are in no way ex­hausted or de­pleted by this func­tion; they act like liv­ing cat­alytic agents.

29:4.33Dur­ing sea­sons of mi­nus man­i­fes­ta­tions they are em­pow­ered to re­lease these ac­cu­mu­lated en­er­gies. But your knowl­edge of en­ergy and mat­ter is not suf­fi­ciently ad­vanced to make it pos­si­ble to ex­plain the tech­nique of this phase of their work. They al­ways la­bor in com­pli­ance with uni­ver­sal law, han­dling and ma­nip­u­lat­ing atoms, elec­trons, and ul­ti­ma­tons much as you ma­neu­ver ad­justable type to make the same al­pha­bet­i­cal sym­bols tell vastly dif­fer­ent sto­ries.

29:4.34The as­so­ci­a­tors are the first group of life to ap­pear on an or­ga­niz­ing ma­te­rial sphere, and they can func­tion at phys­i­cal tem­per­a­tures which you would re­gard as ut­terly in­com­pat­i­ble with the ex­is­tence of liv­ing be­ings. They rep­re­sent an or­der of life which is sim­ply be­yond the range of hu­man imag­i­na­tion. To­gether with their co-work­ers, the dis­so­ci­a­tors, they are the most slav­ish of all in­tel­li­gent crea­tures.

• manipulation of energy by celestial agencies › secondary dissociators evolve limitless supplies of

29:4.356. Sec­ondary Dis­so­ci­a­tors. Com­pared with the pri­mary as­so­ci­a­tors, these be­ings of enor­mous anti­grav­ity en­dow­ment are the re­verse work­ers. There is never any dan­ger that the spe­cial or mod­i­fied forms of phys­i­cal en­ergy on the lo­cal worlds or in the lo­cal sys­tems will be ex­hausted, for these liv­ing or­ga­ni­za­tions are en­dowed with the unique power of evolv­ing lim­it­less sup­plies of en­ergy. They are chiefly con­cerned with the evo­lu­tion of a form of en­ergy which is hardly known on Uran­tia from a form of mat­ter which is rec­og­nized still less. They are truly the al­chemists of space and the won­der-work­ers of time. But in all the won­ders they work, they never transgress the man­dates of Cos­mic Su­prem­acy.

29:4.367. The Fran­dalanks. These be­ings are the joint cre­ation of all three or­ders of en­ergy-con­trol be­ings: the pri­mary and sec­ondary force or­ga­niz­ers and the power di­rec­tors. Fran­dalanks are the most nu­mer­ous of all the Mas­ter Phys­i­cal Con­trol­lers; the num­ber func­tion­ing in Sa­ta­nia alone is be­yond your nu­mer­i­cal con­cept. They are sta­tioned on all in­hab­ited worlds and are al­ways at­tached to the higher or­ders of phys­i­cal con­trol­lers. They func­tion in­ter­change­ably in the cen­tral and super­uni­verses and in the do­mains of outer space.

29:4.37The fran­dalanks are cre­ated in thirty di­vi­sions, one for each form of ba­sic uni­verse force, and they func­tion ex­clu­sively as liv­ing and au­to­matic pres­ence, pres­sure, and ve­loc­ity gauges. These liv­ing barom­e­ters are solely con­cerned with the au­to­matic and unerring reg­is­tra­tion of the sta­tus of all forms of force-en­ergy. They are to the phys­i­cal uni­verse what the vast re­flec­tiv­ity mech­a­nism is to the minded uni­verse. The fran­dalanks that reg­is­ter time in ad­di­tion to quan­ti­ta­tive and qual­i­ta­tive en­ergy pres­ence are called chro­nol­deks.

• physical energy › variously gravity-responsive

36:6.6We speak of life as “en­ergy” and as “force,” but it is re­ally nei­ther. Force-en­ergy is var­i­ously grav­ity re­spon­sive; life is not. Pat­tern is also non­re­spon­sive to grav­ity, be­ing a con­fig­u­ra­tion of en­er­gies that have al­ready ful­filled all grav­ity-re­spon­sive obli­ga­tions. Life, as such, con­sti­tutes the an­i­ma­tion of some pat­tern-con­fig­ured or oth­er­wise seg­re­gated sys­tem of en­ergy—ma­te­rial, mindal, or spir­i­tual.

• physical energy › 3 universally distributed phases of e.; 10 forms each; each with velocity of 186,280 miles/second

39:3.9These tran­sit per­son­al­i­ties are so or­ga­nized that they can si­mul­ta­ne­ously uti­lize all three of the uni­ver­sally dis­tributed lines of en­ergy, each hav­ing a clear space ve­loc­ity of 186,280 miles per sec­ond. These trans­port­ers are thus able to super­im­pose ve­loc­ity of en­ergy upon ve­loc­ity of power un­til they at­tain an av­er­age speed on their long jour­neys vary­ing any­where from 555,000 to al­most 559,000 of your miles per sec­ond of your time. The ve­loc­ity is af­fected by the mass and prox­im­ity of neigh­bor­ing mat­ter and by the strength and di­rec­tion of the near-by main cir­cuits of uni­verse power. There are nu­mer­ous types of be­ings, sim­i­lar to the ser­a­phim, who are able to tra­verse space, and who also are able to trans­port other be­ings who have been prop­erly pre­pared.

• circuits of energy › transport seraphim travel along e. circuits

39:5.14And now, un­der the in­flu­ence of the trans­form­ers and the trans­mit­ters, a strange meta­mor­pho­sis be­gins as the ser­a­phim is made ready to swing into the en­ergy cur­rents of the uni­verse cir­cuits. To out­ward ap­pear­ance the ser­a­phim grows pointed at both ex­trem­i­ties and be­comes so en­shrouded in a queer light of am­ber hue that very soon it is im­pos­si­ble to dis­tin­guish the en­ser­a­phimed per­son­al­ity. When all is in readi­ness for de­par­ture, the chief of trans­port makes the proper in­spec­tion of the car­riage of life, car­ries out the rou­tine tests to as­cer­tain whether or not the an­gel is prop­erly en­cir­cuited, and then an­nounces that the trav­eler is prop­erly en­ser­a­phimed, that the en­er­gies are ad­justed, that the an­gel is in­su­lated, and that ev­ery­thing is in readi­ness for the de­part­ing flash. The me­chan­i­cal con­trol­lers, two of them, next take their po­si­tions. By this time the trans­port ser­a­phim has be­come an al­most trans­par­ent, vi­brat­ing, tor­pedo-shaped out­line of glis­ten­ing lu­mi­nos­ity. Now the trans­port dis­patcher of the realm sum­mons the aux­il­iary bat­ter­ies of the liv­ing en­ergy trans­mit­ters, usu­ally one thou­sand in num­ber; as he an­nounces the des­ti­na­tion of the trans­port, he reaches out and touches the near point of the se­raphic car­riage, which shoots for­ward with light­ning­like speed, leav­ing a trail of ce­les­tial lu­mi­nos­ity as far as the plan­e­tary at­mo­spheric in­vest­ment ex­tends. In less than ten min­utes the mar­velous spec­ta­cle will be lost even to re­in­forced se­raphic vi­sion.

You are fa­mil­iar with the ac­tion of veg­etable life in trans­form­ing the ma­te­rial en­ergy of light into the var­ied man­i­fes­ta­tions of the veg­etable king­dom. You also know some­thing of the method whereby this veg­e­ta­tive en­ergy can be con­verted into the phe­nom­ena of an­i­mal ac­tiv­i­ties, but you know prac­ti­cally noth­ing of the tech­nique of the power di­rec­tors and the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers, who are en­dowed with abil­ity to mo­bi­lize, trans­form, di­rec­tion­ize, and con­cen­trate the man­i­fold en­er­gies of space.

• physical energy › suns and dark giants help directionize

41:3.1There are up­ward of two thou­sand bril­liant suns pour­ing forth light and en­ergy in Sa­ta­nia, and your own sun is an av­er­age blaz­ing orb. Of the thirty suns near­est yours, only three are brighter. The Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors ini­ti­ate the spe­cial­ized cur­rents of en­ergy which play be­tween the in­di­vid­ual stars and their re­spec­tive sys­tems. These so­lar fur­naces, to­gether with the dark gi­ants of space, serve the power cen­ters and phys­i­cal con­trol­lers as way sta­tions for the ef­fec­tive con­cen­trat­ing and di­rec­tion­iz­ing of the en­ergy cir­cuits of the ma­te­rial cre­ations.

• physical energy › wave energy › e. moves through space as particles in a straight line, not as waves

41:5.6En­ergy, whether as light or in other forms, in its flight through space moves straight for­ward. The ac­tual par­ti­cles of ma­te­rial ex­is­tence tra­verse space like a fusil­lade. They go in a straight and un­bro­ken line or pro­ces­sion ex­cept as they are acted on by su­pe­rior forces, and ex­cept as they ever obey the lin­ear-grav­ity pull in­her­ent in ma­te­rial mass and the cir­cu­lar-grav­ity pres­ence of the Isle of Par­a­dise.

41:5.7So­lar en­ergy may seem to be pro­pelled in waves, but that is due to the ac­tion of co­ex­is­tent and di­verse in­flu­ences. A given form of or­ga­nized en­ergy does not pro­ceed in waves but in di­rect lines. The pres­ence of a sec­ond or a third form of force-en­ergy may cause the stream un­der ob­ser­va­tion to ap­pear to travel in wavy for­ma­tion, just as, in a blind­ing rain­storm ac­com­pa­nied by a heavy wind, the wa­ter some­times ap­pears to fall in sheets or to de­scend in waves. The rain­drops are com­ing down in a di­rect line of un­bro­ken pro­ces­sion, but the ac­tion of the wind is such as to give the vis­i­ble ap­pear­ance of sheets of wa­ter and waves of rain­drops.

• physical energy › wave energy › spacing of particles in force-charge of space gives undulatory appearance

41:5.8The ac­tion of cer­tain sec­ondary and other undis­cov­ered en­er­gies pres­ent in the space re­gions of your lo­cal uni­verse is such that so­lar-light em­a­na­tions ap­pear to ex­e­cute cer­tain wavy phe­nom­ena as well as to be chopped up into in­finites­i­mal por­tions of def­i­nite length and weight. And, prac­ti­cally con­sid­ered, that is ex­actly what hap­pens. You can hardly hope to ar­rive at a bet­ter un­der­stand­ing of the be­hav­ior of light un­til such a time as you ac­quire a clearer con­cept of the in­ter­ac­tion and in­ter­re­la­tion­ship of the var­i­ous space-forces and so­lar en­er­gies op­er­at­ing in the space re­gions of Neb­a­don. Your pres­ent con­fu­sion is also due to your in­com­plete grasp of this prob­lem as it in­volves the in­teras­so­ci­ated ac­tiv­i­ties of the per­sonal and non­per­sonal con­trol of the mas­ter uni­verse—the pres­ences, the per­for­mances, and the co-or­di­na­tion of the Con­joint Ac­tor and the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

• circuits of energy › only suns in direct channels will shine on forever

41:7.14Only those suns which func­tion in the di­rect chan­nels of the main streams of uni­verse en­ergy can shine on for­ever. Such so­lar fur­naces blaze on in­def­i­nitely, be­ing able to re­plen­ish their ma­te­rial losses by the in­take of space-force and anal­o­gous cir­cu­lat­ing en­ergy. But stars far re­moved from these chief chan­nels of recharg­ing are des­tined to un­dergo en­ergy de­ple­tion—grad­u­ally cool off and even­tu­ally burn out.

• physical energy › stellar explosions due to ultimatonic condensation become energy of rarest form

41:7.15Such dead or dy­ing suns can be re­ju­ve­nated by col­li­sional im­pact or can be recharged by cer­tain non­lu­mi­nous en­ergy is­lands of space or through grav­ity-rob­bery of near-by smaller suns or sys­tems. The ma­jor­ity of dead suns will ex­pe­ri­ence re­viv­i­fi­ca­tion by these or other evo­lu­tion­ary tech­niques. Those which are not thus even­tu­ally recharged are des­tined to un­dergo dis­rup­tion by mass ex­plo­sion when the grav­ity con­den­sa­tion at­tains the crit­i­cal level of ul­ti­ma­tonic con­den­sa­tion of en­ergy pres­sure. Such dis­ap­pear­ing suns thus be­come en­ergy of the rarest form, ad­mirably adapted to en­er­gize other more fa­vor­ably sit­u­ated suns.

42:0.1The foun­da­tion of the uni­verse is ma­te­rial in the sense that en­ergy is the ba­sis of all ex­is­tence, and pure en­ergy is con­trolled by the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. Force, en­ergy, is the one thing which stands as an ev­er­last­ing mon­u­ment demon­strat­ing and prov­ing the ex­is­tence and pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute. This vast stream of en­ergy pro­ceed­ing from the Par­a­dise Pres­ences has never lapsed, never failed; there has never been a break in the in­fi­nite up­hold­ing.

• manipulation of energy by celestial agencies › all universe e. subject to Father’s personal will

42:0.2The ma­nip­u­la­tion of uni­verse en­ergy is ever in ac­cor­dance with the per­sonal will and the all-wise man­dates of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. This per­sonal con­trol of man­i­fested power and cir­cu­lat­ing en­ergy is mod­i­fied by the co-or­di­nate acts and de­ci­sions of the Eter­nal Son, as well as by the united pur­poses of the Son and the Fa­ther ex­e­cuted by the Con­joint Ac­tor. These di­vine be­ings act per­son­ally and as in­di­vid­u­als; they also func­tion in the per­sons and pow­ers of an al­most un­lim­ited num­ber of sub­or­di­nates, each var­i­ously ex­pres­sive of the eter­nal and di­vine pur­pose in the uni­verse of uni­verses. But these func­tional and pro­vi­sional mod­i­fi­ca­tions or trans­mu­ta­tions of di­vine power in no way lessen the truth of the state­ment that all force-en­ergy is un­der the ul­ti­mate con­trol of a per­sonal God res­i­dent at the cen­ter of all things.

• physical energy › e. is basis of all existence

42:1.1The foun­da­tion of the uni­verse is ma­te­rial, but the essence of life is spirit. The Fa­ther of spir­its is also the an­ces­tor of uni­verses; the eter­nal Fa­ther of the Orig­i­nal Son is also the eter­nity-source of the orig­i­nal pat­tern, the Isle of Par­a­dise.

42:1.3There is in­nate in mat­ter and pres­ent in uni­ver­sal space a form of en­ergy not known on Uran­tia. When this dis­cov­ery is fi­nally made, then will physi­cists feel that they have solved, al­most at least, the mys­tery of mat­ter. And so will they have ap­proached one step nearer the Cre­ator; so will they have mas­tered one more phase of the di­vine tech­nique; but in no sense will they have found God, nei­ther will they have es­tab­lished the ex­is­tence of mat­ter or the op­er­a­tion of nat­u­ral laws apart from the cos­mic tech­nique of Par­a­dise and the mo­ti­vat­ing pur­pose of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

42:1.5The cre­ation of en­ergy and the be­stowal of life are the pre­rog­a­tives of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and his as­so­ciate Cre­ator per­son­al­i­ties. The river of en­ergy and life is a con­tin­u­ous out­pour­ing from the De­i­ties, the uni­ver­sal and united stream of Par­a­dise force go­ing forth to all space. This di­vine en­ergy per­vades all cre­ation. The force or­ga­niz­ers ini­ti­ate those changes and in­sti­tute those mod­i­fi­ca­tions of space-force which even­tu­ate in en­ergy; the power di­rec­tors trans­mute en­ergy into mat­ter; thus the ma­te­rial worlds are born. The Life Car­ri­ers ini­ti­ate those pro­cesses in dead mat­ter which we call life, ma­te­rial life. The Mor­ontia Power Super­vi­sors like­wise per­form through­out the tran­si­tion realms be­tween the ma­te­rial and the spir­i­tual worlds. The higher spirit Cre­ators in­au­gu­rate sim­i­lar pro­cesses in di­vine forms of en­ergy, and there en­sue the higher spirit forms of in­tel­li­gent life.

• physical energy › e. is transmutable but eternal, indestructible

42:1.6En­ergy pro­ceeds from Par­a­dise, fash­ioned af­ter the di­vine or­der. En­ergy—pure en­ergy—par­takes of the na­ture of the di­vine or­ga­ni­za­tion; it is fash­ioned af­ter the simil­i­tude of the three Gods em­braced in one, as they func­tion at the head­quar­ters of the uni­verse of uni­verses. And all force is cir­cuited in Par­a­dise, comes from the Par­a­dise Pres­ences and re­turns thereto, and is in essence a man­i­fes­ta­tion of the un­caused Cause—the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther; and with­out the Fa­ther would not any­thing ex­ist that does ex­ist.

42:1.7Force de­rived from self-ex­is­tent De­ity is in it­self ever ex­is­tent. Force-en­ergy is im­per­ish­able, in­de­struc­tible; these man­i­fes­ta­tions of the In­fi­nite may be sub­ject to un­lim­ited trans­mu­ta­tion, end­less trans­for­ma­tion, and eter­nal meta­mor­pho­sis; but in no sense or de­gree, not even to the slight­est imag­in­able ex­tent, could they or ever shall they suf­fer ex­tinc­tion. But en­ergy, though spring­ing from the In­fi­nite, is not in­finitely man­i­fest; there are outer lim­its to the pres­ently con­ceived mas­ter uni­verse.

• Paradise source of energy › all force-energy comes from, and returns to, nether Paradise

42:1.8En­ergy is eter­nal but not in­fi­nite; it ever re­sponds to the all-em­brac­ing grasp of In­fin­ity. For­ever force and en­ergy go on; hav­ing gone out from Par­a­dise, they must re­turn thereto, even if age upon age be re­quired for the com­ple­tion of the or­dained cir­cuit. That which is of Par­a­dise De­ity ori­gin can have only a Par­a­dise des­ti­na­tion or a De­ity des­tiny.

• physical energy › term denotes phenomenal motion, action, and potential

42:2.1It is in­deed dif­fi­cult to find suit­able words in the En­glish lan­guage whereby to des­ig­nate and where­with to de­scribe the var­i­ous lev­els of force and en­ergy—phys­i­cal, mindal, or spir­i­tual. These nar­ra­tives can­not al­to­gether fol­low your ac­cepted def­i­ni­tions of force, en­ergy, and power. There is such paucity of lan­guage that we must use these terms in mul­ti­ple mean­ings. In this pa­per, for ex­am­ple, the word en­ergy is used to de­note all phases and forms of phe­nom­e­nal mo­tion, ac­tion, and po­ten­tial, while force is ap­plied to the pre­grav­ity, and power to the post­grav­ity, stages of en­ergy.

42:2.2I will, how­ever, en­deavor to lessen con­cep­tual con­fu­sion by sug­gest­ing the ad­vis­abil­ity of adopt­ing the fol­low­ing clas­si­fi­ca­tion for cos­mic force, emer­gent en­ergy, and uni­verse power—phys­i­cal en­ergy:

42:2.31. Space po­tency. This is the un­ques­tioned free space pres­ence of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute. The ex­ten­sion of this con­cept con­notes the uni­verse force-space po­ten­tial in­her­ent in the func­tional to­tal­ity of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute, while the in­ten­sion of this con­cept im­plies the to­tal­ity of cos­mic re­al­ity—uni­verses—which em­anated eter­ni­ty­wise from the never-be­gin­ning, never-end­ing, never-mov­ing, never-chang­ing Isle of Par­a­dise.

42:2.4The phe­nom­ena in­dige­nous to the nether side of Par­a­dise prob­a­bly em­brace three zones of ab­so­lute force pres­ence and per­for­mance: the ful­cral zone of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute, the zone of the Isle of Par­a­dise it­self, and the in­ter­ven­ing zone of cer­tain uniden­ti­fied equal­iz­ing and com­pen­sat­ing agen­cies or func­tions. These tri­con­cen­tric zones are the cen­trum of the Par­a­dise cy­cle of cos­mic re­al­ity.

42:2.5Space po­tency is a pre­re­al­ity; it is the do­main of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute and is re­spon­sive only to the per­sonal grasp of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, not­with­stand­ing that it is seem­ingly mod­i­fi­able by the pres­ence of the Pri­mary Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers.

42:2.6On Uversa, space po­tency is spo­ken of as AB­SO­LUTA.

42:2.72. Pri­mor­dial force. This rep­re­sents the first ba­sic change in space po­tency and may be one of the nether Par­a­dise func­tions of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute. We know that the space pres­ence go­ing out from nether Par­a­dise is mod­i­fied in some man­ner from that which is in­com­ing. But re­gard­less of any such pos­si­ble re­la­tion­ships, the openly rec­og­nized trans­mu­ta­tion of space po­tency into pri­mor­dial force is the pri­mary dif­fer­en­ti­at­ing func­tion of the ten­sion-pres­ence of the liv­ing Par­a­dise force or­ga­niz­ers.

42:2.8Pas­sive and po­ten­tial force be­comes ac­tive and pri­mor­dial in re­sponse to the re­sis­tance af­forded by the space pres­ence of the Pri­mary Even­tu­ated Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers. Force is now emerg­ing from the ex­clu­sive do­main of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute into the realms of mul­ti­ple re­sponse—re­sponse to cer­tain pri­mal mo­tions ini­ti­ated by the God of Ac­tion and there­upon to cer­tain com­pen­sat­ing mo­tions em­a­nat­ing from the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute. Pri­mor­dial force is seem­ingly re­ac­tive to tran­scen­den­tal cau­sa­tion in pro­por­tion to ab­so­lute­ness.

42:2.9Pri­mor­dial force is some­times spo­ken of as pure en­ergy; on Uversa we re­fer to it as SEG­RE­GATA.

42:2.103. Emer­gent en­er­gies. The pas­sive pres­ence of the pri­mary force or­ga­niz­ers is suf­fi­cient to trans­form space po­tency into pri­mor­dial force, and it is upon such an ac­ti­vated space field that these same force or­ga­niz­ers be­gin their ini­tial and ac­tive op­er­a­tions. Pri­mor­dial force is des­tined to pass through two dis­tinct phases of trans­mu­ta­tion in the realms of en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tion be­fore ap­pear­ing as uni­verse power. These two lev­els of emerg­ing en­ergy are:

42:2.11a. Puis­sant en­ergy. This is the pow­er­ful-di­rec­tional, mass-move­mented, mighty-ten­sioned, and forcible-re­act­ing en­ergy—gi­gan­tic en­ergy sys­tems set in mo­tion by the ac­tiv­i­ties of the pri­mary force or­ga­niz­ers. This pri­mary or puis­sant en­ergy is not at first def­i­nitely re­spon­sive to the Par­a­dise-grav­ity pull though prob­a­bly yield­ing an ag­gre­gate-mass or space-di­rec­tional re­sponse to the col­lec­tive group of ab­so­lute in­flu­ences op­er­a­tive from the nether side of Par­a­dise. When en­ergy emerges to the level of ini­tial re­sponse to the cir­cu­lar and ab­so­lute-grav­ity grasp of Par­a­dise, the pri­mary force or­ga­niz­ers give way to the func­tion­ing of their sec­ondary as­so­ciates.

• types of energy › gravity energy

42:2.12b. Grav­ity en­ergy. The now-ap­pear­ing grav­ity-re­spond­ing en­ergy car­ries the po­ten­tial of uni­verse power and be­comes the ac­tive an­ces­tor of all uni­verse mat­ter. This sec­ondary or grav­ity en­ergy is the prod­uct of the en­ergy elab­o­ra­tion re­sult­ing from the pres­sure-pres­ence and the ten­sion-trends set up by the As­so­ciate Tran­scen­den­tal Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers. In re­sponse to the work of these force ma­nip­u­la­tors, space-en­ergy rapidly passes from the puis­sant to the grav­ity stage, thus be­com­ing di­rectly re­spon­sive to the cir­cu­lar grasp of Par­a­dise (ab­so­lute) grav­ity while dis­clos­ing a cer­tain po­ten­tial for sen­si­tiv­ity to the lin­ear-grav­ity pull in­her­ent in the soon ap­pear­ing ma­te­rial mass of the elec­tronic and the post­elec­tronic stages of en­ergy and mat­ter. Upon the ap­pear­ance of grav­ity re­sponse, the As­so­ciate Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers may re­tire from the en­ergy cy­clones of space pro­vided the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors are assignable to that field of ac­tion.

42:2.13We are quite un­cer­tain re­gard­ing the ex­act causes of the early stages of force evo­lu­tion, but we rec­og­nize the in­tel­li­gent ac­tion of the Ul­ti­mate in both lev­els of emer­gent-en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tion. Puis­sant and grav­ity en­er­gies, when re­garded col­lec­tively, are spo­ken of on Uversa as UL­TI­MATA.

• physical energy › 7 forms in 3 phases controlled by Supreme Power Centers; rest by Unqualified Absolute
• physical energy › 30 e. segregations of superuniverses

42:2.144. Uni­verse power. Space-force has been changed into space-en­ergy and thence into the en­ergy of grav­ity con­trol. Thus has phys­i­cal en­ergy been ripened to that point where it can be di­rected into chan­nels of power and made to serve the man­i­fold pur­poses of the uni­verse Cre­ators. This work is car­ried on by the ver­sa­tile di­rec­tors, cen­ters, and con­trol­lers of phys­i­cal en­ergy in the grand uni­verse—the or­ga­nized and in­hab­ited cre­ations. These Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors as­sume the more or less com­plete con­trol of twenty-one of the thirty phases of en­ergy con­sti­tut­ing the pres­ent en­ergy sys­tem of the seven super­uni­verses. This do­main of power-en­ergy-mat­ter is the realm of the in­tel­li­gent ac­tiv­i­ties of the Sev­en­fold, func­tion­ing un­der the time-space over­con­trol of the Su­preme.

42:2.15On Uversa we re­fer to the realm of uni­verse power as GRAVITA.

42:2.165. Ha­vona en­ergy. In con­cept this nar­ra­tive has been mov­ing Par­adis­e­ward as trans­mut­ing space-force has been fol­lowed, level by level, to the work­ing level of the en­ergy-power of the uni­verses of time and space. Con­tin­u­ing Par­adis­e­ward, there is next en­coun­tered a pre-ex­is­tent phase of en­ergy which is char­ac­ter­is­tic of the cen­tral uni­verse. Here the evo­lu­tion­ary cy­cle seems to turn back upon it­self; en­ergy-power now seems to be­gin to swing back to­wards force, but force of a na­ture very un­like that of space po­tency and pri­mor­dial force. Ha­vona en­ergy sys­tems are not dual; they are tri­une. This is the ex­is­ten­tial en­ergy do­main of the Con­joint Ac­tor, func­tion­ing in be­half of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

42:2.17On Uversa these en­er­gies of Ha­vona are known as TRI­ATA.

42:2.186. Tran­scen­den­tal en­ergy. This en­ergy sys­tem op­er­ates on and from the up­per level of Par­a­dise and only in con­nec­tion with the ab­so­nite peo­ples. On Uversa it is de­nom­i­nated TRA­NOSTA.

42:2.197. Monota. En­ergy is close of kin to di­vin­ity when it is Par­a­dise en­ergy. We in­cline to the be­lief that monota is the liv­ing, non­spirit en­ergy of Par­a­dise—an eter­nity coun­ter­part of the liv­ing, spirit en­ergy of the Orig­i­nal Son—hence the non­spir­i­tual en­ergy sys­tem of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

42:2.20We can­not dif­fer­en­ti­ate the na­ture of Par­a­dise spirit and Par­a­dise monota; they are ap­par­ently alike. They have dif­fer­ent names, but you can hardly be told very much about a re­al­ity whose spir­i­tual and whose non­spir­i­tual man­i­fes­ta­tions are dis­tin­guish­able only by name.

42:2.21We know that fi­nite crea­tures can at­tain the wor­ship ex­pe­ri­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther through the min­istry of God the Sev­en­fold and the Thought Ad­justers, but we doubt that any sub­ab­so­lute per­son­al­ity, even power di­rec­tors, can com­pre­hend the en­ergy in­fin­ity of the First Great Source and Cen­ter. One thing is cer­tain: If the power di­rec­tors are con­ver­sant with the tech­nique of the meta­mor­pho­sis of space-force, they do not re­veal the se­cret to the rest of us. It is my opin­ion that they do not fully com­pre­hend the func­tion of the force or­ga­niz­ers.

• manipulation of energy by celestial agencies › power directors by their presence cause e. to segment or assemble into matter

42:2.22These power di­rec­tors them­selves are en­ergy cat­alyz­ers; that is, they cause en­ergy to seg­ment, or­ga­nize, or as­sem­ble in unit for­ma­tion by their pres­ence. And all this im­plies that there must be some­thing in­her­ent in en­ergy which causes it thus to func­tion in the pres­ence of these power en­ti­ties. The Neb­a­don Mel­chiz­e­deks long since de­nom­i­nated the phe­nom­e­non of the trans­mu­ta­tion of cos­mic force into uni­verse power as one of the seven “in­fini­ties of di­vin­ity.” And that is as far as you will ad­vance on this point dur­ing your lo­cal uni­verse as­cen­sion.

42:2.23Not­with­stand­ing our in­abil­ity fully to com­pre­hend the ori­gin, na­ture, and trans­mu­ta­tions of cos­mic force, we are fully con­ver­sant with all phases of emer­gent-en­ergy be­hav­ior from the times of its di­rect and un­mis­tak­able re­sponse to the ac­tion of Par­a­dise grav­ity—about the time of the be­gin­ning of the func­tion of the super­uni­verse power di­rec­tors.

• physical energy › same thing as light, heat, electricity, magnetism, chemism, and matter

42:4.1Light, heat, elec­tric­ity, mag­netism, chem­ism, en­ergy, and mat­ter are—in ori­gin, na­ture, and des­tiny—one and the same thing, to­gether with other ma­te­rial re­al­i­ties as yet undis­cov­ered on Uran­tia.

42:4.2We do not fully com­pre­hend the al­most end­less changes to which phys­i­cal en­ergy may be sub­ject. In one uni­verse it ap­pears as light, in an­other as light plus heat, in an­other as forms of en­ergy un­known on Uran­tia; in un­told mil­lions of years it may reap­pear as some form of rest­less, surg­ing elec­tri­cal en­ergy or mag­netic power; and still later on it may again ap­pear in a sub­se­quent uni­verse as some form of vari­able mat­ter go­ing through a se­ries of meta­mor­phoses, to be fol­lowed by its out­ward phys­i­cal dis­ap­pear­ance in some great cat­a­clysm of the realms. And then, af­ter count­less ages and al­most end­less wan­der­ing through num­ber­less uni­verses, again may this same en­ergy re-emerge and many times change its form and po­ten­tial; and so do these trans­for­ma­tions con­tinue through suc­ces­sive ages and through­out count­less realms. Thus mat­ter sweeps on, un­der­go­ing the trans­mu­ta­tions of time but swing­ing ever true to the cir­cle of eter­nity; even if long pre­vented from re­turn­ing to its source, it is ever re­spon­sive thereto, and it ever pro­ceeds in the path or­dained by the In­fi­nite Per­son­al­ity who sent it forth.

42:4.3The power cen­ters and their as­so­ciates are much con­cerned in the work of trans­mut­ing the ul­ti­ma­ton into the cir­cuits and rev­o­lu­tions of the elec­tron. These unique be­ings con­trol and com­pound power by their skill­ful ma­nip­u­la­tion of the ba­sic units of ma­te­ri­al­ized en­ergy, the ul­ti­ma­tons. They are mas­ters of en­ergy as it cir­cu­lates in this prim­i­tive state. In li­ai­son with the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers they are able to ef­fec­tively con­trol and di­rect en­ergy even af­ter it has trans­muted to the elec­tri­cal level, the so-called elec­tronic stage. But their range of ac­tion is enor­mously cur­tailed when elec­tron­i­cally or­ga­nized en­ergy swings into the whirls of the atomic sys­tems. Upon such ma­te­ri­al­iza­tion, these en­er­gies fall un­der the com­plete grasp of the draw­ing power of lin­ear grav­ity.

42:4.4Grav­ity acts pos­i­tively on the power lanes and en­ergy chan­nels of the power cen­ters and the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers, but these be­ings have only a neg­a­tive re­la­tion to grav­ity—the ex­er­cise of their anti­grav­ity en­dow­ments.

42:4.5Through­out all space, cold and other in­flu­ences are at work cre­atively or­ga­niz­ing ul­ti­ma­tons into elec­trons. Heat is the mea­sure­ment of elec­tronic ac­tiv­ity, while cold merely sig­ni­fies ab­sence of heat—com­par­a­tive en­ergy rest—the sta­tus of the uni­ver­sal force-charge of space pro­vided nei­ther emer­gent en­ergy nor or­ga­nized mat­ter were pres­ent and re­spond­ing to grav­ity.

42:4.6Grav­ity pres­ence and ac­tion is what pre­vents the ap­pear­ance of the the­o­ret­i­cal ab­so­lute zero, for in­ter­stel­lar space does not have the tem­per­a­ture of ab­so­lute zero. Through­out all or­ga­nized space there are grav­ity-re­spond­ing en­ergy cur­rents, power cir­cuits, and ul­ti­ma­tonic ac­tiv­i­ties, as well as or­ga­niz­ing elec­tronic en­er­gies. Prac­ti­cally speak­ing, space is not empty. Even the at­mo­sphere of Uran­tia thins out in­creas­ingly un­til at about three thou­sand miles it be­gins to shade off into the av­er­age space mat­ter in this sec­tion of the uni­verse. The most nearly empty space known in Neb­a­don would yield about one hun­dred ul­ti­ma­tons—the equiv­a­lent of one elec­tron—in each cu­bic inch. Such scarcity of mat­ter is re­garded as prac­ti­cally empty space.

42:4.7Tem­per­a­ture—heat and cold—is sec­ondary only to grav­ity in the realms of en­ergy and mat­ter evo­lu­tion. Ul­ti­ma­tons are humbly obe­di­ent to tem­per­a­ture ex­tremes. Low tem­per­a­tures fa­vor cer­tain forms of elec­tronic con­struc­tion and atomic as­sem­bly, while high tem­per­a­tures fa­cil­i­tate all sorts of atomic breakup and ma­te­rial dis­in­te­gra­tion.

42:4.8When sub­jected to the heat and pres­sure of cer­tain in­ter­nal so­lar states, all but the most prim­i­tive as­so­ci­a­tions of mat­ter may be bro­ken up. Heat can thus largely over­come grav­ity sta­bil­ity. But no known so­lar heat or pres­sure can con­vert ul­ti­ma­tons back into puis­sant en­ergy.

• physical energy › space and cold turn e. into matter
• physical energy › suns almost wholly transmute e. into light
• physical energy › wave energy › e. moves through space as particles in a straight line, not as waves

42:4.9The blaz­ing suns can trans­form mat­ter into var­i­ous forms of en­ergy, but the dark worlds and all outer space can slow down elec­tronic and ul­ti­ma­tonic ac­tiv­ity to the point of con­vert­ing these en­er­gies into the mat­ter of the realms. Cer­tain elec­tronic as­so­ci­a­tions of a close na­ture, as well as many of the ba­sic as­so­ci­a­tions of nu­clear mat­ter, are formed in the ex­ceed­ingly low tem­per­a­tures of open space, be­ing later aug­mented by as­so­ci­a­tion with larger ac­cre­tions of ma­te­ri­al­iz­ing en­ergy.

42:4.10Through­out all of this never-end­ing meta­mor­pho­sis of en­ergy and mat­ter we must reckon with the in­flu­ence of grav­ity pres­sure and with the anti­grav­ity be­hav­ior of the ul­ti­ma­tonic en­er­gies un­der cer­tain con­di­tions of tem­per­a­ture, ve­loc­ity, and rev­o­lu­tion. Tem­per­a­ture, en­ergy cur­rents, dis­tance, and the pres­ence of the liv­ing force or­ga­niz­ers and the power di­rec­tors also have a bear­ing on all trans­mu­ta­tion phe­nom­ena of en­ergy and mat­ter.

• physical energy › formula equating e. to matter

42:4.11The in­crease of mass in mat­ter is equal to the in­crease of en­ergy di­vided by the square of the ve­loc­ity of light. In a dy­namic sense the work which rest­ing mat­ter can per­form is equal to the en­ergy ex­pended in bring­ing its parts to­gether from Par­a­dise mi­nus the re­sis­tance of the forces over­come in tran­sit and the at­trac­tion ex­erted by the parts of mat­ter on one an­other.

42:4.12The ex­is­tence of pre-elec­tronic forms of mat­ter is in­di­cated by the two atomic weights of lead. The lead of orig­i­nal for­ma­tion weighs slightly more than that pro­duced through ura­nium dis­in­te­gra­tion by way of ra­dium em­a­na­tions; and this dif­fer­ence in atomic weight rep­re­sents the ac­tual loss of en­ergy in the atomic breakup.

• physical energy › released only in quanta

42:4.13The rel­a­tive in­tegrity of mat­ter is as­sured by the fact that en­ergy can be ab­sorbed or re­leased only in those ex­act amounts which Uran­tia sci­en­tists have des­ig­nated quanta. This wise pro­vi­sion in the ma­te­rial realms serves to main­tain the uni­verses as go­ing con­cerns.

• physical energy › wave energy › ripples are 860 times diameters of units

42:4.14The quan­tity of en­ergy taken in or given out when elec­tronic or other po­si­tions are shifted is al­ways a “quan­tum” or some mul­ti­ple thereof, but the vi­bra­tory or wave­like be­hav­ior of such units of en­ergy is wholly de­ter­mined by the di­men­sions of the ma­te­rial struc­tures con­cerned. Such wave­like en­ergy rip­ples are 860 times the di­am­e­ters of the ul­ti­ma­tons, elec­trons, atoms, or other units thus per­form­ing. The never-end­ing con­fu­sion at­tend­ing the ob­ser­va­tion of the wave me­chan­ics of quan­tum be­hav­ior is due to the super­im­po­si­tion of en­ergy waves: Two crests can com­bine to make a dou­ble-height crest, while a crest and a trough may com­bine, thus pro­duc­ing mu­tual can­cel­la­tion.

42:5.1In the super­uni­verse of Or­von­ton there are one hun­dred oc­taves of wave en­ergy. Of these one hun­dred groups of en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tions, sixty-four are wholly or par­tially rec­og­nized on Uran­tia. The sun’s rays con­sti­tute four oc­taves in the super­uni­verse scale, the vis­i­ble rays em­brac­ing a sin­gle oc­tave, num­ber forty-six in this se­ries. The ul­tra­vi­o­let group comes next, while ten oc­taves up are the X rays, fol­lowed by the gamma rays of ra­dium. Thirty-two oc­taves above the vis­i­ble light of the sun are the outer-space en­ergy rays so fre­quently com­min­gled with their as­so­ci­ated highly en­er­gized minute par­ti­cles of mat­ter. Next down­ward from vis­i­ble sun­light ap­pear the in­frared rays, and thirty oc­taves be­low are the ra­dio trans­mis­sion group.

42:5.2Wave­like en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tions—from the stand­point of twen­ti­eth-cen­tury Uran­tia sci­en­tific en­light­en­ment—may be clas­si­fied into the fol­low­ing ten groups:

42:5.31. In­fraulti­ma­tonic rays—the bor­der­land rev­o­lu­tions of ul­ti­ma­tons as they be­gin to as­sume def­i­nite form. This is the first stage of emer­gent en­ergy in which wave­like phe­nom­ena can be de­tected and mea­sured.

• physical energy › stored in ultimatons; when ultimatons aggregate into electrons

42:5.42. Ul­ti­ma­tonic rays. The as­sem­bly of en­ergy into the minute spheres of the ul­ti­ma­tons oc­ca­sions vi­bra­tions in the con­tent of space which are dis­cern­i­ble and mea­sur­able. And long be­fore physi­cists ever dis­cover the ul­ti­ma­ton, they will un­doubt­edly de­tect the phe­nom­ena of these rays as they shower in upon Uran­tia. These short and pow­er­ful rays rep­re­sent the ini­tial ac­tiv­ity of the ul­ti­ma­tons as they are slowed down to that point where they veer to­wards the elec­tronic or­ga­ni­za­tion of mat­ter. As the ul­ti­ma­tons ag­gre­gate into elec­trons, con­den­sa­tion oc­curs with a con­se­quent stor­age of en­ergy.

42:5.53. The short space rays. These are the short­est of all purely elec­tronic vi­bra­tions and rep­re­sent the preatomic stage of this form of mat­ter. These rays re­quire ex­traor­di­nar­ily high or low tem­per­a­tures for their pro­duc­tion. There are two sorts of these space rays: one at­ten­dant upon the birth of atoms and the other in­dica­tive of atomic dis­rup­tion. They em­anate in the largest quan­ti­ties from the dens­est plane of the super­uni­verse, the Milky Way, which is also the dens­est plane of the outer uni­verses.

• physical energy › given off when electrons pass to lower e. orbits
• physical energy › released only in quanta

42:5.64. The elec­tronic stage. This stage of en­ergy is the ba­sis of all ma­te­ri­al­iza­tion in the seven super­uni­verses. When elec­trons pass from higher to lower en­ergy lev­els of or­bital rev­o­lu­tion, quanta are al­ways given off. Or­bital shift­ing of elec­trons re­sults in the ejec­tion or the ab­sorp­tion of very def­i­nite and uni­form mea­sur­able par­ti­cles of light-en­ergy, while the in­di­vid­ual elec­tron al­ways gives up a par­ti­cle of light-en­ergy when sub­jected to col­li­sion. Wave­like en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tions also at­tend upon the per­for­mances of the pos­i­tive bod­ies and the other mem­bers of the elec­tronic stage.

42:5.75. Gamma rays—those em­a­na­tions which char­ac­ter­ize the spon­ta­neous dis­so­ci­a­tion of atomic mat­ter. The best il­lus­tra­tion of this form of elec­tronic ac­tiv­ity is in the phe­nom­ena as­so­ci­ated with ra­dium dis­in­te­gra­tion.

42:5.86. The X-ray group. The next step in the slow­ing down of the elec­tron yields the var­i­ous forms of so­lar X rays to­gether with ar­ti­fi­cially gen­er­ated X rays. The elec­tronic charge cre­ates an elec­tric field; move­ment gives rise to an elec­tric cur­rent; the cur­rent pro­duces a mag­netic field. When an elec­tron is sud­denly stopped, the re­sul­tant elec­tro­mag­netic com­mo­tion pro­duces the X ray; the X ray is that dis­tur­bance. The so­lar X rays are iden­ti­cal with those which are me­chan­i­cally gen­er­ated for ex­plor­ing the in­te­rior of the hu­man body ex­cept that they are a tri­fle longer.

42:5.97. The ul­tra­vi­o­let or chem­i­cal rays of sun­light and the var­i­ous me­chan­i­cal pro­duc­tions.

42:5.108. The white light—the whole vis­i­ble light of the suns.

42:5.119. In­frared rays—the slow­ing down of elec­tronic ac­tiv­ity still nearer the stage of ap­pre­cia­ble heat.

42:5.1210. Hertzian waves—those en­er­gies uti­lized on Uran­tia for broad­cast­ing.

42:5.13Of all these ten phases of wave­like en­ergy ac­tiv­ity, the hu­man eye can re­act to just one oc­tave, the whole light of or­di­nary sun­light.

• physical energy › wave energy › passage of energy particles through absoluta, segregata, creates wave appearance

42:5.14The so-called ether is merely a col­lec­tive name to des­ig­nate a group of force and en­ergy ac­tiv­i­ties oc­cur­ring in space. Ul­ti­ma­tons, elec­trons, and other mass ag­gre­ga­tions of en­ergy are uni­form par­ti­cles of mat­ter, and in their tran­sit through space they re­ally pro­ceed in di­rect lines. Light and all other forms of rec­og­niz­able en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tions con­sist of a suc­ces­sion of def­i­nite en­ergy par­ti­cles which pro­ceed in di­rect lines ex­cept as mod­i­fied by grav­ity and other in­ter­ven­ing forces. That these pro­ces­sions of en­ergy par­ti­cles ap­pear as wave phe­nom­ena when sub­jected to cer­tain ob­ser­va­tions is due to the re­sis­tance of the un­dif­fer­en­ti­ated force blan­ket of all space, the hy­po­thet­i­cal ether, and to the in­ter­grav­ity ten­sion of the as­so­ci­ated ag­gre­ga­tions of mat­ter. The spac­ing of the par­ti­cle-in­ter­vals of mat­ter, to­gether with the ini­tial ve­loc­ity of the en­ergy beams, es­tab­lishes the un­du­la­tory ap­pear­ance of many forms of en­ergy-mat­ter.

42:5.15The ex­ci­ta­tion of the con­tent of space pro­duces a wave­like re­ac­tion to the pas­sage of rapidly mov­ing par­ti­cles of mat­ter, just as the pas­sage of a ship through wa­ter ini­ti­ates waves of vary­ing am­pli­tude and in­ter­val.

42:5.16Pri­mor­dial-force be­hav­ior does give rise to phe­nom­ena which are in many ways anal­o­gous to your pos­tu­lated ether. Space is not empty; the spheres of all space whirl and plunge on through a vast ocean of out­spread force-en­ergy; nei­ther is the space con­tent of an atom empty. Nev­er­the­less there is no ether, and the very ab­sence of this hy­po­thet­i­cal ether en­ables the in­hab­ited planet to es­cape falling into the sun and the en­cir­cling elec­tron to re­sist falling into the nu­cleus.

• physical energy › wave energy › wavelike e. extension of electrons near nucleus

42:7.8While atoms may con­tain from one to one hun­dred or­bital elec­trons, only the outer ten elec­trons of the larger atoms re­volve about the cen­tral nu­cleus as dis­tinct and dis­crete bod­ies, in­tactly and com­pactly swing­ing around on pre­cise and def­i­nite or­bits. The thirty elec­trons near­est the cen­ter are dif­fi­cult of ob­ser­va­tion or de­tec­tion as sep­a­rate and or­ga­nized bod­ies. This same com­par­a­tive ra­tio of elec­tronic be­hav­ior in re­la­tion to nu­clear prox­im­ity ob­tains in all atoms re­gard­less of the num­ber of elec­trons em­braced. The nearer the nu­cleus, the less there is of elec­tronic in­di­vid­u­al­ity. The wave­like en­ergy ex­ten­sion of an elec­tron may so spread out as to oc­cupy the whole of the lesser atomic or­bits; es­pe­cially is this true of the elec­trons near­est the atomic nu­cleus.

• physical energy › unknown forms

42:8.2The in­ter­elec­tronic space of an atom is not empty. Through­out an atom this in­ter­elec­tronic space is ac­ti­vated by wave­like man­i­fes­ta­tions which are per­fectly syn­chro­nized with elec­tronic ve­loc­ity and ul­ti­ma­tonic rev­o­lu­tions. This force is not wholly dom­i­nated by your rec­og­nized laws of pos­i­tive and neg­a­tive at­trac­tion; its be­hav­ior is there­fore some­times un­pre­dictable. This un­named in­flu­ence seems to be a space-force re­ac­tion of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

• physical energy › unknown forms

42:8.6The meso­tron ex­plains cer­tain co­he­sive prop­er­ties of the atomic nu­cleus, but it does not ac­count for the co­he­sion of pro­ton to pro­ton nor for the ad­he­sion of neu­tron to neu­tron. The para­dox­i­cal and pow­er­ful force of atomic co­he­sive in­tegrity is a form of en­ergy as yet undis­cov­ered on Uran­tia.

• physical energy › decimal constitution

42:9.1Re­li­gion is not alone dog­matic; nat­u­ral phi­los­o­phy equally tends to dog­ma­tize. When a renowned re­li­gious teacher rea­soned that the num­ber seven was fun­da­men­tal to na­ture be­cause there are seven open­ings in the hu­man head, if he had known more of chem­istry, he might have ad­vo­cated such a be­lief founded on a true phe­nom­e­non of the phys­i­cal world. There is in all the phys­i­cal uni­verses of time and space, not­with­stand­ing the uni­ver­sal man­i­fes­ta­tion of the dec­i­mal con­sti­tu­tion of en­ergy, the ever-pres­ent re­minder of the re­al­ity of the sev­en­fold elec­tronic or­ga­ni­za­tion of pre­mat­ter.

42:9.2The num­ber seven is ba­sic to the cen­tral uni­verse and the spir­i­tual sys­tem of in­her­ent trans­mis­sions of char­ac­ter, but the num­ber ten, the dec­i­mal sys­tem, is in­her­ent in en­ergy, mat­ter, and the ma­te­rial cre­ation. Nev­er­the­less the atomic world does dis­play a cer­tain pe­ri­odic char­ac­ter­i­za­tion which re­curs in groups of seven—a birth­mark car­ried by this ma­te­rial world in­dica­tive of its far-dis­tant spir­i­tual ori­gin.

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.

• physical energy › variously gravity-responsive

42:11.4Mo­tion and uni­verse grav­i­ta­tion are twin facets of the im­per­sonal time-space mech­a­nism of the uni­verse of uni­verses. The lev­els of grav­ity re­sponse for spirit, mind, and mat­ter are quite in­de­pen­dent of time, but only true spirit lev­els of re­al­ity are in­de­pen­dent of space (non­spa­tial). The higher mind lev­els of the uni­verse—the spirit-mind lev­els—may also be non­spa­tial, but the lev­els of ma­te­rial mind, such as hu­man mind, are re­spon­sive to the in­ter­ac­tions of uni­verse grav­i­ta­tion, los­ing this re­sponse only in pro­por­tion to spirit iden­ti­fi­ca­tion. Spirit-re­al­ity lev­els are rec­og­nized by their spirit con­tent, and spir­i­tu­al­ity in time and space is mea­sured in­versely to the lin­ear-grav­ity re­sponse.

• physical energy › matter is organized e.

42:11.5Lin­ear-grav­ity re­sponse is a quan­ti­ta­tive mea­sure of non­spirit en­ergy. All mass—or­ga­nized en­ergy—is sub­ject to this grasp ex­cept as mo­tion and mind act upon it. Lin­ear grav­ity is the short-range co­he­sive force of the macro­cos­mos some­what as the forces of in­tra-atomic co­he­sion are the short-range forces of the mi­cro­cos­mos. Phys­i­cal ma­te­ri­al­ized en­ergy, or­ga­nized as so-called mat­ter, can­not tra­verse space with­out af­fect­ing lin­ear-grav­ity re­sponse. Al­though such grav­ity re­sponse is di­rectly pro­por­tional to mass, it is so mod­i­fied by in­ter­ven­ing space that the fi­nal re­sult is no more than roughly ap­prox­i­mated when ex­pressed as in­versely ac­cord­ing to the square of the dis­tance. Space even­tu­ally con­quers lin­ear grav­i­ta­tion be­cause of the pres­ence therein of the anti­grav­ity in­flu­ences of nu­mer­ous super­ma­te­rial forces which op­er­ate to neu­tral­ize grav­ity ac­tion and all re­sponses thereto.

Spir­i­tual en­ergy acts in ac­cor­dance with es­tab­lished laws, just as does phys­i­cal en­ergy. That is, spirit force, when stud­ied, yields de­pend­able de­duc­tions and can be pre­cisely dealt with, even as can the phys­i­cal en­er­gies. There are just as cer­tain and re­li­able laws in the spirit world as ob­tain in the ma­te­rial realms. Dur­ing the last few mil­lions of years many im­proved tech­niques for the in­take of spir­i­tual en­ergy have been ef­fected by these stu­dents of the fun­da­men­tal laws of the Eter­nal Son gov­ern­ing spirit en­ergy as ap­plied to the mor­ontia and other or­ders of ce­les­tial be­ings through­out the uni­verses.

• definition › 3 original phases of divine e. are physical, mindal, and spiritual energy

44:5.54. The com­pound ma­nip­u­la­tors. This is the ad­ven­tur­ous group of well-trained be­ings who are ded­i­cated to the func­tional as­so­ci­a­tion of the three orig­i­nal phases of di­vine en­ergy man­i­fested through­out the uni­verses as phys­i­cal, mindal, and spir­i­tual en­er­gies. These are the keen per­son­al­i­ties who are in re­al­ity seek­ing to dis­cover the uni­verse pres­ence of God the Su­preme, for in this De­ity per­son­al­ity there must oc­cur the ex­pe­ri­en­tial uni­fi­ca­tion of all grand uni­verse di­vin­ity. And to a cer­tain ex­tent, these ar­ti­sans have in re­cent times met with some suc­cess.

44:5.65. The trans­port ad­vis­ers. This corps of tech­ni­cal ad­vis­ers to the trans­port ser­a­phim are most pro­fi­cient in col­lab­o­rat­ing with the star stu­dents in work­ing out rout­ings and in oth­er­wise as­sist­ing the chiefs of trans­port on the worlds of space. They are the traf­fic super­vi­sors of the spheres and are pres­ent on all in­hab­ited plan­ets. Uran­tia is served by a corps of sev­enty trans­port ad­vis­ers.

44:5.76. The ex­perts of com­mu­ni­ca­tion. Uran­tia, like­wise, is served by twelve tech­ni­cians of in­ter­plan­e­tary and in­teruni­verse com­mu­ni­ca­tion. These long-ex­pe­ri­enced be­ings are ex­pert in the knowl­edge of the laws of trans­mit­tal and in­ter­fer­ence as ap­plied to the com­mu­ni­ca­tions of the realms. This corps is con­cerned with all forms of space mes­sages ex­cept those of Grav­ity and Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers. On Uran­tia much of their work must be ac­com­plished over the arch­an­gels’ cir­cuit.

44:5.87. The teach­ers of rest. Di­vine rest is as­so­ci­ated with the tech­nique of spir­i­tual-en­ergy in­take. Mor­ontia and spirit en­ergy must be re­plen­ished just as cer­tainly as phys­i­cal en­ergy, but not for the same rea­sons. I am, per­force, com­pelled to em­ploy crude il­lus­tra­tions in my at­tempts to en­lighten you; nev­er­the­less, we of the spirit world must stop our reg­u­lar ac­tiv­i­ties pe­ri­od­i­cally and be­take our­selves to suit­able places of ren­dezvous where we en­ter the di­vine rest and thus re­cu­per­ate our de­plet­ing en­er­gies.

44:5.9You will re­ceive your first lessons in these mat­ters when you reach the man­sion worlds af­ter you have be­come mor­ontia be­ings and have be­gun to ex­pe­ri­ence the tech­nique of spirit af­fairs. You know of the in­ner­most cir­cle of Ha­vona and that, af­ter the pil­grims of space have tra­versed the pre­ced­ing cir­cles, they must be in­ducted into the long and re­viv­i­fy­ing rest of Par­a­dise. This is not only a tech­ni­cal re­quire­ment of tran­sit from the ca­reer of time to the ser­vice of eter­nity, but it is also a ne­ces­sity, a form of rest re­quired to re­plen­ish the en­ergy losses in­ci­dent to the fi­nal steps of the as­cen­dant ex­pe­ri­ence and to store re­serves of spirit power for the next stage of the end­less ca­reer.

44:5.10These en­ergy ma­nip­u­la­tors also func­tion in hun­dreds of other ways too nu­mer­ous to cat­a­logue, such as coun­sel­ing with the ser­a­phim, cheru­bim, and sa­no­bim re­gard­ing the most ef­fi­cient modes of en­ergy in­take and as to the main­te­nance of the most help­ful bal­ances of di­ver­gent forces be­tween ac­tive cheru­bim and pas­sive sa­no­bim. In many other ways do these ex­perts lend as­sis­tance to mor­ontia and spirit crea­tures in their ef­forts to un­der­stand the di­vine rest, which is so es­sen­tial to the ef­fec­tive uti­liza­tion of the ba­sic en­er­gies of space.

• physical energy › slowed down, e. can become mass

48:2.205. Li­ai­son Sta­bi­liz­ers. These are the reg­u­la­tors of the mor­ontia en­ergy in as­so­ci­a­tion with the phys­i­cal and spirit forces of the realm. They make pos­si­ble the con­ver­sion of mor­ontia en­ergy into mor­ontia ma­te­rial. The whole mor­ontia or­ga­ni­za­tion of ex­is­tence is de­pen­dent on the sta­bi­liz­ers. They slow down the en­ergy rev­o­lu­tions to that point where phys­i­cal­iza­tion can oc­cur. But I have no terms with which I can com­pare or il­lus­trate the min­istry of such be­ings. It is quite be­yond hu­man imag­i­na­tion.

• Paradise source of energy › force, energy, and power are one in origin

56:1.1The phys­i­cal or ma­te­rial cre­ation is not in­fi­nite, but it is per­fectly co-or­di­nated. There are force, en­ergy, and power, but they are all one in ori­gin. The seven super­uni­verses are seem­ingly dual; the cen­tral uni­verse, tri­une; but Par­a­dise is of sin­gle con­sti­tu­tion. And Par­a­dise is the ac­tual source of all ma­te­rial uni­verses—past, pres­ent, and fu­ture. But this cos­mic deriva­tion is an eter­nity event; at no time—past, pres­ent, or fu­ture—does ei­ther space or the ma­te­rial cos­mos come forth from the nu­clear Isle of Light. As the cos­mic source, Par­a­dise func­tions prior to space and be­fore time; hence would its deriva­tions seem to be or­phaned in time and space did they not emerge through the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute, their ul­ti­mate re­pos­i­tory in space and their re­vealer and reg­u­la­tor in time.

• physical energy › inherent qualities of e. insure orderly evolution of new physical systems

57:1.6875,000,000,000 years ago the enor­mous And­ro­no­ver neb­ula num­ber 876,926 was duly ini­ti­ated. Only the pres­ence of the force or­ga­nizer and the li­ai­son staff was re­quired to in­au­gu­rate the en­ergy whirl which even­tu­ally grew into this vast cy­clone of space. Sub­se­quent to the ini­ti­a­tion of such neb­u­lar rev­o­lu­tions, the liv­ing force or­ga­niz­ers sim­ply with­draw at right an­gles to the plane of the rev­o­lu­tion­ary disk, and from that time for­ward, the in­her­ent qual­i­ties of en­ergy in­sure the pro­gres­sive and or­derly evo­lu­tion of such a new phys­i­cal sys­tem.

• physical energy › lava flows help insulate against space-energies

57:8.18Elec­tric dis­tur­bances in the air and in the earth were also de­creas­ing. The lava flows had brought to the sur­face a mix­ture of el­e­ments which di­ver­si­fied the crust and bet­ter in­su­lated the planet from cer­tain space-en­er­gies. And all of this did much to fa­cil­i­tate the con­trol of ter­res­trial en­ergy and to reg­u­late its flow, as is dis­closed by the func­tion­ing of the mag­netic poles.

• physical energy › man liberates himself through control of

81:2.14The sav­age is a slave to na­ture, but sci­en­tific civ­i­liza­tion is slowly con­fer­ring in­creas­ing lib­erty on man­kind. Through an­i­mals, fire, wind, wa­ter, elec­tric­ity, and other undis­cov­ered sources of en­ergy, man has lib­er­ated, and will con­tinue to lib­er­ate, him­self from the ne­ces­sity for un­remit­ting toil. Re­gard­less of the tran­sient trou­ble pro­duced by the pro­lific in­ven­tion of ma­chin­ery, the ul­ti­mate ben­e­fits to be de­rived from such me­chan­i­cal in­ven­tions are in­es­timable. Civ­i­liza­tion can never flour­ish, much less be es­tab­lished, un­til man has leisure to think, to plan, to imag­ine new and bet­ter ways of do­ing things.

• Paradise source of energy › all force-energy comes from, and returns to, nether Paradise
• Paradise source of energy › e. proceeds from, and is fashioned after, Paradise

101:10.4It is only through the mor­ontial av­enue lead­ing to spir­i­tual in­sight that man can ever break the fet­ters in­her­ent in his mor­tal sta­tus in the uni­verse. En­ergy and mind do lead back to Par­a­dise and De­ity, but nei­ther the en­ergy en­dow­ment nor the mind en­dow­ment of man pro­ceeds di­rectly from such Par­a­dise De­ity. Only in the spir­i­tual sense is man a child of God. And this is true be­cause it is only in the spir­i­tual sense that man is at pres­ent en­dowed and in­dwelt by the Par­a­dise Fa­ther. Man­kind can never dis­cover di­vin­ity ex­cept through the av­enue of re­li­gious ex­pe­ri­ence and by the ex­er­cise of true faith. The faith ac­cep­tance of the truth of God en­ables man to es­cape from the cir­cum­scribed con­fines of ma­te­rial lim­i­ta­tions and af­fords him a ra­tio­nal hope of achiev­ing safe con­duct from the ma­te­rial realm, whereon is death, to the spir­i­tual realm, wherein is life eter­nal.

• manipulation of energy by celestial agencies › intelligently controlled by agents of Infinite Spirit
• Paradise source of energy › all force-energy comes from, and returns to, nether Paradise

104:4.13En­ergy is or­ga­nized by the cos­mic agents of the Third Source and Cen­ter; en­ergy is fash­ioned af­ter the pat­tern of Par­a­dise, the ab­so­lute ma­te­ri­al­iza­tion; but be­hind all of this cease­less ma­nip­u­la­tion is the pres­ence of the Fa­ther-Son, whose union first ac­ti­vated the Par­a­dise pat­tern in the ap­pear­ance of Ha­vona con­comi­tant with the birth of the In­fi­nite Spirit, the Con­joint Ac­tor.

• manipulation of energy by celestial agencies › released from Unqualified Absolute according to needs of experiential Deities

104:4.27The fourth tri­unity ab­so­lutely con­trols the fun­da­men­tal units of cos­mic en­ergy and re­leases them from the grasp of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute in di­rect pro­por­tion to the ap­pear­ance in the ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­i­ties of sub­ab­so­lute ca­pac­ity to con­trol and sta­bi­lize the meta­mor­phos­ing cos­mos.

• manipulation of energy by celestial agencies › intelligently controlled by agents of Infinite Spirit
• physical energy › seemingly evolves in space

106:2.3Spirit, in the last anal­y­sis, comes from Par­a­dise through Ha­vona. En­ergy-mat­ter seem­ingly evolves in the depths of space and is or­ga­nized as power by the chil­dren of the In­fi­nite Spirit in con­junc­tion with the Cre­ator Sons of God. And all of this is ex­pe­ri­en­tial; it is a trans­ac­tion in time and space in­volv­ing a wide range of liv­ing be­ings in­clud­ing even Cre­ator di­vini­ties and evo­lu­tion­ary crea­tures. The power mas­tery of the Cre­ator di­vini­ties in the grand uni­verse slowly ex­pands to en­com­pass the evo­lu­tion­ary set­tling and sta­bi­liz­ing of the time-space cre­ations, and this is the flow­er­ing of the ex­pe­ri­en­tial power of God the Sev­en­fold. It en­com­passes the whole gamut of di­vin­ity at­tain­ment in time and space from the Ad­juster be­stowals of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther to the life be­stowals of the Par­a­dise Sons. This is earned power, demon­strated power, ex­pe­ri­en­tial power; it stands in con­trast to the eter­nity power, the un­fath­omable power, the ex­is­ten­tial power of the Par­a­dise De­i­ties.

• manipulation of energy by celestial agencies › creature mind does not inherently control

111:6.4The spirit can dom­i­nate mind; so mind can con­trol en­ergy. But mind can con­trol en­ergy only through its own in­tel­li­gent ma­nip­u­la­tion of the meta­mor­phic po­ten­tials in­her­ent in the math­e­mat­i­cal level of the causes and ef­fects of the phys­i­cal do­mains. Crea­ture mind does not in­her­ently con­trol en­ergy; that is a De­ity pre­rog­a­tive. But crea­ture mind can and does ma­nip­u­late en­ergy just in so far as it has be­come mas­ter of the en­ergy se­crets of the phys­i­cal uni­verse.

111:6.5When man wishes to mod­ify phys­i­cal re­al­ity, be it him­self or his en­vi­ron­ment, he suc­ceeds to the ex­tent that he has dis­cov­ered the ways and means of con­trol­ling mat­ter and di­rect­ing en­ergy. Un­aided mind is im­po­tent to in­flu­ence any­thing ma­te­rial save its own phys­i­cal mech­a­nism, with which it is in­escapably linked. But through the in­tel­li­gent use of the body mech­a­nism, mind can cre­ate other mech­a­nisms, even en­ergy re­la­tion­ships and liv­ing re­la­tion­ships, by the uti­liza­tion of which this mind can in­creas­ingly con­trol and even dom­i­nate its phys­i­cal level in the uni­verse.

• manipulation of energy by celestial agencies › responds to mind

116:5.14In the fi­nal anal­y­sis, all en­ergy re­sponds to mind, and the phys­i­cal con­trol­lers are the chil­dren of the mind God, who is the ac­ti­va­tor of Par­a­dise pat­tern. The in­tel­li­gence of the power di­rec­tors is un­remit­tingly de­voted to the task of bring­ing about ma­te­rial con­trol. Their strug­gle for phys­i­cal dom­i­nance over the re­la­tion­ships of en­ergy and the mo­tions of mass never ceases un­til they achieve fi­nite vic­tory over the en­er­gies and masses which con­sti­tute their per­pet­ual do­mains of ac­tiv­ity.

• manipulation of energy by celestial agencies › responds to mind

116:6.4That en­ergy can be di­rec­tion­ized by the ac­tion of con­trol­ler per­son­al­i­ties dis­closes the re­spon­sive­ness of en­ergy to mind ac­tion. That mass can be sta­bi­lized through the ac­tion of these same con­trol­ling en­ti­ties in­di­cates the re­spon­sive­ness of mass to the or­der-pro­duc­ing pres­ence of mind. And that spirit it­self in vo­li­tional per­son­al­ity can strive through mind for the mas­tery of en­ergy-mat­ter dis­closes the po­ten­tial unity of all fi­nite cre­ation.

• circuits of energy › never permanent possessions of ascenders

117:5.7The great cir­cuits of en­ergy, mind, and spirit are never the per­ma­nent pos­ses­sions of as­cend­ing per­son­al­ity; these min­istries re­main for­ever a part of Su­prem­acy. In the mor­tal ex­pe­ri­ence the hu­man in­tel­lect re­sides in the rhyth­mic pul­sa­tions of the ad­ju­tant mind-spir­its and ef­fects its de­ci­sions within the arena pro­duced by en­cir­cuit­ment within this min­istry. Upon mor­tal death the hu­man self is ev­er­last­ingly di­vorced from the ad­ju­tant cir­cuit. While these ad­ju­tants never seem to trans­mit ex­pe­ri­ence from one per­son­al­ity to an­other, they can and do trans­mit the im­per­sonal reper­cus­sions of de­ci­sion-ac­tion through God the Sev­en­fold to God the Su­preme. (At least this is true of the ad­ju­tants of wor­ship and wis­dom.)

117:5.8And so it is with the spir­i­tual cir­cuits: Man uti­lizes these in his as­cent through the uni­verses, but he never pos­sesses them as a part of his eter­nal per­son­al­ity. But these cir­cuits of spir­i­tual min­istry, whether Spirit of Truth, Holy Spirit, or super­uni­verse spirit pres­ences, are re­cep­tive and re­ac­tive to the emerg­ing val­ues in as­cend­ing per­son­al­ity, and these val­ues are faith­fully trans­mit­ted through the Sev­en­fold to the Su­preme.

• physical energy › slowed down, e. can become mass

133:5.10Re­al­ity of ma­te­rial ex­is­tence at­taches to un­rec­og­nized en­ergy as well as to vis­i­ble mat­ter. When the en­er­gies of the uni­verse are so slowed down that they ac­quire the req­ui­site de­gree of mo­tion, then, un­der fa­vor­able con­di­tions, these same en­er­gies be­come mass. And for­get not, the mind which can alone per­ceive the pres­ence of ap­par­ent re­al­i­ties is it­self also real. And the fun­da­men­tal cause of this uni­verse of en­ergy-mass, mind, and spirit, is eter­nal—it ex­ists and con­sists in the na­ture and re­ac­tions of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and his ab­so­lute co-or­di­nates.
