12:4.103. Rel­a­tive mo­tions—rel­a­tive in the sense that they are not eval­u­ated with Par­a­dise as a base point. Pri­mary and sec­ondary mo­tions are ab­so­lute, mo­tion in re­la­tion to un­mov­ing Par­a­dise.

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.

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.

105:3.43. The Par­a­dise Source and Cen­ter. Sec­ond non­de­ity pat­tern, the eter­nal Isle of Par­a­dise; the ba­sis for the re­al­iza­tion-rev­e­la­tion of “I AM force” and the foun­da­tion for the es­tab­lish­ment of grav­ity con­trol through­out the uni­verses. Re­gard­ing all ac­tu­al­ized, non­spir­i­tual, im­per­sonal, and non­vo­li­tional re­al­ity, Par­a­dise is the ab­so­lute of pat­terns. Just as spirit en­ergy is re­lated to the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther through the ab­so­lute per­son­al­ity of the Mother-Son, so is all cos­mic en­ergy grasped in the grav­ity con­trol of the First Source and Cen­ter through the ab­so­lute pat­tern of the Par­a­dise Isle. Par­a­dise is not in space; space ex­ists rel­a­tive to Par­a­dise, and the chronic­ity of mo­tion is de­ter­mined through Par­a­dise re­la­tion­ship. The eter­nal Isle is ab­so­lutely at rest; all other or­ga­nized and or­ga­niz­ing en­ergy is in eter­nal mo­tion; in all space, only the pres­ence of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is qui­es­cent, and the Un­qual­i­fied is co-or­di­nate with Par­a­dise. Par­a­dise ex­ists at the fo­cus of space, the Un­qual­i­fied per­vades it, and all rel­a­tive ex­is­tence has its be­ing within this do­main.

12:4.16It is prob­a­ble that these al­ter­nate di­rec­tions of suc­ces­sive space pro­ces­sions of the uni­verses have some­thing to do with the in­tra­mas­ter uni­verse grav­ity tech­nique of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute, which con­sists of a co-or­di­na­tion of forces and an equal­iza­tion of space ten­sions. Mo­tion as well as space is a com­ple­ment or equi­li­brant of grav­ity.

9:1.1The Third Source and Cen­ter is known by many names, all des­ig­na­tive of re­la­tion­ship and in rec­og­ni­tion of func­tion: As God the Spirit, he is the per­son­al­ity co-or­di­nate and di­vine equal of God the Son and God the Fa­ther. As the In­fi­nite Spirit, he is an om­ni­pres­ent spir­i­tual in­flu­ence. As the Uni­ver­sal Ma­nip­u­la­tor, he is the an­ces­tor of the power-con­trol crea­tures and the ac­ti­va­tor of the cos­mic forces of space. As the Con­joint Ac­tor, he is the joint rep­re­sen­ta­tive and part­ner­ship ex­ec­u­tive of the Fa­ther-Son. As the Ab­so­lute Mind, he is the source of the en­dow­ment of in­tel­lect through­out the uni­verses. As the God of Ac­tion, he is the ap­par­ent an­ces­tor of mo­tion, change, and re­la­tion­ship.

12:4.2The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is func­tion­ally lim­ited to space, but we are not so sure about the re­la­tion of this Ab­so­lute to mo­tion. Is mo­tion in­her­ent therein? We do not know. We know that mo­tion is not in­her­ent in space; even the mo­tions of space are not in­nate. But we are not so sure about the re­la­tion of the Un­qual­i­fied to mo­tion. Who, or what, is re­ally re­spon­si­ble for the gi­gan­tic ac­tiv­i­ties of force-en­ergy trans­mu­ta­tions now in prog­ress out be­yond the bor­ders of the pres­ent seven super­uni­verses? Con­cern­ing the ori­gin of mo­tion we have the fol­low­ing opin­ions:

12:4.31. We think the Con­joint Ac­tor ini­ti­ates mo­tion in space.

12:4.42. If the Con­joint Ac­tor pro­duces the mo­tions of space, we can­not prove it.

12:4.53. The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute does not orig­i­nate ini­tial mo­tion but does equal­ize and con­trol all of the ten­sions orig­i­nated by mo­tion.

12:4.6In outer space the force or­ga­niz­ers are ap­par­ently re­spon­si­ble for the pro­duc­tion of the gi­gan­tic uni­verse wheels which are now in pro­cess of stel­lar evo­lu­tion, but their abil­ity so to func­tion must have been made pos­si­ble by some mod­i­fi­ca­tion of the space pres­ence of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

28:6.18The uni­ver­sal econ­omy is based on in­take and out­put; through­out the eter­nal ca­reer you will never en­counter mo­not­ony of in­ac­tion or stag­na­tion of per­son­al­ity. Prog­ress is made pos­si­ble by in­her­ent mo­tion, ad­vance­ment grows out of the di­vine ca­pac­ity for ac­tion, and achieve­ment is the child of imag­i­na­tive ad­ven­ture. But in­her­ent in this ca­pac­ity for achieve­ment is the re­spon­si­bil­ity of ethics, the ne­ces­sity for rec­og­niz­ing that the world and the uni­verse are filled with a mul­ti­tude of dif­fer­ing types of be­ings. All of this mag­nif­i­cent cre­ation, in­clud­ing your­self, was not made just for you. This is not an ego­cen­tric uni­verse. The Gods have de­creed, “It is more blessed to give than to re­ceive,” and said your Mas­ter Son, “He who would be great­est among you let him be server of all.”
