overcontrol

15:8.9The far­ther out we go, the more cer­tainly we en­counter those vari­a­tional and un­pre­dictable phe­nom­ena which are so unerringly char­ac­ter­is­tic of the un­fath­omable pres­ence-per­for­mances of the Ab­so­lutes and the ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­i­ties. And these phe­nom­ena must be in­dica­tive of some uni­ver­sal over­con­trol of all things.

12:6.1The uni­verse is non­static. Sta­bil­ity is not the re­sult of in­er­tia but rather the prod­uct of bal­anced en­er­gies, co-op­er­a­tive minds, co-or­di­nated mor­ontias, spirit over­con­trol, and per­son­al­ity uni­fi­ca­tion. Sta­bil­ity is wholly and al­ways pro­por­tional to di­vin­ity.

12:6.2In the phys­i­cal con­trol of the mas­ter uni­verse the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther ex­er­cises pri­or­ity and pri­macy through the Isle of Par­a­dise; God is ab­so­lute in the spir­i­tual ad­min­is­tra­tion of the cos­mos in the per­son of the Eter­nal Son. Con­cern­ing the do­mains of mind, the Fa­ther and the Son func­tion co-or­di­nately in the Con­joint Ac­tor.

12:6.3The Third Source and Cen­ter as­sists in the main­te­nance of the equi­lib­rium and co-or­di­na­tion of the com­bined phys­i­cal and spir­i­tual en­er­gies and or­ga­ni­za­tions by the ab­so­lute­ness of his grasp of the cos­mic mind and by the ex­er­cise of his in­her­ent and uni­ver­sal phys­i­cal- and spir­i­tual-grav­ity com­ple­ments. When­ever and wher­ever there oc­curs a li­ai­son be­tween the ma­te­rial and the spir­i­tual, such a mind phe­nom­e­non is an act of the In­fi­nite Spirit. Mind alone can in­teras­so­ci­ate the phys­i­cal forces and en­er­gies of the ma­te­rial level with the spir­i­tual pow­ers and be­ings of the spirit level.

12:6.4In all your con­tem­pla­tion of uni­ver­sal phe­nom­ena, make cer­tain that you take into con­sid­er­a­tion the in­ter­re­la­tion of phys­i­cal, in­tel­lec­tual, and spir­i­tual en­er­gies, and that due al­lowance is made for the un­ex­pected phe­nom­ena at­ten­dant upon their uni­fi­ca­tion by per­son­al­ity and for the un­pre­dictable phe­nom­ena re­sult­ing from the ac­tions and re­ac­tions of ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity and the Ab­so­lutes.

12:6.5The uni­verse is highly pre­dictable only in the quan­ti­ta­tive or grav­ity-mea­sure­ment sense; even the pri­mal phys­i­cal forces are not re­spon­sive to lin­ear grav­ity, nor are the higher mind mean­ings and true spirit val­ues of ul­ti­mate uni­verse re­al­i­ties. Qual­i­ta­tively, the uni­verse is not highly pre­dictable as re­gards new as­so­ci­a­tions of forces, ei­ther phys­i­cal, mindal, or spir­i­tual, al­though many such com­bi­na­tions of en­er­gies or forces be­come par­tially pre­dictable when sub­jected to crit­i­cal ob­ser­va­tion. When mat­ter, mind, and spirit are uni­fied by crea­ture per­son­al­ity, we are un­able fully to pre­dict the de­ci­sions of such a free­will be­ing.

12:6.6All phases of pri­mor­dial force, nas­cent spirit, and other non­per­sonal ul­ti­mates ap­pear to re­act in ac­cor­dance with cer­tain rel­a­tively sta­ble but un­known laws and are char­ac­ter­ized by a lat­i­tude of per­for­mance and an elas­tic­ity of re­sponse which are of­ten dis­con­cert­ing when en­coun­tered in the phe­nom­ena of a cir­cum­scribed and iso­lated sit­u­a­tion. What is the ex­pla­na­tion of this un­pre­dictable free­dom of re­ac­tion dis­closed by these emerg­ing uni­verse ac­tu­al­i­ties? These un­known, un­fath­omable un­pre­dicta­bles—whether per­tain­ing to the be­hav­ior of a pri­mor­dial unit of force, the re­ac­tion of an uniden­ti­fied level of mind, or the phe­nom­e­non of a vast pre­uni­verse in the mak­ing in the do­mains of outer space—prob­a­bly dis­close the ac­tiv­i­ties of the Ul­ti­mate and the pres­ence-per­for­mances of the Ab­so­lutes, which an­te­date the func­tion of all uni­verse Cre­ators.

12:6.7We do not re­ally know, but we sur­mise that such amaz­ing ver­sa­til­ity and such pro­found co-or­di­na­tion sig­nify the pres­ence and per­for­mance of the Ab­so­lutes, and that such di­ver­sity of re­sponse in the face of ap­par­ently uni­form cau­sa­tion dis­closes the re­ac­tion of the Ab­so­lutes, not only to the im­me­di­ate and sit­u­a­tional cau­sa­tion, but also to all other re­lated cau­sa­tions through­out the en­tire mas­ter uni­verse.

12:6.8In­di­vid­u­als have their guard­i­ans of des­tiny; plan­ets, sys­tems, con­stel­la­tions, uni­verses, and super­uni­verses each have their re­spec­tive rulers who la­bor for the good of their do­mains. Ha­vona and even the grand uni­verse are watched over by those in­trusted with such high re­spon­si­bil­i­ties. But who fos­ters and cares for the fun­da­men­tal needs of the mas­ter uni­verse as a whole, from Par­a­dise to the fourth and out­er­most space level? Ex­is­ten­tially such over­care is prob­a­bly at­tributable to the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, but from an ex­pe­ri­en­tial view­point the ap­pear­ance of the post-Ha­vona uni­verses is de­pen­dent on:

12:6.91. The Ab­so­lutes in po­ten­tial.

12:6.102. The Ul­ti­mate in di­rec­tion.

12:6.113. The Su­preme in evo­lu­tion­ary co-or­di­na­tion.

12:6.124. The Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse in ad­min­is­tra­tion prior to the ap­pear­ance of spe­cific rulers.

12:6.13The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute per­vades all space. We are not al­to­gether clear as to the ex­act sta­tus of the De­ity and Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lutes, but we know the lat­ter func­tions wher­ever the De­ity and Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lutes func­tion. The De­ity Ab­so­lute may be uni­ver­sally pres­ent but hardly space pres­ent. The Ul­ti­mate is, or some­time will be, space pres­ent to the outer mar­gins of the fourth space level. We doubt that the Ul­ti­mate will ever have a space pres­ence be­yond the pe­riph­ery of the mas­ter uni­verse, but within this limit the Ul­ti­mate is pro­gres­sively in­te­grat­ing the cre­ative or­ga­ni­za­tion of the po­ten­tials of the three Ab­so­lutes.
