5. The Presence of God

8:5.3In your sa­cred writ­ings the term Spirit of God seems to be used in­ter­change­ably to des­ig­nate both the In­fi­nite Spirit on Par­a­dise and the Cre­ative Spirit of your lo­cal uni­verse. The Holy Spirit is the spir­i­tual cir­cuit of this Cre­ative Daugh­ter of the Par­a­dise In­fi­nite Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a cir­cuit in­dige­nous to each lo­cal uni­verse and is con­fined to the spir­i­tual realm of that cre­ation; but the In­fi­nite Spirit is om­ni­pres­ent.

8:5.4There are many spir­i­tual in­flu­ences, and they are all as one. Even the work of the Thought Ad­justers, though in­de­pen­dent of all other in­flu­ences, un­vary­ingly co­in­cides with the spirit min­istry of the com­bined in­flu­ences of the In­fi­nite Spirit and a lo­cal uni­verse Mother Spirit. As these spir­i­tual pres­ences op­er­ate in the lives of Uran­tians, they can­not be seg­re­gated. In your minds and upon your souls they func­tion as one spirit, not­with­stand­ing their di­verse ori­gins. And as this united spir­i­tual min­is­tra­tion is ex­pe­ri­enced, it be­comes to you the in­flu­ence of the Su­preme, “who is ever able to keep you from fail­ing and to pre­sent you blame­less be­fore your Fa­ther on high.”

8:5.5Ever re­mem­ber that the In­fi­nite Spirit is the Con­joint Ac­tor; both the Fa­ther and the Son are func­tion­ing in and through him; he is pres­ent not only as him­self but also as the Fa­ther and as the Son and as the Fa­ther-Son. In rec­og­ni­tion of this and for many ad­di­tional rea­sons the spirit pres­ence of the In­fi­nite Spirit is of­ten re­ferred to as “the spirit of God.”

8:5.6It would also be con­sis­tent to re­fer to the li­ai­son of all spir­i­tual min­istry as the spirit of God, for such a li­ai­son is truly the union of the spir­its of God the Fa­ther, God the Son, God the Spirit, and God the Sev­en­fold—even the spirit of God the Su­preme.
