Universal Mother

6 paragraphs · about 3 minutes

Every paragraph the index cites under Universal Mother, once, in the order of the book. Beside each stand the entries that cite it.

6:8.1Con­cern­ing iden­tity, na­ture, and other at­tri­butes of per­son­al­ity, the Eter­nal Son is the full equal, the per­fect com­ple­ment, and the eter­nal coun­ter­part of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. In the same sense that God is the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, the Son is the Uni­ver­sal Mother. And all of us, high and low, con­sti­tute their uni­ver­sal fam­ily.

117:6.2If you truly de­sire to find God, you can­not help hav­ing born in your minds the con­scious­ness of the Su­preme. As God is your di­vine Fa­ther, so is the Su­preme your di­vine Mother, in whom you are nur­tured through­out your lives as uni­verse crea­tures. “How uni­ver­sal is the Su­preme—he is on all sides! The lim­it­less things of cre­ation de­pend on his pres­ence for life, and none are re­fused.”

117:6.3–4 · two paragraphs not cited here ·

117:6.3What Mi­chael is to Neb­a­don, the Su­preme is to the fi­nite cos­mos; his De­ity is the great av­enue through which the love of the Fa­ther flows out­ward to all cre­ation, and he is the great av­enue through which fi­nite crea­tures pass in­ward in their quest of the Fa­ther, who is love. Even Thought Ad­justers are re­lated to him; in orig­i­nal na­ture and di­vin­ity they are like the Fa­ther, but when they ex­pe­ri­ence the trans­ac­tions of time in the uni­verses of space, they be­come like the Su­preme.

117:6.4The act of the crea­ture’s choos­ing to do the will of the Cre­ator is a cos­mic value and has a uni­verse mean­ing which is im­me­di­ately re­acted to by some un­re­vealed but ubiq­ui­tous force of co-or­di­na­tion, prob­a­bly the func­tion­ing of the ever-en­larg­ing ac­tion of the Su­preme Be­ing.

117:6.5The mor­ontia soul of an evolv­ing mor­tal is re­ally the son of the Ad­juster ac­tion of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the child of the cos­mic re­ac­tion of the Su­preme Be­ing, the Uni­ver­sal Mother. The mother in­flu­ence dom­i­nates the hu­man per­son­al­ity through­out the lo­cal uni­verse child­hood of the grow­ing soul. The in­flu­ence of the De­ity par­ents be­comes more equal af­ter the Ad­juster fu­sion and dur­ing the super­uni­verse ca­reer, but when the crea­tures of time be­gin the traver­sal of the cen­tral uni­verse of eter­nity, the Fa­ther na­ture be­comes in­creas­ingly man­i­fest, at­tain­ing its height of fi­nite man­i­fes­ta­tion upon the rec­og­ni­tion of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the ad­mis­sion into the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity.

117:6.6In and through the ex­pe­ri­ence of fi­nal­i­ter at­tain­ment the ex­pe­ri­en­tial mother qual­i­ties of the as­cend­ing self be­come tremen­dously af­fected by con­tact and in­fu­sion with the spirit pres­ence of the Eter­nal Son and the mind pres­ence of the In­fi­nite Spirit. Then, through­out the realms of fi­nal­i­ter ac­tiv­ity in the grand uni­verse, there ap­pears a new awak­en­ing of the la­tent mother po­ten­tial of the Su­preme, a new re­al­iza­tion of ex­pe­ri­en­tial mean­ings, and a new syn­the­sis of ex­pe­ri­en­tial val­ues of the en­tire as­cen­sion ca­reer. It ap­pears that this re­al­iza­tion of self will con­tinue in the uni­verse ca­reers of the sixth-stage fi­nal­i­ters un­til the mother in­her­i­tance of the Su­preme at­tains to fi­nite syn­chrony with the Ad­juster in­her­i­tance of the Fa­ther. This in­trigu­ing pe­riod of grand uni­verse func­tion rep­re­sents the con­tin­u­ing adult ca­reer of the as­cen­dant and per­fected mor­tal.

117:6.7Upon the com­ple­tion of the sixth stage of ex­is­tence and the en­trance upon the sev­enth and fi­nal stage of spirit sta­tus, there will prob­a­bly en­sue the ad­vanc­ing ages of en­rich­ing ex­pe­ri­ence, ripen­ing wis­dom, and di­vin­ity re­al­iza­tion. In the na­ture of the fi­nal­i­ter this will prob­a­bly equal the com­pleted at­tain­ment of the mind strug­gle for spirit self-re­al­iza­tion, the com­ple­tion of the co-or­di­na­tion of the as­cen­dant man-na­ture with the di­vine Ad­juster-na­ture within the lim­its of fi­nite pos­si­bil­i­ties. Such a mag­nif­i­cent uni­verse self thus be­comes the eter­nal fi­nal­i­ter son of the Par­a­dise Fa­ther as well as the eter­nal uni­verse child of the Mother Su­preme, a uni­verse self qual­i­fied to rep­re­sent both the Fa­ther and Mother of uni­verses and per­son­al­i­ties in any ac­tiv­ity or un­der­tak­ing per­tain­ing to the fi­nite ad­min­is­tra­tion of cre­ated, cre­at­ing, or evolv­ing things and be­ings.

117:6.8All soul-evolv­ing hu­mans are lit­er­ally the evo­lu­tion­ary sons of God the Fa­ther and God the Mother, the Su­preme Be­ing. But un­til such time as mor­tal man be­comes soul-con­scious of his di­vine her­itage, this as­sur­ance of De­ity kin­ship must be faith re­al­ized. Hu­man life ex­pe­ri­ence is the cos­mic co­coon in which the uni­verse en­dow­ments of the Su­preme Be­ing and the uni­verse pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther (none of which are per­son­al­i­ties) are evolv­ing the mor­ontia soul of time and the hu­man-di­vine fi­nal­i­ter char­ac­ter of uni­verse des­tiny and eter­nal ser­vice.
