Bradly, I think this quote is interesting:
0:4.10 4. Personal and Impersonal. Deity expansion, personality expression, and universe evolution are forever conditioned by the Father’s freewill act which forever separated the mind-spirit-personal meanings and values of actuality and potentiality centering in the Eternal Son from those things which center and inhere in the eternal Isle of Paradise.
In my last post I said physical gravity is nonpersonal, it appears that the proper word is impersonal. And the quote somewhat addresses what I was saying about all gravity but physical/material gravity being personal.
Deity expansion, personality expression and universe evolution have a lot to do with the evolution of dominance, I think. Although we humans are not deity, we do have the potential for divinity expansion. Isn’t our goal to evolve our divinity potentials by seeking the actuality of Deity? I think we accomplish this by increasingly identifying with Deity, Deity being personal. All else is material and falls into the grasp of material gravity. Which is why, I think, they say the more we evolve (transfer dominance), the less subject to material gravity we become, presumably because there is less actualized material substance available.
115:3.15 Actuality (of Deity) is what man seeks in the Paradise ascent. Potentiality (of human divinity) is what man evolves in that search. The Original is what makes possible the coexistence and integration of man the actual, man the potential, and man the eternal.
7:3.2 The mortal mind, for example, initiates its career as a material mechanism and is eventually mustered into the Corps of the Finality as a well-nigh perfected spirit existence, becoming progressively less subject to material gravity and correspondingly more responsive to the inward pulling urge of spirit gravity during this entire experience. The spirit-gravity circuit literally pulls the soul of man Paradiseward.
Also, I’d like to clarify a statement I made in my last post, because it may be confusing. I said, ” Gravity doesn’t, by itself, pull or power anything.” What I’m trying to say is that we don’t sit and wait for gravity to pull the truth, beauty and goodness out of us, we have to actualize those ideals as part of our reality first. That’s when the “pull” is felt. But, it is actualized reality responding to the ever present and constant gravity presence, rather than the other way around. It’s not gravity yanking our chains, if that is any clearer. Maybe not.
Oh well . . . here’s another quote explaining the difference between potential and actualized reality. Actualized spirit values respond to the gravity grasp of the Eternal Son, whereas potentials (values that have not been actualized), respond to the Deity Absolute.
7:1.10 Viewed from the personality standpoint and by persons, the Eternal Son and the Deity Absolute appear to be related in the following way: The Eternal Son dominates the realm of actual spiritual values, whereas the Deity Absolute seems to pervade the vast domain of potential spirit values. All actual value of spirit nature finds lodgment in the gravity grasp of the Eternal Son but, if potential, then apparently in the presence of the Deity Absolute.
I think it is our job, through spiritual insight, to discover, recognize and interpret those potentials provided for us by the Thought Adjuster, then chose to actualize them into reality, at which time they are capable of responding to spirit gravity. Just like material matter, the more actualized reality that is coalesced by spirit gravity, the greater the expansion of the soul. And the greater the expansion or evolution of the soul, the greater dominance it has over thought and action. Eventually it becomes unstoppable, I think. That’s probably when you fuse, but I’m guessing.
