  1. Trying to come up with a topic and:

    Would like to start a discussion about the local universe mother spirit highlighted in paper 34 and differences in her influence on us as compared with our creator son.

    to include her angles and how they fit into those ministering influences between us and our adjusters, especially angles, midwayers too.

    i have been studying and will try to start off with something intelligent unless someone wants to chime in first.

    Not certain why it is difficult for a mighty messenger to portray her as a person??? While at the same time portraying her as a personalization of the infinite spirit??? This is during her early work with the son with physical creation. Then the primary eruption suggests she is of trinity origin?

    Even so, and after she becomes the divine minister and much life creation happens she is still not quite a person ??

    pentacost I believe changed this?

     

  2. Hi Gene,

    Good initiative. May I ask Gene, to be able to follow your post,  quote the passage you referred to?

    Thanks,

    André

    Because free will necessary for creation is part of personality.  The Creative Spirit doesn’t function as a distinct personality until the life creation phase of universe development.  Prior to that point, she just acts as a partner in organizing physical matter, but not life.  Now why that is so, I’m not sure.

    32:2.6 Presently, the physical plan of a universe is completed, and the Creator Son, in association with the Creative Spirit, projects his plan of life creation; whereupon does this representation of the Infinite Spirit begin her universe function as a distinct creative personality.

     

  4. Is this thread still alive?  What’s happening?

     

  5. Yes

    im trying to figure how to present my thoughts on Angels, how they relate to and work with us so it makes some sense.  we are told it is good to learn about them.

    they evidently experience all of our emotions except sensual stuff. Can we relate to them on an emotional level? Or is the interaction more like in the higher parts of our spiritized minds? Or both.

    paper 38 tells us that they have extraordinary abilities that appear automatic to us – the counting of hairs on head used to get the idea across. But the next section talks about their extensive training. It’s mind expanding.

    the papers tell us much about their classification and function and just reading through it all tends to make me feel closer to them.

    I need an ethical sensitizer, a quickener of morality and a justice guide on my side.?

    not really sure how to talk about the scope of their ministry and how we can recognize and benefit from it all, it is extensive.

  6. Thank goodness.  I thought everyone left.  We never answered the questions in your first post, so I was going to do that but wondered if anyone was interested.

    Can we relate to them on an emotional level? Or is the interaction more like in the higher parts of our spiritized minds? Or both.

    The angels do not contact us through the inner mind.  They work on the outside, in the social environment.  Remember that they are in charge of groups of people, so its relationships with people where they do their work.  But they do their work is always in perfect synchrony with the inner spiritual influences within our minds, so they indirectly influence our inner environment by awakening our moral natures.  Our moral natures are what stimulate the gateway to the soul, the two higher adjutants, which is where the spiritizing mind is.

    p1245:1 113:4.1 The guardian seraphim are not mind, though they do spring from the same source that also gives origin to mortal mind, the Creative Spirit. Seraphim are mind stimulators; they continually seek to promote circle-making decisions in human mind. They do this, not as does the Adjuster, operating from within and through the soul, but rather from the outside inward, working through the social, ethical, and moral environment of human beings. Seraphim are not the divine Adjuster lure of the Universal Father, but they do function as the personal agency of the ministry of the Infinite Spirit.

    p1245:7  113:5.1  Angels do not invade the sanctity of the human mind; they do not manipulate the will of mortals; neither do they directly contact with the indwelling Adjusters.

    All I can say is that if you are consistently making tougher and tougher moral decisions, your angels are working for you.  All you have to do is then pray over them, ask for help and get internal guidance from those spirit influences who are so well equipped to teach us in the depths of our minds and souls.  Remember, it is the angels who stimulate our urge to pray.

    p1245:4 113:4.4 The impulse of worship largely originates in the spirit promptings of the higher mind adjutants, reinforced by the leadings of the Adjuster. But the urge to pray so often experienced by God-conscious mortals very often arises as the result of seraphic influence. The guarding seraphim is constantly manipulating the mortal environment for the purpose of augmenting the cosmic insight of the human ascender to the end that such a survival candidate may acquire enhanced realization of the presence of the indwelling Adjuster and thus be enabled to yield increased co-operation with the spiritual mission of the divine presence.

  7. Just curious about the first paragraph where the impetuous apostle (Peter I assume?) is quoted respecting Jesus ” who has gone to heaven and is on the right hand of God, Angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him”.

    then it goes on to explain what these beings are and it makes me go back to earlier papers to read up on them.

    dont you think this is quite a revelation to this apostle?

    in my bible the quote is not quite the same.

    how far back in our history do you think humans have been aware of angels?

    sorry I can’t seem to be able to copy and paste

  8. Gene, I thought we were discussing Paper 34.  I believe the quote you are referring to is Paper 38.  I’ll reproduce it but I don’t know who the impetuous apostle is. Every other time the word impetuous is used in TUB, it’s about Peter.

    (418.1) 38:0.1 THERE are three distinct orders of the personalities of the Infinite Spirit. The impetuous apostle understood this when he wrote respecting Jesus, “who has gone to heaven and is on the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.” Angels are the ministering spirits of time; authorities, the messenger hosts of space; powers, the higher personalities of the Infinite Spirit.

    I suppose it was a revelation since they bothered to quote it in a revelation, but revelation doesn’t mean it’s new.  I think humans have been aware of angels since the ghost dream. That was the earliest cognizance of the unseen spirit world.  It didn’t take long to separate spirits into good and evil.  It seems to me that this started rather early in order for human mind to reach that point where a Planetary Prince could come with a visible staff made of men and “angels”.  From that point on angels are everywhere, good ones and bad ones, all the way through the Salem period to Jesus especially as an integral part of the Persian religions.  You also have the Watchers from the Book of Enoch and the Dead Sea Scrolls tell us that the Essenes believed strongly in angels.  Angels are a hot item even today.

  9. Thx Bonita

    sorry to jump around, it shows I need to be a bit more prepared.

    that quote made me go to papers 24, 25, 26.

     

  10. When Jesus was arrested he stated that he could summon a host or legion (can’t recall) of angels if necessary.

    curious to guess which if it went there.

    I would also be curious to guess as to how he would have employed them, I could not tell if this were a threat or just reassurance that he was not worried about his fate.

    probably not an idle threat but he was not one for miracles either and whatever he had them do would likely not appear miraculous.

    just thinking

  11. Back to paper 34

    the last sentence of the opening paragraph states that “to the creator son the spirit associate (the universe spirit) is personal and has always functioned as a distinct individual”

    that suggests that Michael does not change his relationship with her very much before or after her transformation to the. divine Minister. He kind of sits back and enjoys the show –

    And she was certain to facilitate the creation of energy circuits prior to her transformation – is this not what nourishes the ministering spirits? Or is it what is told in 34:1.2 – “from and through this new personal segregation of the Conjoint Actor there proceed the established currents and the ordained circuits of spirit power and spiritual influence destined to pervade all the worlds and beings of that local universe”? I think the former.

  12. Another thought paper 34:2.1 last sentence:

    subsequent to the elevation of the creator son to the sovereign authority of a master son the creative mother spirit becomes so augmented in personal qualities as to be personally recognized by all contacting individuals.

    this makes me ask what is the significance of this statement in relation to pentacost and the bestow as of the spirit of truth?

    paper 194:2.11 and .12 and .13 talk about this a bit.

    prior to Pentecost her influence was the 7 adjutants and after are the 7 higher spirits.

    anything to connect here about her personality recognition?

    interesting stuff.

  13. Hey Gene, thanks for the great questions and the opportunity to study the Creative Spirit.  I too have wondered what the personal qualities are that make her more recognizable.  Does it have something to do with her increased autonomy, since she would share sovereignty with the Creator Son?  I don’t know.  Also, are they talking about being recognizable by other celestials, by her own creatures, or both?  One thing for sure is that we all recognize the personality of the Creator Son since Jesus walked this earth, and if the two of them work in concert within our souls as the Holy Spirit-Spirit of Truth, then perhaps it is the personality of the Creator Son that augments hers making it more recognizable.  It’s just a guess.

    To note: The seven higher spirits TUB mentions are not all due to the sole influence of the Creative Spirit.

    1. Thought Adjusters
    2. Spirit gravity of the Eternal Son
    3. Spirit presence of the Infinite Spirit
    4. Spirit of Truth
    5. Holy Spirit
    6. Adjutant spirits
    7. Spirit of the Father, Son and Spirit after fusion.

     

  14. Trying to move on through paper 34 part 3 but first a curiousity at end of part 2 – 34:2.6 where the author appears to apologize for tardiness in our local universe development.

    This should not have anything to do with Lucifer rebellion IMHO – not certain why this was talked about in a paper that gets into our Creative Spirit?

    part 3 is a bit difficult to grasp for me. We are told earlier our Creative Spirit is fully endowed with antigravity – what does that mean? How would she use it in our local universe?

    We are also told she has no real presence at any specific location, she is just as present equally at any location in our local universe, unlike our Creator Son who has a definite presence wherever he may be. Together they function and are able to overcome these limitations.

    What does this mean for us? Her mind ministries appear to be instantaneous ?

  15. Now to jump around a bit:

    last sentence 34:3.2 “and there are similar entities unknown to you”

    I am likely taking this out of context but here goes:

    there are several statements similar to this throughout the book. Jump to paper 38 part 3: my first question about a paper on un-revealed angels is why is it not blank??

    now jump to paper 13 – 13:1.20 last sentence: “The other mysteries of Seraphington pertain to the personal experiences of types of spirit servers as yet not revealed to mortals. And we refrain from discussing the secrets of such closely related beings because you can almost comprehend such near orders of existance, and it would be akin to betrayal of trust to present even our partial knowledge of such phenomena”.

    to me they are clearly talking about an even lower order of angel that could clearly be even closer to us. Don’t it make you pause to take a close look around in a crowd?

    Why tell us about un-revealed beings? There is a message in this that gets my imagination going and the revealators do this for a reason. I’m missing it right now.

  16. Gene: I’m wondering if your generalized topic header is too general?

    Do you have a specific area which you wish to discuss; like how do angels relate directly with mortals/humans?  I mention this because the UB presents such a large topic area between many different angel categories and their functions?

  17. deleted

  18. Second thought

    since I started with the Creative Mother lets just continue paper 34 then the later papers on Angels in a linear way with plenty of leeway to jump around

  19. Gene, in your opening of one of your previous posts you start off with the following:

    the last sentence of the opening paragraph states that “to the creator son the spirit associate (the universe spirit) is personal and has always functioned as a distinct individual”

    that suggests that Michael does not change his relationship with her very much before or after her transformation to the. divine Minister. He kind of sits back and enjoys the show –

    And she was certain to facilitate the creation of energy circuits prior to her transformation – is this not what nourishes the ministering spirits? Or is it what is told in 34:1.2 – “from and through this new personal segregation of the Conjoint Actor [Creator] there proceed the established currents and the ordained circuits of spirit power and spiritual influence destined to pervade all the worlds and beings of that local universe”? I think the former.

    When you mention in the second sentence, Michael’s relationship with, as you inferred, “(the universe spirit)” may be putting the cart before the horse, so to speak. Where in the preface to this section (34:0.1-3), which the ‘0’ numeric structure, should be considered as a lead-in to that which follows, and is more a generalization. Even though the section header is “The Local Universe Mother Spirit”, this preface indicates a process which is repeated in many other processes outside and inside a “local universe” where in the first narrative (34:0.1), it refers to “WHEN a Creator Son is personalized”, and would be any Creator Son, therefore specific to all “Michael’s”.

    Then in your third sentence you refer to something from (34:1.2), may be more associated to what was presented in (34:1.1) and not necessarily specific to the preface section but, may only be part of the generalized process? Not to mention that you used the phrase “ministering spirits”, which is not found in this section specifically, thereby by making your comparison, possibly made difficult without much more descriptive details? Also, I have edited the term “Conjoint Actor” to “Conjoint Creator” because that is what I find in my digital text, notwithstanding that I would be curious to know where you got your presented example from? In that these two entities are not necessarily the same in function.

    In your first sentence where I have highlighted the UB quoted phrase, which comes from (34:0.3); it is important to look at all of those paragraphs in order to get a general idea as to how the context is structured.

    If we look as the preface to this section, I will present what I understand to be the generalized underlying premise.

    The Local Universe Mother Spirit

    (374.1) 34:0.1 WHEN a Creator Son is personalized by the Universal Father and the Eternal Son, then does the Infinite Spirit individualize a new and unique representation of himself to accompany this Creator Son to the realms of space, there to be his companion, first, in physical organization and, later, in creation and ministry to the creatures of the newly projected universe.

    (374.2) 34:0.2 A Creative Spirit reacts to both physical and spiritual realities; so does a Creator Son; and thus are they co-ordinate and associate in the administration of a local universe of time and space.

    (374.3) 34:0.3 These Daughter Spirits are of the essence of the Infinite Spirit, but they cannot function in the work of physical creation and spiritual ministry simultaneously. In physical creation the Universe Son provides the pattern while the Universe Spirit initiates the materialization of physical realities. The Son operates in the power designs, but the Spirit transforms these energy creations into physical substances. Although it is somewhat difficult to portray this early universe presence of the Infinite Spirit as a person, nevertheless, to the Creator Son the Spirit associate is personal and has always functioned as a distinct individual.

    In the first paragraph (34:01) it should be noted that this is a generalized process which is repeated for specific universe creation, and is not necessarily unique. Therefore the “First source and center” (Universal Father), and the “Second source and center” (Eternal Son) “personalize” a Creator Son, whereby the “Third source and center” (Infinite Spirit) responds by creating a unique companion for this Creator Son. In essence they are separate but compatible to each other, similar to a species, like a male and female human, who would be mingling with other components part until they start to organize, “co-ordinate and associate” both physically and spiritually because they have been previously paired.

    Now, I highlighted the word “co-ordinate” because when we lookup this word it is presented as “coordinate” but if the authors hyphenated it, it may have a slightly different meaning as presented here. In that “coordinate” indicates “of the same order or degree; equal in rank or importance” and “co-ordinate” is a combination of the prefix “co-” and, “ordinate.”
    When we look at these definitions we can see that “co-” can represent “(in mathematics and astronomy) of the complement of an angle”, and for “ordinate”, specifically, indicates “Mathematics. (in plane Cartesian coordinates) the y-coordinate of a point: its distance from the x-axis measured parallel to the y-axis” and, associated to or compared to “abscissa” which is defined as “(in plane Cartesian coordinates) the x-coordinate of a point: its distance from the y-axis measured parallel to the x-axis.”
    This being presented, the last two words are defined differently in that one is the “y-coordinate” and the other as the “x-coordinate”, where this can also be associated to the creation of the “XX” and XY” chromosomes, however as may also be associated to “co-” as defined as “The prefix , co-, now productively forms new words from bases beginning with any sound (co-conspirator; co-manage; coseismic), sometimes with the derived sense “auxiliary, subsidiary” (coenzyme; copilot), and, in mathematics and astronomy, with the sense “complement” ( codeclination).”

    Therefore the use of the word “co-ordinate” would or might indicate that what is being presented has multiple meanings and at the very least affirms that what may follow also has multiple means as to context?

    When we look at the context of (34:0.3), it mentions that “In physical creation the Universe Son provides the pattern while the Universe Spirit initiates the materialization of physical realities.” Where if we assume a parallel, the sperm and the egg, and also in genetics, RNA (a single-stranded molecule) and DNA (double-stranded molecule), where when “pattern” is presented, it can be associated with an instruction set, possibly for unpacking or a process of creation.

    Therefore, if we can envision “the Creator Son the Spirit associate” as being the “associate” to the “spirit” and as they are created as a matched pair, but different based on function, they can also be associated as “personal and has always functioned as a distinct individual.” And also can be compared to an Adam and Eve, and many other associations within the UB.
    Another way to thinking or looking at this would be through biology, where the “spirit” is feminine having “XX” chromosome, and the “Son” is masculine having “XY” chromosome, then when they are combined or organized as one, would be represented as “XXXY” which may represent androgyny — “having both masculine and feminine characteristics”, yet having separate functions. Where in essence, could reproduce and spawn at least three singularities as, another “XXXY”, or just an “XX” or “XY” but, with these base units could pair in the following manor: ((XXXY)+(XXXY)), ((XXXY)+(XX)), ((XXXY)+(XY)), ((XX)+(XY)); whereas the chaining progresses will always contain a portion of the “pattern” provided by the “Son” or a “Y” factor. Which can also be reasoned that within a male’s or, “Son’s” structure, there are the components, or parts/patterns of both feminine and masculine but since the UB has represented the three sources and centers as masculine, in order to create just a “XX” entity you would need to combine ((XY)+(YX)) to make an (XX). Also, one must keep in mind that a (YY) entity could not be considered as a spirit entity because it would require at least one (X), where one might consider an anti-factor as being a duality (order theory) within itself; if one takes the “X” and folds the bottom forks together, a “Y” symbol is created, and if one folds the top half of the “Y” together, and incorporated it into a circle, one would get the following symbol, which represents Phi —“ Φ “— which has been a representation of infinite series/sequence/patterns. Therefore, it is no wonder that the second source and center (the Son) is represented as —“ ⨀ ”—(circle, with a dot in the center) then could the infinite spirit be represented as —“ ⊗ “— which would include a fourth dimension as “time” as in time and space?

    If one keeps this analysis in mind as we read through the text which follows, it may allow envisioning, more of what may be being expressed by the authors. When one can imagine more than one overlapping image or scenario, as different words are combined in multiple contexts, and may make better sense when the narration uses many words for the same descriptive presentation?

    One of the word phrases used above which seems to present itself as puzzling in the way it was used: “personal and has always functioned as a distinct individual.” If one searches for “distinct individual” which is singular, you will find two other areas where it is used, as noted below. Although these examples may not directly relate to the usage in question but, they may present a similar understanding as to how they are used and can be associated somewhat to the general meaning. In this case when we read “individual” we interpret it with a person or single human being but it can also represent: “a distinct, indivisible entity; a single thing, being, instance, or item” or, ”a group considered as a unit.” Also, in biology it can represent: “a single organism capable of independent existence” or, “a member of a compound organism or colony.” That’s why, I think that the UB has mentioned that words need to be looked up, especially when they can have multiple meaning, where in some cases if these multiple meaning are applied to the narration, one might see that there could have been more than one thought structure being presented. Since things in the universe repeat themselves as to the way they function or have been created, why would an author go to the trouble to repeat the text so many times when they can save space by incorporating context within the grammatical structure?

    (106.10) 9:8.12 Both First Source and Third Source personalities are endowed with all and more than man associates with the concept of personality; they have minds embracing memory, reason, judgment, creative imagination, idea association, decision, choice, and numerous additional powers of intellect wholly unknown to mortals. With few exceptions the orders revealed to you possess form and distinct individuality; they are real beings. A majority of them are visible to all orders of spirit existence.

    (266.5) 24:1.15 While the circuit supervisors are entirely alike within their respective orders, they are all distinct individuals. They are truly personal beings, but they possess a type of other-than-Father-endowed personality not encountered in any other type of creature in all universal existence.

    Now Gene, I was little puzzled when I read your third sentence, as I repost her, again:

    And she was certain to facilitate the creation of energy circuits prior to her transformation – is this not what nourishes the ministering spirits? Or is it what is told in 34:1.2 – “from and through this new personal segregation of the Conjoint Actor [Creator] there proceed the established currents and the ordained circuits of spirit power and spiritual influence destined to pervade all the worlds and beings of that local universe”? I think the former.

    Where one must look at the previous UB quotation or narration to understand what has occurred which is a “transformation” but when examined is associated to “Divine Minister” — “individualized Creative Spirit helper” — but when one looks at (34:1.1) there is an interaction from the “Paradise Trinity” based on the “proclamation of the Michael Son”. I’m not sure where the “ministering spirits” comes into play at this time?

    1. Personalization of the Creative Spirit

    (374.4) 34:1.1 After the completion of the physical organization of a starry and planetary cluster and the establishment of the energy circuits by the superuniverse power centers, subsequent to this preliminary work of creation by the agencies of the Infinite Spirit, operating through, and under the direction of, his local universe creative focalization, there goes forth the proclamation of the Michael Son that life is next to be projected in the newly organized universe. Upon the Paradise recognition of this declaration of intention, there occurs a reaction of approval in the Paradise Trinity, followed by the disappearance in the spiritual shining of the Deities of the Master Spirit in whose superuniverse this new creation is organizing. Meanwhile the other Master Spirits draw near this central lodgment of the Paradise Deities, and subsequently, when the Deity-embraced Master Spirit emerges to the recognition of his fellows, there occurs what is known as a “primary eruption.” This is a tremendous spiritual flash, a phenomenon clearly discernible as far away as the headquarters of the superuniverse concerned; and simultaneously with this little-understood Trinity manifestation there occurs a marked change in the nature of the creative spirit presence and power of the Infinite Spirit resident in the local universe concerned. In response to these Paradise phenomena there immediately personalizes, in the very presence of the Creator Son, a new personal representation of the Infinite Spirit. This is the Divine Minister. The individualized Creative Spirit helper of the Creator Son has become his personal creative associate, the local universe Mother Spirit.

    (375.1) 34:1.2 From and through this new personal segregation of the Conjoint Creator there proceed the established currents and the ordained circuits of spirit power and spiritual influence destined to pervade all the worlds and beings of that local universe. In reality, this new and personal presence is but a transformation of the pre-existent and less personal associate of the Son in his earlier work of physical universe organization.

  20. Don’t know what to say Midi

    i write what I feel and tend to put it in my own words as much as possible.

    i re-red and I’m ok with what I wrote

    hoping for discussion but criticism is ok too

    thx
