• 1:10
  All right, we're back. Welcome to the Rancho Radio
• 1:13
  podcast. And we take a continuing look at
• 1:16
  Paper 12 and in this chapter, the final section of that paper
• 1:20
  having to do with the universe of universes.
• 1:23
  And in this discussion they bring to us the idea of mind,
• 1:26
  matter and spirit from Paper 12, Section 8.
• 1:30
  God is spirit, but paradise is not.
• 1:33
  The material universe is always the arena wherein takes place
• 1:37
  all spiritual activities. Spirit beings and spirit
• 1:41
  ascenders live and work on physical spheres of material
• 1:45
  reality. In that same section, the
• 1:49
  bestowal of cosmic force, the domain of cosmic gravity, is the
• 1:53
  function of the Isle of Paradise.
• 1:56
  All original Force energy proceeds from Paradise, and the
• 2:01
  matter for the making of untold universes now circulates
• 2:05
  throughout the Master Universe in the form of a super gravity
• 2:09
  presence, which constitutes the force energy of pervaded space.
• 2:18
  Physical energy is the one reality that is true and
• 2:21
  steadfast in its obedience to universal Law.
• 2:25
  Only in their realms of creature volition has there been
• 2:29
  deviation from the divine paths and the original plans.
• 2:34
  Power and energy are the universe evidences of the
• 2:38
  stability, constancy and eternity of the central Isle of
• 2:43
  Paradise. From Paper 12, Section 8, it
• 2:48
  reads the bestowal of Spirit and the spiritualization of
• 2:51
  personalities. The Domain of spiritual gravity
• 2:55
  is the realm of the Eternal Son, the second person of the
• 2:59
  Trinity. But material minded man is
• 3:03
  naturally more familiar with the material manifestations of a
• 3:07
  physical nature than with the equally real and mighty
• 3:11
  operations of a spiritual nature, which are discerned only
• 3:15
  by the spiritual inside of the soul.
• 3:19
  What paradise is to the physical creation and what the eternal
• 3:23
  sign is to the spiritual universe, the conjoint actor is
• 3:28
  to the realm of mind, the intelligent universe of
• 3:32
  material, morantial and spiritual beings and
• 3:36
  personalities. The conjoint actor reacts to
• 3:40
  both material and spiritual realities and therefore
• 3:44
  inherently becomes the universe minister to all intelligent
• 3:48
  beings, beings who may represent a union of both the material and
• 3:52
  spiritual phases of creation. The endowment of intelligence is
• 3:57
  the exclusive domain of the conjoint actor who thus becomes
• 4:01
  the partner of the spiritual mind and the substance of the
• 4:06
  material mind of the evolutionary creatures of time.
• 4:11
  From Section 8 in Section 8 of Paper 12 we read Mind is the
• 4:16
  technique where spirit realities become experiential to creature
• 4:20
  personalities and in the last analysis, the unifying
• 4:24
  possibilities of even human mind.
• 4:27
  The ability to coordinate things, ideas and values is
• 4:32
  super material, though it is hardly possible for the material
• 4:38
  mind to comprehend the seven levels of relative cosmic
• 4:41
  reality. The human intellect should be
• 4:44
  able to grasp much of the meaning of three functioning
• 4:48
  levels of finite reality, which are matter organized energy,
• 4:53
  which is subject to linear gravity, except that it, as it
• 4:57
  is modified by motion and condition by mind.
• 5:01
  Then there's mind, which is organized consciousness, which
• 5:06
  is not wholly subject to material gravity, and which
• 5:10
  becomes truly liberated when modified by Spirit, and then #3
• 5:15
  Spirit Reality, the highest personal reality, True Spirit,
• 5:19
  is not subject to physical gravity, but eventually becomes
• 5:23
  the motivating influence of all evolving energy systems.
• 5:28
  Also from that same paper, Section 8.
• 5:30
  The bestowal of mind and the administration of Spirit are the
• 5:34
  work of the associate Persons of Deity, the Infinite Spirit and
• 5:39
  the Eternal Son. On Paradise.
• 5:42
  The three energies, physical, mindful and spiritual, are
• 5:46
  coordinate. Spirit is the fundamental
• 5:49
  reality of the personality experience of all creatures.
• 5:53
  Because God is Spirit, Spirit is unchanging and therefore in all
• 5:58
  personality relations, which are experiential variables of
• 6:02
  progressive attainment 12/8 in cosmic evolution, matter becomes
• 6:08
  a philosophic shadow cast by mind in the presence of Spirit,
• 6:12
  luminosity of divine enlightenment.
• 6:16
  But this does not invalidate the reality of matter.
• 6:20
  Energy, mind. Matter and spirit are equally
• 6:23
  real, but they are not of equal value to personality and the
• 6:27
  attainment of divinity. Consciousness of divinity is a
• 6:31
  progressive spiritual experience.
• 6:35
  And finally there's this from 12 Section 8.
• 6:39
  The brighter of the shining of the spiritual Father, the
• 6:41
  greater the shadow cast by the intervening mind upon its
• 6:45
  material investment in time. Man's body is just as real as
• 6:50
  mind or spirit, but in death both mind and spirit survive
• 6:56
  while a body does not. A cosmic reality can be non
• 7:00
  existent and personality experience.
• 7:03
  And so your Greek figure of speech material as the shadow of
• 7:07
  the more and real spirit substance, does have a
• 7:11
  philosophic significance. So what is reality?
• 7:17
  The revelators tell us reality is expressible and experiential
• 7:22
  in mind matter and spirit. Matter is factually real, but it
• 7:27
  is also true. Spirit strives to dominate mind,
• 7:29
  even human mind, which exerts control and is dominant in the
• 7:33
  material world. In the same way, the Isle of
• 7:36
  Paradise doesn't control God, but rather the spirit mind of
• 7:40
  God is dominant over the Isle of Paradise and all things
• 7:45
  material. These are the thoughts to ponder
• 7:52
  when contemplating the inner association of the three aspects
• 7:55
  of reality. Think of this application.
• 7:58
  You and I are material beings. We are also endowed with a mind
• 8:03
  that observes this physical reality, but it is the spiritual
• 8:07
  influence that allows us to assess value in material things
• 8:12
  and relationships and then later of the morontia realities of the
• 8:16
  next life. Now, as a closing note, the
• 8:20
  author of this particular paper, of whom I am quoting, is a
• 8:24
  perfector of wisdom. What is a Perfector of wisdom?
• 8:30
  They are Trinity Origin beings, 1 billion of them, who serve
• 8:34
  under the authority of the Ancients of Days, also of
• 8:37
  Paradise Origin, described in Paper 19 as a specialized
• 8:42
  creation designed to personify the wisdom of Divinity in the
• 8:46
  Super Universe, including our own, and they are wholly
• 8:50
  occupied with the administration of the Super Universe
• 8:52
  governments. In a crude form, I might
• 8:55
  describe them as Supreme Court clerks, but at a much higher in
• 9:00
  deeper level, serving the judicial branch of the divine
• 9:03
  courts of the heavenly spheres. That's sort of my mind and, and,
• 9:07
  and how I interpret a perfector of wisdom and this whole
• 9:12
  exercise. These concepts provide a glimpse
• 9:15
  of not only how reality is defined as three separate
• 9:19
  aspects of creation, but also an example of the great truths that
• 9:25
  lie before us as we continue our ascendant, God filled journey of
• 9:29
  the ages, the immortal life. And thus we come to a close on
• 9:40
  this episode as we've discussed Paper 12 in these last few
• 9:43
  episodes of the Rancho Radio podcast.
