  Welcome to another edition of the Rancho Radio podcast.
• 0:03
  My name is Jim Watkins. It's good to have you by.
• 0:06
  We're going to be talking about something I think is kind of
• 0:08
  cool, and I think it'll give us all a much greater appreciation
• 0:12
  of the third person of deity, otherwise known as the Infinite
• 0:16
  Spirit. So we'll delve into that in just
• 0:18
  a moment. Also want to welcome a new
• 0:19
  sponsor to the podcast, something I think we can all get
• 0:23

• 0:57
  of action in just a moment, the third person of the Trinity,
• 1:00
  when the Rancho Radio podcast continues.
• 1:19
  Thank you for coming into the program.
• 1:21
  We're just trying to spread the good news.
• 1:23
  You know, the thing that moves me the most is the thought of
• 1:26
  what it was like during the Sumerian period when Mel Kasidic
• 1:30
  had sent out his Salem missionaries to all points of
• 1:34
  the earth and how hard that must have been.
• 1:37
  People are hungry again. They're getting hungry.
• 1:40
  They're realizing that this material world that we're in is
• 1:44
  not so satisfying especially in some sectors it seems to be
• 1:48
  disintegrating and and there's a lot of uncertainty in this time.
• 1:54
  So but I do want to get to a thing about the spirit of God
• 1:58
  because it's we spend a lot of time on the podcast talking
• 2:02
  about. So I want to read through some
• 2:04
  of the. Sections that we find in paper 8
• 2:07
  on the infinite Spirit and his relationship to the universe and
• 2:12
  to us as humans. I mean most of us if we were
• 2:16
  raised in a Christian environment or a Catholic or
• 2:19
  Jewish environment, we know that the Holy Spirit is the spirit of
• 2:22
  God, the spirit of the angels, right?
• 2:24
  The God of Action. And in paper 8 we'll start off
• 2:28
  with Section 1, The God of Action Functions and the Dead
• 2:31
  Fault of Space are astir they're describing.
• 2:34
  The emergence of creation. So sit back and relax while we
• 2:40
  enjoy this narrative provided by our revelators telling about the
• 2:45
  beginnings of things. The God of action functions and
• 2:49
  the dead balls of space are astir 1 billion perfect spheres
• 2:54
  lash into existence prior to this hypothetical eternity
• 2:58
  moment, the space energies inherent in paradise are
• 3:01
  existent and potentially operative.
• 3:04
  But they have no actuality of being.
• 3:07
  Neither can physical gravity be measured except by the reaction
• 3:11
  of material realities to its incessant pull.
• 3:15
  There is no material universe at this assumed, eternally distant
• 3:19
  moment. But the very instant that 1
• 3:22
  billion worlds materialize, there is in evidence gravity
• 3:26
  sufficient and adequate to hold them in the everlasting grasp of
• 3:31
  Paradise. There now flashes through the
• 3:35
  creation of the gods the second form of energy, and this
• 3:40
  outflowing spirit is instantly grasped by the spiritual gravity
• 3:45
  of the eternal Sun. Thus the twofold gravity
• 3:49
  embraced universe is touched with the energy of Infinity and
• 3:53
  immersed in the spirit of divinity.
• 3:57
  In this way is the soil of life prepared for the consciousness.
• 4:01
  Of mind made manifest in the associated intelligent circuits
• 4:06
  of the infinite spirit. Upon these seeds of potential
• 4:11
  existence diffuse throughout the central creation of the gods.
• 4:16
  The father acts and creature personality appears.
• 4:20
  Then does the presence of the paradise deities fill all
• 4:24
  organized space and begin effectively to draw all things
• 4:29
  and beings? Paradise Word, the infinite
• 4:34
  Spirit eternalizes concurrently with the birth of the havona
• 4:38
  world, this central universe being created by Him and with
• 4:43
  Him and in Him, in obedience to the combined concepts and united
• 4:49
  wills of the Father and the Son. The third person deitizes by
• 4:54
  this very act of conjoint creation.
• 4:59
  And He thus forever becomes the Conjoint Creator.
• 5:03
  These are the grand and awful times of the creative expansion
• 5:07
  of the Father and the Son, by and in the action of their
• 5:11
  Conjoint Associate and exclusive Executive, the Third Source and
• 5:16
  Center. There exists no record of these
• 5:18
  stirring times. We have only the meager
• 5:21
  disclosures of the Infinite Spirit to substantiate these
• 5:26
  mighty transactions. And he merely verifies the fact
• 5:30
  that the central universe and all that pertains there to
• 5:33
  eternalized simultaneously with his attainment of personality
• 5:39
  and conscious existence. In brief, the infinite Spirit
• 5:44
  testifies that since He is eternal, so also is the central
• 5:49
  universe eternal. And this is the traditional
• 5:53
  starting point of the history of universe, of universes.
• 5:58
  Absolutely nothing is known and no records are in existence
• 6:02
  regarding any event or transaction prior to this
• 6:05
  stupendous eruption of creative energy and administrative wisdom
• 6:11
  that crystallized the vast universe which exists and so
• 6:15
  exquisitely functions as the center of all things.
• 6:19
  Beyond this event lie the unsearchable transactions of
• 6:22
  eternity and the depths of Infinity.
• 6:26
  Absolute mystery. So that is the real Big Bang.
• 6:29
  When everything began, that's when the Trinity began to work
• 6:34
  as one force. You know, it's interesting, in
• 6:37
  the news this week they announced that they're pushing
• 6:39
  back what they thought was the age of the present universe from
• 6:45
  14.6 billion years to 26.8 billion years.
• 6:52
  Amazing how quickly that changed.
• 6:55
  Picking up from paper eight, Section 1, paragraph 10, and
• 7:00
  thus we portray the sequential origin of the third a source and
• 7:04
  center as an interpretive condescension to the time bound
• 7:08
  and space conditioned mind of mortal creatures.
• 7:11
  The mind of man must have a starting point for the
• 7:15
  visualization of universe history.
• 7:18
  And I have been directed to provide this technique of
• 7:20
  approach to the historic concept of eternity in the material
• 7:24
  mind. Consistency demands a first
• 7:26
  cause. Therefore do we postulate the
• 7:29
  Universal Father as the first source and the absolute center
• 7:32
  of all creation, at the same time instructing all creature
• 7:36
  minds that the Son and the Spirit are Co eternal with the
• 7:40
  Father in all phases of universe history and in all realms of
• 7:44
  creative activity, the Infinite Spirit.
• 7:48
  As the universe revelation of divinity is unsearchable and
• 7:52
  utterly beyond human comprehension, to sense the
• 7:55
  absoluteness of the Spirit, you need only contemplate the
• 7:59
  Infinity of the Universal Father and stand in awe of the
• 8:03
  Universal Son. The Eternal Son is the only Ave.
• 8:06
  of approach to the Universal Father, and the Infinite Spirit
• 8:09
  is the only means of attaining the Eternal Son only by the
• 8:13
  patient ministry of the Spirit. Are the ascended beings of time
• 8:17
  able to discover the sun? The Infinite Spirit is a
• 8:20
  complete and perfect personality, the divine equal
• 8:24
  and coordinate of the Universal Father and the Eternal Son.
• 8:28
  The Conjoint Creator is just as real and visible to the higher
• 8:32
  intelligence of the universe as are the Father and the Son,
• 8:36
  indeed more so, for it is the Spirit whom all Ascenders must
• 8:40
  attain before they approach the Father through the Son.
• 8:44
  There are many untrammeled lines of spiritual forces and sources
• 8:48
  of super material power linking the people of Urantia directly
• 8:53
  with the deities of Paradise. There exists the connection of
• 8:56
  the thought adjusters direct with the Universal Father, the
• 9:00
  widespread influence of the spiritual gravity urge of the
• 9:04
  Eternal Son, and the spiritual presence of the conjoint
• 9:09
  Creator. There is a difference.
• 9:12
  In function between the Spirit of the Sun and the Spirit of the
• 9:15
  Spirit, the third person in his spiritual ministry may function
• 9:20
  as Mind plus Spirit or as Spirit alone.
• 9:24
  In addition to these paradise presences, your ancients benefit
• 9:28
  by the spiritual influences and activities of the local and the
• 9:32
  Super universe with their almost endless army of loving
• 9:36
  personalities. Whoever lead the true purpose
• 9:39
  and the honest of heart upward and inward, towards the ideal of
• 9:44
  divinity and the goal of supreme perfection.
• 9:48
  Since the third person of deity is the source of mind, it is
• 9:52
  quite natural that the evolutionary wool creature find
• 9:55
  it easier to form comprehensible concepts of the infinite spirit
• 10:00
  than they do of either the Eternal Son or the Universal
• 10:04
  Father. Maybe This is why people are
• 10:06
  akin to believing in spirit angels or guardian angels more
• 10:12
  easily than they would conceive of a of a father or a great
• 10:15
  Creator. The reality of the conjoint
• 10:18
  creator is disclosed imperfectly in the very existence of human
• 10:22
  mind. The conjoint creator is the
• 10:25
  ancestor of the cosmic mind, and the mind of man is an
• 10:28
  individualized circuit, an impersonal portion of that
• 10:33
  cosmic mind. As it is bestowed in a local
• 10:37
  universe by a creative daughter of the third source and center.
• 10:42
  Because the third person is the source of mind, do not presume
• 10:46
  to reckon that all phenomena of mind are divine.
• 10:51
  Human intellect is rooted in the material origin of the animal
• 10:54
  races. Universe.
• 10:56
  Intelligence is no more a true revelation of God who is mind,
• 11:01
  than a physical nature. Is a true revelation of the
• 11:04
  beauty and harmony of Paradise. Perfection is in nature, but
• 11:09
  nature is not perfect. The conjoint Creator is the
• 11:13
  source of mind, but mind is not the conjoint creator.
• 11:18
  Mind on your Rancha is a compromise between the essence
• 11:22
  of thought, perfection, and the evolving mentality of your
• 11:26
  immature human nature. The plan for your intellectual
• 11:30
  evolution is indeed. One of sublime perfection.
• 11:34
  But you are far short of that divine goal as you function in
• 11:38
  the tabernacles of the flesh. Mind is truly of divine origin,
• 11:43
  and it does have a divine destiny.
• 11:46
  But your immortal minds are not yet of divine dignity too often.
• 11:52
  All too often, you mar your mind by insincerity and sear them
• 11:56
  with unrighteousness. You subject them to animal fear.
• 12:00
  And distort them by useless anxiety.
• 12:03
  Therefore, though the source of mind is divine, mind as you know
• 12:07
  it on your world of ascension can hardly become the object of
• 12:11
  great admiration, much less of adoration or worship.
• 12:16
  The contemplation of the immature and inactive human
• 12:20
  intellect should only lead to reactions of humility whenever a
• 12:24
  Creator Son is is eventuated from the Father, the first two
• 12:28
  persons of Deity. The third person of deity brings
• 12:32
  into existence of the creative daughter who eventually forms a
• 12:36
  a partnership with the Creator son just as what happened and
• 12:40
  our in our universe with Christ Michael and that was known as
• 12:45
  the Jubilee of Jubilees. I want to talk a little bit
• 12:48
  about the personalities who are the offspring of the infinite
• 12:52
  spirit. So there's because they're so
• 12:54
  intertwined with who we are in our world and there is such a.
• 12:58
  A great amount of faith in the existence of angels, who come
• 13:02
  from the third person of deity. There are Creator personalities
• 13:06
  and creature personalities. In addition to these two
• 13:09
  fundamental types, there are personalities of the Third
• 13:13
  Source and Center. The Infinite Spirit bestows
• 13:16
  Third Source personalities upon numerous groups who are not
• 13:20
  included in the Father's personality circuit.
• 13:23
  Likewise does the infinite Spirit treat as personalities
• 13:27
  numerous groups of beings such as the creative spirit, who are
• 13:30
  in a class by themselves in their relation to encircuited
• 13:34
  creatures of the Father. But both First Source and Third
• 13:38
  Source personalities are endowed with all, and more than man
• 13:42
  associates with the concept of personality.
• 13:46
  They have minds embracing memory, reason, judgment,
• 13:49
  creative imagination, idea, association.
• 13:53
  Even you will be able to see your spiritual associates of the
• 13:56
  lower orders as you are delivered from the limited
• 14:00
  vision of your present material minds and have been endowed with
• 14:04
  a mirage of form, with its enlarged sensitivity to the
• 14:08
  reality of spiritual being. The spirit personalities of the
• 14:13
  vast family of the Divine and Infinite Spirit are forever
• 14:17
  dedicated to the service of the ministry of the love of God.
• 14:21
  And the mercy of the sun. To all the intelligent creatures
• 14:24
  of the evolutionary world of time and space, the spirit
• 14:29
  beings constitute the living ladder whereby mortal man climbs
• 14:33
  from chaos to glory. And that was revealed to us by a
• 14:38
  divine counselor of Uversa, commissioned by the ancient days
• 14:42
  to portray the nature and work of the Infinite Spirit.
• 14:45
  I hope that that has enlightened you and giving you a lot to
• 14:48
  think about one's contemplating. The awesome power of the
• 14:52
  infinite spirit. The third person of of the
• 14:54
  Trinity. Please remember to share these
• 14:56
  podcasts with fellow searchers of the truth, and I look forward
• 15:01
  to our next episode.
