The Urantia book - The Mental Gravity Circuit

Document 9

The Third Source and Center, universal intelligence, is personally aware of each mind, of every intellect, in all creation, and maintains a personal and perfect contact with all these physical, morontine and spiritual creatures with mind in the vastness of the universes The absolute circuit of mental gravity that focuses on the Third Source and Center links all these activities of the mind that are a part of the personal consciousness of the Infinite Spirit.

Just as the Father attracts all personality towards Him, and the Son attracts all spiritual reality, so the Joint Actor exercises a power of attraction over all minds; Masterfully mastered and controlled the universal circuit of the mind. All genuine and genuine intellectual values, all divine thoughts and perfect ideas, are infallibly attracted to the absolute circuit of the mind.

Mental gravity can operate independently of material or spiritual gravity, but in any place and occasion in which the latter effect, mental gravity is always functional. When the three are associated, the severity of the personality can embrace the material creature - physical or moral, finite or absonite. But independent of this, the endowment of mind even in impersonal beings enables them to think and invest them in conscience despite the total absence of personality.

The individuality of personal, human or divine dignity, immortal or potentially immortal, does not originate in any spirit, mind or matter; It is the gift of the Universal Father. Nor is the interaction of spiritual, mental and material gravity a prerequisite for the appearance of personality severity.

The circuit of the Father can embrace a being of material mind that does not respond to spiritual gravity or may include a being of a spiritual mind that does not respond to material gravity. The operation of the gravity of personality is always a voluntary act of the Universal Father.


Although the mind is associated with energy in purely material beings, and associated with the spirit of purely spiritual personalities, innumerable orders of personality, including humans, possess minds that are associated with both energy and spirit. The spiritual aspects of the minds of creatures infallibly respond to the influence of the spiritual gravity of the Eternal Son; The material traits respond to the impulse of the gravity of the material universe.


When the cosmic mind is not associated either with energy or with the spirit, it is also subject to the demands of the gravity of material or spiritual circuits. The pure mind is only subject to the mastery of the gravity of the Actor Con-together. The pure mind is quite close to the infinite mind, and the infinite mind (the theoretical coordinate of the absolute ones of spirit and energy) is apparently a law in itself.


The greater the divergence between spirit and energy, the greater the observable function of the mind; The less the diversity between energy and spirit, the lesser the observable function of the mind. Apparently, the maximum function of the cosmic mind is in the temporal universes of space. Here the mind seems to work in an intermediate zone between energy and the spirit, but this is not true with respect to the higher levels of the mind; In Paradise, energy and spirit are essentially one.

The mental gravity circuit is reliable; It emanates from the Third Person of the Deity in Paradise, but not all observable function of the mind is predictable. Parallel to this circuit of the mind is evidenced in all parts of all the known creation a little understood presence whose function is not predictable.

We believe that this unpredictability is partly attributable to the function of the Universal Absolute. We do not know what this function consists of; we can only conjecture what activates it; And as far as its relation with the creatures, we can only speculate.

Certain stages of the unpredictability of the finite mind may be due to the incomplete state of the Supreme Being, and there is a vast area of ​​activities where the Joint Actor and the Universal Absolute may possibly be tangent.

Much is unknown about the mind, but we are sure of this: the Infinite Spirit is the perfect expression of the Creator's mind for all creatures; The Supreme Being is the evolutionary expression of the mind of all creatures for its Creator.
