The Urantia Book - The Universal Manipulator

Paradise Island is the source and substance of physical gravity; and that should be sufficient to inform you that gravity is one of the most real and eternally dependable things in the whole physical universe of universes. You can not modify or annul gravity except for the forces and energies jointly promoted by the Father and the Son, who have been entrusted to the person of the Third Source and Center, with which they are associated functionally.

 The Infinite Spirit possesses a unique and amazing power: antigravity. This power is not functionally (observably) present in either the Father or the Son. This ability to withstand the pull of material gravity, inherent in the Third Source, is revealed in the personal reactions of the Conjoint Actor to certain phases of universe relationships. This unique attribute is transmissible to certain of the higher personalities of the Infinite Spirit.

Antigravity can annul gravity within a local frame; It does exerting a force equivalent presence. It operates only with reference to material gravity, and it is not the action of mind. The phenomenon of resistance to gravity of a gyroscope is a clear illustration of the effect of antigravity, but serves to illustrate the cause of antigravity.

Moreover, the Conjoint Actor display powers which can transcend force and neutralize energy. Such powers operate by slowing energy to the point of materialization and by other techniques unknown to you.

The Conjoint Creator is not energy nor the source of energy nor the destiny of energy; is the manipulator of energy. The Conjoint Creator is action: movement, change, modification, coordination, stability and balance. The energies subject to the direct or indirect control of Paradise by nature responsive to the acts of the Third Source and Center and its many agencies.

The universe of universes is permeated by the creatures of the Third Source and Center who control power; such as physical controllers, power directors, power centers, and other representatives of the God of Action who have to do with the regulation and stabilization of physical energies. All these unique creatures of physical function, possess varying attributes of power control, such as antigravity, which they use in their efforts to establish the physical equilibrium of the matter and energies of the grand universe.

All these material activities of the God of Action appear to relate his function to the Isle of Paradise, and truly agencies to take into account the absoluteness of the eternal Isle, and even depend on it. But the Conjoint Actor does not act for Paradise or reaction to it. Acts, personally, for the Father and the Son. Paradise is not a person. Shares of the Third Source and nonpersonal, impersonal, and otherwise out of the center staff are all volitional acts of the Conjoint Actor himself; are not reflections, derivations, or repercussions of anything or anyone.

Paradise is the pattern of infinity; the God of Action is the activator of that pattern. Paradise is the material fulcrum of infinity; agencies of the Third Source and Center are the levers of intelligence which motivate the material level and introduce spontaneity into the mechanism of the physical creation.
