Living Forces
We take a look at paper 36:6 on the living forces that initiate life. Where does the spark of life come from? This paper discloses how the spirit of God flows outward to new life throughout the universes of time and space.
1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,320
Welcome to the Urantia Radio
Podcast.
2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,680
My name is Jim Watkins, longtime
student and reader of the
3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,920
Urantia book.
And today we're going to talk
4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,280
about living forces.
What are the connections that
5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,760
are made in this universe when
it comes to the spirit, mind,
6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,080
and even physical matter?
Where does this life spark come
7
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:21,440
from?
How does it flow?
8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,400
Let's take a look at Paper 36
and we'll get to that in just a
9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:41,120
second.
Thank you so much for joining me
10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,760
on another edition of the
Urantia Radio podcast where we
11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,560
talk about the Urantia book and
we delve into some of the the
12
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,960
things that it says about a
whole host of things.
13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,880
One week we could be talking
about social evolution and the
14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,600
development of modern
civilization.
15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,840
In the next week we could be
talking about Moses.
16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,200
The next week we could talk
about, you know, a conversation
17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:07,560
that Jesus had with Peter or
John, Mark or, or some aspect.
18
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,280
There's all kinds of, I mean, if
you know the Urantia book, it is
19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,720
deep as well as wide and, and
the truths that it presents.
20
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,680
And one particular paragraph
paper that I really love is
21
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:24,840
paper 36 on living forces.
And this comes from that
22
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,680
particular paper that deals with
life carriers.
23
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,960
And life carriers, for those who
aren't familiar, are the that
24
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,480
that order of sons who are
responsible for implanting life
25
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,040
and actually designing life and
then planning it on the
26
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,080
evolutionary worlds of time and
space.
27
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,760
And they are they are in the
same family as Michael, but
28
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,000
Michael obviously is their
parent father.
29
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,480
And their origin is interesting
too, because they are the
30
00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:01,280
offspring of the the of of
Michael of Christ, Michael as
31
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,680
well as the spirit daughter.
And they also have as part of
32
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,160
that process, the ancients of
days, which is of course from
33
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:15,320
Trinity.
And anyway, so they have the the
34
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,760
Tri natures really.
And so it gives them certain
35
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,720
endowments and and one of those
key endowments is that they are
36
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,760
able to produce life, but not
there.
37
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,000
But there's some other
antecedents to that.
38
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,640
And that's what this section is
all about in paper 36, paragraph
39
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:37,240
6, where it talks about living
forces.
40
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,800
And then this is particularly
interesting to scientists.
41
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,760
And a lot of times we hear that
there's all kinds of stuff going
42
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,680
on in medicine and in science,
and they're trying to do some
43
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,240
pretty interesting things with
DNA and RNA and all these other
44
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,640
the, the science is in a sort of
a, it's in an explosion right
45
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:00,520
now.
The problem with it is that it's
46
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:06,200
not being guided by morality.
And what I mean by that is that
47
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,600
it used to be the Hippocratic
Oath was to do no harm.
48
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,560
But what we're seeing today is
that science has been
49
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,640
compromised by profit to a great
degree.
50
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,760
And so I want to read this and I
want you to extrapolate what
51
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,760
what you know.
He who has an ear, let him hear.
52
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,680
So this paragraph is going to
have different meaning for
53
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,840
different people depending on
your view of life.
54
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:33,440
So we should spend a few minutes
with it.
55
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,200
And it is a pretty profound
paragraph.
56
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,280
So let's take a a look at what
it says about living forces that
57
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,040
surround us and life itself.
And it starts with life is both
58
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,040
mechanistic and vitalistic,
material and spiritual.
59
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,440
Ever will your antiphysicists
and chemists progress in their
60
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,360
understanding of the
protoplasmic forms of vegetable
61
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,560
and animal life, but never will
they be able to produce living
62
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,200
organisms.
Life is something different from
63
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,480
all energy manifestations.
Even the material life of
64
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,000
physical creatures is not
inherent in matter things.
65
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Material may enjoy an
independent existence, but life
66
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,920
springs only from life.
Mind cannot be derived only from
67
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:22,200
mind can be derived only from
pre existed mind.
68
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,640
Spirit takes origin only from
spirit ancestors.
69
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,920
The creature may produce the
forms of life, but only a
70
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,760
creator personality or a
creative force can supply the
71
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,000
activating living spark.
Life carriers can organize the
72
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,920
material forms or physical
patterns of living beings, but
73
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,760
the spirit provides the initial
spark of life and bestows the
74
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,440
endowment of mind.
Even the living forms of
75
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,000
experimental life which the life
carriers organize on their
76
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:00,200
Salvington worlds are all always
devoid of reproductive powers.
77
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:05,160
When the life formulas and the
vital patterns are correctly
78
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,000
assembled and properly
organized, the presence of a
79
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,080
life carrier is sufficient to
initiate life.
80
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,200
But all such living organisms
are lacking in two essential
81
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,920
attributes, mind endowment and
reproductive powers.
82
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,520
Animal mind and human mind are
gifts of the local universe.
83
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,400
Mother Spirit functioning
through the seven Adjutant mind
84
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,080
spirits, while creature ability
to reproduce is the specific and
85
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,840
personal impartation of the
universe spirit to the ancestral
86
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:44,880
life.
Plasm inaugurated by the life
87
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,080
carriers.
When the life carriers have
88
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,000
designed the patterns of life,
after they have organized the
89
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,040
energy systems, there must occur
an additional phenomena.
90
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,080
The breath of life must be
imparted to these lifeless
91
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,240
forms.
The sons of God can construct
92
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,640
the forms of life, but it is the
Spirit of God who really
93
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,640
contributes the vital spark.
And when the life thus imparted
94
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,040
is spent, then again the
remaining matter material body
95
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,520
becomes dead matter.
When the bestowed life is
96
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,400
exhausted, the body returns to
the bosom of the material
97
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,960
universe from which it which it
was borrowed by the life
98
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,080
carriers to serve as a transient
vehicle for that life endowment
99
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,520
which they convey to such a
visible association of energy
100
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,080
matter.
The life bestowed upon plants
101
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,200
and animals by the life carriers
does not return to the life
102
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,760
carriers upon the death of a
plant or animal.
103
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,280
The departing life of such a
living thing possesses neither
104
00:06:55,280 --> 00:07:02,240
identity nor personality.
It does not individually survive
105
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,280
death.
During its existence and the
106
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:09,240
time of its sojourn in the body
of matter, it has undergone a
107
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,720
change.
It has undergone energy
108
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,280
evolution and survives only as a
part of the cosmic force of the
109
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,120
universe.
It does not survive as
110
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,880
individual life.
The survival of mortal creatures
111
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,880
is wholly predicated on the
evolvement of the immortal soul
112
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,400
within the mortal mind.
There it's specifically saying
113
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,200
that we survive not because our
physical body survives, or even
114
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,640
our intellectual body mind
survives, but because of the
115
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,720
spirit, the immortal soul that
emerges as a consequence of the
116
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,920
mortal mind choosing eternal
life.
117
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,000
We speak of life as energy and
force, but it is really neither
118
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,440
force.
Energy is variously gravity
119
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,200
responsive.
Life is not.
120
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,040
Pattern is also non responsive
to gravity, being a
121
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,960
configuration of energies that
have already fulfilled all
122
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:13,120
gravity responsive obligations.
Life as such constitutes the
123
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,160
animation of some pattern,
configuration or otherwise
124
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,440
segregated system of energy,
material, mindal or spiritual.
125
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,560
There are some things connected
with the elaboration of life on
126
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,960
the evolutionary planets which
are not altogether clear to us.
127
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,320
We fully comprehend the physical
organization of the
128
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,200
electrochemical formulas of the
life carriers, but we do not
129
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,039
wholly understand the nature and
source of the life activation
130
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:47,480
spark.
We know that it and that life
131
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,520
flows from the Father through
the sons and by the Spirit.
132
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,560
It is more than possible that
the Master Spirits are the
133
00:08:55,560 --> 00:09:00,720
sevenfold channels of the rivers
of life which is poured upon all
134
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,840
creation, but we do not
comprehend the technique whereby
135
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,600
the supervising Master Spirits
participate in the initial
136
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,000
episode of life bestowal on a
new planet.
137
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,800
The ancients of days, we are
confident, also have some part
138
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,960
in this inauguration of life on
a new world, but we are wholly
139
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,960
ignorant of the nature thereof.
We do know that the Universe
140
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,240
Mother Spirit actually vitalizes
the lifeless patterns and
141
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,600
imparts to such activated plasm
the prerogatives of organismal
142
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,480
reproduction.
We observe that these three are
143
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,640
the levels of God, the
Sevenfold, sometimes designated
144
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:48,800
as the supreme creators of time
and space, but otherwise we know
145
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,560
little more than Urantia
mortals.
146
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,680
Simply, that concept is inherent
in the Father expression in the
147
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:59,680
Son and life realization in the
Spirit.
148
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,760
Now this was indicted by a
Veranda Deck's son who was
149
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,400
stationed here as an observer
and was requested by the
150
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,680
Melchizedeks to sponsor this
particular paper.
151
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,640
And a Veranda Deck's Son is of
the Most High.
152
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,400
And when we hear the reference
to the Most Highs rule in the
153
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,760
kingdoms of men of Veranda
Deck's son is one of those three
154
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,720
most high representatives of the
Trinity.
155
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,760
They're essentially the Trinity
ambassadors.
156
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:34,320
They hail from paradise, so they
would have a lot to say and and
157
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,960
impart some great wisdom on
that.
158
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,920
But you've got the body, which
is a design, it's a pattern
159
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,200
that's been created and designed
for us.
160
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,160
We've been designed to have five
fingers.
161
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,160
We've been designed to walk
upright.
162
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,680
And you see a lot of
similarities across the, you
163
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:56,720
know, the spectrum of different
life forms.
164
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,880
You know, just think for a
moment that a jellyfish looks a
165
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,360
lot like the central nervous
system.
166
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,120
So there's a sort of a pattern
to which life seems to move.
167
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,200
And, and even the frog, which is
our ancient ancestor, you know,
168
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,800
there's a similarity between his
sperm and you know, what are
169
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,520
those things called?
The frogs tadpoles.
170
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,280
So is there's you can see how
patterns sort of move from
171
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,360
creature to creature and some
are consistent.
172
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,280
But to the to the greater point
which this article is talking
173
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,480
about is the force of life.
And the force of life
174
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,480
undoubtedly comes from the
spirit as does mind come from
175
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,600
the spirit as well.
The mind is endowed with spirit.
176
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,080
We talk a lot about free will,
recognition of morality, ethics,
177
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,360
meanings, values.
These are endowments just as the
178
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,720
spirit endows and provides that
initial spark.
179
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,480
I think it's pretty
inspirational and it once again
180
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:05,400
as a revelatory tool.
It exposes us to the fact that
181
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,560
life is not an accident.
It is purposeful, it has
182
00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:13,920
meaning, and we are not just
haphazardly moving through space
183
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,320
at some incredible speed without
a, without a, without a path.
184
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,400
I hope that you find that
informational and inspirational
185
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,040
as well.

188
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,440
I appreciate all of the thoughts
and kind words from the many
189
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,360
hundreds of listeners who stop
by every week, and I look
190
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,800
forward to our next
conversation.
191
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:55,840
See you next time
the.
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,320
Welcome to the Urantia Radio
Podcast.
2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,680
My name is Jim Watkins, longtime
student and reader of the
3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,920
Urantia book.
And today we're going to talk
4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,280
about living forces.
What are the connections that
5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,760
are made in this universe when
it comes to the spirit, mind,
6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,080
and even physical matter?
Where does this life spark come
7
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:21,440
from?
How does it flow?
8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,400
Let's take a look at Paper 36
and we'll get to that in just a
9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:41,120
second.
Thank you so much for joining me
10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,760
on another edition of the
Urantia Radio podcast where we
11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,560
talk about the Urantia book and
we delve into some of the the
12
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,960
things that it says about a
whole host of things.
13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,880
One week we could be talking
about social evolution and the
14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,600
development of modern
civilization.
15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,840
In the next week we could be
talking about Moses.
16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,200
The next week we could talk
about, you know, a conversation
17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:07,560
that Jesus had with Peter or
John, Mark or, or some aspect.
18
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,280
There's all kinds of, I mean, if
you know the Urantia book, it is
19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,720
deep as well as wide and, and
the truths that it presents.
20
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,680
And one particular paragraph
paper that I really love is
21
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:24,840
paper 36 on living forces.
And this comes from that
22
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,680
particular paper that deals with
life carriers.
23
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,960
And life carriers, for those who
aren't familiar, are the that
24
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,480
that order of sons who are
responsible for implanting life
25
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,040
and actually designing life and
then planning it on the
26
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,080
evolutionary worlds of time and
space.
27
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,760
And they are they are in the
same family as Michael, but
28
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,000
Michael obviously is their
parent father.
29
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,480
And their origin is interesting
too, because they are the
30
00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:01,280
offspring of the the of of
Michael of Christ, Michael as
31
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,680
well as the spirit daughter.
And they also have as part of
32
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,160
that process, the ancients of
days, which is of course from
33
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:15,320
Trinity.
And anyway, so they have the the
34
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,760
Tri natures really.
And so it gives them certain
35
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,720
endowments and and one of those
key endowments is that they are
36
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,760
able to produce life, but not
there.
37
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,000
But there's some other
antecedents to that.
38
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,640
And that's what this section is
all about in paper 36, paragraph
39
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:37,240
6, where it talks about living
forces.
40
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,800
And then this is particularly
interesting to scientists.
41
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,760
And a lot of times we hear that
there's all kinds of stuff going
42
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,680
on in medicine and in science,
and they're trying to do some
43
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,240
pretty interesting things with
DNA and RNA and all these other
44
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,640
the, the science is in a sort of
a, it's in an explosion right
45
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:00,520
now.
The problem with it is that it's
46
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:06,200
not being guided by morality.
And what I mean by that is that
47
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,600
it used to be the Hippocratic
Oath was to do no harm.
48
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,560
But what we're seeing today is
that science has been
49
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,640
compromised by profit to a great
degree.
50
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,760
And so I want to read this and I
want you to extrapolate what
51
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,760
what you know.
He who has an ear, let him hear.
52
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,680
So this paragraph is going to
have different meaning for
53
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,840
different people depending on
your view of life.
54
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:33,440
So we should spend a few minutes
with it.
55
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,200
And it is a pretty profound
paragraph.
56
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,280
So let's take a a look at what
it says about living forces that
57
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,040
surround us and life itself.
And it starts with life is both
58
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,040
mechanistic and vitalistic,
material and spiritual.
59
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,440
Ever will your antiphysicists
and chemists progress in their
60
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,360
understanding of the
protoplasmic forms of vegetable
61
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,560
and animal life, but never will
they be able to produce living
62
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,200
organisms.
Life is something different from
63
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,480
all energy manifestations.
Even the material life of
64
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,000
physical creatures is not
inherent in matter things.
65
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Material may enjoy an
independent existence, but life
66
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,920
springs only from life.
Mind cannot be derived only from
67
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:22,200
mind can be derived only from
pre existed mind.
68
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,640
Spirit takes origin only from
spirit ancestors.
69
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,920
The creature may produce the
forms of life, but only a
70
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,760
creator personality or a
creative force can supply the
71
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,000
activating living spark.
Life carriers can organize the
72
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,920
material forms or physical
patterns of living beings, but
73
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,760
the spirit provides the initial
spark of life and bestows the
74
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,440
endowment of mind.
Even the living forms of
75
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,000
experimental life which the life
carriers organize on their
76
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:00,200
Salvington worlds are all always
devoid of reproductive powers.
77
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:05,160
When the life formulas and the
vital patterns are correctly
78
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,000
assembled and properly
organized, the presence of a
79
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,080
life carrier is sufficient to
initiate life.
80
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,200
But all such living organisms
are lacking in two essential
81
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,920
attributes, mind endowment and
reproductive powers.
82
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,520
Animal mind and human mind are
gifts of the local universe.
83
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,400
Mother Spirit functioning
through the seven Adjutant mind
84
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,080
spirits, while creature ability
to reproduce is the specific and
85
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,840
personal impartation of the
universe spirit to the ancestral
86
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:44,880
life.
Plasm inaugurated by the life
87
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,080
carriers.
When the life carriers have
88
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,000
designed the patterns of life,
after they have organized the
89
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,040
energy systems, there must occur
an additional phenomena.
90
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,080
The breath of life must be
imparted to these lifeless
91
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,240
forms.
The sons of God can construct
92
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,640
the forms of life, but it is the
Spirit of God who really
93
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,640
contributes the vital spark.
And when the life thus imparted
94
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,040
is spent, then again the
remaining matter material body
95
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,520
becomes dead matter.
When the bestowed life is
96
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,400
exhausted, the body returns to
the bosom of the material
97
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,960
universe from which it which it
was borrowed by the life
98
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,080
carriers to serve as a transient
vehicle for that life endowment
99
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,520
which they convey to such a
visible association of energy
100
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,080
matter.
The life bestowed upon plants
101
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,200
and animals by the life carriers
does not return to the life
102
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,760
carriers upon the death of a
plant or animal.
103
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,280
The departing life of such a
living thing possesses neither
104
00:06:55,280 --> 00:07:02,240
identity nor personality.
It does not individually survive
105
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,280
death.
During its existence and the
106
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:09,240
time of its sojourn in the body
of matter, it has undergone a
107
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,720
change.
It has undergone energy
108
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,280
evolution and survives only as a
part of the cosmic force of the
109
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,120
universe.
It does not survive as
110
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,880
individual life.
The survival of mortal creatures
111
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,880
is wholly predicated on the
evolvement of the immortal soul
112
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,400
within the mortal mind.
There it's specifically saying
113
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,200
that we survive not because our
physical body survives, or even
114
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,640
our intellectual body mind
survives, but because of the
115
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,720
spirit, the immortal soul that
emerges as a consequence of the
116
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,920
mortal mind choosing eternal
life.
117
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,000
We speak of life as energy and
force, but it is really neither
118
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,440
force.
Energy is variously gravity
119
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,200
responsive.
Life is not.
120
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,040
Pattern is also non responsive
to gravity, being a
121
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,960
configuration of energies that
have already fulfilled all
122
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:13,120
gravity responsive obligations.
Life as such constitutes the
123
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,160
animation of some pattern,
configuration or otherwise
124
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,440
segregated system of energy,
material, mindal or spiritual.
125
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,560
There are some things connected
with the elaboration of life on
126
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,960
the evolutionary planets which
are not altogether clear to us.
127
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,320
We fully comprehend the physical
organization of the
128
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,200
electrochemical formulas of the
life carriers, but we do not
129
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,039
wholly understand the nature and
source of the life activation
130
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:47,480
spark.
We know that it and that life
131
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,520
flows from the Father through
the sons and by the Spirit.
132
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,560
It is more than possible that
the Master Spirits are the
133
00:08:55,560 --> 00:09:00,720
sevenfold channels of the rivers
of life which is poured upon all
134
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,840
creation, but we do not
comprehend the technique whereby
135
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,600
the supervising Master Spirits
participate in the initial
136
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,000
episode of life bestowal on a
new planet.
137
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,800
The ancients of days, we are
confident, also have some part
138
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,960
in this inauguration of life on
a new world, but we are wholly
139
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,960
ignorant of the nature thereof.
We do know that the Universe
140
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,240
Mother Spirit actually vitalizes
the lifeless patterns and
141
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,600
imparts to such activated plasm
the prerogatives of organismal
142
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,480
reproduction.
We observe that these three are
143
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,640
the levels of God, the
Sevenfold, sometimes designated
144
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:48,800
as the supreme creators of time
and space, but otherwise we know
145
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,560
little more than Urantia
mortals.
146
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,680
Simply, that concept is inherent
in the Father expression in the
147
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:59,680
Son and life realization in the
Spirit.
148
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,760
Now this was indicted by a
Veranda Deck's son who was
149
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,400
stationed here as an observer
and was requested by the
150
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,680
Melchizedeks to sponsor this
particular paper.
151
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,640
And a Veranda Deck's Son is of
the Most High.
152
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,400
And when we hear the reference
to the Most Highs rule in the
153
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,760
kingdoms of men of Veranda
Deck's son is one of those three
154
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,720
most high representatives of the
Trinity.
155
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,760
They're essentially the Trinity
ambassadors.
156
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:34,320
They hail from paradise, so they
would have a lot to say and and
157
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,960
impart some great wisdom on
that.
158
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,920
But you've got the body, which
is a design, it's a pattern
159
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,200
that's been created and designed
for us.
160
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,160
We've been designed to have five
fingers.
161
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,160
We've been designed to walk
upright.
162
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,680
And you see a lot of
similarities across the, you
163
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:56,720
know, the spectrum of different
life forms.
164
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,880
You know, just think for a
moment that a jellyfish looks a
165
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,360
lot like the central nervous
system.
166
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,120
So there's a sort of a pattern
to which life seems to move.
167
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,200
And, and even the frog, which is
our ancient ancestor, you know,
168
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,800
there's a similarity between his
sperm and you know, what are
169
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,520
those things called?
The frogs tadpoles.
170
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,280
So is there's you can see how
patterns sort of move from
171
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,360
creature to creature and some
are consistent.
172
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,280
But to the to the greater point
which this article is talking
173
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,480
about is the force of life.
And the force of life
174
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,480
undoubtedly comes from the
spirit as does mind come from
175
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,600
the spirit as well.
The mind is endowed with spirit.
176
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,080
We talk a lot about free will,
recognition of morality, ethics,
177
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,360
meanings, values.
These are endowments just as the
178
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,720
spirit endows and provides that
initial spark.
179
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,480
I think it's pretty
inspirational and it once again
180
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:05,400
as a revelatory tool.
It exposes us to the fact that
181
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,560
life is not an accident.
It is purposeful, it has
182
00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:13,920
meaning, and we are not just
haphazardly moving through space
183
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,320
at some incredible speed without
a, without a, without a path.
184
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,400
I hope that you find that
informational and inspirational
185
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,040
as well.
