The Ways Of The Infinite Spirit

Who is the Infinite Spirit? In this episode, we go all the way back to the beginning of time in order to understand this Third Person of Deity, the Conjoint Actor, who bridges the Spirit and Mind throughout the universes of creation as the very active Third Person of the Trinity

1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,960
Welcome to another edition of
the Rancho Radio podcast.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,000
My name is Jim Watkins.
It's good to have you by.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,160
We're going to be talking about
something I think is kind of

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,480
cool, and I think it'll give us
all a much greater appreciation

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,239
of the third person of deity,
otherwise known as the Infinite

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,080
Spirit.
So we'll delve into that in just

7
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:19,960
a moment.
Also want to welcome a new

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,120
sponsor to the podcast,
something I think we can all get

9
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,190
behind.
Freefiltering.org allows you to

10
00:00:26,190 --> 00:00:29,830
set perimeters to keep adult
contact out of the hands and

11
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:32,670
smart phones of your kids.
If you use my code, they'll know

12
00:00:32,670 --> 00:00:36,390
I sent you Again, It's free and
it helps you set up protections

13
00:00:36,390 --> 00:00:39,430
to keep porn or any adult
content from breaching your

14
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:40,670
home.
The address is

15
00:00:40,670 --> 00:00:47,350
www.freefiltering.org, then
forward slash number sign and

16
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:53,230
save kids freefiltering.org,
then forward slash number sign.

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,240
And then just type in save kids.
We'll be talking about the God

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,160
of action in just a moment, the
third person of the Trinity,

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,600
when the Rancho Radio podcast
continues.

20
00:01:19,330 --> 00:01:21,250
Thank you for coming into the
program.

21
00:01:21,330 --> 00:01:23,010
We're just trying to spread the
good news.

22
00:01:23,570 --> 00:01:26,690
You know, the thing that moves
me the most is the thought of

23
00:01:26,690 --> 00:01:30,050
what it was like during the
Sumerian period when Mel Kasidic

24
00:01:30,330 --> 00:01:34,010
had sent out his Salem
missionaries to all points of

25
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:36,370
the earth and how hard that must
have been.

26
00:01:37,070 --> 00:01:39,990
People are hungry again.
They're getting hungry.

27
00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:43,910
They're realizing that this
material world that we're in is

28
00:01:44,030 --> 00:01:48,910
not so satisfying especially in
some sectors it seems to be

29
00:01:48,910 --> 00:01:53,910
disintegrating and and there's a
lot of uncertainty in this time.

30
00:01:54,430 --> 00:01:58,670
So but I do want to get to a
thing about the spirit of God

31
00:01:58,950 --> 00:02:02,750
because it's we spend a lot of
time on the podcast talking

32
00:02:02,750 --> 00:02:04,630
about.
So I want to read through some

33
00:02:04,630 --> 00:02:07,600
of the.
Sections that we find in paper 8

34
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,120
on the infinite Spirit and his
relationship to the universe and

35
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,240
to us as humans.
I mean most of us if we were

36
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,160
raised in a Christian
environment or a Catholic or

37
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,480
Jewish environment, we know that
the Holy Spirit is the spirit of

38
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,320
God, the spirit of the angels,
right?

39
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:28,000
The God of Action.
And in paper 8 we'll start off

40
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,800
with Section 1, The God of
Action Functions and the Dead

41
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,640
Fault of Space are astir they're
describing.

42
00:02:34,940 --> 00:02:40,340
The emergence of creation.
So sit back and relax while we

43
00:02:40,340 --> 00:02:45,220
enjoy this narrative provided by
our revelators telling about the

44
00:02:45,220 --> 00:02:49,380
beginnings of things.
The God of action functions and

45
00:02:49,380 --> 00:02:54,180
the dead balls of space are
astir 1 billion perfect spheres

46
00:02:54,580 --> 00:02:58,220
lash into existence prior to
this hypothetical eternity

47
00:02:58,220 --> 00:03:01,740
moment, the space energies
inherent in paradise are

48
00:03:01,740 --> 00:03:03,740
existent and potentially
operative.

49
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:06,520
But they have no actuality of
being.

50
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,120
Neither can physical gravity be
measured except by the reaction

51
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,200
of material realities to its
incessant pull.

52
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,800
There is no material universe at
this assumed, eternally distant

53
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,600
moment.
But the very instant that 1

54
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,920
billion worlds materialize,
there is in evidence gravity

55
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:31,920
sufficient and adequate to hold
them in the everlasting grasp of

56
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:35,350
Paradise.
There now flashes through the

57
00:03:35,350 --> 00:03:40,470
creation of the gods the second
form of energy, and this

58
00:03:40,510 --> 00:03:45,350
outflowing spirit is instantly
grasped by the spiritual gravity

59
00:03:45,910 --> 00:03:49,390
of the eternal Sun.
Thus the twofold gravity

60
00:03:49,390 --> 00:03:53,910
embraced universe is touched
with the energy of Infinity and

61
00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:56,670
immersed in the spirit of
divinity.

62
00:03:57,350 --> 00:04:01,350
In this way is the soil of life
prepared for the consciousness.

63
00:04:01,690 --> 00:04:05,850
Of mind made manifest in the
associated intelligent circuits

64
00:04:06,250 --> 00:04:11,490
of the infinite spirit.
Upon these seeds of potential

65
00:04:11,490 --> 00:04:15,690
existence diffuse throughout the
central creation of the gods.

66
00:04:16,170 --> 00:04:19,850
The father acts and creature
personality appears.

67
00:04:20,930 --> 00:04:24,690
Then does the presence of the
paradise deities fill all

68
00:04:24,690 --> 00:04:29,410
organized space and begin
effectively to draw all things

69
00:04:29,730 --> 00:04:34,210
and beings?
Paradise Word, the infinite

70
00:04:34,210 --> 00:04:38,770
Spirit eternalizes concurrently
with the birth of the havona

71
00:04:38,770 --> 00:04:43,370
world, this central universe
being created by Him and with

72
00:04:43,370 --> 00:04:49,210
Him and in Him, in obedience to
the combined concepts and united

73
00:04:49,210 --> 00:04:54,810
wills of the Father and the Son.
The third person deitizes by

74
00:04:54,810 --> 00:04:57,930
this very act of conjoint
creation.

75
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:02,300
And He thus forever becomes the
Conjoint Creator.

76
00:05:03,740 --> 00:05:07,260
These are the grand and awful
times of the creative expansion

77
00:05:07,780 --> 00:05:11,140
of the Father and the Son, by
and in the action of their

78
00:05:11,140 --> 00:05:16,180
Conjoint Associate and exclusive
Executive, the Third Source and

79
00:05:16,180 --> 00:05:18,860
Center.
There exists no record of these

80
00:05:18,860 --> 00:05:21,940
stirring times.
We have only the meager

81
00:05:21,940 --> 00:05:26,100
disclosures of the Infinite
Spirit to substantiate these

82
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:30,470
mighty transactions.
And he merely verifies the fact

83
00:05:30,470 --> 00:05:33,990
that the central universe and
all that pertains there to

84
00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:39,550
eternalized simultaneously with
his attainment of personality

85
00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:44,750
and conscious existence.
In brief, the infinite Spirit

86
00:05:44,750 --> 00:05:49,870
testifies that since He is
eternal, so also is the central

87
00:05:49,870 --> 00:05:53,910
universe eternal.
And this is the traditional

88
00:05:53,910 --> 00:05:57,550
starting point of the history of
universe, of universes.

89
00:05:58,090 --> 00:06:02,130
Absolutely nothing is known and
no records are in existence

90
00:06:02,730 --> 00:06:05,650
regarding any event or
transaction prior to this

91
00:06:05,810 --> 00:06:10,490
stupendous eruption of creative
energy and administrative wisdom

92
00:06:11,050 --> 00:06:15,690
that crystallized the vast
universe which exists and so

93
00:06:15,690 --> 00:06:18,890
exquisitely functions as the
center of all things.

94
00:06:19,570 --> 00:06:22,770
Beyond this event lie the
unsearchable transactions of

95
00:06:22,770 --> 00:06:25,970
eternity and the depths of
Infinity.

96
00:06:26,010 --> 00:06:29,480
Absolute mystery.
So that is the real Big Bang.

97
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:33,800
When everything began, that's
when the Trinity began to work

98
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,320
as one force.
You know, it's interesting, in

99
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,720
the news this week they
announced that they're pushing

100
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:45,160
back what they thought was the
age of the present universe from

101
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:52,560
14.6 billion years to 26.8
billion years.

102
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:54,760
Amazing how quickly that
changed.

103
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,280
Picking up from paper eight,
Section 1, paragraph 10, and

104
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:04,480
thus we portray the sequential
origin of the third a source and

105
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,800
center as an interpretive
condescension to the time bound

106
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,920
and space conditioned mind of
mortal creatures.

107
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,680
The mind of man must have a
starting point for the

108
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,800
visualization of universe
history.

109
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,720
And I have been directed to
provide this technique of

110
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,600
approach to the historic concept
of eternity in the material

111
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,520
mind.
Consistency demands a first

112
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,080
cause.
Therefore do we postulate the

113
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,920
Universal Father as the first
source and the absolute center

114
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,400
of all creation, at the same
time instructing all creature

115
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,520
minds that the Son and the
Spirit are Co eternal with the

116
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,920
Father in all phases of universe
history and in all realms of

117
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,080
creative activity, the Infinite
Spirit.

118
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,200
As the universe revelation of
divinity is unsearchable and

119
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,840
utterly beyond human
comprehension, to sense the

120
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,320
absoluteness of the Spirit, you
need only contemplate the

121
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,040
Infinity of the Universal Father
and stand in awe of the

122
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,200
Universal Son.
The Eternal Son is the only Ave.

123
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,280
of approach to the Universal
Father, and the Infinite Spirit

124
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,400
is the only means of attaining
the Eternal Son only by the

125
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,430
patient ministry of the Spirit.
Are the ascended beings of time

126
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:20,910
able to discover the sun?
The Infinite Spirit is a

127
00:08:20,910 --> 00:08:24,310
complete and perfect
personality, the divine equal

128
00:08:24,310 --> 00:08:28,110
and coordinate of the Universal
Father and the Eternal Son.

129
00:08:28,390 --> 00:08:32,350
The Conjoint Creator is just as
real and visible to the higher

130
00:08:32,350 --> 00:08:36,110
intelligence of the universe as
are the Father and the Son,

131
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:40,669
indeed more so, for it is the
Spirit whom all Ascenders must

132
00:08:40,669 --> 00:08:44,190
attain before they approach the
Father through the Son.

133
00:08:44,670 --> 00:08:48,870
There are many untrammeled lines
of spiritual forces and sources

134
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:53,350
of super material power linking
the people of Urantia directly

135
00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:56,870
with the deities of Paradise.
There exists the connection of

136
00:08:56,870 --> 00:09:00,710
the thought adjusters direct
with the Universal Father, the

137
00:09:00,710 --> 00:09:04,790
widespread influence of the
spiritual gravity urge of the

138
00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:09,390
Eternal Son, and the spiritual
presence of the conjoint

139
00:09:09,390 --> 00:09:11,910
Creator.
There is a difference.

140
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:15,880
In function between the Spirit
of the Sun and the Spirit of the

141
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,520
Spirit, the third person in his
spiritual ministry may function

142
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,120
as Mind plus Spirit or as Spirit
alone.

143
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,360
In addition to these paradise
presences, your ancients benefit

144
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,240
by the spiritual influences and
activities of the local and the

145
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,440
Super universe with their almost
endless army of loving

146
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,440
personalities.
Whoever lead the true purpose

147
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:44,120
and the honest of heart upward
and inward, towards the ideal of

148
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,080
divinity and the goal of supreme
perfection.

149
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,480
Since the third person of deity
is the source of mind, it is

150
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,880
quite natural that the
evolutionary wool creature find

151
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,480
it easier to form comprehensible
concepts of the infinite spirit

152
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,040
than they do of either the
Eternal Son or the Universal

153
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,900
Father.
Maybe This is why people are

154
00:10:06,900 --> 00:10:12,060
akin to believing in spirit
angels or guardian angels more

155
00:10:12,060 --> 00:10:15,620
easily than they would conceive
of a of a father or a great

156
00:10:15,620 --> 00:10:18,380
Creator.
The reality of the conjoint

157
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:22,660
creator is disclosed imperfectly
in the very existence of human

158
00:10:22,660 --> 00:10:25,260
mind.
The conjoint creator is the

159
00:10:25,260 --> 00:10:28,980
ancestor of the cosmic mind, and
the mind of man is an

160
00:10:28,980 --> 00:10:33,780
individualized circuit, an
impersonal portion of that

161
00:10:33,780 --> 00:10:37,360
cosmic mind.
As it is bestowed in a local

162
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,320
universe by a creative daughter
of the third source and center.

163
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,800
Because the third person is the
source of mind, do not presume

164
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,160
to reckon that all phenomena of
mind are divine.

165
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,960
Human intellect is rooted in the
material origin of the animal

166
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,600
races.
Universe.

167
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,880
Intelligence is no more a true
revelation of God who is mind,

168
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,490
than a physical nature.
Is a true revelation of the

169
00:11:04,490 --> 00:11:09,290
beauty and harmony of Paradise.
Perfection is in nature, but

170
00:11:09,370 --> 00:11:13,490
nature is not perfect.
The conjoint Creator is the

171
00:11:13,490 --> 00:11:16,970
source of mind, but mind is not
the conjoint creator.

172
00:11:18,690 --> 00:11:22,210
Mind on your Rancha is a
compromise between the essence

173
00:11:22,210 --> 00:11:26,650
of thought, perfection, and the
evolving mentality of your

174
00:11:26,650 --> 00:11:30,930
immature human nature.
The plan for your intellectual

175
00:11:30,930 --> 00:11:34,280
evolution is indeed.
One of sublime perfection.

176
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,400
But you are far short of that
divine goal as you function in

177
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:43,000
the tabernacles of the flesh.
Mind is truly of divine origin,

178
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,520
and it does have a divine
destiny.

179
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:52,040
But your immortal minds are not
yet of divine dignity too often.

180
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,400
All too often, you mar your mind
by insincerity and sear them

181
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,360
with unrighteousness.
You subject them to animal fear.

182
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,840
And distort them by useless
anxiety.

183
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,240
Therefore, though the source of
mind is divine, mind as you know

184
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,720
it on your world of ascension
can hardly become the object of

185
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,880
great admiration, much less of
adoration or worship.

186
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,160
The contemplation of the
immature and inactive human

187
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,400
intellect should only lead to
reactions of humility whenever a

188
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,520
Creator Son is is eventuated
from the Father, the first two

189
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,580
persons of Deity.
The third person of deity brings

190
00:12:32,580 --> 00:12:36,540
into existence of the creative
daughter who eventually forms a

191
00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:40,420
a partnership with the Creator
son just as what happened and

192
00:12:40,420 --> 00:12:45,220
our in our universe with Christ
Michael and that was known as

193
00:12:45,220 --> 00:12:48,860
the Jubilee of Jubilees.
I want to talk a little bit

194
00:12:48,860 --> 00:12:52,980
about the personalities who are
the offspring of the infinite

195
00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:54,780
spirit.
So there's because they're so

196
00:12:54,780 --> 00:12:57,740
intertwined with who we are in
our world and there is such a.

197
00:12:58,670 --> 00:13:02,070
A great amount of faith in the
existence of angels, who come

198
00:13:02,070 --> 00:13:06,630
from the third person of deity.
There are Creator personalities

199
00:13:06,630 --> 00:13:09,790
and creature personalities.
In addition to these two

200
00:13:09,790 --> 00:13:13,190
fundamental types, there are
personalities of the Third

201
00:13:13,190 --> 00:13:16,510
Source and Center.
The Infinite Spirit bestows

202
00:13:16,510 --> 00:13:20,230
Third Source personalities upon
numerous groups who are not

203
00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:22,790
included in the Father's
personality circuit.

204
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,240
Likewise does the infinite
Spirit treat as personalities

205
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,840
numerous groups of beings such
as the creative spirit, who are

206
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,120
in a class by themselves in
their relation to encircuited

207
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,360
creatures of the Father.
But both First Source and Third

208
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,760
Source personalities are endowed
with all, and more than man

209
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,280
associates with the concept of
personality.

210
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,480
They have minds embracing
memory, reason, judgment,

211
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,640
creative imagination, idea,
association.

212
00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:56,190
Even you will be able to see
your spiritual associates of the

213
00:13:56,190 --> 00:14:00,030
lower orders as you are
delivered from the limited

214
00:14:00,030 --> 00:14:04,590
vision of your present material
minds and have been endowed with

215
00:14:04,590 --> 00:14:08,350
a mirage of form, with its
enlarged sensitivity to the

216
00:14:08,350 --> 00:14:13,070
reality of spiritual being.
The spirit personalities of the

217
00:14:13,070 --> 00:14:17,230
vast family of the Divine and
Infinite Spirit are forever

218
00:14:17,230 --> 00:14:21,030
dedicated to the service of the
ministry of the love of God.

219
00:14:21,670 --> 00:14:24,630
And the mercy of the sun.
To all the intelligent creatures

220
00:14:24,990 --> 00:14:29,110
of the evolutionary world of
time and space, the spirit

221
00:14:29,110 --> 00:14:33,790
beings constitute the living
ladder whereby mortal man climbs

222
00:14:33,790 --> 00:14:38,430
from chaos to glory.
And that was revealed to us by a

223
00:14:38,430 --> 00:14:41,870
divine counselor of Uversa,
commissioned by the ancient days

224
00:14:42,430 --> 00:14:45,470
to portray the nature and work
of the Infinite Spirit.

225
00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:48,990
I hope that that has enlightened
you and giving you a lot to

226
00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:52,380
think about one's contemplating.
The awesome power of the

227
00:14:52,380 --> 00:14:54,660
infinite spirit.
The third person of of the

228
00:14:54,660 --> 00:14:56,980
Trinity.
Please remember to share these

229
00:14:56,980 --> 00:15:01,180
podcasts with fellow searchers
of the truth, and I look forward

230
00:15:01,180 --> 00:15:02,700
