We begin our study of Urantia Paper 9, Relation of the Infinite Spirit to the Universe, with the introductory section followed by§1. Attributes of the Third Source and Center. A STRANGE thing occurred when, in the presence of Paradise, the Universal Father and the Eternal Son unite to personalize themselves. Nothing in this eternity situation foreshadows that the Conjoint Actor would personalize as an unlimited spirituality co-ordinated with absolute mind and endowed with unique prerogatives of energy manipulation. His coming into being completes the Father’s liberation from the bonds of centralized perfection and from the fetters of personality absolutism. And this liberation is disclosed in the amazing power of the Conjoint Creator to create beings well adapted to serve as ministering spirits even to the material creatures of the subsequently evolving universes. ...The Conjoint Actor possesses unique prerogatives of synthesis, infinite capacity to co-ordinate all existing universe energies, all actual universe spirits, and all real universe intellects; the Third Source and Center is the universal unifier of the manifold energies and diverse creations which have appeared in consequence of the divine plan and the eternal purpose of the Universal Father. 9:0.1–2 (98.1–2) The Third Source and Center is known by many names, all designative of relationship and in recognition of function: ..he is the personality co-ordinate and divine equal of God the Son and God the Father. ,he is an omnipresent spiritual influence. ...he is the ancestor of the power-control creatures and the activator of the cosmic forces of space. ...he is the joint representative and partnership executive of the Father-Son. ...he is the source of the endowment of intellect throughout the universes. ...he is the apparent ancestor of motion, change, and relationship. 9:1.1(98.6) Please come join us! http://tobtr.com/12316226
