The Cosmic Citizen

This week we will FINALLY continue our reading of Urantia Paper 11, The Eternal Isle of Paradise, with a study of Section 8. Paradise Gravity, and we hope to conclude with Section 9. The Uniqueness of Paradise. The numerous forms of cosmic force, physical energy, universe power, and various materializations disclose three general, though not perfectly clear-cut, stages of response to Paradise gravity: Pregravity Stages (Force) - Gravity Stages (Energy) - Postgravity Stages (Universe Power). Space potency, originating from Paradise, is not subject to gravity but is the source of all force energy and material organization. Everything is ultimately drawn towards Paradise. Paradise is the eternal and exclusive realm at the center of all spiritual destinies. It's the center of infinity, distinct from the universal creation, and serves as the source of all energies and personalities. Originating from the Universal Father, Paradise symbolizes the nonpersonal aspect of reality, contrasting with the personal, spiritual expressions. It's not a creator or conscious entity but the absolute pattern for all creation. Ultimately, Paradise is the glorious, eternal abode and the final destination for all God-knowing mortals on their journey toward divinity and perfection. We hope you can join us for another exploration of the Isle of Paradise!
