Phenomena Surrounding the Creation of The Local Universe Mother Spirit
(Paper 34) Prepared by Georgia Gecht
August 1965

There is much speculation and mystery about the origin and presence of the Local Universe Mother Spirit. Let us attempt a better understanding of the dual appearances of this mysterious Being by reviewing her history and origin.

We first discover her as a somewhat "individualized" being securing her PRE-PERSONAL training on the Havona worlds in close association with the Seven Spirits of the Havona circuits, being duly trained in the methods of cooperation with the Creator Son - but as yet NOT PERSONALIZED and all the while subject to the will of the Father. (162:7) (Seven Spirits Of the Circuits - 202:#5)

On Havona, her Paradise home, she finds the mind patterns for all her spirit groups of spiritual and material intelligences. Although she may never return to her homeland, she finds comfort n reflectivity phenomenon through the Supreme Being in Havona, and Majeston on Paradise, after she has had personality bestowed upon her very ceremoniously by the Universal Father, who collaborates with the Infinite Spirit and the Eternal Son at the time of her second appearance at the local universe.

The Urantia Book explains that when a Creator Son is personalized by the Universal Father and the Eternal Son, then does the Infinite Spirit INDIVIDUALIZE a new and unique representation of himself to accompany this Creator Son to the realms of space, there to be his companion. But this union apparently takes place at a very much later date.

Note that the Son is "personalized" and the Creative Spirit is "individualized." We can, for our purposes, think of her as 'fragmentized ' prepersonally, something similar to the act of the Father when he 'fragmentizes' the Thought Adjusters -- who are prepersonal (without personality).

After her long Havona training period, which probably took place at the same time Michael received his training, another very mystical appearance takes place that is more like a "borning." In the case of this second appearance at the local universe, the true segregation does not appear to be spontaneous until the final details are consummated between Michael and the Infinite Spirit concerning the physical creation of the local universe. No details are given as to the time element during the period of "incubation" -- if we may call it that -- but this child of the Infinite Spirit it would seem is present all the time, BUT NOT VISIBLE to Michael and not insensitive to the tremendous creations and happenings that are going on... but an active, sensitive, spiritually powerful part of Infinite Spirit. AN ENTITY ENFOLDED within the Infinite Spirit and BOTH are functioning as ONE.

The daughter is a trained individual but not yet born forth from Infinite Spirit and during these long ages is perhaps being modified and qualified to take on the finite responsibilities as an individual in time and space and during this enfoldment is also being endowed with a personal nature TINGED WITH THAT OF THE MASTER SPIRIT. But up to this point the Local Universe Spirit presence is INCOMPLETELY DIFFERENTIATED from the spirit of the Infinite Spirit.

We are told that "although it is somewhat difficult to portray this early universe presence of the Infinite Spirit as a person, nevertheless, to the Creator Son, the Spirit associate IS personal and has always functioned as a distinct individual. (374:3) The time of purely physical organization of creation required over a billion years to complete the Salvington worlds (Michael's headquarters) after which followed the creation of one hundred headquarters worlds of the projected constellations and the ten thousand headquarters spheres of the local systems with their architectural satellites. (358:#2:3)

After the creation of the universes and the establishments of the energy circuits there goes forth the proclamation of the Michael Son that LIFE IS NEXT TO BE PROJECTED IN THE NEWLY ORGANIZED UNIVERSE. Upon the PARADISE RECOGNITION of this declaration of intention and the APPROVAL OF THE PARADISE TRINITY the Deities of the Master Spirit in whose superuniverse this creation is organizing -- EMBRACE the Master Spirit. Can we not here assume that the "Deities of the Master Spirit" would consist of three personality segments only -- (Father, Son and Spirit worlds) of the twenty-one segments operating or functioning in this particular superuniverse while the other eighteen segments of the three seven-world circuits are operating in their respective superuniverses.

In the stupendous drama which is about to occur, we visualize the Master Spirit of Orvonton in a secret embrace of the Deities while at the crucial moment of the segregation and personalization of the new Local Universe Mother Spirit… the other SIX Master Spirits draw near this central lodgement and await the momentous transaction.

Suddenly there occurs what is known as a "primary eruption", a tremendous spiritual flash which can be observed as far away as the headquarters of the superuniverse. The Deities withdraw -- the Master Spirit emerges to the recognition of his fellows -- the six awaiting Master Spirit presences, and together these projected presences withdraw to their respective posts on the Infinite Spirit worlds; and there appears a CREATIVE SPIRIT PRESENCE AND POWER... UNLIKE that of the Infinite Spirit. There is a marked change in the NATURE of this amazing Spirit... who has acquired the NATURE AND PERSONAL LIKENESS of the Master Spirit who was enshrouded by the Deities in transmuting liaison with Infinite Spirit.

After the great flash, the light of the Deities disappears but the Infinite Spirit has actually left something of himself resident in the local universe -- only a marked change has occurred in its presence and power and this new personal representation of Infinite Spirit is immediately PERSONALIZED in the very presence of the Creator Son, Michael.

A most fantastic stretch of imagination cannot grasp this incomprehensible phenomena. Michael for the first time has met his bride and helper whom he has not seen before but perhaps felt the presence of and could only anticipate the ecstasy of husbanding a beautiful and perfect mate who would cooperate with him in the planning and management of the extensive affairs of a local universe and who would be his everlasting and indispensable mate in the creation of his universe children… their family, and who acts as a divine minister over them. The individualized Creative Spirit helper of the Creator Son becomes his personal creative associate, the Local Universe Mother Spirit thereafter.

And from this new personal segregation of the Conjoint Creator (Infinite Spirit) there proceed established currents and ordained circuits of spirit power, spiritual infiuence, and mind circuits pervading all the worlds and beings of Nebadon (375:2) -- whereupon the Creative Spirit begins her universe function as a distinct creative personality. (359:3) Life is ministered and maintained through the agency of this Creative Spirit. She is equally and diffusely PRESENT throughout her entire local universe just as literally and personally present on one world as on any other.

It is interesting to note that this phenomenon will have taken place seven hundred thousand times in the Grand universe when the superuniverses are completed. It carries such tremendous import and beauty; Paradise participates in it, the Deities participate and all the Master Spirits come forth hailing this great event.

Probably nothing in the life of Michael in the eternal future will be more ecstatic and sacred to him than this great ceremonial event.
