Cosmic Mind
Audio File
The infinite and universal mind is ministered in the universes of time and space as the cosmic mind. The circuits of the cosmic mind influence the intellectual levels of all known existence. The fact of the cosmic mind explains the kinship of various types of human and superhuman minds. Not only are kindred spirits attracted to each other, but kindred minds are also very fraternal and inclined towards co-operation, the one with the other. Human minds are sometimes observed to be running in channels of astonishing similarity and inexplicable agreement,
There exists in all personality associations of the cosmic mind a quality which might be denominated the “reality response.” It is this universal cosmic endowment of will creatures, such as ourselves which saves us from becoming helpless victims of the implied a priori assumptions of science, philosophy, and religion. This reality sensitivity of the cosmic mind responds to certain phases of reality just as energy-material responds to gravity. It would be still more correct to say that these supermaterial realities so respond to the mind of the cosmos.
The cosmic mind unfailingly responds (recognizes response) on three levels of universe reality. These responses are self-evident to clear-reasoning and deep-thinking minds. These levels of reality are:
1. Causation the reality domain of the physical senses, the scientific realms of logical uniformity, the differentiation of the factual and the non-factual, reflective conclusions based on cosmic response. This is the mathematical form of the cosmic discrimination.
2. Duty the reality domain of morals in the philosophic realm, the arena of reason, the recognition of relative right and wrong. This is the judicial form of the cosmic discrimination. reflective thinking. But it is sad to record that so few persons on our planet Urantia take delight in cultivating these qualities of courageous and independent cosmic thinking.
On our planet, these three insights of the cosmic mind constitute the a priori assumptions which make it possible for us to function as a rational and self-conscious personality in the realms of science, philosophy, and religion. Stated otherwise, the recognition of the reality of these three manifest ions of the Infinite is by a cosmic technique of self-revelation. Matter-energy is recognized by the mathematical Logic of the senses; mind-reason intuitively knows its moral duty; spirit-faith (worship) is the religion of the reality of spiritual experience. These three basic factors in reflective thinking may be unified and coordinated in personality development, or they may become disproportionate and virtually unrelated in their respective functions. But when they become unified, they produce a strong character consisting in the correlation of a factual science, a moral philosophy, and a genuine religious experience. And it is these three cosmic intuitions that give objective validity, reality, to the human being’s experience in and with things, meanings, and values.
It is the purpose of education to develop and sharpen these innate endowments of the human mind; of civilization to express them; of life experience to realize them; of religion to ennoble them; and of personality to unify them.
The finite universe of matter would eventually become uniform and deterministic but for the combined presence of mind and spirit. The influence of the cosmic mind constantly injects spontaneity into even the material worlds. Freedom or initiative in any realm of existence is directly proportional to the degree of spiritual influence and cosmic-mind control; that is, in human experience, the degree of the actuality of doing “the Father’ s will.” The source of the streams of universe life and of the cosmic mind must be above the levels of their manifestation. The human mind cannot be consistently explained in terms of the lower orders of existence. The human mind can be truly comprehended only by recognizing the reality of higher orders of thought and purposive will. The human being as a moral being is inexplicable unless the reality of the Universal Father is acknowledged. And so, when you once start out to find God, that is the conclusive proof that God has already found you.
