In The Urantia Book the word energy is used to denote all phases and forms of phenomenal motion, action, and potential, while force is applied to the pregravity, and power to the postgravity, stages of energy. [1] The three original phases of divine energy are the physical, the mindal, and the spiritual energy. [2] Energy is an all-inclusive term applied in The Urantia Book to spiritual, mindal, and material realms. [3]
Communication lanes or lines of energy, sometimes also called an energy paths, are a direct circuit of energy from one power center to another power center or from one physical controller to another controller. [6]
Specialized currents of time and space are definite and localized energy movements initiated and directed for specific purposes, much as the Gulf Stream of the Atlantic Ocean. [7]
The great circuits of energy, mind, and spirit are never the permanent possessions of ascending personality; these ministries remain forever a part of Supremacy. [8]
The physical-energy circuits administered by the power centers of Uversa require a little over 968 million years to complete the encirclement of the superuniverse. [9] Only those suns which function in the direct channels of the main streams of universe energy can shine on forever. [10] Suns transform and send forth much of the energy of space which comes their way in the established space circuits. [11] One of superuniverse energy circuits are the energy circuits of the power centres and the physical controllers. [12] Transport seraphim travel along energy circuits. [13]
The power centers and their subordinate controllers are assigned to the working of all of the physical energies of organized space. They work with the three basic currents of ten energies each. That is the energy charge of organized space; and organized space is their domain. [14] The power pressure and the energy charge of an entire superuniverse registered by master frandalanks. [15]
The manipulation of universe energy is ever in accordance with the personal will and the all-wise mandates of the Universal Father. [16] Creature mind does not inherently control energy; that is a Deity prerogative. [17] The eternal cycle of energy, being circuited in the Father of universes, is absolute and, being absolute, is expansile in neither fact nor value. [18] Undoubtedly the Paradise Deities know of the existence of these undiscovered energy systems of space, but they never divulge such information. [19] The creation of energy and the bestowal of life are the prerogatives of the Universal Father and his associate Creator personalities. [20] Energy manipulators oare one of celestial artisans. [21]
The vast stream of energy proceeding from the Paradise Presences has never lapsed, never failed; there has never been a break in the infinite upholding. [22] Energy transformers change physical form of energies of space. [23] Force organizers modify space-force into energy. [24]
Infinite Spirit possesses unique prerogatives of synthesis, infinite capacity to co-ordinate all existing universe energies, all actual universe spirits, and all real universe intellects; can slow down energy to the point of materialization. [25]
Energy-matter seemingly evolves in the depths of space and is organized as power by the children of the Infinite Spirit in conjunction with the Creator Sons of God. [26] Life has inherent capacity for the mobilization and transmutation of universal energy. [27] Power directors themselves are energy catalyzers; that is, they cause energy to segment, organize, or assemble in unit formation by their presence. [28] Power directors maintain equilibrium between energy and matter. [29] Energy regulators are Primary Eventuated Master Force Organizers, Associate Transcendental Master Force Organizers and Universe Power Directors. [30]
The fourth triunity absolutely controls the fundamental units of cosmic energy and releases them from the grasp of the Unqualified Absolute in direct proportion to the appearance in the experiential Deities of subabsolute capacity to control and stabilize the metamorphosing cosmos. [31] Mind is not inherent in energy; energy is receptive and responsive to mind. [32] Secondary dissociators evolve limitless supplies of physical energy on the local worlds or in the local systems. [33] Viewed as unspiritual phenomenon, God is energy. [34]
All force-energy originally proceeded from nether Paradise and will eventually return thereto following the completion of its space circuit. [35]
Energies and materia of the universe did not all come from nether Paradise; space is the womb of several forms of matter and prematter as absoluta. Though the outer zone of the Paradise force center is the source of space-energies, space does not originate there. Space is not force, energy, or power. [36] Energy proceeds from APradise, and is fashioned after Paradise. [37] Force, energy, and power, they are all one in origin. [38] A modification of the force-charge of space signalizes the appearance of energy systems responsive to the pull of Paradise gravity. [39]
There are 3 universally distributed phases of energy, each with 10 forms. Each phase has a velocity of 186,280 miles/second. [40]
The power centers and controllers exert perfect control over only seven of the ten forms of energy contained in each basic universe current; those forms which are partly or wholly exempt from their control must represent the unpredictable realms of energy manifestation dominated by the Unqualified Absolute. [41]
The material of Havona consists of the organization of exactly one thousand basic chemical elements and the balanced function of the seven forms of Havona energy. [42] There are 30 energy segregations in superuniverses. [43] All units of cosmic energy are in primary revolution, are engaged in the execution of their mission, while swinging around the universal orbit. [44]
All forms of basic energy ever swing around the curved path of the space levels of the master universe in obedience to the incessant and absolute pull of Paradise gravity. [45] Collisions of dead giants of space convert matter into rarest form of energy. [46] In all the physical universes of time and space there is a universal manifestation of the decimal constitution of energy. [47] Energy is the basis of all existence, and pure energy is controlled by the Universal Father. [48]
Force-energy is imperishable, indestructible; these manifestations of the Infinite may be subject to unlimited transmutation, endless transformation, and eternal metamorphosis; but in no sense or degree, not even to the slightest imaginable extent, could they or ever shall they suffer extinction. [49]
Each local universe embraces exactly one one-hundred-thousandth part of the total energy charge of a superuniverse irrespective of nebular relationship, for energy is not organized by nebulae—it is universally distributed. [50] Any and all that responds to the material-gravity circuit centering in nether Paradise, we call matter—energy-matter in all its metamorphic states. [51] Power and energy are the universal evidences of the stability, constancy, and eternity of the central Isle of Paradise. [52] Factors preventing gravity from converting all energy to matter are antigravity influences and disintegration of matter. [53]
Formula equating energy to matter says the increase of mass in matter is equal to the increase of energy divided by the square of the velocity of light. [54] When electrons pass from higher to lower energy levels of orbital revolution, quanta are always given off. [55] Evolving energy has substance; it has weight, although weight is always relative, depending on revolutionary velocity, mass, and antigravity. [56] Heat and antigravity disrupt matter and dissipate energy. [57] The actual energy stored in the invisible particles of physical matter is well-nigh unimaginable. [58] Inherent qualities of energy insure orderly evolution of new physical systems. [59] Lava flows help insulate against space-energies. [60]
The laws of physical-energy behavior are basically universal, but local influences have much to do with the physical conditions which prevail on individual planets and in local systems. [61]
Through animals, fire, wind, water, electricity, and other undiscovered sources of energy, man has liberated, and will continue to liberate, himself from the necessity for unremitting toil. [62] Mass in matter tends to retard velocity in energy. [63] Physical materialized energy is organized as so-called matter. [64]
The individual worlds are in the charge of Master Physical Controllers and receive the encircuited lines of power dispatched by the power center of their system. [65] On Paradise, energy and spirit are essentially one. [66] Divine energy pervades all creation. [67] The times of plus energy there are power disturbances and heat fluctuations accompanied by electrical manifestations. [68]
Force, energy, is the one thing which stands as an everlasting monument demonstrating and proving the existence and presence of the Universal Absolute. [69]
The relative integrity of matter is assured by the fact that energy can be absorbed or released only in those exact amounts which Urantia scientists have designated quanta. [70] All physical force, energy, and matter are one. Same thing as light, heat, electricity, magnetism, chemism, and matter. [71]
Even after all possible progress, forever will scientists be powerless to create one atom of matter or to originate one flash of energy or ever to add to matter that which we call life. [72]
Energy-matter seemingly evolves in the depths of space and is organized as power by the children of the Infinite Spirit in conjunction with the Creator Sons of God. [73]
When the energies of the universe are so slowed down that they acquire the requisite degree of motion, then, under favorable conditions, these same energies become mass. [74]
The blazing suns can transform matter into various forms of energy, but the dark worlds and all outer space can slow down electronic and ultimatonic activity to the point of converting these energies into the matter of the realms. [75] The accumulation and transmission of certain universal space-energies is one of the sources of solar energy. [76]
The threefold energy charge spreads throughout the space of the grand universe; it is like a vast moving ocean of energy which engulfs and bathes the whole of each of the seven supercreations. [77] Stellar explosions due to ultimatonic condensation become energy of rarest form. [78] Energy is stored in ultimatons; when ultimatons aggregate into electrons also condensation occurs with a consequent storage of energy. [79] Suns almost wholly transmute energy into light. [80]
Suns and the dark giants of space, serve the power centers and physical controllers as way stations for the effective concentrating and directionizing of the energy circuits of the material creations. [81] The ultimaton is the first measurable form of energy, and has Paradise as its nucleus. [82] Force-energy is variously gravity responsive. [83]
In the superuniverse of Orvonton there are one hundred octaves of wave energy. [84]
Wavelike energy manifestations—from the standpoint of twentieth-century Urantia scientific enlightenment—may be classified into the following ten groups: [85] Energy moves through space as particles in a straight line, not as waves. [86] Passage of energy particles through absoluta and segregata, creates wave appearance. [87] Such wavelike energy ripples are 860 times the diameters of the ultimatons, electrons, atoms, or other units thus performing. [88]
The wavelike energy extension of an electron may so spread out as to occupy the whole of the lesser atomic orbits; especially is this true of the electrons nearest the atomic nucleus. [89] The sun’s rays constitute four octaves in the superuniverse scale, the visible rays embracing a single octave, number forty-six in this series. [90] Wavelike energy extension of electrons near nucleus. [91]
