Spiritual Gravity
*“P.82 - §2 Spirit realities respond to the drawing power of the center of spiritual gravity in
accordance with their qualitative value, their actual degree of spirit nature. Spirit
substance (quality) is just as responsive to spirit gravity as the organized energy of
physical matter (quantity) is responsive to physical gravity. Spiritual values and spirit
forces are real. From the viewpoint of personality, spirit is the soul of creation; matter is
the shadowy physical world.
*P.82 - §3 The reactions and fluctuations of spirit gravity are ever true to the content of
spiritual values, the qualitative spiritual status of an individual or a world. This drawing
power is instantly responsive to the inter- and intra-spirit values of any universe situation
or planetary condition. Every time a spiritual reality actualizes in the universes, this change
necessitates the immediate and instantaneous readjustment of spirit gravity. Such a new
spirit is actually a part of the Second Source and Center; and just as certainly as mortal
man becomes a spiritized being, he will attain the spiritual Son, the center and source of
spirit gravity.
*P.82 - §4 The Son's spiritual drawing power is inherent to a lesser degree in many
Paradise orders of sonship. For there do exist within the absolute spirit-gravity circuit
those local systems of spiritual attraction that function in the lesser units of creation. Such
subabsolute focalizations of spirit gravity are a part of the divinity of the Creator
personalities of time and space and are correlated with the emerging experiential
overcontrol of the Supreme Being.
*P.82 - §5 Spirit-gravity pull and response thereto operate not only on the universe as a
whole but also even between individuals and groups of individuals. There is a spiritual
cohesiveness among the spiritual and spiritized personalities of any world, race, nation, or
believing group of individuals. There is a direct attractiveness of a spirit nature between
spiritually minded persons of like tastes and longings. The term kindred spirits is not wholly
a figure of speech.”
