42:11.5 [[Linear]]-[[gravity]] [[response]] is a [[quantitative]] [[measure]] of nonspirit [[energy]]. All [[mass]]—[[organized]] [[energy]]—is subject to this grasp except as [[motion]] and [[mind]] [[act]] upon it. [[Linear]] [[gravity]] is the short-range [[cohesive]] [[force]] of the [[macrocosmos]] somewhat as the [[forces]] of [[Particle|intra-atomic]] cohesion are the short-range [[forces]] of the [[microcosmos]]. [[Physical]] [[materialized]] [[energy]], [[organized]] as so-called [[matter]], cannot [[traverse]] [[space]] without affecting [[linear]]-[[gravity]] [[response]]. Although such [[gravity]] [[response]] is directly [[proportional]] to [[mass]], it is so [[modified]] by [[intervening]] [[space]] that the final result is no more than roughly approximated when [[expressed]] as [[inversely]] according to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_%28algebra%29 square] of the [[distance]]. [[Space]] [[eventually]] conquers [[linear]] [[gravitation]] because of the [[presence]] therein of the [[antigravity]] [[influences]] of numerous supermaterial [[forces]] which operate to neutralize [[gravity]] [[action]] and all [[responses]] thereto.

42:11.6 Extremely [[complex]] and highly [[automatic]]-appearing [[cosmic]] [[mechanisms]] always tend to [[conceal]] the [[presence]] of the [[originative]] or [[creative]] indwelling [[mind]] from any and all [[intelligences]] very far below the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_106 universe levels] of the [[nature]] and [[capacity]] of the [[mechanism]] itself. Therefore is it [[inevitable]] that the higher [[universe]] [[mechanisms]] must appear to be mindless to the lower orders of [[creatures]]. The only possible [[exception]] to such a [[conclusion]] would be the implication of mindedness in the amazing [[phenomenon]] of an apparently [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_motion self-maintaining] [[universe]] —but that is a matter of [[philosophy]] rather than one of [[actual]] [[experience]].

42:11.7 Since [[mind]] [[co-ordinates]] the [[universe]], fixity of [[mechanisms]] is nonexistent. The [[phenomenon]] of [[progressive]] [[evolution]] [[associated]] with [[cosmic]] self-maintenance is [[universal]]. The [[evolutionary]] [[capacity]] of the [[universe]] is inexhaustible in the [[infinity]] of [[spontaneity]]. [[Progress]] towards [[harmonious]] [[unity]], a growing [[experiential]] [[synthesis]] [[superimposed]] on an ever-increasing [[complexity]] of [[relationships]], could be [[effected]] only by a [[purposive]] and [[dominant]] [[mind]].

42:11.8 The higher the [[universe]] [[mind]] [[associated]] with any [[universe]] [[phenomenon]], the more [[difficult]] it is for the lower [[types]] of [[mind]] to [[discover]] it. And since the [[mind]] of the [[universe]] [[mechanism]] is [[creative]] [[spirit]]-[[mind]] (even the mindedness of the [[Infinite]]), it can never be [[discovered]] or [[discerned]] by the lower-level minds of the [[universe]], much less by the lowest mind of all, the [[human]]. The evolving [[animal]] [[mind]], while naturally [[God]]-[[seeking]], is not alone and of itself [[inherently]] God-[[knowing]].
