42:0.2 The [[manipulation]] of [[universe]] [[energy]] is ever in [[accordance]] with the [[personal]] [[Volition|will]] and the all-[[wise]] [[mandates]] of the [[Universal Father]]. This [[personal]] [[control]] of [[manifested]] [[power]] and [[circulating]] [[energy]] is [[modified]] by the [[co-ordinate]] [[acts]] and [[decisions]] of the [[Eternal Son]], as well as by the united [[purposes]] of [[the Son]] and [[the Father]] [[executed]] by the [[Conjoint Actor]]. These [[divine]] [[beings]] act [[personally]] and as [[individuals]]; they also [[function]] in the [[persons]] and [[powers]] of an almost unlimited [[number]] of subordinates, each variously [[expressive]] of the [[eternal]] and [[divine]] [[purpose]] in the [[universe of universes]]. But these [[functional]] and provisional [[modifications]] or [[transmutation]]s of [[divine]] [[power]] in no way lessen the [[truth]] of the [[statement]] that all [[force]]-[[energy]] is under the [[ultimate]] [[control]] of a [[personal]] [[God]] resident at the [[center]] of [[all things]].

42:1.1 The [[foundation]] of the [[universe]] is [[material]], but the [[essence]] of life is [[spirit]].

42:1.9 And all this [[confirms]] our [[belief]] in a [[circular]], somewhat [[limited]], but orderly and far-flung [[universe of universes]]. If this were not true, then [[evidence]] of [[energy]] depletion at some point would sooner or later [[appear]]. All [[laws]], [[organizations]], [[administration]], and the [[testimony]] of [[universe]] [[explorers]]—[[everything]] points to the [[existence]] of an [[infinite]] [[God]] but, as yet, a [[finite]] [[universe]], a [[circularity]] of endless [[existence]], well-nigh limitless but, nevertheless, [[finite]] in [[contrast]] with [[infinity]].

42:2.1 It is indeed [[difficult]] to find suitable [[words]] in the [[English]] [[language]] whereby to designate and wherewith to describe the various [[levels]] of [[force]] and [[energy]]—[[physical]], [[mindal]], or [[spiritual]]. These [[narratives]] cannot altogether follow your [[accepted]] definitions of [[force]], [[energy]], and [[power]]. There is such [[paucity]] of [[language]] that we must use these terms in multiple [[meanings]]. In this paper, for example, the [[word]] [[energy]] is used to denote all [[phases]] and [[forms]] of [[phenomenal]] [[motion]], [[action]], and [[potential]], while [[force]] is [[applied]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_11#11:8._PARADISE_GRAVITY pregravity], and [[power]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_11#11:8._PARADISE_GRAVITY postgravity], stages of [[energy]].

42:3.1 [[Matter]] in all [[universes]], excepting in the [[central universe]], is [[identical]]. [[Matter]] in its [[physical]] [[properties]] depends on the [[revolution]]ary rates of its component members, the [[number]] and size of the revolving [[members]], their [[distance]] from the nuclear [[body]] or the [[space]] [[content]] of [[matter]], as well as on the [[presence]] of certain [[forces]] as yet [[undiscovered]] on [[Urantia]].

42:3.13 The foregoing [[classification]] of [[matter]] pertains to its [[organization]] rather than to the [[forms]] of its [[appearance]] to created [[beings]]. Neither does it take into account the pre-emergent stages of [[energy]] nor the [[eternal]] [[materializations]] on [[Paradise]] and in the [[central universe]].

42:4.14 The [[quantity]] of [[energy]] taken in or given out when [[electronic]] or other positions are shifted is always a "[[quantum]]" or some multiple thereof, but the [[vibratory]] or [[Wave|wavelike]] [[behavior]] of such [[units]] of [[energy]] is wholly determined by the [[dimensions]] of the [[material]] [[structures]] concerned. Such [[Wave|wavelike]] [[energy]] ripples are 860 times the [[diameters]] of the [[ultimatons]], [[electrons]], [[atoms]], or other [[units]] thus [[performing]]. The never-ending [[confusion]] attending the [[observation]] of the [[wave]] [[mechanics]] of [[quantum]] [[behavior]] is due to the [[superimposition]] of [[energy]] [[waves]]: Two crests can combine to make a double-height crest, while a crest and a trough may combine, thus producing [[mutual]] cancellation.

42:5.1 In the [[superuniverse]] of [[Orvonton]] there are one hundred [[octaves]] of [[wave]] [[energy]]. Of these one hundred [[groups]] of [[energy]] [[manifestations]], sixty-four are wholly or partially recognized on [[Urantia]]. The [[sun]]'s [[rays]] [[constitute]] four [[octaves]] in the [[superuniverse]] [[scale]], the [[visible]] [[rays]] [[embracing]] a single [[octave]], number forty-six in this [[series]]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet ultraviolet] [[group]] comes next, while ten [[octaves]] up are the [[X rays]], followed by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium#Characteristics Y rays of radium?]. Thirty-two ''octaves'' above the [[visible]] [[light]] of the [[sun]] are the [[outer-space]] [[energy]] [[rays]] so frequently commingled with their [[associated]] highly energized minute [[particles]] of ''matter''. Next downward from [[visible]] sunlight appear the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared infrared rays], and thirty [[octaves]] below are the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_waves radio transmission group].

[[Space]] is not empty; the [[spheres]] of all [[space]] whirl and plunge on through a vast [[ocean]] of outspread [[force]]-[[energy]]; neither is the [[space]] [[content]] of an [[atom]] empty. Nevertheless there is no [[ether]], and the very [[absence]] of this [[hypothetical]] ether enables the [[inhabited planet]] to escape falling into the [[sun]] and the encircling [[electron]] to resist falling into the [[nucleus]].

42:7.10 The first twenty-seven [[atoms]], those containing from one to twenty-seven [[orbital]] [[electrons]], are more easy of [[comprehension]] than the rest. From twenty-eight upward we encounter more and more of the [[Random|unpredictability]] of the supposed [[presence]] of the [[Unqualified Absolute]]. But some of this [[electronic]] unpredictability is due to [[differential]] [[ultimatonic]] [[axial]] [[revolutionary]] [[velocities]] and to the [[unexplained]] "huddling" [[proclivity]] of [[ultimatons]]. Other [[influences]]—[[physical]], [[electrical]], [[magnetic]], and [[gravitational]]—also operate to produce [[variable]] electronic [[behavior]]. [[Atoms]] therefore are similar to [[persons]] as to [[predictability]].
