On [[Paradise]], [[mind]] is [[absolute]]; in [[Havona]], [[absonite]]; in [[Orvonton]], [[finite]]. Mind always connotes the [[presence]]-[[activity]] of living [[ministry]] plus varied [[energy]] [[systems]], and this is true of all [[levels]] and of all kinds of [[mind]]. But beyond the cosmic mind it becomes increasingly [[difficult]] to portray the [[relationships]] of mind to nonspiritual [[energy]]. [[Havona]] mind is subabsolute but superevolutionary; being [[existential]]-[[experiential]], it is nearer the [[absonite]] than any other [[concept]] [[revealed]] to you. [[Paradise]] mind is beyond [[human]] [[understanding]]; it is [[existential]], nonspatial, and nontemporal. Nevertheless, all of these [[levels]] of [[mind]] are overshadowed by the [[universal]] [[presence]] of the [[Conjoint Actor]]—by the [[mind]]-[[gravity]] grasp of the [[God]] of mind on [[Paradise]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_42_-_Energy_-_Mind_and_Matter#10._UNIVERSAL_NONSPIRITUAL_ENERGY_SYSTEMS_.28MATERIAL_MIND_SYSTEMS.29]

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 nonfactual, [[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]].
*3.''[[Worship]]'' —the [[spiritual]] domain of the [[reality]] of religious [[experience]], the [[personal]] [[realization]] of [[divine]] [[fellowship]], the recognition of [[spirit]] [[values]], the [[assurance]] of [[eternal]] [[survival]], the [[ascent]] from the status of servants of God to the [[joy]] and [[liberty]] of the [[Children|sons]] of [[God]]. This is the highest [[insight]] of the cosmic mind, the [[reverential]] and [[worshipful]] form of the [[cosmic]] [[discrimination]].
These [[scientific]], [[moral]], and [[spiritual]] [[insights]], these [[cosmic]] [[responses]], are [[innate]] in the cosmic mind, which endows all [[will]] [[creatures]]. The [[experience]] of living never fails to [[develop]] these three cosmic [[intuitions]]; they are constitutive in the self-[[consciousness]] of [[reflective]] [[thinking]]. But it is sad to record that so few [[persons]] on [[Urantia]] take delight in cultivating these [[qualities]] of [[courageous]] and [[independent]] cosmic [[thinking]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_16#16:6._THE_COSMIC_MIND]
