This raises another interesting question - how were all of these diverse nebulae finally assembled into "the local star cloud of Nebadon" which now follows an orbit around the Sagittarius center of the minor sector of Ensa? (455,4) This was apparently accomplished as follows:

(a) All of these physical systems ". . . had a certain minimum commonness of space motion . . ." (455,3) We interpret this to mean that none of them were moving in irreconcilable directions in relation to the others; all of them had a reasonably common direction of motion.

(b) The power centers and the physical controllers intelligently worked to bring this about. (ibid.) The same centers and controllers who preceded Michael continued to work with him in the labors of physical organization. (358,5)

(c) The Creator Son has ". . . a little-understood attribute of material control." His presence was fixed on Salvington until the gross equilibrium of the local universe had been worked out. (359,2), (1274,4) We would interpret these statements to mean that the various motions of the various nebulae had to be correlated to the point that the entire physical aggregation would be held together in a star cloud by the natural and mutual attraction of local gravity. (359,2) This was not the attainment of final equilibrium, but it did represent the achievement of initial and gross equilibrium.

(d) The local universe took shape, not only because of the work of the power centers and physical controllers, but also because of the space presence and the physical powers of the Creative Spirit. She then possessed all the attributes of physical control that are present in the Conjoint Actor, including the endowment of antigravity. (375,6) We regard the operations of a Creative Spirit in this era as something like that of a "super-power center."

In these early days of physical organization the Universe Son and Spirit were concerned with the working out of the gross material equilibrium of their new realm. The Papers speak of these times as ". . . the long and arduous period of ... material organization . . ." (204,2) Both Son and Spirit are reactive to material realities so they are able to function jointly in this project. (374,2) The Son provided the basic patterns (374,3) and also worked as an actual manipulator of physical energy. (358,4) His creative associate was literally a local focalization of the Third Source and Center as the Infinite Manipulator (p. 101, §3), and so functioned as to transform the "energy creations" provided by the Son into "physical substances" (374,3), and otherwise exercised her endowment of "inherent physical control."
