9:3.1 The [[Isle of Paradise]] is the [[source]] and substance of [[physical]] [[gravity]]; and that should be sufficient to inform you that gravity is one of the most real and eternally [[dependable]] [[things]] in the whole physical [[universe of universes]]. Gravity cannot be modified or annulled except by the forces and energies conjointly sponsored by the Father and the Son, which have been intrusted to, and are [[function]]ally [[associated]] with, the person of the Third Source and Center.

9:3.2 The Infinite Spirit possesses a [[unique]] and amazing [[power]]— [[antigravity]]. This power is not functionally (observably) present in either the Father or the Son. This ability to withstand the pull of material gravity, inherent in the Third Source, is revealed in the [[personal]] [[reactions]] of the Conjoint Actor to certain [[phases]] of [[universe]] [[relationships]]. And this unique [[attribute]] is transmissible to certain of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_24 higher personalities of the Infinite Spirit].

9:3.3 Antigravity can annul gravity within a [[Frame of reference|local frame]]; it does so by the exercise of [[equal]] [[force]] [[presence]]. It operates only with [[reference]] to material gravity, and it is not the [[action]] of [[mind]]. The gravity-resistant [[phenomenon]] of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope gyroscope] is a fair [[illustration]] of the [[effect]] of antigravity but of no [[value]] to illustrate the [[cause]] of [[antigravity]].

9:3.5 The Conjoint Creator is not energy nor the source of energy nor the [[destiny]] of energy; he is the [[manipulator]] of energy. The Conjoint Creator is [[action]]—[[motion]], [[change]], modification, [[co-ordination]], stabilization, and [[equilibrium]]. The energies subject to the direct or indirect control of [[Paradise]] are by [[nature]] responsive to the [[acts]] of the Third Source and Center and his manifold [[agencies]].

9:3.6 The [[universe of universes]] is permeated by the power-control creatures of the Third Source and Center: [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS physical controllers], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:1._THE_SEVEN_SUPREME_POWER_DIRECTORS power directors], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:2._THE_SUPREME_POWER_CENTERS power centers], and other representatives of the God of Action who have to do with the regulation and [[Balance|stabilization]] of [[physical]] [[energies]]. These [[unique]] [[creatures]] of [[physical]] [[function]] all possess varying attributes of power [[control]], such as antigravity, which they utilize in their efforts to establish the physical equilibrium of the matter and energies of the [[grand universe]].

9:3.7 All these [[material]] [[activities]] of the God of Action [[appear]] to relate his [[function]] to the [[Isle of Paradise]], and indeed the [[agencies]] of [[power]] are all regardful of, even dependent on, the absoluteness of the eternal Isle. But the Conjoint Actor does not act for, or in [[response]] to, [[Paradise]]. He acts, personally, for the Father and the Son. Paradise is not a [[person]]. The nonpersonal, impersonal, and otherwise not personal doings of the Third Source and Center are all volitional acts of the Conjoint Actor himself; they are not [[reflections]], derivations, or repercussions of anything or anybody.

9:3.8 [[Paradise]] is the [[pattern]] of [[infinity]]; the God of Action is the activator of that [[pattern]]. Paradise is the material [[fulcrum]] of [[infinity]]; the [[agencies]] of the Third Source and Center are the [[lever]]s of [[intelligence]] which [[motivate]] the [[material]] level and inject [[spontaneity]] into the [[mechanism]] of the [[physical]] [[creation]].
