9:5.1 The [[Third Source and Center]] is infinite in mind. If the [[Master Universe|universe]] should grow to [[infinity]], still his mind [[potential]] would be adequate to endow limitless [[numbers]] of [[creatures]] with suitable minds and other prerequisites of [[intellect]].
9:5.2 In the domain of created mind the Third Person, with his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_24 co-ordinate] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25 subordinate] associates, rules supreme. The realms of [[creature]] [[mind]] are of exclusive [[origin]] in the Third Source and Center; he is the bestower of mind. Even the [[Father fragments]] find it impossible to indwell the minds of men until the way has been properly [[prepared]] for them by the mind [[action]] and spiritual [[function]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]].
9:5.3 The [[unique]] feature of mind is that it can be bestowed upon such a wide range of life. Through his [[creative]] and creature associates the Third Source and Center ministers to all minds on all [[spheres]]. He ministers to [[human]] and [[Animal|subhuman]] [[intellect]] through the [[Adjutant Mind Spirits|adjutants of the local universes]] and, through the [[agency]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS physical controllers], ministers even to the lowest nonexperiencing entities of the most [[primitive]] types of living [[things]]. And always is the direction of mind a ministry of mind-spirit or mind-energy personalities.
9:5.4 Since the Third Person of Deity is the [[source]] of [[mind]], it is quite [[natural]] that the [[evolutionary]] [[Free Will|will]] [[creatures]] find it easier to form comprehensible [[concepts]] of the Infinite Spirit than they do of either the [[Eternal Son]] or the [[Universal Father]]. The [[reality]] of the Conjoint Creator is [[Manifestation|disclosed]] imperfectly in the very [[existence]] of human mind. The Conjoint Creator is the ancestor of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_42#10._UNIVERSAL_NONSPIRITUAL_ENERGY_SYSTEMS_.28MATERIAL_MIND_SYSTEMS.29 cosmic mind], and the mind of man is an individualized [[circuit]], an impersonal portion, of that cosmic mind as it is bestowed in a [[local universe]] by a [[Universe Mother Spirit|Creative Daughter]] of the Third Source and Center.
9:5.5 Because the Third Person is the source of mind, do not presume to reckon that all [[phenomena]] of [[mind]] are [[divine]]. [[Human]] [[intellect]] is rooted in the [[material]] [[origin]] of the [[animal]] [[Race|races]]. [[Universe]] [[intelligence]] is no more a true [[revelation]] of God who is mind than is [[physical]] [[nature]] a true revelation of the [[beauty]] and [[harmony]] of [[Paradise]]. [[Perfection]] is in nature, but nature is not perfect. The Conjoint Creator is the source of mind, but mind is not the Conjoint Creator.
9:5.6 [[Mind]], on [[Urantia]], is a [[compromise]] between the [[essence]] of [[thought]] [[perfection]] and the evolving [[Consciousness|mentality]] of your im[[mature]] [[human]] [[nature]]. The plan for your [[Intellect|intellectual]] [[evolution]] is, indeed, one of [[sublime]] [[perfection]], but you are far short of that [[Destiny|divine goal]] as you [[function]] in the tabernacles of the [[flesh]]. Mind is truly of divine [[origin]], and it does have a divine destiny, but your mortal minds are not yet of divine [[dignity]].
9:5.7 Too often, all too often, you mar your minds by in[[sincerity]] and sear them with un[[righteousness]]; you subject them to animal [[fear]] and distort them by useless [[anxiety]]. Therefore, though the source of mind is divine, mind as you know it on your world of [[ascension]] can hardly become the object of great admiration, much less of [[adoration]] or [[worship]]. The contemplation of the immature and inactive human intellect should lead only to reactions of [[humility]].
