INTRODUCTION


The universe mechanism most deeply pervading the cosmological descriptions in The URANTIA Book is neither named nor explained. It consists in the universal enstructuration of reality. Atoms twist together into planets and galaxies. Nascent spirit and undifferentiated mind weave into higher realities and interact delicately across dimensional boundaries. Creative, or primal, realities are present in those that are relatively lower, or derivative: the Universal Father, for example, existing in all persons and Paradise in all material realities. All of this is in one way or another the thread running through Starwind. I call it multilevelate reality. The matrix of speculative detail developed in Starwind is intended to serve as an elementary model of multilevelate reality and to provide a lens through which to view URANTIA Book statements for further insight.
