Some Excerpts from
The Multilevelate Universe


"TO VENTURE distant conceptual byways of reality is a great journey. Beyond the familiar orientation of land and sky, city and forest, the conceptual traveler must devise restricting terms, point-patterned constellations for navigation." (1.1.2)

"THE KEY to the heterolevelate triate perspective lies in a heterolevelate understanding of unities. Unities are fiery crucibles of being where multiplicity melts, flows, and recasts itself across the face of reality. Accompany me in imagination, if you will, and let us speed in thought to the world of archetypicality, where bright patterns of perception drift in a boundless void. There. That linearized hourglass shape -- see? The two vertical cones joined at their tips? A horizontal plane bounds its base and another its zenith, a third bisecting its waist. This is a unity. A heterolevelate unity. In its unexpected but somehow familiar geometrical turnings is sculpted a visual understanding of how separate realities can be multiple, yet also be one." (1.4.1)

"WE HUMANS are sheltered innocents living out our spans in the nursery of finite time and space as it is experienced in our little, whirling, galactic pond. Like children, we sometimes couch the questions of the larger yearnings of our hearts in terms of our own limited experience. Questions of timelessness and spacelessness we sometimes ask in terms of before and after, here and there." (2.1.5)

"CONCEPTUAL VISITS to far primalate levelates require ideational vessels that can transport the visualizing mind through increasingly primalate universes. To slip the bonds of levelate containment and translevelate ever primalateward would be finally to reach the smallest of the small. Partating farther, one would enter the realm of the infinitesimal and emerge into -- vastness." (2.2.1)

"PICTURE IN YOUR MIND, if you will, a volume of clear water and a separate volume of clear oil. Each is featureless. Mentally mix these two fluids together and stir them. Features appear in their combination: tiny oil beadlets suspended throughout the extent of the water. In their interactions, the water, oil, and water-oil correspond to a space field, a charge field (also known as a force field), and a continuum field, respectively.
      A space field can encompass individual segments of a charge field, reality tensions being produced in each field and in their combination. The combination of a space field and a charge field, a continuum field, can be produced as a duotronic versoton in an appropriate triate. A space field and a continuum field can also be referred to as uncharged space and charged space, respectively." (2.4.1-2)

"A TRANSCEPT is a dispaceous transate enspatiated in Spatium Mindus as one of the containing spaces. It is monoforceous, its simplate charge a dispaceous fortiality enstructurating in two space fields like an object and its reflection beyond the silvery surface of a mirror." (4.4.3)

"THE REALITIES most immediately finalateward of the I AM that The URANTIA Book describes in any detail are the Seven Absolutes of Infinity. All realities between the I AM and the Seven Absolutes of Infinity it refers to as pre-existentials (1157:11), without further description. By this definition, structurates at multilevelate reality's segmentive and condensive levelates are pre-existentials -- as also are the foundates, which bring forth the realities of the four statums of the structive levelate." (5.3.8)

"BOTH THE SOUL and the morontia mind are morontiacepts: Fortium Morontius enspatiated in Spatium Mindus. The soul, like morontia mind, is a Fortium Morontius phase of a diliterate of Fortium Morontius and Fortium Spiritus enspatiated in Spatium Mindus. Therefore the soul, like morontia mind, is classified as morontial. Enspatiated in Spatium Mindus, both morontia soul and morontia mind are, in addition to being morontia realities, mindal realities.
      But soul is distinct from the mind of morontia. It is soul. It is Mindum Mindus, not Mindum Morontius. The Fortium Morontius of morontia mind enspatiates in Spatium Morontius as well as in Spatium Mindus. Unlike morontia mind, soul is not a dispatiate: its charge never enspatiates outside of Mindum Mindus. Associated through the transbrain with the vitrion as well as with the morontia branion, the soul, under the spiritizing influence of the vitris through the spirital mind, develops concepts coordinated with, but incorporating factors realitized spiritward of, the morontia mind." (5.7.6-7)
