From Urantia Wiki, the encyclopedia of The Urantia Book

The incredible complexity of cosmic mechanisms can mask the presence of a creative mind, leaving lower intelligences unaware of the higher nature within an apparently self-maintaining universe. 42:11.6

The concealed creative mind behind complex cosmic mechanisms renders fixity nonexistent and reveals the inexhaustible evolutionary capacity of the universe. 42:11.6-8 42:12.1

Mechanisms are fixed crystallizations of Creator thought, functioning true to volitional concept, achieving eternal expression and perfect harmony with the plan of the Infinite. 118:9.5-6

The divine mechanisms of the universe are too perfect for finite minds to discern. 42:11.2-3

Organisms are inherently active, while mechanisms are innately passive in the process of stimulus-response within the organismal-environmental association. 112:1.13

The mind reaches out to create material mechanisms. 42:12.2

Motion and gravity are twin facets of the impersonal time-space mechanism of the universe, while spirit, mind, and matter respond independently of time but only true spirit levels are nonspatial. 42:11.4

Time and space are mechanisms of the universe that enable finite creatures to coexist with the Infinite, limiting their actions while allowing for relative sovereignty within a range of choices. 118:9

Deity's eternal expression is achieved through the mechanisms that have come into existence in response to the absolute will of the First Source and Center. 118:9.6

Mechanism is present but not unqualified in the universe of universes. 195:6.14
