Pattern
From Urantia Wiki, the encyclopedia of The Urantia Book
Pattern, as a configuration of energy which has paid all gravity debt and is not gravity responsive, can pervade personalities, identities, entities, or nonliving matter, yet remains pattern and only creates copies. 0:6.10-13 36:6.6
Deity must always provide the pattern universe for mortal consciousness to progress from fact to meaning to value. 118:5.3
Pattern reveals the individual aspects of energy and personality, distinct from the total aspect. 0:6.12
The Eternal Son, as the pattern personality, bestows personality upon the myriads of creatures throughout the universe. 0:6.13 6:7 6:8.5 115:3.4
Havona serves as the divine pattern for all universes, created primarily for the satisfaction of the infinite Creators. 4:0.2 11:9.6 14:4.15 14:6.27-37
In the superuniverses, only enough perfect beings are provided for the need of pattern teacher guides in the ascending evolutionary universes encircling Havona. 32:3.12
The creative mind's dominance is evident in the formation of material mechanisms and the discovery of hidden mysteries, showcasing man's superior qualities. 42:12
Pattern is not transmissible, as Paradise and Havona are sources of duplication, not creation. 11:9.5
The Eternal Son embodies absolute personality, the Conjoint Actor encompasses spirit-mind personality, but Paradise is the absolute master pattern of universal material reality. 0:5.5 0:6.13 9:3.8 11:9.5-6 42:1.1 104:5.6 105:3.4 115:3.14
Spirit patterns do not occupy space, unlike all patterns of reality, including the pattern of an idea, which is uncertain in its spatial occupation. 118:3.7
