Foreword

0:11.1When the com­bined thought of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the Eter­nal Son, func­tion­ing in the God of Ac­tion, con­sti­tuted the cre­ation of the di­vine and cen­tral uni­verse, the Fa­ther fol­lowed the ex­pres­sion of his thought into the word of his Son and the act of their Con­joint Ex­ec­u­tive by dif­fer­en­ti­at­ing his Ha­vona pres­ence from the po­ten­tials of in­fin­ity. And these undis­closed in­fin­ity po­ten­tials re­main space con­cealed in the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute and di­vinely en­shrouded in the De­ity Ab­so­lute, while these two be­come one in the func­tion­ing of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute, the un­re­vealed in­fin­ity-unity of the Par­a­dise Fa­ther.

0:11.2Both po­tency of cos­mic force and po­tency of spirit force are in pro­cess of pro­gres­sive rev­e­la­tion-re­al­iza­tion as the en­rich­ment of all re­al­ity is ef­fected by ex­pe­ri­en­tial growth and through the cor­re­la­tion of the ex­pe­ri­en­tial with the ex­is­ten­tial by the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute. By virtue of the equipois­ing pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute, the First Source and Cen­ter re­al­izes ex­ten­sion of ex­pe­ri­en­tial power, en­joys iden­ti­fi­ca­tion with his evo­lu­tion­ary crea­tures, and achieves ex­pan­sion of ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity on the lev­els of Su­prem­acy, Ul­ti­macy, and Ab­so­lute­ness.

0:11.3When it is not pos­si­ble fully to dis­tin­guish the De­ity Ab­so­lute from the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute, their sup­pos­edly com­bined func­tion or co-or­di­nated pres­ence is des­ig­nated the ac­tion of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

0:11.41. The De­ity Ab­so­lute seems to be the all-pow­er­ful ac­ti­va­tor, while the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute ap­pears to be the all-ef­fi­cient mech­a­nizer of the su­premely uni­fied and ul­ti­mately co-or­di­nated uni­verse of uni­verses, even uni­verses upon uni­verses, made, mak­ing, and yet to be made.

0:11.5The De­ity Ab­so­lute can­not, or at least does not, re­act to any uni­verse sit­u­a­tion in a sub­ab­so­lute man­ner. Ev­ery re­sponse of this Ab­so­lute to any given sit­u­a­tion ap­pears to be made in terms of the wel­fare of the whole cre­ation of things and be­ings, not only in its pres­ent state of ex­is­tence, but also in view of the in­fi­nite pos­si­bil­i­ties of all fu­ture eter­nity.

0:11.6The De­ity Ab­so­lute is that po­ten­tial which was seg­re­gated from to­tal, in­fi­nite re­al­ity by the free­will choice of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, and within which all di­vin­ity ac­tiv­i­ties—ex­is­ten­tial and ex­pe­ri­en­tial—take place. This is the Qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute in con­tradis­tinc­tion to the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute; but the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute is super­ad­di­tive to both in the en­com­pass­ment of all ab­so­lute po­ten­tial.

0:11.72. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is non­per­sonal, ex­tradi­vine, and un­de­i­fied. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is there­fore de­void of per­son­al­ity, di­vin­ity, and all cre­ator pre­rog­a­tives. Nei­ther fact nor truth, ex­pe­ri­ence nor rev­e­la­tion, phi­los­o­phy nor ab­sonity are able to pen­e­trate the na­ture and char­ac­ter of this Ab­so­lute with­out uni­verse qual­i­fi­ca­tion.

0:11.8Let it be made clear that the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is a pos­i­tive re­al­ity per­vad­ing the grand uni­verse and, ap­par­ently, ex­tend­ing with equal space pres­ence on out into the force ac­tiv­i­ties and pre­ma­te­rial evo­lu­tions of the stag­ger­ing stretches of the space re­gions be­yond the seven super­uni­verses. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is not a mere neg­a­tivism of philo­sophic con­cept pred­i­cated on the as­sump­tions of meta­phys­i­cal soph­ist­ries con­cern­ing the uni­ver­sal­ity, dom­i­nance, and pri­macy of the un­con­di­tioned and the un­qual­i­fied. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is a pos­i­tive uni­verse over­con­trol in in­fin­ity; this over­con­trol is space-force un­lim­ited but is def­i­nitely con­di­tioned by the pres­ence of life, mind, spirit, and per­son­al­ity, and is fur­ther con­di­tioned by the will-re­ac­tions and pur­pose­ful man­dates of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

0:11.9We are con­vinced that the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is not an un­dif­fer­en­ti­ated and all-per­vad­ing in­flu­ence com­pa­ra­ble ei­ther to the pan­the­is­tic con­cepts of meta­physics or to the some­time ether hy­poth­e­sis of sci­ence. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is force un­lim­ited and De­ity con­di­tioned, but we do not fully per­ceive the re­la­tion of this Ab­so­lute to the spirit re­al­i­ties of the uni­verses.

0:11.103. The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute, we log­i­cally de­duce, was in­ev­i­ta­ble in the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther’s ab­so­lute free­will act of dif­fer­en­ti­at­ing uni­verse re­al­i­ties into de­i­fied and un­de­i­fied—per­son­al­iz­able and non­per­son­al­iz­able—val­ues. The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute is the De­ity phe­nom­e­non in­dica­tive of the res­o­lu­tion of the ten­sion cre­ated by the free­will act of thus dif­fer­en­ti­at­ing uni­verse re­al­ity, and func­tions as the as­so­cia­tive co-or­di­na­tor of these sum to­tals of ex­is­ten­tial po­ten­tial­i­ties.

0:11.11The ten­sion-pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute sig­ni­fies the ad­just­ment of dif­fer­en­tial be­tween de­ity re­al­ity and un­de­i­fied re­al­ity in­her­ent in the sep­a­ra­tion of the dy­nam­ics of free­will di­vin­ity from the stat­ics of un­qual­i­fied in­fin­ity.

0:11.12Al­ways re­mem­ber: Po­ten­tial in­fin­ity is ab­so­lute and in­sep­a­ra­ble from eter­nity. Ac­tual in­fin­ity in time can never be any­thing but par­tial and must there­fore be non­ab­so­lute; nei­ther can in­fin­ity of ac­tual per­son­al­ity be ab­so­lute ex­cept in un­qual­i­fied De­ity. And it is the dif­fer­en­tial of in­fin­ity po­ten­tial in the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute and the De­ity Ab­so­lute that eter­nal­izes the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute, thereby mak­ing it cos­mi­cally pos­si­ble to have ma­te­rial uni­verses in space and spir­i­tu­ally pos­si­ble to have fi­nite per­son­al­i­ties in time.

0:11.13The fi­nite can co­ex­ist in the cos­mos along with the In­fi­nite only be­cause the as­so­cia­tive pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute so per­fectly equal­izes the ten­sions be­tween time and eter­nity, fin­ity and in­fin­ity, re­al­ity po­ten­tial and re­al­ity ac­tu­al­ity, Par­a­dise and space, man and God. As­so­cia­tively the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute con­sti­tutes the iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of the zone of pro­gress­ing evo­lu­tional re­al­ity ex­is­tent in the time-space, and in the tran­scended time-space, uni­verses of subin­fi­nite De­ity man­i­fes­ta­tion.

0:11.14The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute is the po­ten­tial of the static-dy­namic De­ity func­tion­ally re­al­iz­able on time-eter­nity lev­els as fi­nite-ab­so­lute val­ues and as pos­si­ble of ex­pe­ri­en­tial-ex­is­ten­tial ap­proach. This in­com­pre­hen­si­ble as­pect of De­ity may be static, po­ten­tial, and as­so­cia­tive but is not ex­pe­ri­en­tially cre­ative or evo­lu­tional as con­cerns the in­tel­li­gent per­son­al­i­ties now func­tion­ing in the mas­ter uni­verse.

0:11.15The Ab­so­lute. The two Ab­so­lutes—qual­i­fied and un­qual­i­fied—while so ap­par­ently di­ver­gent in func­tion as they may be ob­served by mind crea­tures, are per­fectly and di­vinely uni­fied in and by the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute. In the last anal­y­sis and in the fi­nal com­pre­hen­sion all three are one Ab­so­lute. On subin­fi­nite lev­els they are func­tion­ally dif­fer­en­ti­ated, but in in­fin­ity they are ONE.

0:11.16We never use the term the Ab­so­lute as a nega­tion of aught or as a de­nial of any­thing. Nei­ther do we re­gard the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute as self-de­ter­mi­na­tive, a sort of pan­the­is­tic and im­per­sonal De­ity. The Ab­so­lute, in all that per­tains to uni­verse per­son­al­ity, is strictly Trin­ity lim­ited and De­ity dom­i­nated.
