Foreword

0:4.1Re­al­ity dif­fer­en­tially ac­tu­al­izes on di­verse uni­verse lev­els; re­al­ity orig­i­nates in and by the in­fi­nite vo­li­tion of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and is re­al­iz­able in three pri­mal phases on many dif­fer­ent lev­els of uni­verse ac­tu­al­iza­tion:

0:4.21. Un­de­i­fied re­al­ity ranges from the en­ergy do­mains of the non­per­sonal to the re­al­ity realms of the non­per­son­al­iz­able val­ues of uni­ver­sal ex­is­tence, even to the pres­ence of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

0:4.32. De­i­fied re­al­ity em­braces all in­fi­nite De­ity po­ten­tials rang­ing up­ward through all realms of per­son­al­ity from the low­est fi­nite to the high­est in­fi­nite, thus en­com­pass­ing the do­main of all that which is per­son­al­iz­able and more—even to the pres­ence of the De­ity Ab­so­lute.

0:4.43. In­teras­so­ci­ated re­al­ity. Uni­verse re­al­ity is sup­pos­edly ei­ther de­i­fied or un­de­i­fied, but to sub­de­i­fied be­ings there ex­ists a vast do­main of in­teras­so­ci­ated re­al­ity, po­ten­tial and ac­tu­al­iz­ing, which is dif­fi­cult of iden­ti­fi­ca­tion. Much of this co-or­di­nate re­al­ity is em­braced within the realms of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

0:4.5This is the pri­mal con­cept of orig­i­nal re­al­ity: The Fa­ther ini­ti­ates and main­tains Re­al­ity. The pri­mal dif­fer­en­tials of re­al­ity are the de­i­fied and the un­de­i­fied—the De­ity Ab­so­lute and the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute. The pri­mal re­la­tion­ship is the ten­sion be­tween them. This Fa­ther-ini­ti­ated di­vin­ity-ten­sion is per­fectly re­solved by, and eter­nal­izes as, the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

0:4.6From the view­point of time and space, re­al­ity is fur­ther di­vis­i­ble as:

0:4.71. Ac­tual and Po­ten­tial. Re­al­i­ties ex­ist­ing in full­ness of ex­pres­sion in con­trast to those which carry undis­closed ca­pac­ity for growth. The Eter­nal Son is an ab­so­lute spir­i­tual ac­tu­al­ity; mor­tal man is very largely an un­re­al­ized spir­i­tual po­ten­tial­ity.

0:4.82. Ab­so­lute and Sub­ab­so­lute. Ab­so­lute re­al­i­ties are eter­nity ex­is­tences. Sub­ab­so­lute re­al­i­ties are pro­jected on two lev­els: Ab­sonites—re­al­i­ties which are rel­a­tive with re­spect to both time and eter­nity. Finites—re­al­i­ties which are pro­jected in space and are ac­tu­al­ized in time.

0:4.93. Ex­is­ten­tial and Ex­pe­ri­en­tial. Par­a­dise De­ity is ex­is­ten­tial, but the emerg­ing Su­preme and Ul­ti­mate are ex­pe­ri­en­tial.

0:4.104. Per­sonal and Im­per­sonal. De­ity ex­pan­sion, per­son­al­ity ex­pres­sion, and uni­verse evo­lu­tion are for­ever con­di­tioned by the Fa­ther’s free­will act which for­ever sep­a­rated the mind-spirit-per­sonal mean­ings and val­ues of ac­tu­al­ity and po­ten­tial­ity cen­ter­ing in the Eter­nal Son from those things which cen­ter and in­here in the eter­nal Isle of Par­a­dise.

0:4.11PAR­A­DISE is a term in­clu­sive of the per­sonal and the non­per­sonal fo­cal Ab­so­lutes of all phases of uni­verse re­al­ity. Par­a­dise, prop­erly qual­i­fied, may con­note any and all forms of re­al­ity, De­ity, di­vin­ity, per­son­al­ity, and en­ergy—spir­i­tual, mindal, or ma­te­rial. All share Par­a­dise as the place of ori­gin, func­tion, and des­tiny, as re­gards val­ues, mean­ings, and fac­tual ex­is­tence.

0:4.12The Isle of Par­a­dise—Par­a­dise not oth­er­wise qual­i­fied—is the Ab­so­lute of the ma­te­rial-grav­ity con­trol of the First Source and Cen­ter. Par­a­dise is mo­tion­less, be­ing the only sta­tion­ary thing in the uni­verse of uni­verses. The Isle of Par­a­dise has a uni­verse lo­ca­tion but no po­si­tion in space. This eter­nal Isle is the ac­tual source of the phys­i­cal uni­verses—past, pres­ent, and fu­ture. The nu­clear Isle of Light is a De­ity deriva­tive, but it is hardly De­ity; nei­ther are the ma­te­rial cre­ations a part of De­ity; they are a con­se­quence.

0:4.13Par­a­dise is not a cre­ator; it is a unique con­trol­ler of many uni­verse ac­tiv­i­ties, far more of a con­trol­ler than a re­ac­tor. Through­out the ma­te­rial uni­verses Par­a­dise in­flu­ences the re­ac­tions and con­duct of all be­ings hav­ing to do with force, en­ergy, and power, but Par­a­dise it­self is unique, ex­clu­sive, and iso­lated in the uni­verses. Par­a­dise rep­re­sents noth­ing and noth­ing rep­re­sents Par­a­dise. It is nei­ther a force nor a pres­ence; it is just Par­a­dise.
