The Supreme Being

115:4.1Any con­sid­er­a­tion of the ori­gins of God the Su­preme must be­gin with the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, for the Trin­ity is orig­i­nal De­ity while the Su­preme is de­rived De­ity. Any con­sid­er­a­tion of the growth of the Su­preme must give con­sid­er­a­tion to the ex­is­ten­tial tri­odi­ties, for they en­com­pass all ab­so­lute ac­tu­al­ity and all in­fi­nite po­ten­tial­ity (in con­junc­tion with the First Source and Cen­ter). And the evo­lu­tion­ary Su­preme is the cul­mi­nat­ing and per­son­ally vo­li­tional fo­cus of the trans­mu­ta­tion—the trans­for­ma­tion—of po­ten­tials to ac­tu­als in and on the fi­nite level of ex­is­tence. The two tri­odi­ties, ac­tual and po­ten­tial, en­com­pass the to­tal­ity of the in­ter­re­la­tion­ships of growth in the uni­verses.

115:4.2The source of the Su­preme is in the Par­a­dise Trin­ity—eter­nal, ac­tual, and un­di­vided De­ity. The Su­preme is first of all a spirit per­son, and this spirit per­son stems from the Trin­ity. But the Su­preme is sec­ondly a De­ity of growth—evo­lu­tion­ary growth—and this growth de­rives from the two tri­odi­ties, ac­tual and po­ten­tial.

115:4.3If it is dif­fi­cult to com­pre­hend that the in­fi­nite tri­odi­ties can func­tion on the fi­nite level, pause to con­sider that their very in­fin­ity must in it­self con­tain the po­ten­tial­ity of the fi­nite; in­fin­ity en­com­passes all things rang­ing from the low­est and most qual­i­fied fi­nite ex­is­tence to the high­est and un­qual­i­fiedly ab­so­lute re­al­i­ties.

115:4.4It is not so dif­fi­cult to com­pre­hend that the in­fi­nite does con­tain the fi­nite as it is to un­der­stand just how this in­fi­nite ac­tu­ally is man­i­fest to the fi­nite. But the Thought Ad­justers in­dwelling mor­tal man are one of the eter­nal proofs that even the ab­so­lute God (as ab­so­lute) can and does ac­tu­ally make di­rect con­tact with even the low­est and least of all uni­verse will crea­tures.

115:4.5The tri­odi­ties which col­lec­tively en­com­pass the ac­tual and the po­ten­tial are man­i­fest on the fi­nite level in con­junc­tion with the Su­preme Be­ing. The tech­nique of such man­i­fes­ta­tion is both di­rect and in­di­rect: di­rect in so far as tri­odity re­la­tions reper­cuss di­rectly in the Su­preme and in­di­rect in so far as they are de­rived through the even­tu­ated level of the ab­so­nite.

115:4.6Su­preme re­al­ity, which is to­tal fi­nite re­al­ity, is in pro­cess of dy­namic growth be­tween the un­qual­i­fied po­ten­tials of outer space and the un­qual­i­fied ac­tu­als at the cen­ter of all things. The fi­nite do­main thus fac­tu­al­izes through the co-op­er­a­tion of the ab­so­nite agen­cies of Par­a­dise and the Su­preme Cre­ator Per­son­al­i­ties of time. The act of ma­tur­ing the qual­i­fied pos­si­bil­i­ties of the three great po­ten­tial Ab­so­lutes is the ab­so­nite func­tion of the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse and their tran­scen­den­tal as­so­ciates. And when these even­tu­al­i­ties have at­tained to a cer­tain point of mat­u­ra­tion, the Su­preme Cre­ator Per­son­al­i­ties emerge from Par­a­dise to en­gage in the age­long task of bring­ing the evolv­ing uni­verses into fac­tual be­ing.

115:4.7The growth of Su­prem­acy de­rives from the tri­odi­ties; the spirit per­son of the Su­preme, from the Trin­ity; but the power pre­rog­a­tives of the Al­mighty are pred­i­cated on the di­vin­ity suc­cesses of God the Sev­en­fold, while the con­join­ing of the power pre­rog­a­tives of the Al­mighty Su­preme with the spirit per­son of God the Su­preme takes place by virtue of the min­istry of the Con­joint Ac­tor, who be­stowed the mind of the Su­preme as the con­join­ing fac­tor in this evo­lu­tion­ary De­ity.
