The Almighty Supreme

116:4.1The unity of the Su­preme Whole is de­pen­dent on the pro­gres­sive uni­fi­ca­tion of the fi­nite parts; the ac­tu­al­iza­tion of the Su­preme is re­sul­tant from, and pro­duc­tive of, these very uni­fi­ca­tions of the fac­tors of su­prem­acy—the cre­ators, crea­tures, in­tel­li­gences, and en­er­gies of the uni­verses.

116:4.2Dur­ing those ages in which the sov­er­eignty of Su­prem­acy is un­der­go­ing its time de­vel­op­ment, the al­mighty power of the Su­preme is de­pen­dent on the di­vin­ity acts of God the Sev­en­fold, while there seems to be a par­tic­u­larly close re­la­tion­ship be­tween the Su­preme Be­ing and the Con­joint Ac­tor to­gether with his pri­mary per­son­al­i­ties, the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. The In­fi­nite Spirit as the Con­joint Ac­tor func­tions in many ways which com­pen­sate the in­com­ple­tion of evo­lu­tion­ary De­ity and sus­tains very close re­la­tions to the Su­preme. This close­ness of re­la­tion­ship is shared in mea­sure by all of the Mas­ter Spir­its but es­pe­cially by Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven, who speaks for the Su­preme. This Mas­ter Spirit knows—is in per­sonal con­tact with—the Su­preme.

116:4.3Early in the pro­jec­tion of the super­uni­verse scheme of cre­ation, the Mas­ter Spir­its joined with the an­ces­tral Trin­ity in the cocre­ation of the forty-nine Re­flec­tive Spir­its, and con­comi­tantly the Su­preme Be­ing func­tioned cre­atively as the cul­mi­na­tor of the con­joined acts of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity and the cre­ative chil­dren of Par­a­dise De­ity. Maj­es­ton ap­peared and ever since has fo­cal­ized the cos­mic pres­ence of the Su­preme Mind, while the Mas­ter Spir­its con­tinue as source-cen­ters for the far-flung min­istry of the cos­mic mind.

116:4.4But the Mas­ter Spir­its con­tinue in super­vi­sion of the Re­flec­tive Spir­its. The Sev­enth Mas­ter Spirit is (in his over­all super­vi­sion of Or­von­ton from the cen­tral uni­verse) in per­sonal con­tact with (and has over­con­trol of) the seven Re­flec­tive Spir­its lo­cated on Uversa. In his in­ter- and in­tra­super­uni­verse con­trols and ad­min­is­tra­tions he is in re­flec­tive con­tact with the Re­flec­tive Spir­its of his own type lo­cated on each super­uni­verse cap­i­tal.

116:4.5These Mas­ter Spir­its are not only the sup­port­ers and aug­menters of the sov­er­eignty of Su­prem­acy, but they are in turn af­fected by the cre­ative pur­poses of the Su­preme. Or­di­nar­ily, the col­lec­tive cre­ations of the Mas­ter Spir­its are of the quasi-ma­te­rial or­der (power di­rec­tors, etc.), while their in­di­vid­ual cre­ations are of the spir­i­tual or­der (super­na­phim, etc.). But when the Mas­ter Spir­its col­lec­tively pro­duced the Seven Cir­cuit Spir­its in re­sponse to the will and pur­pose of the Su­preme Be­ing, it is to be noted that the off­spring of this cre­ative act are spir­i­tual, not ma­te­rial or quasi-ma­te­rial.

116:4.6And as it is with the Mas­ter Spir­its of the super­uni­verses, so is it with the tri­une rulers of these super­cre­ations—the An­cients of Days. These per­son­i­fi­ca­tions of Trin­ity jus­tice-judg­ment in time and space are the field ful­crums for the mo­bi­liz­ing al­mighty power of the Su­preme, serv­ing as the sev­en­fold fo­cal points for the evo­lu­tion of trini­tar­ian sov­er­eignty in the do­mains of time and space. From their van­tage point mid­way be­tween Par­a­dise and the evolv­ing worlds, these Trin­ity-ori­gin sov­er­eigns see both ways, know both ways, and co-or­di­nate both ways.

116:4.7But the lo­cal uni­verses are the real lab­o­ra­to­ries in which are worked out the mind ex­per­i­ments, galac­tic ad­ven­tures, di­vin­ity un­fold­ings, and per­son­al­ity pro­gres­sions which, when cos­mi­cally to­taled, con­sti­tute the ac­tual foun­da­tion upon which the Su­preme is achiev­ing de­ity evo­lu­tion in and by ex­pe­ri­ence.

116:4.8In the lo­cal uni­verses even the Cre­ators evolve: The pres­ence of the Con­joint Ac­tor evolves from a liv­ing power fo­cus to the sta­tus of the di­vine per­son­al­ity of a Uni­verse Mother Spirit; the Cre­ator Son evolves from the na­ture of ex­is­ten­tial Par­a­dise di­vin­ity to the ex­pe­ri­en­tial na­ture of su­preme sov­er­eignty. The lo­cal uni­verses are the start­ing points of true evo­lu­tion, the spawn­ing grounds of bona fide im­per­fect per­son­al­i­ties en­dowed with the free­will choice of be­com­ing cocre­ators of them­selves as they are to be.

116:4.9The Mag­is­te­rial Sons in their be­stowals upon the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds even­tu­ally ac­quire na­tures ex­pres­sive of Par­a­dise di­vin­ity in ex­pe­ri­en­tial uni­fi­ca­tion with the high­est spir­i­tual val­ues of ma­te­rial hu­man na­ture. And through these and other be­stowals the Mi­chael Cre­ators like­wise ac­quire the na­tures and cos­mic view­points of their ac­tual lo­cal uni­verse chil­dren. Such Mas­ter Cre­ator Sons ap­prox­i­mate the com­ple­tion of sub­supreme ex­pe­ri­ence; and when their lo­cal uni­verse sov­er­eignty is en­larged to em­brace the as­so­ci­ated Cre­ative Spir­its, it may be said to ap­prox­i­mate the lim­its of su­prem­acy within the pres­ent po­ten­tials of the evo­lu­tion­ary grand uni­verse.

116:4.10When the be­stowal Sons re­veal new ways for man to find God, they are not cre­at­ing these paths of di­vin­ity at­tain­ment; rather are they il­lu­mi­nat­ing the ev­er­last­ing high­ways of pro­gres­sion which lead through the pres­ence of the Su­preme to the per­son of the Par­a­dise Fa­ther.

116:4.11The lo­cal uni­verse is the start­ing place for those per­son­al­i­ties who are far­thest from God, and who can there­fore ex­pe­ri­ence the great­est de­gree of spir­i­tual as­cent in the uni­verse, can achieve the max­i­mum of ex­pe­ri­en­tial par­tic­i­pa­tion in the cocre­ation of them­selves. These same lo­cal uni­verses like­wise pro­vide the great­est pos­si­ble depth of ex­pe­ri­ence for the de­scend­ing per­son­al­i­ties, who thereby achieve some­thing which is to them just as mean­ing­ful as the Par­a­dise as­cent is to an evolv­ing crea­ture.

116:4.12Mor­tal man ap­pears to be nec­es­sary to the full func­tion of God the Sev­en­fold as this di­vin­ity group­ing cul­mi­nates in the ac­tu­al­iz­ing Su­preme. There are many other or­ders of uni­verse per­son­al­i­ties who are equally nec­es­sary to the evo­lu­tion of the al­mighty power of the Su­preme, but this por­trayal is pre­sented for the ed­i­fi­ca­tion of hu­man be­ings, hence is largely lim­ited to those fac­tors op­er­at­ing in the evo­lu­tion of God the Sev­en­fold which are re­lated to mor­tal man.
