The Almighty Supreme

116:6.1In the evo­lu­tion­ary super­uni­verses en­ergy-mat­ter is dom­i­nant ex­cept in per­son­al­ity, where spirit through the me­di­a­tion of mind is strug­gling for the mas­tery. The goal of the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses is the sub­ju­ga­tion of en­ergy-mat­ter by mind, the co-or­di­na­tion of mind with spirit, and all of this by virtue of the cre­ative and uni­fy­ing pres­ence of per­son­al­ity. Thus, in re­la­tion to per­son­al­ity, do phys­i­cal sys­tems be­come sub­or­di­nate; mind sys­tems, co-or­di­nate; and spirit sys­tems, di­rec­tive.

116:6.2This union of power and per­son­al­ity is ex­pres­sive on de­ity lev­els in and as the Su­preme. But the ac­tual evo­lu­tion of spirit dom­i­nance is a growth which is pred­i­cated on the free­will acts of the Cre­ators and crea­tures of the grand uni­verse.

116:6.3On ab­so­lute lev­els, en­ergy and spirit are one. But the mo­ment de­par­ture is made from such ab­so­lute lev­els, dif­fer­ence ap­pears, and as en­ergy and spirit move space­ward from Par­a­dise, the gulf be­tween them widens un­til in the lo­cal uni­verses they have be­come quite di­ver­gent. They are no longer iden­ti­cal, nei­ther are they alike, and mind must in­ter­vene to in­ter­re­late them.

116:6.4That en­ergy can be di­rec­tion­ized by the ac­tion of con­trol­ler per­son­al­i­ties dis­closes the re­spon­sive­ness of en­ergy to mind ac­tion. That mass can be sta­bi­lized through the ac­tion of these same con­trol­ling en­ti­ties in­di­cates the re­spon­sive­ness of mass to the or­der-pro­duc­ing pres­ence of mind. And that spirit it­self in vo­li­tional per­son­al­ity can strive through mind for the mas­tery of en­ergy-mat­ter dis­closes the po­ten­tial unity of all fi­nite cre­ation.

116:6.5There is an in­ter­de­pen­dence of all forces and per­son­al­i­ties through­out the uni­verse of uni­verses. Cre­ator Sons and Cre­ative Spir­its de­pend on the co-op­er­a­tive func­tion of the power cen­ters and phys­i­cal con­trol­lers in the or­ga­ni­za­tion of uni­verses; the Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors are in­com­plete with­out the over­con­trol of the Mas­ter Spir­its. In a hu­man be­ing the mech­a­nism of phys­i­cal life is re­spon­sive, in part, to the dic­tates of (per­sonal) mind. This very mind may, in turn, be­come dom­i­nated by the lead­ings of pur­po­sive spirit, and the re­sult of such evo­lu­tion­ary de­vel­op­ment is the pro­duc­tion of a new child of the Su­preme, a new per­sonal uni­fi­ca­tion of the sev­eral kinds of cos­mic re­al­ity.

116:6.6And as it is with the parts, so it is with the whole; the spirit per­son of Su­prem­acy re­quires the evo­lu­tion­ary power of the Al­mighty to achieve com­ple­tion of De­ity and to at­tain des­tiny of Trin­ity as­so­ci­a­tion. The ef­fort is made by the per­son­al­i­ties of time and space, but the cul­mi­na­tion and con­sum­ma­tion of this ef­fort is the act of the Al­mighty Su­preme. And while the growth of the whole is thus a to­tal­iz­ing of the col­lec­tive growth of the parts, it equally fol­lows that the evo­lu­tion of the parts is a seg­mented re­flec­tion of the pur­po­sive growth of the whole.

116:6.7On Par­a­dise, monota and spirit are as one—in­dis­tin­guish­able ex­cept by name. In Ha­vona, mat­ter and spirit, while dis­tin­guish­ably dif­fer­ent, are at the same time in­nately har­mo­nious. In the seven super­uni­verses, how­ever, there is great di­ver­gence; there is a wide gulf be­tween cos­mic en­ergy and di­vine spirit; there­fore is there a greater ex­pe­ri­en­tial po­ten­tial for mind ac­tion in har­mo­niz­ing and even­tu­ally uni­fy­ing phys­i­cal pat­tern with spir­i­tual pur­poses. In the time-evolv­ing uni­verses of space there is greater di­vin­ity at­ten­u­a­tion, more dif­fi­cult prob­lems to be solved, and larger op­por­tu­nity to ac­quire ex­pe­ri­ence in their so­lu­tion. And this en­tire super­uni­verse sit­u­a­tion brings into be­ing a larger arena of evo­lu­tion­ary ex­is­tence in which the pos­si­bil­ity of cos­mic ex­pe­ri­ence is made avail­able alike to crea­ture and Cre­ator—even to Su­preme De­ity.

116:6.8The dom­i­nance of spirit, which is ex­is­ten­tial on ab­so­lute lev­els, be­comes an evo­lu­tion­ary ex­pe­ri­ence on fi­nite lev­els and in the seven super­uni­verses. And this ex­pe­ri­ence is shared alike by all, from mor­tal man to the Su­preme Be­ing. All strive, per­son­ally strive, in the achieve­ment; all par­tic­i­pate, per­son­ally par­tic­i­pate, in the des­tiny.
