The Almighty Supreme

116:7.1The grand uni­verse is not only a ma­te­rial cre­ation of phys­i­cal grandeur, spirit sub­lim­ity, and in­tel­lec­tual mag­ni­tude, it is also a mag­nif­i­cent and re­spon­sive liv­ing or­gan­ism. There is ac­tual life pul­sat­ing through­out the mech­a­nism of the vast cre­ation of the vi­brant cos­mos. The phys­i­cal re­al­ity of the uni­verses is sym­bolic of the per­ceiv­able re­al­ity of the Al­mighty Su­preme; and this ma­te­rial and liv­ing or­gan­ism is pen­e­trated by in­tel­li­gence cir­cuits, even as the hu­man body is tra­versed by a net­work of neu­ral sen­sa­tion paths. This phys­i­cal uni­verse is per­me­ated by en­ergy lanes which ef­fec­tively ac­ti­vate ma­te­rial cre­ation, even as the hu­man body is nour­ished and en­er­gized by the cir­cu­la­tory dis­tri­bu­tion of the as­sim­i­l­able en­ergy prod­ucts of nour­ish­ment. The vast uni­verse is not with­out those co-or­di­nat­ing cen­ters of mag­nif­i­cent over­con­trol which might be com­pared to the del­i­cate chem­i­cal-con­trol sys­tem of the hu­man mech­a­nism. But if you only knew some­thing about the physique of a power cen­ter, we could, by anal­ogy, tell you so much more about the phys­i­cal uni­verse.

116:7.2Much as mor­tals look to so­lar en­ergy for life main­te­nance, so does the grand uni­verse de­pend upon the un­fail­ing en­er­gies em­a­nat­ing from nether Par­a­dise to sus­tain the ma­te­rial ac­tiv­i­ties and cos­mic mo­tions of space.

116:7.3Mind has been given to mor­tals where­with they may be­come self-con­scious of iden­tity and per­son­al­ity; and mind—even a Su­preme Mind—has been be­stowed upon the to­tal­ity of the fi­nite whereby the spirit of this emerg­ing per­son­al­ity of the cos­mos ever strives for the mas­tery of en­ergy-mat­ter.

116:7.4Mor­tal man is re­spon­sive to spirit guid­ance, even as the grand uni­verse re­sponds to the far-flung spirit-grav­ity grasp of the Eter­nal Son, the uni­ver­sal super­ma­te­rial co­he­sion of the eter­nal spir­i­tual val­ues of all the cre­ations of the fi­nite cos­mos of time and space.

116:7.5Hu­man be­ings are ca­pa­ble of mak­ing an ev­er­last­ing self-iden­ti­fi­ca­tion with to­tal and in­de­struc­tible uni­verse re­al­ity—fu­sion with the in­dwelling Thought Ad­juster. Like­wise does the Su­preme ev­er­last­ingly de­pend on the ab­so­lute sta­bil­ity of Orig­i­nal De­ity, the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

116:7.6Man’s urge for Par­a­dise per­fec­tion, his striv­ing for God-at­tain­ment, cre­ates a gen­uine di­vin­ity ten­sion in the liv­ing cos­mos which can only be re­solved by the evo­lu­tion of an im­mor­tal soul; this is what hap­pens in the ex­pe­ri­ence of a sin­gle mor­tal crea­ture. But when all crea­tures and all Cre­ators in the grand uni­verse like­wise strive for God-at­tain­ment and di­vine per­fec­tion, there is built up a pro­found cos­mic ten­sion which can only find res­o­lu­tion in the sub­lime syn­the­sis of al­mighty power with the spirit per­son of the evolv­ing God of all crea­tures, the Su­preme Be­ing.
