God the Supreme

117:7.1The com­pleted re­al­iza­tion of all fi­nite po­ten­tials equals the com­ple­tion of the re­al­iza­tion of all evo­lu­tion­ary ex­pe­ri­ence. This sug­gests the fi­nal emer­gence of the Su­preme as an al­mighty De­ity pres­ence in the uni­verses. We be­lieve that the Su­preme, in this stage of de­vel­op­ment, will be as dis­cretely per­son­al­ized as is the Eter­nal Son, as con­cretely pow­er­ized as is the Isle of Par­a­dise, as com­pletely uni­fied as is the Con­joint Ac­tor, and all of this within the lim­i­ta­tions of the fi­nite pos­si­bil­i­ties of Su­prem­acy at the cul­mi­na­tion of the pres­ent uni­verse age.

117:7.2While this is an en­tirely proper con­cept of the fu­ture of the Su­preme, we would call at­ten­tion to cer­tain prob­lems in­her­ent in this con­cept:

117:7.31. The Un­qual­i­fied Super­vi­sors of the Su­preme could hardly be deitized at any stage prior to his com­pleted evo­lu­tion, and yet these same super­vi­sors even now qual­i­fiedly ex­er­cise the sov­er­eignty of su­prem­acy con­cern­ing the uni­verses set­tled in light and life.

117:7.42. The Su­preme could hardly func­tion in the Trin­ity Ul­ti­mate un­til he had at­tained com­plete ac­tu­al­ity of uni­verse sta­tus, and yet the Trin­ity Ul­ti­mate is even now a qual­i­fied re­al­ity, and you have been in­formed of the ex­is­tence of the Qual­i­fied Vicegerents of the Ul­ti­mate.

117:7.53. The Su­preme is not com­pletely real to uni­verse crea­tures, but there are many rea­sons for de­duc­ing that he is quite real to the Sev­en­fold De­ity, ex­tend­ing from the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther on Par­a­dise to the Cre­ator Sons and the Cre­ative Spir­its of the lo­cal uni­verses.

117:7.6It may be that on the up­per lim­its of the fi­nite, where time con­joins tran­scended time, there is some sort of blur­ring and blend­ing of se­quence. It may be that the Su­preme is able to fore­cast his uni­verse pres­ence onto these super­time lev­els and then to a lim­ited de­gree an­tic­i­pate fu­ture evo­lu­tion by re­flect­ing this fu­ture fore­cast back to the cre­ated lev­els as the Im­ma­nence of the Pro­jected In­com­plete. Such phe­nom­ena may be ob­served wher­ever fi­nite makes con­tact with super­fi­nite, as in the ex­pe­ri­ences of hu­man be­ings who are in­dwelt by Thought Ad­justers that are ver­i­ta­ble pre­dic­tions of man’s fu­ture uni­verse at­tain­ments through­out all eter­nity.

117:7.7When mor­tal as­cend­ers are ad­mit­ted to the fi­nal­i­ter corps of Par­a­dise, they take an oath to the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, and in tak­ing this oath of al­le­giance, they are thereby pledg­ing eter­nal fi­delity to God the Su­preme, who is the Trin­ity as com­pre­hended by all fi­nite crea­ture per­son­al­i­ties. Sub­se­quently, as the fi­nal­i­ter com­pa­nies func­tion through­out the evolv­ing uni­verses, they are solely amenable to the man­dates of Par­a­dise ori­gin un­til the event­ful times of the set­tling of lo­cal uni­verses in light and life. As the new gov­ern­men­tal or­ga­ni­za­tions of these per­fected cre­ations be­gin to be re­flec­tive of the emerg­ing sov­er­eignty of the Su­preme, we ob­serve that the out­ly­ing fi­nal­i­ter com­pa­nies then ac­knowl­edge the ju­ris­dic­tional au­thor­ity of such new gov­ern­ments. It ap­pears that God the Su­preme is evolv­ing as the uni­fier of the evo­lu­tion­ary Corps of the Fi­nal­ity, but it is highly prob­a­ble that the eter­nal des­tiny of these seven corps will be di­rected by the Su­preme as a mem­ber of the Ul­ti­mate Trin­ity.

117:7.8The Su­preme Be­ing con­tains three super­fi­nite pos­si­bil­i­ties for uni­verse man­i­fes­ta­tion:

117:7.91. Ab­so­nite col­lab­o­ra­tion in the first ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­ity.

117:7.102. Coab­so­lute re­la­tion­ship in the sec­ond ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­ity.

117:7.113. Coin­fi­nite par­tic­i­pa­tion in the Trin­ity of Trin­i­ties, but we have no sat­is­fac­tory con­cept as to what this re­ally means.

117:7.12This is one of the gen­er­ally ac­cepted hy­pothe­ses of the fu­ture of the Su­preme, but there are also many spec­u­la­tions con­cern­ing his re­la­tions to the pres­ent grand uni­verse sub­se­quent to its at­tain­ment of the sta­tus of light and life.

117:7.13The pres­ent goal of the super­uni­verses is to be­come, as they are and within their po­ten­tials, per­fect, even as is Ha­vona. This per­fec­tion per­tains to phys­i­cal and spir­i­tual at­tain­ment, even to ad­min­is­tra­tive, gov­ern­men­tal, and fra­ter­nal de­vel­op­ment. It is be­lieved that, in the ages to come, the pos­si­bil­i­ties for dishar­mony, mal­ad­just­ment, and mis­adap­ta­tion will be even­tu­ally ex­hausted in the super­uni­verses. The en­ergy cir­cuits will be in per­fect bal­ance and in com­plete sub­ju­ga­tion to mind, while spirit, in the pres­ence of per­son­al­ity, will have achieved the dom­i­nance of mind.

117:7.14It is con­jec­tured that at this far-dis­tant time the spirit per­son of the Su­preme and at­tained power of the Al­mighty will have achieved co-or­di­nate de­vel­op­ment, and that both, as uni­fied in and by the Su­preme Mind, will fac­tu­al­ize as the Su­preme Be­ing, a com­pleted ac­tu­al­ity in the uni­verses—an ac­tu­al­ity which will be ob­serv­able by all crea­ture in­tel­li­gences, re­acted to by all cre­ated en­er­gies, co-or­di­nated in all spir­i­tual en­ti­ties, and ex­pe­ri­enced by all uni­verse per­son­al­i­ties.

117:7.15This con­cept im­plies the ac­tual sov­er­eignty of the Su­preme in the grand uni­verse. It is al­to­gether likely that the pres­ent Trin­ity ad­min­is­tra­tors will con­tinue as his vicegerents, but we be­lieve that the pres­ent de­mar­ca­tions be­tween the seven super­uni­verses will grad­u­ally dis­ap­pear, and that the en­tire grand uni­verse will func­tion as a per­fected whole.

117:7.16It is pos­si­ble that the Su­preme may then be per­son­ally res­i­dent on Uversa, the head­quar­ters of Or­von­ton, from which he will di­rect the ad­min­is­tra­tion of the time cre­ations, but this is re­ally only a con­jec­ture. Cer­tainly, though, the per­son­al­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing will be def­i­nitely con­tactable at some spe­cific lo­cal­ity, al­though the ubiq­uity of his De­ity pres­ence will prob­a­bly con­tinue to per­me­ate the uni­verse of uni­verses. What the re­la­tion of the super­uni­verse cit­i­zens of that age will be to the Su­preme we do not know, but it may be some­thing like the pres­ent re­la­tion­ship be­tween the Ha­vona na­tives and the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

117:7.17The per­fected grand uni­verse of those fu­ture days will be vastly dif­fer­ent from what it is at pres­ent. Gone will be the thrilling ad­ven­tures of the or­ga­ni­za­tion of the galax­ies of space, the plant­ing of life on the un­cer­tain worlds of time, and the evolv­ing of har­mony out of chaos, beauty out of po­ten­tials, truth out of mean­ings, and good­ness out of val­ues. The time uni­verses will have achieved the ful­fill­ment of fi­nite des­tiny! And per­haps for a space there will be rest, re­lax­ation from the age­long strug­gle for evo­lu­tion­ary per­fec­tion. But not for long! Cer­tainly, surely, and in­ex­orably the enigma of the emerg­ing De­ity of God the Ul­ti­mate will chal­lenge these per­fected cit­i­zens of the set­tled uni­verses just as their strug­gling evo­lu­tion­ary fore­bears were once chal­lenged by the quest for God the Su­preme. The cur­tain of cos­mic des­tiny will draw back to re­veal the tran­scen­dent grandeur of the al­lur­ing ab­so­nite quest for the at­tain­ment of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther on those new and higher lev­els re­vealed in the ul­ti­mate of crea­ture ex­pe­ri­ence.
