Supreme and Ultimate—Time and Space

118:2.1The ubiq­uity of De­ity must not be con­fused with the ul­ti­macy of the di­vine om­nipres­ence. It is vo­li­tional with the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther that the Su­preme, the Ul­ti­mate, and the Ab­so­lute should com­pen­sate, co-or­di­nate, and unify his time-space ubiq­uity and his time-space-tran­scended om­nipres­ence with his time­less and space­less uni­ver­sal and ab­so­lute pres­ence. And you should re­mem­ber that, while De­ity ubiq­uity may be so of­ten space as­so­ci­ated, it is not nec­es­sar­ily time con­di­tioned.

118:2.2As mor­tal and mor­ontia as­cend­ers you pro­gres­sively dis­cern God through the min­istry of God the Sev­en­fold. Through Ha­vona you dis­cover God the Su­preme. On Par­a­dise you find him as a per­son, and then as fi­nal­i­ters you will pres­ently at­tempt to know him as Ul­ti­mate. Be­ing fi­nal­i­ters, there would seem to be but one course to pur­sue af­ter hav­ing at­tained the Ul­ti­mate, and that would be to be­gin the quest of the Ab­so­lute. No fi­nal­i­ter will be dis­turbed by the un­cer­tain­ties of the at­tain­ment of the De­ity Ab­so­lute since at the end of the su­preme and ul­ti­mate as­cen­sions he en­coun­tered God the Fa­ther. Such fi­nal­i­ters will no doubt be­lieve that, even if they should be suc­cess­ful in find­ing God the Ab­so­lute, they would only be dis­cov­er­ing the same God, the Par­a­dise Fa­ther man­i­fest­ing him­self on more nearly in­fi­nite and uni­ver­sal lev­els. Un­doubt­edly the at­tain­ment of God in ab­so­lute would re­veal the Pri­mal An­ces­tor of uni­verses as well as the Fi­nal Fa­ther of per­son­al­i­ties.

118:2.3God the Su­preme may not be a dem­on­stra­tion of the time-space om­nipres­ence of De­ity, but he is lit­er­ally a man­i­fes­ta­tion of di­vine ubiq­uity. Be­tween the spir­i­tual pres­ence of the Cre­ator and the ma­te­rial man­i­fes­ta­tions of cre­ation there ex­ists a vast do­main of the ubiq­ui­tous be­com­ing—the uni­verse emer­gence of evo­lu­tion­ary De­ity.

118:2.4If God the Su­preme ever as­sumes di­rect con­trol of the uni­verses of time and space, we are con­fi­dent such a De­ity ad­min­is­tra­tion will func­tion un­der the over­con­trol of the Ul­ti­mate. In such an event God the Ul­ti­mate would be­gin to be­come man­i­fest to the uni­verses of time as the tran­scen­den­tal Al­mighty (the Om­nipo­tent) ex­er­cis­ing the over­con­trol of super­time and tran­scended space con­cern­ing the ad­min­is­tra­tive func­tions of the Al­mighty Su­preme.

118:2.5The mor­tal mind may ask, even as we do: If the evo­lu­tion of God the Su­preme to ad­min­is­tra­tive au­thor­ity in the grand uni­verse is at­tended by aug­mented man­i­fes­ta­tions of God the Ul­ti­mate, will a cor­re­spond­ing emer­gence of God the Ul­ti­mate in the pos­tu­lated uni­verses of outer space be at­tended by sim­i­lar and en­hanced rev­e­la­tions of God the Ab­so­lute? But we re­ally do not know.
