5. Deity Unity

56:5.1The one­ness, the in­di­vis­i­bil­ity, of Par­a­dise De­ity is ex­is­ten­tial and ab­so­lute. There are three eter­nal per­son­al­iza­tions of De­ity—the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, the Eter­nal Son, and the In­fi­nite Spirit—but in the Par­a­dise Trin­ity they are ac­tu­ally one De­ity, un­di­vided and in­di­vis­i­ble.

56:5.2From the orig­i­nal Par­a­dise-Ha­vona level of ex­is­ten­tial re­al­ity, two sub­ab­so­lute lev­els have dif­fer­en­ti­ated, and thereon have the Fa­ther, Son, and Spirit en­gaged in the cre­ation of nu­mer­ous per­sonal as­so­ciates and sub­or­di­nates. And while it is in­ap­pro­pri­ate in this con­nec­tion to un­der­take the con­sid­er­a­tion of ab­so­nite de­ity uni­fi­ca­tion on tran­scen­den­tal lev­els of ul­ti­macy, it is fea­si­ble to look at some fea­tures of the uni­fy­ing func­tion of the var­i­ous De­ity per­son­al­iza­tions in whom di­vin­ity is func­tion­ally man­i­fest to the di­verse sec­tors of cre­ation and to the dif­fer­ent or­ders of in­tel­li­gent be­ings.

56:5.3The pres­ent func­tion­ing of di­vin­ity in the super­uni­verses is ac­tively man­i­fest in the op­er­a­tions of the Su­preme Cre­ators—the lo­cal uni­verse Cre­ator Sons and Spir­its, the super­uni­verse An­cients of Days, and the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its of Par­a­dise. These be­ings con­sti­tute the first three lev­els of God the Sev­en­fold lead­ing in­ward to the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, and this en­tire do­main of God the Sev­en­fold is co-or­di­nat­ing on the first level of ex­pe­ri­en­tial de­ity in the evolv­ing Su­preme Be­ing.

56:5.4On Par­a­dise and in the cen­tral uni­verse, De­ity unity is a fact of ex­is­tence. Through­out the evolv­ing uni­verses of time and space, De­ity unity is an achieve­ment.
