6. Unification of Evolutionary Deity

56:6.1When the three eter­nal per­sons of De­ity func­tion as un­di­vided De­ity in the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, they achieve per­fect unity; like­wise, when they cre­ate, ei­ther as­so­cia­tively or sev­er­ally, their Par­a­dise progeny ex­hibit the char­ac­ter­is­tic unity of di­vin­ity. And this di­vin­ity of pur­pose man­i­fested by the Su­preme Cre­ators and Rulers of the time-space do­mains even­tu­ates in the uni­fy­ing power po­ten­tial of the sov­er­eignty of ex­pe­ri­en­tial su­prem­acy which, in the pres­ence of the im­per­sonal en­ergy unity of the uni­verse, con­sti­tutes a re­al­ity ten­sion that can be re­solved only through ad­e­quate uni­fi­ca­tion with the ex­pe­ri­en­tial per­son­al­ity re­al­i­ties of ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity.

56:6.2The per­son­al­ity re­al­i­ties of the Su­preme Be­ing come forth from the Par­a­dise De­i­ties and on the pi­lot world of the outer Ha­vona cir­cuit unify with the power pre­rog­a­tives of the Al­mighty Su­preme com­ing up from the Cre­ator di­vini­ties of the grand uni­verse. God the Su­preme as a per­son ex­isted in Ha­vona be­fore the cre­ation of the seven super­uni­verses, but he func­tioned only on spir­i­tual lev­els. The evo­lu­tion of the Al­mighty power of Su­prem­acy by di­verse di­vin­ity syn­the­sis in the evolv­ing uni­verses even­tu­ated in a new power pres­ence of De­ity which co-or­di­nated with the spir­i­tual per­son of the Su­preme in Ha­vona by means of the Su­preme Mind, which con­comi­tantly trans­lated from the po­ten­tial res­i­dent in the in­fi­nite mind of the In­fi­nite Spirit to the ac­tive func­tional mind of the Su­preme Be­ing.

56:6.3The ma­te­rial-minded crea­tures of the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds of the seven super­uni­verses can com­pre­hend De­ity unity only as it is evolv­ing in this power-per­son­al­ity syn­the­sis of the Su­preme Be­ing. On any level of ex­is­tence God can­not ex­ceed the con­cep­tual ca­pac­ity of the be­ings who live on such a level. Mor­tal man must, through the rec­og­ni­tion of truth, the ap­pre­ci­a­tion of beauty, and the wor­ship of good­ness, evolve the rec­og­ni­tion of a God of love and then pro­gress through as­cend­ing de­ity lev­els to the com­pre­hen­sion of the Su­preme. De­ity, hav­ing been thus grasped as uni­fied in power, can then be per­son­al­ized in spirit to crea­ture un­der­stand­ing and at­tain­ment.

56:6.4While as­cend­ing mor­tals achieve power com­pre­hen­sion of the Al­mighty on the cap­i­tals of the super­uni­verses and per­son­al­ity com­pre­hen­sion of the Su­preme on the outer cir­cuits of Ha­vona, they do not ac­tu­ally find the Su­preme Be­ing as they are des­tined to find the Par­a­dise De­i­ties. Even the fi­nal­i­ters, sixth-stage spir­its, have not found the Su­preme Be­ing, nor are they likely to un­til they have achieved sev­enth-stage-spirit sta­tus, and un­til the Su­preme has be­come ac­tu­ally func­tional in the ac­tiv­i­ties of the fu­ture outer uni­verses.

56:6.5But when as­cend­ers find the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther as the sev­enth level of God the Sev­en­fold, they have at­tained the per­son­al­ity of the First Per­son of all de­ity lev­els of per­sonal re­la­tion­ships with uni­verse crea­tures.
