0:3.1To­tal, in­fi­nite re­al­ity is ex­is­ten­tial in seven phases and as seven co-or­di­nate Ab­so­lutes:

0:3.21. The First Source and Cen­ter.

0:3.32. The Sec­ond Source and Cen­ter.

0:3.43. The Third Source and Cen­ter.

0:3.54. The Isle of Par­a­dise.

0:3.65. The De­ity Ab­so­lute.

0:3.76. The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

0:3.87. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

• the three Absolutes › Unqualified Absolute unifies with Deity Absolute in Universal Absolute

0:3.186. The two Ab­so­lutes—Qual­i­fied and Un­qual­i­fied—are co-or­di­nated and uni­fied in and by the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

0:11.1When the com­bined thought of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the Eter­nal Son, func­tion­ing in the God of Ac­tion, con­sti­tuted the cre­ation of the di­vine and cen­tral uni­verse, the Fa­ther fol­lowed the ex­pres­sion of his thought into the word of his Son and the act of their Con­joint Ex­ec­u­tive by dif­fer­en­ti­at­ing his Ha­vona pres­ence from the po­ten­tials of in­fin­ity. And these undis­closed in­fin­ity po­ten­tials re­main space con­cealed in the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute and di­vinely en­shrouded in the De­ity Ab­so­lute, while these two be­come one in the func­tion­ing of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute, the un­re­vealed in­fin­ity-unity of the Par­a­dise Fa­ther.

0:11.2Both po­tency of cos­mic force and po­tency of spirit force are in pro­cess of pro­gres­sive rev­e­la­tion-re­al­iza­tion as the en­rich­ment of all re­al­ity is ef­fected by ex­pe­ri­en­tial growth and through the cor­re­la­tion of the ex­pe­ri­en­tial with the ex­is­ten­tial by the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute. By virtue of the equipois­ing pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute, the First Source and Cen­ter re­al­izes ex­ten­sion of ex­pe­ri­en­tial power, en­joys iden­ti­fi­ca­tion with his evo­lu­tion­ary crea­tures, and achieves ex­pan­sion of ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity on the lev­els of Su­prem­acy, Ul­ti­macy, and Ab­so­lute­ness.

• the three Absolutes › Unqualified Absolute unifies with Deity Absolute in Universal Absolute

0:11.3When it is not pos­si­ble fully to dis­tin­guish the De­ity Ab­so­lute from the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute, their sup­pos­edly com­bined func­tion or co-or­di­nated pres­ence is des­ig­nated the ac­tion of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

0:11.41. The De­ity Ab­so­lute seems to be the all-pow­er­ful ac­ti­va­tor, while the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute ap­pears to be the all-ef­fi­cient mech­a­nizer of the su­premely uni­fied and ul­ti­mately co-or­di­nated uni­verse of uni­verses, even uni­verses upon uni­verses, made, mak­ing, and yet to be made.

0:11.5The De­ity Ab­so­lute can­not, or at least does not, re­act to any uni­verse sit­u­a­tion in a sub­ab­so­lute man­ner. Ev­ery re­sponse of this Ab­so­lute to any given sit­u­a­tion ap­pears to be made in terms of the wel­fare of the whole cre­ation of things and be­ings, not only in its pres­ent state of ex­is­tence, but also in view of the in­fi­nite pos­si­bil­i­ties of all fu­ture eter­nity.

0:11.6The De­ity Ab­so­lute is that po­ten­tial which was seg­re­gated from to­tal, in­fi­nite re­al­ity by the free­will choice of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, and within which all di­vin­ity ac­tiv­i­ties—ex­is­ten­tial and ex­pe­ri­en­tial—take place. This is the Qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute in con­tradis­tinc­tion to the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute; but the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute is super­ad­di­tive to both in the en­com­pass­ment of all ab­so­lute po­ten­tial.

0:11.72. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is non­per­sonal, ex­tradi­vine, and un­de­i­fied. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is there­fore de­void of per­son­al­ity, di­vin­ity, and all cre­ator pre­rog­a­tives. Nei­ther fact nor truth, ex­pe­ri­ence nor rev­e­la­tion, phi­los­o­phy nor ab­sonity are able to pen­e­trate the na­ture and char­ac­ter of this Ab­so­lute with­out uni­verse qual­i­fi­ca­tion.

0:11.8Let it be made clear that the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is a pos­i­tive re­al­ity per­vad­ing the grand uni­verse and, ap­par­ently, ex­tend­ing with equal space pres­ence on out into the force ac­tiv­i­ties and pre­ma­te­rial evo­lu­tions of the stag­ger­ing stretches of the space re­gions be­yond the seven super­uni­verses. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is not a mere neg­a­tivism of philo­sophic con­cept pred­i­cated on the as­sump­tions of meta­phys­i­cal soph­ist­ries con­cern­ing the uni­ver­sal­ity, dom­i­nance, and pri­macy of the un­con­di­tioned and the un­qual­i­fied. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is a pos­i­tive uni­verse over­con­trol in in­fin­ity; this over­con­trol is space-force un­lim­ited but is def­i­nitely con­di­tioned by the pres­ence of life, mind, spirit, and per­son­al­ity, and is fur­ther con­di­tioned by the will-re­ac­tions and pur­pose­ful man­dates of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

0:11.9We are con­vinced that the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is not an un­dif­fer­en­ti­ated and all-per­vad­ing in­flu­ence com­pa­ra­ble ei­ther to the pan­the­is­tic con­cepts of meta­physics or to the some­time ether hy­poth­e­sis of sci­ence. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is force un­lim­ited and De­ity con­di­tioned, but we do not fully per­ceive the re­la­tion of this Ab­so­lute to the spirit re­al­i­ties of the uni­verses.

0:11.103. The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute, we log­i­cally de­duce, was in­ev­i­ta­ble in the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther’s ab­so­lute free­will act of dif­fer­en­ti­at­ing uni­verse re­al­i­ties into de­i­fied and un­de­i­fied—per­son­al­iz­able and non­per­son­al­iz­able—val­ues. The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute is the De­ity phe­nom­e­non in­dica­tive of the res­o­lu­tion of the ten­sion cre­ated by the free­will act of thus dif­fer­en­ti­at­ing uni­verse re­al­ity, and func­tions as the as­so­cia­tive co-or­di­na­tor of these sum to­tals of ex­is­ten­tial po­ten­tial­i­ties.

0:11.11The ten­sion-pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute sig­ni­fies the ad­just­ment of dif­fer­en­tial be­tween de­ity re­al­ity and un­de­i­fied re­al­ity in­her­ent in the sep­a­ra­tion of the dy­nam­ics of free­will di­vin­ity from the stat­ics of un­qual­i­fied in­fin­ity.

0:11.12Al­ways re­mem­ber: Po­ten­tial in­fin­ity is ab­so­lute and in­sep­a­ra­ble from eter­nity. Ac­tual in­fin­ity in time can never be any­thing but par­tial and must there­fore be non­ab­so­lute; nei­ther can in­fin­ity of ac­tual per­son­al­ity be ab­so­lute ex­cept in un­qual­i­fied De­ity. And it is the dif­fer­en­tial of in­fin­ity po­ten­tial in the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute and the De­ity Ab­so­lute that eter­nal­izes the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute, thereby mak­ing it cos­mi­cally pos­si­ble to have ma­te­rial uni­verses in space and spir­i­tu­ally pos­si­ble to have fi­nite per­son­al­i­ties in time.

0:11.13The fi­nite can co­ex­ist in the cos­mos along with the In­fi­nite only be­cause the as­so­cia­tive pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute so per­fectly equal­izes the ten­sions be­tween time and eter­nity, fin­ity and in­fin­ity, re­al­ity po­ten­tial and re­al­ity ac­tu­al­ity, Par­a­dise and space, man and God. As­so­cia­tively the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute con­sti­tutes the iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of the zone of pro­gress­ing evo­lu­tional re­al­ity ex­is­tent in the time-space, and in the tran­scended time-space, uni­verses of subin­fi­nite De­ity man­i­fes­ta­tion.

0:11.14The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute is the po­ten­tial of the static-dy­namic De­ity func­tion­ally re­al­iz­able on time-eter­nity lev­els as fi­nite-ab­so­lute val­ues and as pos­si­ble of ex­pe­ri­en­tial-ex­is­ten­tial ap­proach. This in­com­pre­hen­si­ble as­pect of De­ity may be static, po­ten­tial, and as­so­cia­tive but is not ex­pe­ri­en­tially cre­ative or evo­lu­tional as con­cerns the in­tel­li­gent per­son­al­i­ties now func­tion­ing in the mas­ter uni­verse.

• the three Absolutes › in infinity are ONE

0:11.15The Ab­so­lute. The two Ab­so­lutes—qual­i­fied and un­qual­i­fied—while so ap­par­ently di­ver­gent in func­tion as they may be ob­served by mind crea­tures, are per­fectly and di­vinely uni­fied in and by the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute. In the last anal­y­sis and in the fi­nal com­pre­hen­sion all three are one Ab­so­lute. On subin­fi­nite lev­els they are func­tion­ally dif­fer­en­ti­ated, but in in­fin­ity they are ONE.

0:11.16We never use the term the Ab­so­lute as a nega­tion of aught or as a de­nial of any­thing. Nei­ther do we re­gard the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute as self-de­ter­mi­na­tive, a sort of pan­the­is­tic and im­per­sonal De­ity. The Ab­so­lute, in all that per­tains to uni­verse per­son­al­ity, is strictly Trin­ity lim­ited and De­ity dom­i­nated.

• the three Absolutes › render predictions uncertain
• the three Absolutes › seem to supersede matter, mind, and spirit

4:1.8I am en­tirely com­pe­tent to trace out and to an­a­lyze the work­ing of all phe­nom­ena di­rectly re­sult­ing from the func­tion­ing of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, the Eter­nal Son, the In­fi­nite Spirit, and, to a large ex­tent, the Isle of Par­a­dise. My per­plex­ity is oc­ca­sioned by en­coun­ter­ing what ap­pears to be the per­for­mance of their mys­te­ri­ous co-or­di­nates, the three Ab­so­lutes of po­ten­tial­ity. These Ab­so­lutes seem to su­per­sede mat­ter, to tran­scend mind, and to super­vene spirit. I am con­stantly con­fused and of­ten per­plexed by my in­abil­ity to com­pre­hend these com­plex trans­ac­tions which I at­trib­ute to the pres­ences and per­for­mances of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute, the De­ity Ab­so­lute, and the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

4:1.9These Ab­so­lutes must be the not-fully-re­vealed pres­ences abroad in the uni­verse which, in the phe­nom­ena of space po­tency and in the func­tion of other super­ul­ti­mates, ren­der it im­pos­si­ble for physi­cists, philoso­phers, or even re­li­gion­ists to pre­dict with cer­tainty as to just how the pri­mor­dials of force, con­cept, or spirit will re­spond to de­mands made in a com­plex re­al­ity sit­u­a­tion in­volv­ing su­preme ad­just­ments and ul­ti­mate val­ues.

• the seven Absolutes › Father is personal cause of A.

5:0.2God has dis­tributed the in­fin­ity of his eter­nal na­ture through­out the ex­is­ten­tial re­al­i­ties of his six ab­so­lute co-or­di­nates, but he may, at any time, make di­rect per­sonal con­tact with any part or phase or kind of cre­ation through the agency of his preper­sonal frag­ments. And the eter­nal God has also re­served to him­self the pre­rog­a­tive of be­stow­ing per­son­al­ity upon the di­vine Cre­ators and the liv­ing crea­tures of the uni­verse of uni­verses, while he has fur­ther re­served the pre­rog­a­tive of main­tain­ing di­rect and pa­ren­tal con­tact with all these per­sonal be­ings through the per­son­al­ity cir­cuit.

• the three Absolutes › render predictions uncertain

15:8.9The far­ther out we go, the more cer­tainly we en­counter those vari­a­tional and un­pre­dictable phe­nom­ena which are so unerringly char­ac­ter­is­tic of the un­fath­omable pres­ence-per­for­mances of the Ab­so­lutes and the ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­i­ties. And these phe­nom­ena must be in­dica­tive of some uni­ver­sal over­con­trol of all things.

• the three Absolutes › 7 Master Spirits do not directly associate with

16:1.4As far as we can dis­cern, these Seven Spir­its are as­so­ci­ated with the di­vine ac­tiv­i­ties of the three eter­nal per­sons of De­ity; we de­tect no ev­i­dence of di­rect as­so­ci­a­tion with the func­tion­ing pres­ences of the three eter­nal phases of the Ab­so­lute. When as­so­ci­ated, the Mas­ter Spir­its rep­re­sent the Par­a­dise De­i­ties in what may be roughly con­ceived as the fi­nite do­main of ac­tion. It might em­brace much that is ul­ti­mate but not ab­so­lute.

• the three Absolutes › Unqualified Absolute unifies with Deity Absolute in Universal Absolute

56:1.2The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute up­holds the phys­i­cal uni­verse, while the De­ity Ab­so­lute mo­ti­vates the ex­qui­site over­con­trol of all ma­te­rial re­al­ity; and both Ab­so­lutes are func­tion­ally uni­fied by the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute. This co­he­sive cor­re­la­tion of the ma­te­rial uni­verse is best un­der­stood by all per­son­al­i­ties—ma­te­rial, mor­ontia, ab­so­nite, or spir­i­tual—by the ob­ser­va­tion of the grav­ity re­sponse of all bona fide ma­te­rial re­al­ity to the grav­ity cen­ter­ing on nether Par­a­dise.

• the seven Absolutes › Absolutes of Infinity
• the seven Absolutes › unified in Father

56:4.2Per­son­al­ity in­her­ently reaches out to unify all con­stituent re­al­i­ties. The in­fi­nite per­son­al­ity of the First Source and Cen­ter, the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, uni­fies all seven con­stituent Ab­so­lutes of In­fin­ity; and the per­son­al­ity of mor­tal man, be­ing an ex­clu­sive and di­rect be­stowal of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, like­wise pos­sesses the po­ten­tial of uni­fy­ing the con­stituent fac­tors of the mor­tal crea­ture. Such uni­fy­ing cre­ativ­ity of all crea­ture per­son­al­ity is a birth­mark of its high and ex­clu­sive source and is fur­ther ev­i­den­tial of its un­bro­ken con­tact with this same source through the per­son­al­ity cir­cuit, by means of which the per­son­al­ity of the crea­ture main­tains di­rect and sus­tain­ing con­tact with the Fa­ther of all per­son­al­ity on Par­a­dise.

• the three Absolutes › co-ordinated in Ultimate; 3 are 1 in Trinity
• the three Absolutes › Unqualified Absolute unifies with Deity Absolute in Universal Absolute

56:9.1The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute and the De­ity Ab­so­lute are uni­fied in the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute. The Ab­so­lutes are co-or­di­nated in the Ul­ti­mate, con­di­tioned in the Su­preme, and time-space mod­i­fied in God the Sev­en­fold. On subin­fi­nite lev­els there are three Ab­so­lutes, but in in­fin­ity they ap­pear to be one. On Par­a­dise there are three per­son­al­iza­tions of De­ity, but in the Trin­ity they are one.

• the three Absolutes › in infinity are ONE

56:9.8But be­yond subin­fi­nite lev­els the three Ab­so­lutes are one, and thereby is in­fin­ity De­ity-re­al­ized re­gard­less of whether any other or­der of ex­is­tence ever self-re­al­izes con­scious­ness of in­fin­ity.

• the seven Absolutes › infinite reality is existential as

104:3.5In these pa­pers to­tal re­al­ity (in­fin­ity) has been pre­sented as it ex­ists in the seven Ab­so­lutes:

104:3.61. The Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

104:3.72. The Eter­nal Son.

104:3.83. The In­fi­nite Spirit.

104:3.94. The Isle of Par­a­dise.

104:3.105. The De­ity Ab­so­lute.

104:3.116. The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

104:3.127. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

• the seven Absolutes › encompass circle of infinity

104:3.13The First Source and Cen­ter, who is Fa­ther to the Eter­nal Son, is also Pat­tern to the Par­a­dise Isle. He is per­son­al­ity un­qual­i­fied in the Son but per­son­al­ity po­ten­tial­ized in the De­ity Ab­so­lute. The Fa­ther is en­ergy re­vealed in Par­a­dise-Ha­vona and at the same time en­ergy con­cealed in the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute. The In­fi­nite is ever dis­closed in the cease­less acts of the Con­joint Ac­tor while he is eter­nally func­tion­ing in the com­pen­sat­ing but en­shrouded ac­tiv­i­ties of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute. Thus is the Fa­ther re­lated to the six co-or­di­nate Ab­so­lutes, and thus do all seven en­com­pass the cir­cle of in­fin­ity through­out the end­less cy­cles of eter­nity.

• the seven Absolutes › Father is personal cause of A.

104:4.1In at­tempt­ing the de­scrip­tion of seven tri­uni­ties, at­ten­tion is di­rected to the fact that the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther is the pri­mal mem­ber of each. He is, was, and ever will be: the First Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther-Source, Ab­so­lute Cen­ter, Pri­mal Cause, Uni­ver­sal Con­trol­ler, Lim­it­less En­er­gizer, Orig­i­nal Unity, Un­qual­i­fied Up­holder, First Per­son of De­ity, Pri­mal Cos­mic Pat­tern, and Essence of In­fin­ity. The Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther is the per­sonal cause of the Ab­so­lutes; he is the ab­so­lute of Ab­so­lutes.

• the seven Absolutes › triunities are unifications of

104:4.46The tri­uni­ties are the func­tional bal­ance wheel of in­fin­ity, the uni­fi­ca­tion of the unique­ness of the Seven In­fin­ity Ab­so­lutes. It is the ex­is­ten­tial pres­ence of the tri­uni­ties that en­ables the Fa­ther-I AM to ex­pe­ri­ence func­tional in­fin­ity unity de­spite the di­ver­si­fi­ca­tion of in­fin­ity into seven Ab­so­lutes. The First Source and Cen­ter is the uni­fy­ing mem­ber of all tri­uni­ties; in him all things have their un­qual­i­fied be­gin­nings, eter­nal ex­is­tences, and in­fi­nite des­tinies—“in him all things con­sist.”

• of actuality › comprised of Son, Spirit, and Paradise

104:5.2The Tri­odity of Ac­tu­al­ity. This tri­odity con­sists in the in­ter­re­la­tion­ship of the three ab­so­lute ac­tu­als:

• the seven Absolutes › eternal; all changes except

105:2.1In con­sid­er­ing the gen­e­sis of re­al­ity, ever bear in mind that all ab­so­lute re­al­ity is from eter­nity and is with­out be­gin­ning of ex­is­tence. By ab­so­lute re­al­ity we re­fer to the three ex­is­ten­tial per­sons of De­ity, the Isle of Par­a­dise, and the three Ab­so­lutes. These seven re­al­i­ties are co-or­di­nately eter­nal, not­with­stand­ing that we re­sort to time-space lan­guage in pre­sent­ing their se­quen­tial ori­gins to hu­man be­ings.

• the seven Absolutes › relation to I AM

105:2.4By these in­ter­nal meta­mor­phoses the I AM is es­tab­lish­ing the ba­sis for a sev­en­fold self-re­la­tion­ship. The philo­sophic (time) con­cept of the soli­tary I AM and the tran­si­tional (time) con­cept of the I AM as tri­une can now be en­larged to en­com­pass the I AM as sev­en­fold. This sev­en­fold—or seven phase—na­ture may be best sug­gested in re­la­tion to the Seven Ab­so­lutes of In­fin­ity:

105:2.51. The Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. I AM fa­ther of the Eter­nal Son. This is the pri­mal per­son­al­ity re­la­tion­ship of ac­tu­al­i­ties. The ab­so­lute per­son­al­ity of the Son makes ab­so­lute the fact of God’s fa­ther­hood and es­tab­lishes the po­ten­tial son­ship of all per­son­al­i­ties. This re­la­tion­ship es­tab­lishes the per­son­al­ity of the In­fi­nite and con­sum­mates its spir­i­tual rev­e­la­tion in the per­son­al­ity of the Orig­i­nal Son. This phase of the I AM is par­tially ex­pe­ri­en­ci­ble on spir­i­tual lev­els even by mor­tals who, while yet in the flesh, may wor­ship our Fa­ther.

105:2.62. The Uni­ver­sal Con­trol­ler. I AM cause of eter­nal Par­a­dise. This is the pri­mal im­per­sonal re­la­tion­ship of ac­tu­al­i­ties, the orig­i­nal non­spir­i­tual as­so­ci­a­tion. The Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther is God-as-love; the Uni­ver­sal Con­trol­ler is God-as-pat­tern. This re­la­tion­ship es­tab­lishes the po­ten­tial of form—con­fig­u­ra­tion—and de­ter­mines the mas­ter pat­tern of im­per­sonal and non­spir­i­tual re­la­tion­ship—the mas­ter pat­tern from which all copies are made.

105:2.73. The Uni­ver­sal Cre­ator. I AM one with the Eter­nal Son. This union of the Fa­ther and the Son (in the pres­ence of Par­a­dise) ini­ti­ates the cre­ative cy­cle, which is con­sum­mated in the ap­pear­ance of con­joint per­son­al­ity and the eter­nal uni­verse. From the fi­nite mor­tal’s view­point, re­al­ity has its true be­gin­nings with the eter­nity ap­pear­ance of the Ha­vona cre­ation. This cre­ative act of De­ity is by and through the God of Ac­tion, who is in essence the unity of the Fa­ther-Son man­i­fested on and to all lev­els of the ac­tual. There­fore is di­vine cre­ativ­ity un­fail­ingly char­ac­ter­ized by unity, and this unity is the out­ward re­flec­tion of the ab­so­lute one­ness of the du­al­ity of the Fa­ther-Son and of the Trin­ity of the Fa­ther-Son-Spirit.

105:2.84. The In­fi­nite Up­holder. I AM self-as­so­cia­tive. This is the pri­mor­dial as­so­ci­a­tion of the stat­ics and po­ten­tials of re­al­ity. In this re­la­tion­ship, all qual­i­fieds and un­qual­i­fieds are com­pen­sated. This phase of the I AM is best un­der­stood as the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute—the uni­fier of the De­ity and the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lutes.

105:2.95. The In­fi­nite Po­ten­tial. I AM self-qual­i­fied. This is the in­fin­ity bench mark bear­ing eter­nal wit­ness to the vo­li­tional self-lim­i­ta­tion of the I AM by virtue of which there was achieved three­fold self-ex­pres­sion and self-rev­e­la­tion. This phase of the I AM is usu­ally un­der­stood as the De­ity Ab­so­lute.

105:2.106. The In­fi­nite Ca­pac­ity. I AM static-re­ac­tive. This is the end­less ma­trix, the pos­si­bil­ity for all fu­ture cos­mic ex­pan­sion. This phase of the I AM is per­haps best con­ceived as the super­grav­ity pres­ence of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

105:2.117. The Uni­ver­sal One of In­fin­ity. I AM as I AM. This is the sta­sis or self-re­la­tion­ship of In­fin­ity, the eter­nal fact of in­fin­ity-re­al­ity and the uni­ver­sal truth of re­al­ity-in­fin­ity. In so far as this re­la­tion­ship is dis­cern­i­ble as per­son­al­ity, it is re­vealed to the uni­verses in the di­vine Fa­ther of all per­son­al­ity—even of ab­so­lute per­son­al­ity. In so far as this re­la­tion­ship is im­per­son­ally ex­press­ible, it is con­tacted by the uni­verse as the ab­so­lute co­her­ence of pure en­ergy and of pure spirit in the pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. In so far as this re­la­tion­ship is con­ceiv­able as an ab­so­lute, it is re­vealed in the pri­macy of the First Source and Cen­ter; in him we all live and move and have our be­ing, from the crea­tures of space to the cit­i­zens of Par­a­dise; and this is just as true of the mas­ter uni­verse as of the in­finites­i­mal ul­ti­ma­ton, just as true of what is to be as of that which is and of what has been.

• the seven Absolutes › eternal; all changes except

105:3.1The seven prime re­la­tion­ships within the I AM eter­nal­ize as the Seven Ab­so­lutes of In­fin­ity. But though we may por­tray re­al­ity ori­gins and in­fin­ity dif­fer­en­ti­a­tion by a se­quen­tial nar­ra­tive, in fact all seven Ab­so­lutes are un­qual­i­fiedly and co-or­di­nately eter­nal. It may be nec­es­sary for mor­tal minds to con­ceive of their be­gin­nings, but al­ways should this con­cep­tion be over­shad­owed by the re­al­iza­tion that the seven Ab­so­lutes had no be­gin­ning; they are eter­nal and as such have al­ways been. The seven Ab­so­lutes are the premise of re­al­ity. They have been de­scribed in these pa­pers as fol­lows:

105:3.21. The First Source and Cen­ter. First Per­son of De­ity and pri­mal non­de­ity pat­tern, God, the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, cre­ator, con­trol­ler, and up­holder; uni­ver­sal love, eter­nal spirit, and in­fi­nite en­ergy; po­ten­tial of all po­ten­tials and source of all ac­tu­als; sta­bil­ity of all stat­ics and dy­namism of all change; source of pat­tern and Fa­ther of per­sons. Col­lec­tively, all seven Ab­so­lutes equiv­alate to in­fin­ity, but the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther him­self ac­tu­ally is in­fi­nite.

105:3.32. The Sec­ond Source and Cen­ter. Sec­ond Per­son of De­ity, the Eter­nal and Orig­i­nal Son; the ab­so­lute per­son­al­ity re­al­i­ties of the I AM and the ba­sis for the re­al­iza­tion-rev­e­la­tion of “I AM per­son­al­ity.” No per­son­al­ity can hope to at­tain the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther ex­cept through his Eter­nal Son; nei­ther can per­son­al­ity at­tain to spirit lev­els of ex­is­tence apart from the ac­tion and aid of this ab­so­lute pat­tern for all per­son­al­i­ties. In the Sec­ond Source and Cen­ter spirit is un­qual­i­fied while per­son­al­ity is ab­so­lute.

105:3.43. The Par­a­dise Source and Cen­ter. Sec­ond non­de­ity pat­tern, the eter­nal Isle of Par­a­dise; the ba­sis for the re­al­iza­tion-rev­e­la­tion of “I AM force” and the foun­da­tion for the es­tab­lish­ment of grav­ity con­trol through­out the uni­verses. Re­gard­ing all ac­tu­al­ized, non­spir­i­tual, im­per­sonal, and non­vo­li­tional re­al­ity, Par­a­dise is the ab­so­lute of pat­terns. Just as spirit en­ergy is re­lated to the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther through the ab­so­lute per­son­al­ity of the Mother-Son, so is all cos­mic en­ergy grasped in the grav­ity con­trol of the First Source and Cen­ter through the ab­so­lute pat­tern of the Par­a­dise Isle. Par­a­dise is not in space; space ex­ists rel­a­tive to Par­a­dise, and the chronic­ity of mo­tion is de­ter­mined through Par­a­dise re­la­tion­ship. The eter­nal Isle is ab­so­lutely at rest; all other or­ga­nized and or­ga­niz­ing en­ergy is in eter­nal mo­tion; in all space, only the pres­ence of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is qui­es­cent, and the Un­qual­i­fied is co-or­di­nate with Par­a­dise. Par­a­dise ex­ists at the fo­cus of space, the Un­qual­i­fied per­vades it, and all rel­a­tive ex­is­tence has its be­ing within this do­main.

105:3.54. The Third Source and Cen­ter. Third Per­son of De­ity, the Con­joint Ac­tor; in­fi­nite in­te­gra­tor of Par­a­dise cos­mic en­er­gies with the spirit en­er­gies of the Eter­nal Son; per­fect co-or­di­na­tor of the mo­tives of will and the me­chan­ics of force; uni­fier of all ac­tual and ac­tu­al­iz­ing re­al­ity. Through the min­is­tra­tions of his man­i­fold chil­dren the In­fi­nite Spirit re­veals the mercy of the Eter­nal Son while at the same time func­tion­ing as the in­fi­nite ma­nip­u­la­tor, for­ever weav­ing the pat­tern of Par­a­dise into the en­er­gies of space. This self­same Con­joint Ac­tor, this God of Ac­tion, is the per­fect ex­pres­sion of the lim­it­less plans and pur­poses of the Fa­ther-Son while func­tion­ing him­self as the source of mind and the be­stower of in­tel­lect upon the crea­tures of a far-flung cos­mos.

105:3.65. The De­ity Ab­so­lute. The cau­sa­tional, po­ten­tially per­sonal pos­si­bil­i­ties of uni­ver­sal re­al­ity, the to­tal­ity of all De­ity po­ten­tial. The De­ity Ab­so­lute is the pur­po­sive qual­i­fier of the un­qual­i­fied, ab­so­lute, and non­de­ity re­al­i­ties. The De­ity Ab­so­lute is the qual­i­fier of the ab­so­lute and the ab­so­l­u­tizer of the qual­i­fied—the des­tiny in­cep­tor.

105:3.76. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute. Static, re­ac­tive, and abeyant; the un­re­vealed cos­mic in­fin­ity of the I AM; to­tal­ity of non­de­i­fied re­al­ity and fi­nal­ity of all non­per­sonal po­ten­tial. Space lim­its the func­tion of the Un­qual­i­fied, but the pres­ence of the Un­qual­i­fied is with­out limit, in­fi­nite. There is a con­cept pe­riph­ery to the mas­ter uni­verse, but the pres­ence of the Un­qual­i­fied is lim­it­less; even eter­nity can­not ex­haust the bound­less qui­es­cence of this non­de­ity Ab­so­lute.

105:3.87. The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute. Uni­fier of the de­i­fied and the un­de­i­fied; cor­re­la­tor of the ab­so­lute and the rel­a­tive. The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute (be­ing static, po­ten­tial, and as­so­cia­tive) com­pen­sates the ten­sion be­tween the ever-ex­is­tent and the un­com­pleted.

105:3.9The Seven Ab­so­lutes of In­fin­ity con­sti­tute the be­gin­nings of re­al­ity. As mor­tal minds would re­gard it, the First Source and Cen­ter would ap­pear to be an­te­ced­ent to all ab­so­lutes. But such a pos­tu­late, how­ever help­ful, is in­val­i­dated by the eter­nity co­ex­is­tence of the Son, the Spirit, the three Ab­so­lutes, and the Par­a­dise Isle.

105:3.10It is a truth that the Ab­so­lutes are man­i­fes­ta­tions of the I AM-First Source and Cen­ter; it is a fact that these Ab­so­lutes never had a be­gin­ning but are co-or­di­nate eter­nals with the First Source and Cen­ter. The re­la­tion­ships of ab­so­lutes in eter­nity can­not al­ways be pre­sented with­out in­volv­ing para­doxes in the lan­guage of time and in the con­cept pat­terns of space. But re­gard­less of any con­fu­sion con­cern­ing the ori­gin of the Seven Ab­so­lutes of In­fin­ity, it is both fact and truth that all re­al­ity is pred­i­cated upon their eter­nity ex­is­tence and in­fin­ity re­la­tion­ships.

• the seven Absolutes › eternalize foundations for all reality

105:4.2The self-rev­e­la­tion of the I AM thus pro­ceeds from static self through self-seg­men­ta­tion and self-re­la­tion­ship to ab­so­lute re­la­tion­ships, re­la­tion­ships with self-de­rived Ab­so­lutes. Du­al­ity be­comes thus ex­is­tent in the eter­nal as­so­ci­a­tion of the Seven Ab­so­lutes of In­fin­ity with the sev­en­fold in­fin­ity of the self-seg­mented phases of the self-re­veal­ing I AM. These dual re­la­tion­ships, eter­nal­iz­ing to the uni­verses as the seven Ab­so­lutes, eter­nal­ize the ba­sic foun­da­tions for all uni­verse re­al­ity.

• the seven Absolutes › Father, Son, Spirit, Paradise, Deity Absolute, Unqualified Absolute, Universal Absolute

106:0.86. Ab­so­lutes. This level con­notes the eter­nity pres­ence of the seven ex­is­ten­tial Ab­so­lutes. It may also in­volve some de­gree of as­so­cia­tive ex­pe­ri­en­tial at­tain­ment, but if so, we do not un­der­stand how, per­haps through the con­tact po­ten­tial of per­son­al­ity.

• the seven Absolutes › not experiencible

106:2.7God the Su­preme is ex­pe­ri­en­tial; there­fore is he com­pletely ex­pe­ri­en­ci­ble. The ex­is­ten­tial re­al­i­ties of the seven Ab­so­lutes are not per­ceiv­able by the tech­nique of ex­pe­ri­ence; only the per­son­al­ity re­al­i­ties of the Fa­ther, Son, and Spirit can be grasped by the per­son­al­ity of the fi­nite crea­ture in the prayer-wor­ship at­ti­tude.

• the three Absolutes › union constitutes latency of I AM

106:7.9The im­prob­a­bil­ity of in­fi­nite des­tiny at­tain­ment does not in the least pre­vent the en­ter­tain­ment of ideas about such des­tiny, and we do not hes­i­tate to say that, if the three ab­so­lute po­ten­tials could ever be­come com­pletely ac­tu­al­ized, it would be pos­si­ble to con­ceive of the fi­nal in­te­gra­tion of to­tal re­al­ity. This de­vel­op­men­tal re­al­iza­tion is pred­i­cated on the com­pleted ac­tu­al­iza­tion of the Un­qual­i­fied, Uni­ver­sal, and De­ity Ab­so­lutes, the three po­ten­tial­i­ties whose union con­sti­tutes the la­tency of the I AM, the sus­pended re­al­i­ties of eter­nity, the abeyant pos­si­bil­i­ties of all fu­tu­rity, and more.

• the three Absolutes › unified realization of all infinite potentials

106:8.17The con­cept dif­fi­culty re­gard­ing this third mem­ber is in­her­ent in the fact that the pre­sup­po­si­tion of such a mem­ber­ship re­ally im­plies just one Ab­so­lute. The­o­ret­i­cally, if such an event could take place, we should wit­ness the ex­pe­ri­en­tial uni­fi­ca­tion of the three Ab­so­lutes as one. And we are taught that, in in­fin­ity and ex­is­ten­tially, there is one Ab­so­lute. While it is least clear as to who this third mem­ber can be, it is of­ten pos­tu­lated that such may con­sist of the De­ity, Uni­ver­sal, and Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lutes in some form of unimag­ined li­ai­son and cos­mic man­i­fes­ta­tion. Cer­tainly, the Trin­ity of Trin­i­ties could hardly at­tain to com­plete func­tion short of the full uni­fi­ca­tion of the three Ab­so­lutes, and the three Ab­so­lutes can hardly be uni­fied short of the com­plete re­al­iza­tion of all in­fi­nite po­ten­tials.

• the seven Absolutes › infinite reality is existential as

115:2.1From the ex­is­ten­tial stand­point, noth­ing new can hap­pen through­out the galax­ies, for the com­ple­tion of in­fin­ity in­her­ent in the I AM is eter­nally pres­ent in the seven Ab­so­lutes, is func­tion­ally as­so­ci­ated in the tri­uni­ties, and is trans­mi­tively as­so­ci­ated in the tri­odi­ties. But the fact that in­fin­ity is thus ex­is­ten­tially pres­ent in these ab­so­lute as­so­ci­a­tions in no way makes it im­pos­si­ble to re­al­ize new cos­mic ex­pe­ri­en­tials. From a fi­nite crea­ture’s view­point, in­fin­ity con­tains much that is po­ten­tial, much that is on the or­der of a fu­ture pos­si­bil­ity rather than a pres­ent ac­tu­al­ity.

• of actuality › triodity of actuality

115:3.72. The Ac­tual. The union of the three Ab­so­lutes of ac­tu­al­ity, the Sec­ond, Third, and Par­a­dise Sources and Cen­ters. This tri­odity of the Eter­nal Son, the In­fi­nite Spirit, and the Par­a­dise Isle con­sti­tutes the ac­tual rev­e­la­tion of the orig­i­nal­ity of the First Source and Cen­ter.

• the three Absolutes › triodity of potentiality

115:3.83. The Po­ten­tial. The union of the three Ab­so­lutes of po­ten­tial­ity, the De­ity, Un­qual­i­fied, and Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lutes. This tri­odity of ex­is­ten­tial po­ten­tial­ity con­sti­tutes the po­ten­tial rev­e­la­tion of the orig­i­nal­ity of the First Source and Cen­ter.

• of actuality › that which was and is

115:3.11From the time view­point, the Ac­tual is that which was and is; the Po­ten­tial is that which is be­com­ing and will be; the Orig­i­nal is that which is. From the eter­nity view­point, the dif­fer­ences be­tween the Orig­i­nal, the Ac­tual, and the Po­ten­tial are not thus ap­par­ent. These tri­une qual­i­ties are not so dis­tin­guished on Par­a­dise-eter­nity lev­els. In eter­nity all is—only has all not yet been re­vealed in time and space.

• the three Absolutes › manifest with the Ultimate, upon the Supreme
• the three Absolutes › never function as such on subabsolute levels

115:3.13The three Ab­so­lutes of po­ten­tial­ity are op­er­a­tive on the purely eter­nal level of the cos­mos, hence never func­tion as such on sub­ab­so­lute lev­els. On the de­scend­ing lev­els of re­al­ity the tri­odity of po­ten­tial­ity is man­i­fest with the Ul­ti­mate and upon the Su­preme. The po­ten­tial may fail to time-ac­tu­al­ize with re­spect to a part on some sub­ab­so­lute level, but never in the ag­gre­gate. The will of God does ul­ti­mately pre­vail, not al­ways con­cern­ing the in­di­vid­ual but in­vari­ably con­cern­ing the to­tal.

• of actuality › comprised of Son, Spirit, and Paradise
• of actuality › existents of cosmos center in

115:3.14It is in the tri­odity of ac­tu­al­ity that the ex­is­tents of the cos­mos have their cen­ter; be it spirit, mind, or en­ergy, all cen­ter in this as­so­ci­a­tion of the Son, the Spirit, and Par­a­dise. The per­son­al­ity of the spirit Son is the mas­ter pat­tern for all per­son­al­ity through­out all uni­verses. The sub­stance of the Par­a­dise Isle is the mas­ter pat­tern of which Ha­vona is a per­fect, and the super­uni­verses are a per­fect­ing, rev­e­la­tion. The Con­joint Ac­tor is at one and the same time the mind ac­ti­va­tion of cos­mic en­ergy, the con­cep­tu­al­iza­tion of spirit pur­pose, and the in­te­gra­tion of the math­e­mat­i­cal causes and ef­fects of the ma­te­rial lev­els with the vo­li­tional pur­poses and mo­tives of the spir­i­tual level. In and to a fi­nite uni­verse the Son, Spirit, and Par­a­dise func­tion in and upon the Ul­ti­mate as he is con­di­tioned and qual­i­fied in the Su­preme.

• the seven Absolutes › eternal; all changes except

130:4.2The source of uni­verse re­al­ity is the In­fi­nite. The ma­te­rial things of fi­nite cre­ation are the time-space reper­cus­sions of the Par­a­dise Pat­tern and the Uni­ver­sal Mind of the eter­nal God. Cau­sa­tion in the phys­i­cal world, self-con­scious­ness in the in­tel­lec­tual world, and pro­gress­ing self­hood in the spirit world—these re­al­i­ties, pro­jected on a uni­ver­sal scale, com­bined in eter­nal re­lat­ed­ness, and ex­pe­ri­enced with per­fec­tion of qual­ity and di­vin­ity of value—con­sti­tute the re­al­ity of the Su­preme. But in an ever-chang­ing uni­verse the Orig­i­nal Per­son­al­ity of cau­sa­tion, in­tel­li­gence, and spirit ex­pe­ri­ence is change­less, ab­so­lute. All things, even in an eter­nal uni­verse of lim­it­less val­ues and di­vine qual­i­ties, may, and of­ten­times do, change ex­cept the Ab­so­lutes and that which has at­tained the phys­i­cal sta­tus, in­tel­lec­tual em­brace, or spir­i­tual iden­tity which is ab­so­lute.
