absonitized beings 2 paragraphs

30:1.114These pa­pers do not—can­not—even be­gin to ex­haust the story of the liv­ing crea­tures, cre­ators, even­tu­a­tors, and still-oth­er­wise-ex­is­tent be­ings who live and wor­ship and serve in the swarm­ing uni­verses of time and in the cen­tral uni­verse of eter­nity. You mor­tals are per­sons; hence we can de­scribe be­ings who are per­son­al­ized, but how could an ab­soni­tized be­ing ever be ex­plained to you?

31:2.1Wher­ever and when­ever Grav­ity Mes­sen­gers are func­tion­ing, the fi­nal­i­ters are in com­mand. All Grav­ity Mes­sen­gers are un­der the ex­clu­sive ju­ris­dic­tion of Grand­fanda, and they are as­signed only to the pri­mary Corps of the Fi­nal­ity. They are in­valu­able to the fi­nal­i­ters even now, and they will be all-ser­vice­able in the eter­nal fu­ture. No other group of in­tel­li­gent crea­tures pos­sesses such a per­son­al­ized mes­sen­ger corps able to tran­scend time and space. Sim­i­lar types of mes­sen­ger-re­cord­ers at­tached to other fi­nal­i­ter corps are not per­son­al­ized; they are ab­soni­tized.

God the Ultimate may endow midsoniters with spirit of 1 paragraph

36:4.8The pur­pose of the mid­sonite crea­tures is not at pres­ent known, but it would ap­pear that these per­son­al­i­ties are for­gath­er­ing on the sev­enth fi­nal­i­ter world in prepa­ra­tion for some fu­ture even­tu­al­ity in uni­verse evo­lu­tion. Our in­quiries con­cern­ing the mid­sonite races are al­ways re­ferred to the fi­nal­i­ters, and al­ways do the fi­nal­i­ters de­cline to dis­cuss the des­tiny of their wards. Re­gard­less of our un­cer­tainty as to the fu­ture of the mid­soniters, we do know that ev­ery lo­cal uni­verse in Or­von­ton har­bors such an ac­cu­mu­lat­ing corps of these mys­te­ri­ous be­ings. It is the be­lief of the Mel­chiz­e­dek life car­ri­ers that their mid­sonite chil­dren will some day be en­dowed with the tran­scen­den­tal and eter­nal spirit of ab­sonity by God the Ul­ti­mate.

limit reached in 28,012th Master Architect 1 paragraph

31:9.10These seven groups of Mas­ter Ar­chi­tects to­tal 28,011 uni­verse plan­ners. On Par­a­dise there is a tra­di­tion that far back in eter­nity there was at­tempted the even­tu­a­tion of the 28,012th Mas­ter Ar­chi­tect, but that this be­ing failed to ab­soni­tize, ex­pe­ri­enc­ing per­son­al­ity seizure by the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute. It is pos­si­ble that the as­cend­ing se­ries of the Mas­ter Ar­chi­tects at­tained the limit of ab­sonity in the 28,011th Ar­chi­tect, and that the 28,012th at­tempt en­coun­tered the math­e­mat­i­cal level of the pres­ence of the Ab­so­lute. In other words, at the 28,012th even­tu­a­tion level the qual­ity of ab­sonity equiv­alated to the level of the Uni­ver­sal and at­tained the value of the Ab­so­lute.

neither infinity nor absoluteness 1 paragraph

30:1.92IV. EVEN­TU­ATED TRAN­SCEN­DEN­TAL BE­INGS. There is to be found on Par­a­dise a vast host of tran­scen­den­tal be­ings whose ori­gin is not or­di­nar­ily dis­closed to the uni­verses of time and space un­til they are set­tled in light and life. These Tran­scen­den­talers are nei­ther cre­ators nor crea­tures; they are the even­tu­ated chil­dren of di­vin­ity, ul­ti­macy, and eter­nity. These “even­tu­a­tors” are nei­ther fi­nite nor in­fi­nite—they are ab­so­nite; and ab­sonity is nei­ther in­fin­ity nor ab­so­lute­ness.

30:4.317. Par­a­dise Ar­rivals. On reach­ing Par­a­dise with res­i­den­tial sta­tus, you be­gin the pro­gres­sive course in di­vin­ity and ab­sonity. Your res­i­dence on Par­a­dise sig­ni­fies that you have found God, and that you are to be mus­tered into the Mor­tal Corps of the Fi­nal­ity. Of all the crea­tures of the grand uni­verse, only those who are Fa­ther fused are mus­tered into the Mor­tal Corps of the Fi­nal­ity. Only such in­di­vid­u­als take the fi­nal­i­ter oath. Other be­ings of Par­a­dise per­fec­tion or at­tain­ment may be tem­porar­ily at­tached to this fi­nal­ity corps, but they are not of eter­nal as­sign­ment to the un­known and un­re­vealed mis­sion of this ac­cu­mu­lat­ing host of the evo­lu­tion­ary and per­fected vet­er­ans of time and space.
