cosmos-infinite

3 paragraphs · about 1 minute

Every paragraph the index cites under cosmos-infinite, once, in the order of the book. Beside each stand the entries that cite it.

104:4.26Par­a­dise is the cen­ter of the force-en­ergy ac­ti­va­tion of the cos­mos—the uni­verse po­si­tion of the First Source and Cen­ter, the cos­mic fo­cal point of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute, and the source of all en­ergy. Ex­is­ten­tially pres­ent within this tri­unity is the en­ergy po­ten­tial of the cos­mos-in­fi­nite, of which the grand uni­verse and the mas­ter uni­verse are only par­tial man­i­fes­ta­tions.

106:6.3If we as­sume a cos­mos-in­fi­nite—some il­lim­itable cos­mos on be­yond the mas­ter uni­verse—and if we con­ceive that the fi­nal de­vel­op­ments of the Ab­so­lute Trin­ity will take place out on such a super­ul­ti­mate stage of ac­tion, then it be­comes pos­si­ble to con­jec­ture that the com­pleted func­tion of the Trin­ity Ab­so­lute will achieve fi­nal ex­pres­sion in the cre­ations of in­fin­ity and will con­sum­mate the ab­so­lute ac­tu­al­iza­tion of all po­ten­tials. The in­te­gra­tion and as­so­ci­a­tion of ever-en­larg­ing seg­ments of re­al­ity will ap­proach ab­so­lute­ness of sta­tus pro­por­tional to the in­clu­sion of all re­al­ity within the seg­ments thus as­so­ci­ated.

115:3.1The ab­so­lute cos­mos is con­cep­tu­ally with­out limit; to de­fine the ex­tent and na­ture of this pri­mal re­al­ity is to place qual­i­fi­ca­tions upon in­fin­ity and to at­ten­u­ate the pure con­cept of eter­nity. The idea of the in­fi­nite-eter­nal, the eter­nal-in­fi­nite, is un­qual­i­fied in ex­tent and ab­so­lute in fact. There is no lan­guage in the past, pres­ent, or fu­ture of Uran­tia ad­e­quate to ex­press the re­al­ity of in­fin­ity or the in­fin­ity of re­al­ity. Man, a fi­nite crea­ture in an in­fi­nite cos­mos, must con­tent him­self with dis­torted re­flec­tions and at­ten­u­ated con­cep­tions of that lim­it­less, bound­less, never-be­gin­ning, never-end­ing ex­is­tence the com­pre­hen­sion of which is re­ally be­yond his abil­ity.
