Deity Absolute

43 paragraphs · about 13 minutes

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

0:2.187. God the Ab­so­lute—the ex­pe­ri­en­tial­iz­ing God of tran­scended super­per­sonal val­ues and di­vin­ity mean­ings, now ex­is­ten­tial as the De­ity Ab­so­lute. This is the third level of uni­fy­ing De­ity ex­pres­sion and ex­pan­sion. On this super­cre­ative level, De­ity ex­pe­ri­ences ex­haus­tion of per­son­al­iz­able po­ten­tial, en­coun­ters com­ple­tion of di­vin­ity, and un­der­goes de­ple­tion of ca­pac­ity for self-rev­e­la­tion to suc­ces­sive and pro­gres­sive lev­els of other-per­son­al­iza­tion. De­ity now en­coun­ters, im­pinges upon, and ex­pe­ri­ences iden­tity with, the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

0:3.164. The un­lim­ited ca­pac­ity for de­ity ac­tion re­sides in the De­ity Ab­so­lute.

0:3.175. The un­lim­ited ca­pac­ity for in­fin­ity re­sponse ex­ists in the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

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

0:4.5This is the pri­mal con­cept of orig­i­nal re­al­ity: The Fa­ther ini­ti­ates and main­tains Re­al­ity. The pri­mal dif­fer­en­tials of re­al­ity are the de­i­fied and the un­de­i­fied—the De­ity Ab­so­lute and the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute. The pri­mal re­la­tion­ship is the ten­sion be­tween them. This Fa­ther-ini­ti­ated di­vin­ity-ten­sion is per­fectly re­solved by, and eter­nal­izes as, the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

0:7.5The Fa­ther, Son, and Spirit are ex­is­ten­tial—ex­is­ten­tial in ac­tu­al­ity (though all po­ten­tials are sup­pos­edly ex­pe­ri­en­tial). The Su­preme and the Ul­ti­mate are wholly ex­pe­ri­en­tial. The De­ity Ab­so­lute is ex­pe­ri­en­tial in ac­tu­al­iza­tion but ex­is­ten­tial in po­ten­tial­ity. The essence of De­ity is eter­nal, but only the three orig­i­nal per­sons of De­ity are un­qual­i­fiedly eter­nal. All other De­ity per­son­al­i­ties have an ori­gin, but they are eter­nal in des­tiny.

0:10.1There are many fea­tures of the eter­nal re­al­ity of the De­ity Ab­so­lute which can­not be fully ex­plained to the time-space fi­nite mind, but the ac­tu­al­iza­tion of God the Ab­so­lute would be in con­se­quence of the uni­fi­ca­tion of the sec­ond ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­ity, the Ab­so­lute Trin­ity. This would con­sti­tute the ex­pe­ri­en­tial re­al­iza­tion of ab­so­lute di­vin­ity, the uni­fi­ca­tion of ab­so­lute mean­ings on ab­so­lute lev­els; but we are not cer­tain re­gard­ing the en­com­pass­ment of all ab­so­lute val­ues since we have at no time been in­formed that the Qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is the equiv­a­lent of the In­fi­nite. Super­ul­ti­mate des­tinies are in­volved in ab­so­lute mean­ings and in­fi­nite spir­i­tu­al­ity, and with­out both of these un­achieved re­al­i­ties we can­not es­tab­lish ab­so­lute val­ues.

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.

0:11.4 · one paragraph not cited here ·

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.

0:12.72. The Ab­so­lute Trin­ity—the sec­ond ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­ity—now in pro­cess of ac­tu­al­iza­tion, will con­sist of God the Su­preme, God the Ul­ti­mate, and the un­re­vealed Con­sum­ma­tor of Uni­verse Des­tiny. This Trin­ity func­tions on both per­sonal and super­per­sonal lev­els, even to the bor­ders of the non­per­sonal, and its uni­fi­ca­tion in uni­ver­sal­ity would ex­pe­ri­en­tial­ize Ab­so­lute De­ity.

6:5.2The Eter­nal Son does not per­son­ally per­vade the po­ten­tials of spirit in­her­ent in the in­fin­ity of the De­ity Ab­so­lute, but as these po­ten­tials be­come ac­tual, they come within the all-pow­er­ful grasp of the spirit-grav­ity cir­cuit of the Son.

7:1.9But along­side this very de­pend­able and pre­dictable func­tion of the spir­i­tual pres­ence of the Eter­nal Son, there are en­coun­tered phe­nom­ena which are not so pre­dictable in their re­ac­tions. Such phe­nom­ena prob­a­bly in­di­cate the co-or­di­nate ac­tion of the De­ity Ab­so­lute in the realms of emerg­ing spir­i­tual po­ten­tials. We know that the spirit pres­ence of the Eter­nal Son is the in­flu­ence of a ma­jes­tic and in­fi­nite per­son­al­ity, but we hardly re­gard the re­ac­tions as­so­ci­ated with the con­jec­tured per­for­mances of the De­ity Ab­so­lute as per­sonal.

7:1.10Viewed from the per­son­al­ity stand­point and by per­sons, the Eter­nal Son and the De­ity Ab­so­lute ap­pear to be re­lated in the fol­low­ing way: The Eter­nal Son dom­i­nates the realm of ac­tual spir­i­tual val­ues, whereas the De­ity Ab­so­lute seems to per­vade the vast do­main of po­ten­tial spirit val­ues. All ac­tual value of spirit na­ture finds lodg­ment in the grav­ity grasp of the Eter­nal Son but, if po­ten­tial, then ap­par­ently in the pres­ence of the De­ity Ab­so­lute.

7:1.11Spirit seems to emerge from the po­ten­tials of the De­ity Ab­so­lute; evolv­ing spirit finds cor­re­la­tion in the ex­pe­ri­en­tial and in­com­plete grasps of the Su­preme and the Ul­ti­mate; spirit even­tu­ally finds fi­nal des­tiny in the ab­so­lute grasp of the spir­i­tual grav­ity of the Eter­nal Son. This ap­pears to be the cy­cle of ex­pe­ri­en­tial spirit, but ex­is­ten­tial spirit is in­her­ent in the in­fin­ity of the Sec­ond Source and Cen­ter.

7:2.1On Par­a­dise the pres­ence and per­sonal ac­tiv­ity of the Orig­i­nal Son is pro­found, ab­so­lute in the spir­i­tual sense. As we pass out­ward from Par­a­dise through Ha­vona and into the realms of the seven super­uni­verses, we de­tect less and less of the per­sonal ac­tiv­ity of the Eter­nal Son. In the post-Ha­vona uni­verses the pres­ence of the Eter­nal Son is per­son­al­ized in the Par­a­dise Sons, con­di­tioned by the ex­pe­ri­en­tial re­al­i­ties of the Su­preme and the Ul­ti­mate, and co-or­di­nated with the un­lim­ited spirit po­ten­tial of the De­ity Ab­so­lute.

10:8.4While no sin­gle per­son of the Par­a­dise De­i­ties ac­tu­ally fills all De­ity po­ten­tial, col­lec­tively all three do. Three in­fi­nite per­sons seem to be the min­i­mum num­ber of be­ings re­quired to ac­ti­vate the preper­sonal and ex­is­ten­tial po­ten­tial of to­tal De­ity—the De­ity Ab­so­lute.

12:6.6All phases of pri­mor­dial force, nas­cent spirit, and other non­per­sonal ul­ti­mates ap­pear to re­act in ac­cor­dance with cer­tain rel­a­tively sta­ble but un­known laws and are char­ac­ter­ized by a lat­i­tude of per­for­mance and an elas­tic­ity of re­sponse which are of­ten dis­con­cert­ing when en­coun­tered in the phe­nom­ena of a cir­cum­scribed and iso­lated sit­u­a­tion. What is the ex­pla­na­tion of this un­pre­dictable free­dom of re­ac­tion dis­closed by these emerg­ing uni­verse ac­tu­al­i­ties? These un­known, un­fath­omable un­pre­dicta­bles—whether per­tain­ing to the be­hav­ior of a pri­mor­dial unit of force, the re­ac­tion of an uniden­ti­fied level of mind, or the phe­nom­e­non of a vast pre­uni­verse in the mak­ing in the do­mains of outer space—prob­a­bly dis­close the ac­tiv­i­ties of the Ul­ti­mate and the pres­ence-per­for­mances of the Ab­so­lutes, which an­te­date the func­tion of all uni­verse Cre­ators.

12:6.7We do not re­ally know, but we sur­mise that such amaz­ing ver­sa­til­ity and such pro­found co-or­di­na­tion sig­nify the pres­ence and per­for­mance of the Ab­so­lutes, and that such di­ver­sity of re­sponse in the face of ap­par­ently uni­form cau­sa­tion dis­closes the re­ac­tion of the Ab­so­lutes, not only to the im­me­di­ate and sit­u­a­tional cau­sa­tion, but also to all other re­lated cau­sa­tions through­out the en­tire mas­ter uni­verse.

17:2.2This mo­men­tous trans­ac­tion, oc­cur­ring in the dawn of time, rep­re­sents the ini­tial ef­fort of the Su­preme Cre­ator Per­son­al­i­ties, rep­re­sented by the Mas­ter Spir­its, to func­tion as cocre­ators with the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. This union of the cre­ative power of the Su­preme Cre­ators with the cre­ative po­ten­tials of the Trin­ity is the very source of the ac­tu­al­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. There­fore, when the cy­cle of re­flec­tive cre­ation had run its course, when each of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its had found per­fect cre­ative syn­chrony with the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, when the forty-ninth Re­flec­tive Spirit had per­son­al­ized, then a new and far-reach­ing re­ac­tion oc­curred in the De­ity Ab­so­lute which im­parted new per­son­al­ity pre­rog­a­tives to the Su­preme Be­ing and cul­mi­nated in the per­son­al­iza­tion of Maj­es­ton, the re­flec­tiv­ity chief and Par­a­dise cen­ter of all the work of the forty-nine Re­flec­tive Spir­its and their as­so­ciates through­out the uni­verse of uni­verses.

17:2.3Maj­es­ton is a true per­son, the per­sonal and in­fal­li­ble cen­ter of re­flec­tiv­ity phe­nom­ena in all seven super­uni­verses of time and space. He main­tains per­ma­nent Par­a­dise head­quar­ters near the cen­ter of all things at the ren­dezvous of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. He is con­cerned solely with the co-or­di­na­tion and main­te­nance of the re­flec­tiv­ity ser­vice in the far-flung cre­ation; he is not oth­er­wise in­volved in the ad­min­is­tra­tion of uni­verse af­fairs.

17:2.4Maj­es­ton is not in­cluded in our cat­a­logue of Par­a­dise per­son­al­i­ties be­cause he is the only ex­ist­ing per­son­al­ity of di­vin­ity cre­ated by the Su­preme Be­ing in func­tional li­ai­son with the De­ity Ab­so­lute. He is a per­son, but he is ex­clu­sively and ap­par­ently au­to­mat­i­cally con­cerned with this one phase of uni­verse econ­omy; he does not now func­tion in any per­sonal ca­pac­ity with re­la­tion to other (non­re­flec­tive) or­ders of uni­verse per­son­al­i­ties.

17:2.5The cre­ation of Maj­es­ton sig­nal­ized the first su­preme cre­ative act of the Su­preme Be­ing. This will to ac­tion was vo­li­tional in the Su­preme Be­ing, but the stu­pen­dous re­ac­tion of the De­ity Ab­so­lute was not fore­known. Not since the eter­nity-ap­pear­ance of Ha­vona had the uni­verse wit­nessed such a tremen­dous fac­tu­al­iza­tion of such a gi­gan­tic and far-flung align­ment of power and co-or­di­na­tion of func­tional spirit ac­tiv­i­ties. The De­ity re­sponse to the cre­ative wills of the Su­preme Be­ing and his as­so­ciates was vastly be­yond their pur­pose­ful in­tent and greatly in ex­cess of their con­cep­tual fore­casts.

17:2.6We stand in awe of the pos­si­bil­ity of what the fu­ture ages, wherein the Su­preme and the Ul­ti­mate may at­tain new lev­els of di­vin­ity and as­cend to new do­mains of per­son­al­ity func­tion, may wit­ness in the realms of the deiti­za­tion of still other un­ex­pected and un­dreamed of be­ings who will pos­sess unimag­ined pow­ers of en­hanced uni­verse co-or­di­na­tion. There would seem to be no limit to the De­ity Ab­so­lute’s po­ten­tial of re­sponse to such uni­fi­ca­tion of re­la­tion­ships be­tween ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity and the ex­is­ten­tial Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

19:4.7But this is not the end of our dif­fi­cul­ties re­gard­ing the work­ing of the minds of the Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors. Hav­ing made due al­lowances for all that we know or con­jec­ture about the func­tion­ing of a Cen­sor in any given uni­verse sit­u­a­tion, we find that we are still un­able to pre­dict de­ci­sions or to fore­cast ver­dicts. We very ac­cu­rately de­ter­mine the prob­a­ble re­sult of the as­so­ci­a­tion of Cre­ator at­ti­tude and crea­ture ex­pe­ri­ence, but such con­clu­sions are not al­ways ac­cu­rate fore­casts of Cen­sor dis­clo­sures. It seems likely that the Cen­sors are in some man­ner in li­ai­son with the De­ity Ab­so­lute; we are oth­er­wise un­able to ex­plain many of their de­ci­sions and rul­ings.

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.

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.

56:9.2 · one paragraph not cited here ·

56:9.2The ma­jor philo­sophic propo­si­tion of the mas­ter uni­verse is this: Did the Ab­so­lute (the three Ab­so­lutes as one in in­fin­ity) ex­ist be­fore the Trin­ity? and is the Ab­so­lute an­ces­tral to the Trin­ity? or is the Trin­ity an­te­ced­ent to the Ab­so­lute?

56:9.3Is the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute a force pres­ence in­de­pen­dent of the Trin­ity? Does the pres­ence of the De­ity Ab­so­lute con­note the un­lim­ited func­tion of the Trin­ity? and is the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute the fi­nal func­tion of the Trin­ity, even a Trin­ity of Trin­i­ties?

56:9.4 · one paragraph not cited here ·

56:9.4On first thought, a con­cept of the Ab­so­lute as an­ces­tor to all things—even the Trin­ity—seems to af­ford tran­si­tory sat­is­fac­tion of con­sis­tency grat­i­fi­ca­tion and philo­sophic uni­fi­ca­tion, but any such con­clu­sion is in­val­i­dated by the ac­tu­al­ity of the eter­nity of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. We are taught, and we be­lieve, that the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and his Trin­ity as­so­ciates are eter­nal in na­ture and ex­is­tence. There is, then, but one con­sis­tent philo­sophic con­clu­sion, and that is: The Ab­so­lute is, to all uni­verse in­tel­li­gences, the im­per­sonal and co-or­di­nate re­ac­tion of the Trin­ity (of Trin­i­ties) to all ba­sic and pri­mary space sit­u­a­tions, in­trau­ni­ver­sal and ex­tra­uni­ver­sal. To all per­son­al­ity in­tel­li­gences of the grand uni­verse the Par­a­dise Trin­ity for­ever stands in fi­nal­ity, eter­nity, su­prem­acy, and ul­ti­macy and, for all prac­ti­cal pur­poses of per­sonal com­pre­hen­sion and crea­ture re­al­iza­tion, as ab­so­lute.

56:9.5As crea­ture minds may view this prob­lem, they are led to the fi­nal pos­tu­late of the Uni­ver­sal I AM as the pri­mal cause and the un­qual­i­fied source of both the Trin­ity and the Ab­so­lute. When, there­fore, we crave to en­ter­tain a per­sonal con­cept of the Ab­so­lute, we re­vert to our ideas and ide­als of the Par­a­dise Fa­ther. When we de­sire to fa­cil­i­tate com­pre­hen­sion or to aug­ment con­scious­ness of this oth­er­wise im­per­sonal Ab­so­lute, we re­vert to the fact that the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther is the ex­is­ten­tial Fa­ther of ab­so­lute per­son­al­ity; the Eter­nal Son is the Ab­so­lute Per­son, though not, in the ex­pe­ri­en­tial sense, the per­son­al­iza­tion of the Ab­so­lute. And then we go on to en­vis­age the ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­i­ties as cul­mi­nat­ing in the ex­pe­ri­en­tial per­son­al­iza­tion of the De­ity Ab­so­lute, while con­ceiv­ing the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute as con­sti­tut­ing the uni­verse and the ex­trau­ni­verse phe­nom­ena of the man­i­fest pres­ence of the im­per­sonal ac­tiv­i­ties of the uni­fied and co-or­di­nated De­ity as­so­ci­a­tions of su­prem­acy, ul­ti­macy, and in­fin­ity—the Trin­ity of Trin­i­ties.

56:9.6 · one paragraph not cited here ·

56:9.6God the Fa­ther is dis­cern­i­ble on all lev­els from the fi­nite to the in­fi­nite, and though his crea­tures from Par­a­dise to the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds have var­i­ously per­ceived him, only the Eter­nal Son and the In­fi­nite Spirit know him as an in­fin­ity.

56:9.7Spir­i­tual per­son­al­ity is ab­so­lute only on Par­a­dise, and the con­cept of the Ab­so­lute is un­qual­i­fied only in in­fin­ity. De­ity pres­ence is ab­so­lute only on Par­a­dise, and the rev­e­la­tion of God must al­ways be par­tial, rel­a­tive, and pro­gres­sive un­til his power be­comes ex­pe­ri­en­tially in­fi­nite in the space po­tency of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute, while his per­son­al­ity man­i­fes­ta­tion be­comes ex­pe­ri­en­tially in­fi­nite in the man­i­fest pres­ence of the De­ity Ab­so­lute, and while these two po­ten­tials of in­fin­ity be­come re­al­ity-uni­fied in the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

104:4.16The Third Tri­unity—the spirit-evo­lu­tional tri­unity. The en­tirety of spir­i­tual man­i­fes­ta­tion has its be­gin­ning and end in this as­so­ci­a­tion, con­sist­ing of:

104:4.17–33 · 17 paragraphs not cited here ·

104:4.171. The Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

104:4.182. The Son-Spirit.

104:4.193. The De­ity Ab­so­lute.

104:4.20From spirit po­tency to Par­a­dise spirit, all spirit finds re­al­ity ex­pres­sion in this tri­une as­so­ci­a­tion of the pure spirit essence of the Fa­ther, the ac­tive spirit val­ues of the Son-Spirit, and the un­lim­ited spirit po­ten­tials of the De­ity Ab­so­lute. The ex­is­ten­tial val­ues of spirit have their pri­mor­dial gen­e­sis, com­plete man­i­fes­ta­tion, and fi­nal des­tiny in this tri­unity.

104:4.21The Fa­ther ex­ists be­fore spirit; the Son-Spirit func­tions as ac­tive cre­ative spirit; the De­ity Ab­so­lute ex­ists as all-en­com­pass­ing spirit, even be­yond spirit.

104:4.22The Fourth Tri­unity—the tri­unity of en­ergy in­fin­ity. Within this tri­unity there eter­nal­izes the be­gin­nings and the end­ings of all en­ergy re­al­ity, from space po­tency to monota. This group­ing em­braces the fol­low­ing:

104:4.231. The Fa­ther-Spirit.

104:4.242. The Par­a­dise Isle.

104:4.253. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

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.

104:4.27The fourth tri­unity ab­so­lutely con­trols the fun­da­men­tal units of cos­mic en­ergy and re­leases them from the grasp of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute in di­rect pro­por­tion to the ap­pear­ance in the ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­i­ties of sub­ab­so­lute ca­pac­ity to con­trol and sta­bi­lize the meta­mor­phos­ing cos­mos.

104:4.28This tri­unity is force and en­ergy. The end­less pos­si­bil­i­ties of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute are cen­tered around the ab­so­lu­tum of the Isle of Par­a­dise, whence em­anate the unimag­in­able ag­i­ta­tions of the oth­er­wise static qui­es­cence of the Un­qual­i­fied. And the end­less throb­bing of the ma­te­rial Par­a­dise heart of the in­fi­nite cos­mos beats in har­mony with the un­fath­omable pat­tern and the un­search­able plan of the In­fi­nite En­er­gizer, the First Source and Cen­ter.

104:4.29The Fifth Tri­unity—the tri­unity of re­ac­tive in­fin­ity. This as­so­ci­a­tion con­sists of:

104:4.301. The Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

104:4.312. The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

104:4.323. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

104:4.33This group­ing yields the eter­nal­iza­tion of the func­tional in­fin­ity re­al­iza­tion of all that is ac­tu­al­iz­able within the do­mains of non­de­ity re­al­ity. This tri­unity man­i­fests un­lim­ited re­ac­tive ca­pac­ity to the vo­li­tional, causative, ten­sional, and pat­ter­nal ac­tions and pres­ences of the other tri­uni­ties.

104:4.34The Sixth Tri­unity—the tri­unity of cos­mic-as­so­ci­ated De­ity. This group­ing con­sists of:

104:5.7The Tri­odity of Po­ten­tial­ity. This tri­odity con­sists in the as­so­ci­a­tion of the three Ab­so­lutes of po­ten­tial­ity:

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.

105:3.65. 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.

106:5.1The Ul­ti­mate is the apex of tran­scen­den­tal re­al­ity even as the Su­preme is the cap­stone of evo­lu­tion­ary-ex­pe­ri­en­tial re­al­ity. And the ac­tual emer­gence of these two ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­i­ties lays the foun­da­tion for the sec­ond ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­ity. This is the Trin­ity Ab­so­lute, the union of God the Su­preme, God the Ul­ti­mate, and the un­re­vealed Con­sum­ma­tor of Uni­verse Des­tiny. And this Trin­ity has the­o­ret­i­cal ca­pac­ity to ac­ti­vate the Ab­so­lutes of po­ten­tial­ity—De­ity, Uni­ver­sal, and Un­qual­i­fied. But the com­pleted for­ma­tion of this Trin­ity Ab­so­lute could take place only af­ter the com­pleted evo­lu­tion of the en­tire mas­ter uni­verse, from Ha­vona to the fourth and out­er­most space level.

106:7.3Des­tiny is es­tab­lished by the vo­li­tional act of the De­i­ties who con­sti­tute the Par­a­dise Trin­ity; des­tiny is es­tab­lished in the vast­ness of the three great po­ten­tials whose ab­so­lute­ness en­com­passes the pos­si­bil­i­ties of all fu­ture de­vel­op­ment; des­tiny is prob­a­bly con­sum­mated by the act of the Con­sum­ma­tor of Uni­verse Des­tiny, and this act is prob­a­bly in­volved with the Su­preme and the Ul­ti­mate in the Trin­ity Ab­so­lute. Any ex­pe­ri­en­tial des­tiny can be at least par­tially com­pre­hended by ex­pe­ri­enc­ing crea­tures; but a des­tiny which im­pinges on in­fi­nite ex­is­ten­tials is hardly com­pre­hen­si­ble. Fi­nal­ity des­tiny is an ex­is­ten­tial-ex­pe­ri­en­tial at­tain­ment which ap­pears to in­volve the De­ity Ab­so­lute. But the De­ity Ab­so­lute stands in eter­nity re­la­tion­ship with the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute by virtue of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute. And these three Ab­so­lutes, ex­pe­ri­en­tial in pos­si­bil­ity, are ac­tu­ally ex­is­ten­tial and more, be­ing lim­it­less, time­less, space­less, bound­less, and mea­sure­less—truly in­fi­nite.

106:7.4–8 · five paragraphs not cited here ·

106:7.4The im­prob­a­bil­ity of goal at­tain­ment does not, how­ever, pre­vent phil­o­soph­i­cal the­o­riz­ing about such hy­po­thet­i­cal des­tinies. The ac­tu­al­iza­tion of the De­ity Ab­so­lute as an at­tain­able ab­so­lute God may be prac­ti­cally im­pos­si­ble of re­al­iza­tion; nev­er­the­less, such a fi­nal­ity fruition re­mains a the­o­ret­i­cal pos­si­bil­ity. The in­volve­ment of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute in some in­con­ceiv­able cos­mos-in­fi­nite may be mea­sure­lessly re­mote in the fu­tu­rity of end­less eter­nity, but such a hy­poth­e­sis is nonethe­less valid. Mor­tals, mor­ontians, spir­its, fi­nal­i­ters, Tran­scen­den­talers, and oth­ers, to­gether with the uni­verses them­selves and all other phases of re­al­ity, cer­tainly do have a po­ten­tially fi­nal des­tiny that is ab­so­lute in value; but we doubt that any be­ing or uni­verse will ever com­pletely at­tain all of the as­pects of such a des­tiny.

106:7.5No mat­ter how much you may grow in Fa­ther com­pre­hen­sion, your mind will al­ways be stag­gered by the un­re­vealed in­fin­ity of the Fa­ther-I AM, the un­ex­plored vast­ness of which will al­ways re­main un­fath­omable and in­com­pre­hen­si­ble through­out all the cy­cles of eter­nity. No mat­ter how much of God you may at­tain, there will al­ways re­main much more of him, the ex­is­tence of which you will not even sus­pect. And we be­lieve that this is just as true on tran­scen­den­tal lev­els as it is in the do­mains of fi­nite ex­is­tence. The quest for God is end­less!

106:7.6Such in­abil­ity to at­tain God in a fi­nal sense should in no man­ner dis­cour­age uni­verse crea­tures; in­deed, you can and do at­tain De­ity lev­els of the Sev­en­fold, the Su­preme, and the Ul­ti­mate, which mean to you what the in­fi­nite re­al­iza­tion of God the Fa­ther means to the Eter­nal Son and to the Con­joint Ac­tor in their ab­so­lute sta­tus of eter­nity ex­is­tence. Far from ha­rass­ing the crea­ture, the in­fin­ity of God should be the su­preme as­sur­ance that through­out all end­less fu­tu­rity an as­cend­ing per­son­al­ity will have be­fore him the pos­si­bil­i­ties of per­son­al­ity de­vel­op­ment and De­ity as­so­ci­a­tion which even eter­nity will nei­ther ex­haust nor ter­mi­nate.

106:7.7To fi­nite crea­tures of the grand uni­verse the con­cept of the mas­ter uni­verse seems to be well-nigh in­fi­nite, but doubt­less the ab­so­nite ar­chi­tects thereof per­ceive its re­lat­ed­ness to fu­ture and unimag­ined de­vel­op­ments within the un­end­ing I AM. Even space it­self is but an ul­ti­mate con­di­tion, a con­di­tion of qual­i­fi­ca­tion within the rel­a­tive ab­so­lute­ness of the quiet zones of midspace.

106:7.8At the in­con­ceiv­ably dis­tant fu­ture eter­nity mo­ment of the fi­nal com­ple­tion of the en­tire mas­ter uni­verse, no doubt we will all look back upon its en­tire his­tory as only the be­gin­ning, sim­ply the cre­ation of cer­tain fi­nite and tran­scen­den­tal foun­da­tions for even greater and more en­thralling meta­mor­phoses in un­charted in­fin­ity. At such a fu­ture eter­nity mo­ment the mas­ter uni­verse will still seem youth­ful; in­deed, it will be al­ways young in the face of the lim­it­less pos­si­bil­i­ties of never-end­ing eter­nity.

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.

106:8.20The first level con­sists of three Trin­i­ties; the sec­ond level ex­ists as the per­son­al­ity as­so­ci­a­tion of ex­pe­ri­en­tial-evolved, ex­pe­ri­en­tial-even­tu­ated, and ex­pe­ri­en­tial-ex­is­ten­tial De­ity per­son­al­i­ties. And re­gard­less of any con­cep­tual dif­fi­culty in un­der­stand­ing the com­plete Trin­ity of Trin­i­ties, the per­sonal as­so­ci­a­tion of these three De­i­ties on the sec­ond level has be­come man­i­fest to our own uni­verse age in the phe­nom­e­non of the deiti­za­tion of Maj­es­ton, who was ac­tu­al­ized on this sec­ond level by the De­ity Ab­so­lute, act­ing through the Ul­ti­mate and in re­sponse to the ini­tial cre­ative man­date of the Su­preme Be­ing.

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.

115:3.9 · one paragraph not cited here ·

115:3.9The in­teras­so­ci­a­tion of the Orig­i­nal, the Ac­tual, and the Po­ten­tial yields the ten­sions within in­fin­ity which re­sult in the pos­si­bil­ity for all uni­verse growth; and growth is the na­ture of the Sev­en­fold, the Su­preme, and the Ul­ti­mate.

115:3.10In the as­so­ci­a­tion of the De­ity, Uni­ver­sal, and Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lutes, po­ten­tial­ity is ab­so­lute while ac­tu­al­ity is emer­gent; in the as­so­ci­a­tion of the Sec­ond, Third, and Par­a­dise Sources and Cen­ters, ac­tu­al­ity is ab­so­lute while po­ten­tial­ity is emer­gent; in the orig­i­nal­ity of the First Source and Cen­ter, we can­not say that ei­ther ac­tu­al­ity or po­ten­tial­ity is ei­ther ex­is­tent or emer­gent—the Fa­ther is.

118:4.3The purely static po­ten­tials in­her­ent in the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute are re­ac­tive to those cau­sa­tions of the De­ity Ab­so­lute which are pro­duced by the ac­tions of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. In the pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute these causative-im­preg­nated static po­ten­tials forth­with be­come ac­tive and re­spon­sive to the in­flu­ence of cer­tain tran­scen­den­tal agen­cies whose ac­tions re­sult in the trans­mu­ta­tion of these ac­ti­vated po­ten­tials to the sta­tus of true uni­verse pos­si­bil­i­ties for de­vel­op­ment, ac­tu­al­ized ca­pac­i­ties for growth. It is upon such ma­tured po­ten­tials that the cre­ators and con­trol­lers of the grand uni­verse en­act the never-end­ing drama of cos­mic evo­lu­tion.

118:4.4Cau­sa­tion, dis­re­gard­ing ex­is­ten­tials, is three­fold in its ba­sic con­sti­tu­tion. As it op­er­ates in this uni­verse age and con­cern­ing the fi­nite level of the seven super­uni­verses, it may be con­ceived as fol­lows:

118:4.51. Ac­ti­va­tion of static po­ten­tials. The es­tab­lish­ment of des­tiny in the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute by the ac­tions of the De­ity Ab­so­lute, op­er­at­ing in and upon the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute and in con­se­quence of the vo­li­tional man­dates of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.
