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.

0:10.2God the Ab­so­lute is the re­al­iza­tion-at­tain­ment goal of all super­ab­so­nite be­ings, but the power and per­son­al­ity po­ten­tial of the De­ity Ab­so­lute tran­scends our con­cept, and we hes­i­tate to dis­cuss those re­al­i­ties which are so far re­moved from ex­pe­ri­en­tial ac­tu­al­iza­tion.

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.

0:12.4Trin­i­ties are truths of re­la­tion­ship and facts of co-or­di­nate De­ity man­i­fes­ta­tion. Trin­ity func­tions en­com­pass De­ity re­al­i­ties, and De­ity re­al­i­ties al­ways seek re­al­iza­tion and man­i­fes­ta­tion in per­son­al­iza­tion. God the Su­preme, God the Ul­ti­mate, and even God the Ab­so­lute are there­fore di­vine in­evitabil­i­ties. These three ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­i­ties were po­ten­tial in the ex­is­ten­tial Trin­ity, the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, but their uni­verse emer­gence as per­son­al­i­ties of power is de­pen­dent in part on their own ex­pe­ri­en­tial func­tion­ing in the uni­verses of power and per­son­al­ity and in part on the ex­pe­ri­en­tial achieve­ments of the post-Ha­vona Cre­ators and Trin­i­ties.

106:8.163. The Ab­so­lute. There are many the­o­ries held as to the char­ac­ter of the third mem­ber of the sec­ond level of the Trin­ity of Trin­i­ties. God the Ab­so­lute is un­doubt­edly in­volved in this as­so­ci­a­tion as the per­son­al­ity con­se­quence of the fi­nal func­tion of the Trin­ity Ab­so­lute, yet the De­ity Ab­so­lute is an ex­is­ten­tial re­al­ity of eter­nity sta­tus.

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.

0:9.4The first three and past-eter­nal De­i­ties of Par­a­dise—the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, the Eter­nal Son, and the In­fi­nite Spirit—are, in the eter­nal fu­ture, to be per­son­al­ity-com­ple­mented by the ex­pe­ri­en­tial ac­tu­al­iza­tion of as­so­ciate evo­lu­tion­ary De­i­ties—God the Su­preme, God the Ul­ti­mate, and pos­si­bly God the Ab­so­lute.

0:12.8The Ul­ti­mate Trin­ity is ex­pe­ri­en­tially uni­fy­ing in com­ple­tion, but we truly doubt the pos­si­bil­ity of such full uni­fi­ca­tion of the Ab­so­lute Trin­ity. Our con­cept, how­ever, of the eter­nal Par­a­dise Trin­ity is an ever-pres­ent re­minder that De­ity trin­i­ti­za­tion may ac­com­plish what is oth­er­wise nonat­tain­able; hence do we pos­tu­late the some­time ap­pear­ance of the Su­preme-Ul­ti­mate and the pos­si­ble trin­i­ti­za­tion-fac­tu­al­iza­tion of God the Ab­so­lute.
