43:8.117. And then, cli­max all of these pro­ce­dures of mul­ti­so­cial­iza­tion with the con­cur­rent en­hance­ment of spir­i­tual in­sight as it per­tains to the aug­men­ta­tion of all phases of per­sonal en­dow­ment through group spir­i­tual as­so­ci­a­tion and mor­ontia co-or­di­na­tion. In­tel­lec­tu­ally, so­cially, and spir­i­tu­ally two moral crea­tures do not merely dou­ble their per­sonal po­ten­tials of uni­verse achieve­ment by part­ner­ship tech­nique; they more nearly quadru­ple their at­tain­ment and ac­com­plish­ment pos­si­bil­i­ties.

107:4.7Can you re­ally re­al­ize the true sig­nif­i­cance of the Ad­juster’s in­dwelling? Do you re­ally fathom what it means to have an ab­so­lute frag­ment of the ab­so­lute and in­fi­nite De­ity, the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, in­dwelling and fus­ing with your fi­nite mor­tal na­tures? When mor­tal man fuses with an ac­tual frag­ment of the ex­is­ten­tial Cause of the to­tal cos­mos, no limit can ever be placed upon the des­tiny of such an un­prece­dented and unimag­in­able part­ner­ship. In eter­nity, man will be dis­cov­er­ing not only the in­fin­ity of the ob­jec­tive De­ity but also the un­end­ing po­ten­tial­ity of the sub­jec­tive frag­ment of this same God. Al­ways will the Ad­juster be re­veal­ing to the mor­tal per­son­al­ity the won­der of God, and never can this su­per­nal rev­e­la­tion come to an end, for the Ad­juster is of God and as God to mor­tal man.

118:5.2In the be­gin­ning the Fa­ther does all, but as the pan­o­rama of eter­nity un­folds in re­sponse to the will and man­dates of the In­fi­nite, it be­comes in­creas­ingly ap­par­ent that crea­tures, even men, are to be­come God’s part­ners in the re­al­iza­tion of fi­nal­ity of des­tiny. And this is true even in the life in the flesh; when man and God en­ter into part­ner­ship, no lim­i­ta­tion can be placed upon the fu­ture pos­si­bil­i­ties of such a part­ner­ship. When man re­al­izes that the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther is his part­ner in eter­nal pro­gres­sion, when he fuses with the in­dwelling Fa­ther pres­ence, he has, in spirit, bro­ken the fet­ters of time and has al­ready en­tered upon the pro­gres­sions of eter­nity in the quest for the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther.

132:7.9What a scene for the ce­les­tial in­tel­li­gences to be­hold, this spec­ta­cle of the In­dian lad propos­ing to the Cre­ator of a uni­verse that they make a new re­li­gion! And though the young man did not know it, they were mak­ing a new and ev­er­last­ing re­li­gion right then and there—this new way of sal­va­tion, the rev­e­la­tion of God to man through, and in, Je­sus. That which the lad wanted most to do he was un­con­sciously ac­tu­ally do­ing. And it was, and is, ever thus. That which the en­light­ened and re­flec­tive hu­man imag­i­na­tion of spir­i­tual teach­ing and lead­ing whole­heart­edly and un­selfishly wants to do and be, be­comes mea­sur­ably cre­ative in ac­cor­dance with the de­gree of mor­tal ded­i­ca­tion to the di­vine do­ing of the Fa­ther’s will. When man goes in part­ner­ship with God, great things may, and do, hap­pen.
