all are supposedly experiential 2 paragraphs

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.

0:12.2The Par­a­dise Trin­ity—the eter­nal De­ity union of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, the Eter­nal Son, and the In­fi­nite Spirit—is ex­is­ten­tial in ac­tu­al­ity, but all po­ten­tials are ex­pe­ri­en­tial. There­fore does this Trin­ity con­sti­tute the only De­ity re­al­ity em­brac­ing in­fin­ity, and there­fore do there oc­cur the uni­verse phe­nom­ena of the ac­tu­al­iza­tion of God the Su­preme, God the Ul­ti­mate, and God the Ab­so­lute.

102:5.1Al­though the es­tab­lish­ment of the fact of be­lief is not equiv­a­lent to es­tab­lish­ing the fact of that which is be­lieved, nev­er­the­less, the evo­lu­tion­ary pro­gres­sion of sim­ple life to the sta­tus of per­son­al­ity does demon­strate the fact of the ex­is­tence of the po­ten­tial of per­son­al­ity to start with. And in the time uni­verses, po­ten­tial is al­ways su­preme over the ac­tual. In the evolv­ing cos­mos the po­ten­tial is what is to be, and what is to be is the un­fold­ing of the pur­po­sive man­dates of De­ity.

completed Trinity Absolute will express all 1 paragraph

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.

transmutation into actuals 1 paragraph

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.
