Supremacy

117:6.11There is no ap­proach to the Su­preme ex­cept through ex­pe­ri­ence, and in the cur­rent epochs of cre­ation there are only three av­enues of crea­ture ap­proach to Su­prem­acy:

117:6.121. The Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens de­scend from the eter­nal Isle through Ha­vona, where they ac­quire ca­pac­ity for Su­prem­acy com­pre­hen­sion through ob­ser­va­tion of the Par­a­dise-Ha­vona re­al­ity dif­fer­en­tial and by ex­ploratory dis­cov­ery of the man­i­fold ac­tiv­i­ties of the Su­preme Cre­ator Per­son­al­i­ties, rang­ing from the Mas­ter Spir­its to the Cre­ator Sons.

117:6.132. The time-space as­cend­ers com­ing up from the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses of the Su­preme Cre­ators make close ap­proach to the Su­preme in the traver­sal of Ha­vona as a pre­lim­i­nary to the aug­ment­ing ap­pre­ci­a­tion of the unity of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

117:6.143. The Ha­vona na­tives ac­quire a com­pre­hen­sion of the Su­preme through con­tacts with de­scend­ing pil­grims from Par­a­dise and as­cend­ing pil­grims from the seven super­uni­verses. Ha­vona na­tives are in­her­ently in po­si­tion to har­mo­nize the es­sen­tially dif­fer­ent view­points of the cit­i­zens of the eter­nal Isle and the cit­i­zens of the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses.

105:6.21. The de­ity re­sponse, the ap­pear­ance of the three lev­els of ex­pe­ri­en­tial su­prem­acy: the ac­tu­al­ity of per­sonal-spirit su­prem­acy in Ha­vona, the po­ten­tial for per­sonal-power su­prem­acy in the grand uni­verse to be, and the ca­pac­ity for some un­known func­tion of ex­pe­ri­en­tial mind act­ing on some level of su­prem­acy in the fu­ture mas­ter uni­verse.

115:2.1From the ex­is­ten­tial stand­point, noth­ing new can hap­pen through­out the galax­ies, for the com­ple­tion of in­fin­ity in­her­ent in the I AM is eter­nally pres­ent in the seven Ab­so­lutes, is func­tion­ally as­so­ci­ated in the tri­uni­ties, and is trans­mi­tively as­so­ci­ated in the tri­odi­ties. But the fact that in­fin­ity is thus ex­is­ten­tially pres­ent in these ab­so­lute as­so­ci­a­tions in no way makes it im­pos­si­ble to re­al­ize new cos­mic ex­pe­ri­en­tials. From a fi­nite crea­ture’s view­point, in­fin­ity con­tains much that is po­ten­tial, much that is on the or­der of a fu­ture pos­si­bil­ity rather than a pres­ent ac­tu­al­ity.

115:2.2Value is a unique el­e­ment in uni­verse re­al­ity. We do not com­pre­hend how the value of any­thing in­fi­nite and di­vine could pos­si­bly be in­creased. But we dis­cover that mean­ings can be mod­i­fied if not aug­mented even in the re­la­tions of in­fi­nite De­ity. To the ex­pe­ri­en­tial uni­verses even di­vine val­ues are in­creased as ac­tu­al­i­ties by en­larged com­pre­hen­sion of re­al­ity mean­ings.

115:2.3The en­tire scheme of uni­ver­sal cre­ation and evo­lu­tion on all ex­pe­ri­enc­ing lev­els is ap­par­ently a mat­ter of the con­ver­sion of po­ten­tial­i­ties into ac­tu­al­i­ties; and this trans­mu­ta­tion has to do equally with the realms of space po­tency, mind po­tency, and spirit po­tency.

115:2.4The ap­par­ent method whereby the pos­si­bil­i­ties of the cos­mos are brought into ac­tual ex­is­tence varies from level to level, be­ing ex­pe­ri­en­tial evo­lu­tion in the fi­nite and ex­pe­ri­en­tial even­tu­a­tion in the ab­so­nite. Ex­is­ten­tial in­fin­ity is in­deed un­qual­i­fied in all-in­clu­sive­ness, and this very all-in­clu­sive­ness must, per­force, en­com­pass even the pos­si­bil­ity for evo­lu­tion­ary fi­nite ex­pe­ri­enc­ing. And the pos­si­bil­ity for such ex­pe­ri­en­tial growth be­comes a uni­verse ac­tu­al­ity through tri­odity re­la­tion­ships im­ping­ing upon and in the Su­preme.

117:0.2If all grand uni­versers should ever rel­a­tively achieve the full liv­ing of the will of God, then would the time-space cre­ations be set­tled in light and life, and then would the Al­mighty, the de­ity po­ten­tial of Su­prem­acy, be­come fac­tual in the emer­gence of the di­vine per­son­al­ity of God the Su­preme.

26:6.2It is in this cir­cle that the as­cend­ers achieve a new re­al­iza­tion of Su­preme Di­vin­ity. Through their long ca­reers in the evo­lu­tion­ary uni­verses the pil­grims of time have been ex­pe­ri­enc­ing a grow­ing aware­ness of the re­al­ity of an al­mighty over­con­trol of the time-space cre­ations. Here, on this Ha­vona cir­cuit, they come near to en­coun­ter­ing the cen­tral uni­verse source of time-space unity—the spir­i­tual re­al­ity of God the Su­preme.

32:3.14The di­vinely per­fect crea­ture and the evo­lu­tion­ary per­fected crea­ture are equal in de­gree of di­vin­ity po­ten­tial, but they dif­fer in kind. Each must de­pend on the other to at­tain su­prem­acy of ser­vice. The evo­lu­tion­ary super­uni­verses de­pend on per­fect Ha­vona to pro­vide the fi­nal train­ing for their as­cend­ing cit­i­zens, but so does the per­fect cen­tral uni­verse re­quire the ex­is­tence of the per­fect­ing super­uni­verses to pro­vide for the full de­vel­op­ment of its de­scend­ing in­hab­i­tants.

32:3.15The two prime man­i­fes­ta­tions of fi­nite re­al­ity, in­nate per­fec­tion and evolved per­fec­tion, be they per­son­al­i­ties or uni­verses, are co-or­di­nate, de­pen­dent, and in­te­grated. Each re­quires the other to achieve com­ple­tion of func­tion, ser­vice, and des­tiny.

16:3.18It is Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven who, in his mul­ti­ple ca­pac­i­ties, per­son­ally spon­sors the prog­ress of the as­cen­sion can­di­dates from the worlds of time in their at­tempts to achieve com­pre­hen­sion of the un­di­vided De­ity of Su­prem­acy. Such com­pre­hen­sion in­volves a grasp of the ex­is­ten­tial sov­er­eignty of the Trin­ity of Su­prem­acy so co-or­di­nated with a con­cept of the grow­ing ex­pe­ri­en­tial sov­er­eignty of the Su­preme Be­ing as to con­sti­tute the crea­ture grasp of the unity of Su­prem­acy. Crea­ture re­al­iza­tion of these three fac­tors equals Ha­vona com­pre­hen­sion of Trin­ity re­al­ity and en­dows the pil­grims of time with the abil­ity even­tu­ally to pen­e­trate the Trin­ity, to dis­cover the three in­fi­nite per­sons of De­ity.

0:7.7God the Su­preme in Ha­vona is the per­sonal spirit re­flec­tion of the tri­une Par­a­dise De­ity. This as­so­cia­tive De­ity re­la­tion­ship is now cre­atively ex­pand­ing out­ward in God the Sev­en­fold and is syn­the­siz­ing in the ex­pe­ri­en­tial power of the Al­mighty Su­preme in the grand uni­verse. Par­a­dise De­ity, ex­is­ten­tial as three per­sons, is thus ex­pe­ri­en­tially evolv­ing in two phases of Su­prem­acy, while these dual phases are power-per­son­al­ity uni­fy­ing as one Lord, the Su­preme Be­ing.

115:4.7The growth of Su­prem­acy de­rives from the tri­odi­ties; the spirit per­son of the Su­preme, from the Trin­ity; but the power pre­rog­a­tives of the Al­mighty are pred­i­cated on the di­vin­ity suc­cesses of God the Sev­en­fold, while the con­join­ing of the power pre­rog­a­tives of the Al­mighty Su­preme with the spirit per­son of God the Su­preme takes place by virtue of the min­istry of the Con­joint Ac­tor, who be­stowed the mind of the Su­preme as the con­join­ing fac­tor in this evo­lu­tion­ary De­ity.

24:7.8The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its and the as­so­ci­ated Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors, re­spec­tively, are the per­sonal repos­i­to­ries of the mind po­ten­tial and of the power po­ten­tial of the Su­preme Be­ing which he does not, as yet, op­er­ate per­son­ally. And when these Par­a­dise as­so­ciates col­lab­o­rate to cre­ate the Ha­vona Servi­tals, the lat­ter are in­her­ently in­volved in cer­tain phases of Su­prem­acy. Ha­vona Servi­tals are thus, in ac­tu­al­ity, a re­flec­tion in the per­fect cen­tral uni­verse of cer­tain evo­lu­tion­ary po­ten­tial­i­ties of the time-space do­mains, all of which is dis­closed when a servi­tal un­der­goes trans­for­ma­tion and re-cre­ation. We be­lieve that this trans­for­ma­tion takes place in re­sponse to the will of the In­fi­nite Spirit, un­doubt­edly act­ing in be­half of the Su­preme. Grad­u­ate Guides are not cre­ated by the Su­preme Be­ing, but we all con­jec­ture that ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity is in some way con­cerned in those trans­ac­tions which bring these be­ings into ex­is­tence.

25:2.4Each of the seven super­cre­ations is ac­tu­ally per­vaded by that one of the Mas­ter Spir­its who pre­sides over its des­tinies. Each super­uni­verse thus be­comes like a gi­gan­tic mir­ror re­flect­ing the na­ture and char­ac­ter of the super­vis­ing Mas­ter Spirit, and all of this is fur­ther con­tin­ued in ev­ery sub­sidiary lo­cal uni­verse by the pres­ence and func­tion of the Cre­ative Mother Spir­its. The ef­fect of such an en­vi­ron­ment upon evo­lu­tion­ary growth is so pro­found that in their post­super­uni­verse ca­reers the con­cil­ia­tors col­lec­tively man­i­fest forty-nine ex­pe­ri­en­tial view­points, or in­sights, each an­gu­lar—hence in­com­plete—but all mu­tu­ally com­pen­satory and to­gether tend­ing to en­com­pass the cir­cle of Su­prem­acy.

29:4.356. Sec­ondary Dis­so­ci­a­tors. Com­pared with the pri­mary as­so­ci­a­tors, these be­ings of enor­mous anti­grav­ity en­dow­ment are the re­verse work­ers. There is never any dan­ger that the spe­cial or mod­i­fied forms of phys­i­cal en­ergy on the lo­cal worlds or in the lo­cal sys­tems will be ex­hausted, for these liv­ing or­ga­ni­za­tions are en­dowed with the unique power of evolv­ing lim­it­less sup­plies of en­ergy. They are chiefly con­cerned with the evo­lu­tion of a form of en­ergy which is hardly known on Uran­tia from a form of mat­ter which is rec­og­nized still less. They are truly the al­chemists of space and the won­der-work­ers of time. But in all the won­ders they work, they never transgress the man­dates of Cos­mic Su­prem­acy.

10:7.4We do not find the over­con­trol of Su­prem­acy to be wholly pre­dictable. Fur­ther­more, this un­pre­dictabil­ity ap­pears to be char­ac­ter­ized by a cer­tain de­vel­op­men­tal in­com­plete­ness, un­doubt­edly an ear­mark of the in­com­plete­ness of the Su­preme and of the in­com­plete­ness of fi­nite re­ac­tion to the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

10:7.5The mor­tal mind can im­me­di­ately think of a thou­sand and one things—catas­trophic phys­i­cal events, ap­palling ac­ci­dents, hor­rific dis­as­ters, painful ill­nesses, and world-wide scourges—and ask whether such vis­i­ta­tions are cor­re­lated in the un­known ma­neu­ver­ing of this prob­a­ble func­tion­ing of the Su­preme Be­ing. Frankly, we do not know; we are not re­ally sure. But we do ob­serve that, as time passes, all these dif­fi­cult and more or less mys­te­ri­ous sit­u­a­tions al­ways work out for the wel­fare and prog­ress of the uni­verses. It may be that the cir­cum­stances of ex­is­tence and the in­ex­pli­ca­ble vi­cis­si­tudes of liv­ing are all in­ter­wo­ven into a mean­ing­ful pat­tern of high value by the func­tion of the Su­preme and the over­con­trol of the Trin­ity.

10:7.6As a son of God you can dis­cern the per­sonal at­ti­tude of love in all the acts of God the Fa­ther. But you will not al­ways be able to un­der­stand how many of the uni­verse acts of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity re­dound to the good of the in­di­vid­ual mor­tal on the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds of space. In the prog­ress of eter­nity the acts of the Trin­ity will be re­vealed as al­to­gether mean­ing­ful and con­sid­er­ate, but they do not al­ways so ap­pear to the crea­tures of time.

26:7.4When an as­cen­dant soul ac­tu­ally starts for Par­a­dise, he is ac­com­pa­nied only by the tran­sit trio: the super­aphic cir­cle as­so­ciate, the Grad­u­ate Guide, and the ever-pres­ent servi­tal as­so­ciate of the lat­ter. These ex­cur­sions from the Ha­vona cir­cles to Par­a­dise are trial trips; the as­cend­ers are not yet of Par­a­dise sta­tus. They do not achieve res­i­den­tial sta­tus on Par­a­dise un­til they have passed through the ter­mi­nal rest of time sub­se­quent to the at­tain­ment of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the fi­nal clear­ance of the Ha­vona cir­cuits. Not un­til af­ter the di­vine rest do they par­take of the “essence of di­vin­ity” and the “spirit of su­prem­acy” and thus re­ally be­gin to func­tion in the cir­cle of eter­nity and in the pres­ence of the Trin­ity.

26:9.4Step by step, life by life, world by world, the as­cen­dant ca­reer has been mas­tered, and the goal of De­ity has been at­tained. Sur­vival is com­plete in per­fec­tion, and per­fec­tion is re­plete in the su­prem­acy of di­vin­ity. Time is lost in eter­nity; space is swal­lowed up in wor­ship­ful iden­tity and har­mony with the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. The broad­casts of Ha­vona flash forth the space re­ports of glory, the good news that in very truth the con­sci­en­tious crea­tures of an­i­mal na­ture and ma­te­rial ori­gin have, through evo­lu­tion­ary as­cen­sion, be­come in re­al­ity and eter­nally the per­fected sons of God.

116:1.2The union of the power and per­son­al­ity at­tri­butes of Su­prem­acy is the func­tion of Su­preme Mind; and the com­pleted evo­lu­tion of the Al­mighty Su­preme will re­sult in one uni­fied and per­sonal De­ity—not in any loosely co-or­di­nated as­so­ci­a­tion of di­vine at­tri­butes. From the broader per­spec­tive, there will be no Al­mighty apart from the Su­preme, no Su­preme apart from the Al­mighty.

25:4.19Be­sides coun­sel­ing re­gard­ing le­gal us­ages, Tech­ni­cal Ad­vis­ers are equally de­voted to the ef­fi­cient in­ter­pre­ta­tion of all laws con­cern­ing crea­ture be­ings—phys­i­cal, mindal, and spir­i­tual. They are avail­able to the Uni­ver­sal Con­cil­ia­tors and to all oth­ers who de­sire to know the truth of law; in other words, to know how the Su­prem­acy of De­ity may be de­pended upon to re­act in a given sit­u­a­tion hav­ing fac­tors of an es­tab­lished phys­i­cal, mindal, and spir­i­tual or­der. They even es­say to elu­ci­date the tech­nique of the Ul­ti­mate.
