Supreme Mind

116:1.1The ex­pe­ri­ence of ev­ery evolv­ing crea­ture per­son­al­ity is a phase of the ex­pe­ri­ence of the Al­mighty Su­preme. The in­tel­li­gent sub­ju­ga­tion of ev­ery phys­i­cal seg­ment of the super­uni­verses is a part of the grow­ing con­trol of the Al­mighty Su­preme. The cre­ative syn­the­sis of power and per­son­al­ity is a part of the cre­ative urge of the Su­preme Mind and is the very essence of the evo­lu­tion­ary growth of unity in the Su­preme Be­ing.

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.

116:1.3Through­out the evo­lu­tion­ary ages the phys­i­cal power po­ten­tial of the Su­preme is vested in the Seven Su­preme Power Di­rec­tors, and the mind po­ten­tial re­poses in the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its. The In­fi­nite Mind is the func­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit; the cos­mic mind, the min­istry of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its; the Su­preme Mind is in pro­cess of ac­tu­al­iz­ing in the co-or­di­na­tion of the grand uni­verse and in func­tional as­so­ci­a­tion with the rev­e­la­tion and at­tain­ment of God the Sev­en­fold.

116:1.4The time-space mind, the cos­mic mind, is dif­fer­ently func­tion­ing in the seven super­uni­verses, but it is co-or­di­nated by some un­known as­so­cia­tive tech­nique in the Su­preme Be­ing. The Al­mighty over­con­trol of the grand uni­verse is not ex­clu­sively phys­i­cal and spir­i­tual. In the seven super­uni­verses it is pri­mar­ily ma­te­rial and spir­i­tual, but there are also pres­ent phe­nom­ena of the Su­preme which are both in­tel­lec­tual and spir­i­tual.

116:1.5We re­ally know less about the mind of Su­prem­acy than about any other as­pect of this evolv­ing De­ity. It is un­ques­tion­ably ac­tive through­out the grand uni­verse and is be­lieved to have a po­ten­tial des­tiny of mas­ter uni­verse func­tion which is of vast ex­tent. But this we do know: Whereas physique may at­tain com­pleted growth, and whereas spirit may achieve per­fec­tion of de­vel­op­ment, mind never ceases to pro­gress—it is the ex­pe­ri­en­tial tech­nique of end­less prog­ress. The Su­preme is an ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­ity and there­fore never achieves com­ple­tion of mind at­tain­ment.

9:7.4The re­la­tion­ship be­tween the fi­nite cos­mic mind and the di­vine ab­so­lute mind ap­pears to be evolv­ing in the ex­pe­ri­en­tial mind of the Su­preme. We are taught that, in the dawn of time, this ex­pe­ri­en­tial mind was be­stowed upon the Su­preme by the In­fi­nite Spirit, and we con­jec­ture that cer­tain fea­tures of the phe­nom­e­non of re­flec­tiv­ity can be ac­counted for only by pos­tu­lat­ing the ac­tiv­ity of the Su­preme Mind. If the Su­preme is not con­cerned in re­flec­tiv­ity, we are at a loss to ex­plain the in­tri­cate trans­ac­tions and unerring op­er­a­tions of this con­scious­ness of the cos­mos.

116:7.3Mind has been given to mor­tals where­with they may be­come self-con­scious of iden­tity and per­son­al­ity; and mind—even a Su­preme Mind—has been be­stowed upon the to­tal­ity of the fi­nite whereby the spirit of this emerg­ing per­son­al­ity of the cos­mos ever strives for the mas­tery of en­ergy-mat­ter.

118:9.4The grand uni­verse is mech­a­nism as well as or­gan­ism, me­chan­i­cal and liv­ing—a liv­ing mech­a­nism ac­ti­vated by a Su­preme Mind, co-or­di­nat­ing with a Su­preme Spirit, and find­ing ex­pres­sion on max­i­mum lev­els of power and per­son­al­ity uni­fi­ca­tion as the Su­preme Be­ing. But to deny the mech­a­nism of the fi­nite cre­ation is to deny fact and to dis­re­gard re­al­ity.

22:7.11The Su­preme Be­ing is the uni­fi­ca­tion of three phases of De­ity re­al­ity: God the Su­preme, the spir­i­tual uni­fi­ca­tion of cer­tain fi­nite as­pects of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity; the Al­mighty Su­preme, the power uni­fi­ca­tion of the grand uni­verse Cre­ators; and the Su­preme Mind, the in­di­vid­ual con­tri­bu­tion of the Third Source and Cen­ter and his co-or­di­nates to the re­al­ity of the Su­preme Be­ing. In their trin­i­ti­za­tion ad­ven­tures the su­perb crea­tures of the cen­tral uni­verse and Par­a­dise are en­gaged in a three­fold ex­plo­ration of the De­ity of the Su­preme which re­sults in the pro­duc­tion of three or­ders of crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons:

56:6.2The per­son­al­ity re­al­i­ties of the Su­preme Be­ing come forth from the Par­a­dise De­i­ties and on the pi­lot world of the outer Ha­vona cir­cuit unify with the power pre­rog­a­tives of the Al­mighty Su­preme com­ing up from the Cre­ator di­vini­ties of the grand uni­verse. God the Su­preme as a per­son ex­isted in Ha­vona be­fore the cre­ation of the seven super­uni­verses, but he func­tioned only on spir­i­tual lev­els. The evo­lu­tion of the Al­mighty power of Su­prem­acy by di­verse di­vin­ity syn­the­sis in the evolv­ing uni­verses even­tu­ated in a new power pres­ence of De­ity which co-or­di­nated with the spir­i­tual per­son of the Su­preme in Ha­vona by means of the Su­preme Mind, which con­comi­tantly trans­lated from the po­ten­tial res­i­dent in the in­fi­nite mind of the In­fi­nite Spirit to the ac­tive func­tional mind of 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.

42:10.6The cos­mic mind. This is the sev­en­fold di­ver­si­fied mind of time and space, one phase of which is min­is­tered by each of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its to one of the seven super­uni­verses. The cos­mic mind en­com­passes all fi­nite-mind lev­els and co-or­di­nates ex­pe­ri­en­tially with the evo­lu­tion­ary-de­ity lev­els of the Su­preme Mind and tran­scen­den­tally with the ex­is­ten­tial lev­els of ab­so­lute mind—the di­rect cir­cuits of the Con­joint Ac­tor.

56:2.3This in­fi­nite and uni­ver­sal mind is min­is­tered in the uni­verses of time and space as the cos­mic mind; and though ex­tend­ing from the prim­i­tive min­istry of the ad­ju­tant spir­its up to the mag­nif­i­cent mind of the chief ex­ec­u­tive of a uni­verse, even this cos­mic mind is ad­e­quately uni­fied in the super­vi­sion of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, who are in turn co-or­di­nated with the Su­preme Mind of time and space and per­fectly cor­re­lated with the all-em­brac­ing mind of the In­fi­nite Spirit.

22:7.143. Trin­i­tized Sons of Des­tiny. But when a fi­nal­i­ter and a Par­a­dise-Havoner to­gether trini­tize a new crea­ture, this con­joint ef­fort reper­cusses in cer­tain phases of the Su­preme-Ul­ti­mate Mind. The re­sult­ing crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons are super­cre­ational; they rep­re­sent ac­tu­al­i­ties of Su­preme-Ul­ti­mate De­ity which have not been oth­er­wise ex­pe­ri­en­tially at­tained, and which, there­fore, au­to­mat­i­cally fall within the prov­ince of the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse, cus­to­di­ans of those things which tran­scend the cre­ational lim­its of the pres­ent uni­verse age. The trin­i­tized sons of des­tiny em­body cer­tain as­pects of the un­re­vealed mas­ter uni­verse func­tion of the Su­preme-Ul­ti­mate. We do not know a great deal about these con­joint chil­dren of time and eter­nity, but we know much more than we are per­mit­ted to re­veal.

23:4.2The Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers demon­strate such an amaz­ing abil­ity to co-or­di­nate all types and or­ders of fi­nite per­son­al­ity—even to make con­tact with the ab­so­nite regime of the mas­ter uni­verse over­con­trollers—that some of us pos­tu­late that the cre­ation of these mes­sen­gers by the In­fi­nite Spirit is in some man­ner re­lated to the Con­joint Ac­tor’s be­stowal of Su­preme-Ul­ti­mate Mind.

23:4.3When a fi­nal­i­ter and a Par­a­dise Cit­i­zen co-op­er­ate in the trin­i­ti­za­tion of a “child of time and eter­nity”—a trans­ac­tion in­volv­ing the un­re­vealed mind po­ten­tials of the Su­preme-Ul­ti­mate—and when such an un­clas­si­fied per­son­al­ity is dis­patched to Vicegering­ton, a Soli­tary Mes­sen­ger (a con­jec­tured per­son­al­ity reper­cus­sion of the be­stowal of such de­ity mind) is al­ways as­signed as guard­ian-com­pan­ion to such a crea­ture-trin­i­tized son. This mes­sen­ger ac­com­pa­nies the new son of des­tiny to the world of his as­sign­ment and nev­er­more leaves Vicegering­ton. When thus at­tached to the des­tinies of a child of time and eter­nity, a Soli­tary Mes­sen­ger is for­ever trans­ferred to the sole super­vi­sion of the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse. What the fu­ture of such an ex­traor­di­nary as­so­ci­a­tion may be, we do not know. For ages these part­ner­ships of unique per­son­al­i­ties have con­tin­ued to for­gather on Vicegering­ton, but not even a sin­gle pair has ever gone forth there­from.

0:3.142. The mind forces are con­ver­gent in the In­fi­nite Spirit; the dif­fer­en­tial and di­ver­gent cos­mic mind in the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its; the fac­tu­al­iz­ing mind of the Su­preme as a time-space ex­pe­ri­ence in Maj­es­ton.

116:4.3Early in the pro­jec­tion of the super­uni­verse scheme of cre­ation, the Mas­ter Spir­its joined with the an­ces­tral Trin­ity in the cocre­ation of the forty-nine Re­flec­tive Spir­its, and con­comi­tantly the Su­preme Be­ing func­tioned cre­atively as the cul­mi­na­tor of the con­joined acts of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity and the cre­ative chil­dren of Par­a­dise De­ity. Maj­es­ton ap­peared and ever since has fo­cal­ized the cos­mic pres­ence of the Su­preme Mind, while the Mas­ter Spir­its con­tinue as source-cen­ters for the far-flung min­istry of the cos­mic mind.

56:10.11The ex­is­tence of beauty im­plies the pres­ence of ap­pre­cia­tive crea­ture mind just as cer­tainly as the fact of pro­gres­sive evo­lu­tion in­di­cates the dom­i­nance of the Su­preme Mind. Beauty is the in­tel­lec­tual rec­og­ni­tion of the har­mo­nious time-space syn­the­sis of the far-flung di­ver­si­fi­ca­tion of phe­nom­e­nal re­al­ity, all of which stems from pre-ex­is­tent and eter­nal one­ness.

116:3.21. The mind fo­cal­iza­tions of the Third Source and Cen­ter. The fi­nite do­mains of en­ergy and spirit are lit­er­ally held to­gether by the mind pres­ences of the Con­joint Ac­tor. This is true from the Cre­ative Spirit in a lo­cal uni­verse through the Re­flec­tive Spir­its of a super­uni­verse to the Mas­ter Spir­its in the grand uni­verse. The mind cir­cuits em­a­nat­ing from these var­ied in­tel­li­gence fo­cuses rep­re­sent the cos­mic arena of crea­ture choice. Mind is the flex­i­ble re­al­ity which crea­tures and Cre­ators can so read­ily ma­nip­u­late; it is the vi­tal link con­nect­ing mat­ter and spirit. The mind be­stowal of the Third Source and Cen­ter uni­fies the spirit per­son of God the Su­preme with the ex­pe­ri­en­tial power of the evo­lu­tion­ary Al­mighty.

116:3.32. The per­son­al­ity rev­e­la­tions of the Sec­ond Source and Cen­ter. The mind pres­ences of the Con­joint Ac­tor unify the spirit of di­vin­ity with the pat­tern of en­ergy. The be­stowal in­car­na­tions of the Eter­nal Son and his Par­a­dise Sons unify, ac­tu­ally fuse, the di­vine na­ture of a Cre­ator with the evolv­ing na­ture of a crea­ture. The Su­preme is both crea­ture and cre­ator; the pos­si­bil­ity of his be­ing such is re­vealed in the be­stowal ac­tions of the Eter­nal Son and his co-or­di­nate and sub­or­di­nate Sons. The be­stowal or­ders of son­ship, the Mi­cha­els and the Avo­nals, ac­tu­ally aug­ment their di­vine na­tures with bona fide crea­ture na­tures which have be­come theirs by the liv­ing of the ac­tual crea­ture life on the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds. When di­vin­ity be­comes like hu­man­ity, in­her­ent in this re­la­tion­ship is the pos­si­bil­ity that hu­man­ity can be­come di­vine.

117:7.14It is con­jec­tured that at this far-dis­tant time the spirit per­son of the Su­preme and at­tained power of the Al­mighty will have achieved co-or­di­nate de­vel­op­ment, and that both, as uni­fied in and by the Su­preme Mind, will fac­tu­al­ize as the Su­preme Be­ing, a com­pleted ac­tu­al­ity in the uni­verses—an ac­tu­al­ity which will be ob­serv­able by all crea­ture in­tel­li­gences, re­acted to by all cre­ated en­er­gies, co-or­di­nated in all spir­i­tual en­ti­ties, and ex­pe­ri­enced by all uni­verse per­son­al­i­ties.

106:5.2It should be made clear that these ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­i­ties are cor­rel­a­tive, not only of the per­son­al­ity qual­i­ties of ex­pe­ri­en­tial Di­vin­ity, but also of all the other-than-per­sonal qual­i­ties which char­ac­ter­ize their at­tained De­ity unity. While this pre­sen­ta­tion deals pri­mar­ily with the per­sonal phases of the uni­fi­ca­tion of the cos­mos, it is nonethe­less true that the im­per­sonal as­pects of the uni­verse of uni­verses are like­wise des­tined to un­dergo uni­fi­ca­tion as is il­lus­trated by the power-per­son­al­ity syn­the­sis now go­ing on in con­nec­tion with the evo­lu­tion of the Su­preme Be­ing. The spirit-per­sonal qual­i­ties of the Su­preme are in­sep­a­ra­ble from the power pre­rog­a­tives of the Al­mighty, and both are com­ple­mented by the un­known po­ten­tial of Su­preme Mind. Nei­ther can God the Ul­ti­mate as a per­son be con­sid­ered apart from the other-than-per­sonal as­pects of Ul­ti­mate De­ity. And on the ab­so­lute level the De­ity and the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lutes are in­sep­a­ra­ble and in­dis­tin­guish­able in the pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.
