Every paragraph the index cites under trinitization, once, in the order of the book. Beside each stand the entries that cite it.

0:7.8The Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther achieves free­will lib­er­a­tion from the bonds of in­fin­ity and the fet­ters of eter­nity by the tech­nique of trin­i­ti­za­tion, three­fold De­ity per­son­al­iza­tion. The Su­preme Be­ing is even now evolv­ing as a subeter­nal per­son­al­ity uni­fi­ca­tion of the sev­en­fold man­i­fes­ta­tion of De­ity in the time-space seg­ments of the grand uni­verse.

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.

6:7.1The Eter­nal Son is that in­fi­nite per­son­al­ity from whose un­qual­i­fied per­son­al­ity fet­ters the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther es­caped by the tech­nique of trin­i­ti­za­tion, and by virtue of which he has ever since con­tin­ued to be­stow him­self in end­less pro­fu­sion upon his ever-ex­pand­ing uni­verse of Cre­ators and crea­tures. The Son is ab­so­lute per­son­al­ity; God is fa­ther per­son­al­ity—the source of per­son­al­ity, the be­stower of per­son­al­ity, the cause of per­son­al­ity. Ev­ery per­sonal be­ing de­rives per­son­al­ity from the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther just as the Orig­i­nal Son eter­nally de­rives his per­son­al­ity from the Par­a­dise Fa­ther.

10:2.1By the tech­nique of trin­i­ti­za­tion the Fa­ther di­vests him­self of that un­qual­i­fied spirit per­son­al­ity which is the Son, but in so do­ing he con­sti­tutes him­self the Fa­ther of this very Son and thereby pos­sesses him­self of un­lim­ited ca­pac­ity to be­come the di­vine Fa­ther of all sub­se­quently cre­ated, even­tu­ated, or other per­son­al­ized types of in­tel­li­gent will crea­tures. As the ab­so­lute and un­qual­i­fied per­son­al­ity the Fa­ther can func­tion only as and with the Son, but as a per­sonal Fa­ther he con­tin­ues to be­stow per­son­al­ity upon the di­verse hosts of the dif­fer­ing lev­els of in­tel­li­gent will crea­tures, and he for­ever main­tains per­sonal re­la­tions of lov­ing as­so­ci­a­tion with this vast fam­ily of uni­verse chil­dren.

13:1.12The se­crets of Vicegering­ton in­clude the se­crets of trin­i­ti­za­tion, and trin­i­ti­za­tion con­sti­tutes the se­cret of au­thor­ity to rep­re­sent the Trin­ity, to act as vicegerents of the Gods. Au­thor­ity to rep­re­sent the Trin­ity at­taches only to those be­ings, re­vealed and un­re­vealed, who are trin­i­tized, cre­ated, even­tu­ated, or eter­nal­ized by any two or all three of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity. Per­son­al­i­ties brought into be­ing by the trini­tiz­ing acts of cer­tain types of glo­ri­fied crea­tures rep­re­sent no more than the con­cep­tual po­ten­tial mo­bi­lized in that trin­i­ti­za­tion, al­beit such crea­tures may as­cend the path of De­ity em­brace open to all of their kind.

13:1.13–17 · five paragraphs not cited here ·

13:1.13Non­trini­tized be­ings do not fully un­der­stand the tech­nique of trin­i­ti­za­tion by ei­ther two or three Cre­ators or by cer­tain crea­tures. You will never fully un­der­stand such a phe­nom­e­non un­less, in the far-dis­tant fu­ture of your glo­ri­fied ca­reer, you should es­say and suc­ceed in such an ad­ven­ture, be­cause oth­er­wise these se­crets of Vicegering­ton will al­ways be for­bid­den you. But to me, a high Trin­ity-ori­gin be­ing, all sec­tors of Vicegering­ton are open. I fully un­der­stand, and just as fully and sa­credly pro­tect, the se­cret of my ori­gin and des­tiny.

13:1.14There are still other forms and phases of trin­i­ti­za­tion which have not been brought to the no­tice of the Uran­tia peo­ples, and these ex­pe­ri­ences, in their per­sonal as­pects, are duly pro­tected in the se­cret sec­tor of Vicegering­ton.

13:1.155. SOLI­TAR­ING­TON. This world is the “bo­som of the Fa­ther and the Spirit” and is the ren­dezvous of a mag­nif­i­cent host of un­re­vealed be­ings of ori­gin in the con­joint acts of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the In­fi­nite Spirit, be­ings who par­take of the traits of the Fa­ther in ad­di­tion to their Spirit in­her­i­tance.

13:1.16This is also the home of the Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers and of other per­son­al­i­ties of the super­an­gelic or­ders. You know of very few of these be­ings; there are vast num­bers of or­ders un­re­vealed on Uran­tia. Be­cause they are domi­ciled on the fifth world, it does not nec­es­sar­ily fol­low that the Fa­ther had aught to do with the cre­ation of Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers or their super­an­gelic as­so­ciates, but in this uni­verse age he does have to do with their func­tion. Dur­ing the pres­ent uni­verse age this is also the sta­tus sphere of the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors.

13:1.17There are nu­mer­ous ad­di­tional or­ders of spirit per­son­al­i­ties, be­ings un­known to mor­tal man, who look upon Soli­tar­ing­ton as their Par­a­dise home sphere. It should be re­mem­bered that all di­vi­sions and lev­els of uni­verse ac­tiv­i­ties are just as fully pro­vided with spirit min­is­ters as is the realm con­cerned with help­ing mor­tal man as­cend to his di­vine Par­a­dise des­tiny.

13:1.18The se­crets of Soli­tar­ing­ton. Be­sides cer­tain se­crets of trin­i­ti­za­tion, this world holds the se­crets of the per­sonal re­la­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit with cer­tain of the higher off­spring of the Third Source and Cen­ter. On Soli­tar­ing­ton are held the mys­ter­ies of the in­ti­mate as­so­ci­a­tion of nu­mer­ous un­re­vealed or­ders with the spir­its of the Fa­ther, of the Son, and of the Spirit, with the three­fold spirit of the Trin­ity, and with the spir­its of the Su­preme, the Ul­ti­mate, and the Su­preme-Ul­ti­mate.

22:4.3Since Those with­out Name and Num­ber are the su­pe­rior spir­i­tual minds of the sur­vival races, they are es­pe­cially qual­i­fied to sit in judg­ment and to ren­der opin­ions when a spir­i­tual view­point is de­sir­able, and when ex­pe­ri­ence in the as­cen­dant ca­reer is es­sen­tial to an ad­e­quate com­pre­hen­sion of the ques­tions in­volved in the prob­lem to be ad­ju­di­cated. They are the su­preme ju­rors of Or­von­ton. A mal­ad­min­is­tered jury sys­tem may be more or less of a trav­esty of jus­tice on some worlds, but on Uversa and its ex­ten­sion tri­bu­nals we em­ploy the high­est type of evolved spir­i­tual men­tal­ity as ju­ror-judges. Ad­ju­di­ca­tion is the high­est func­tion of any gov­ern­ment, and those who are in­trusted with ver­dict ren­der­ing should be cho­sen from the high­est and most no­ble types of the most ex­pe­ri­enced and un­der­stand­ing in­di­vid­u­als.

22:4.4 · one paragraph not cited here ·

22:4.4The se­lec­tion of can­di­dates for the trin­i­ti­za­tion classes of Mighty Mes­sen­gers, Those High in Au­thor­ity, and Those with­out Name and Num­ber is in­her­ent and au­to­matic. The se­lec­tive tech­niques of Par­a­dise are not in any sense ar­bi­trary. Per­sonal ex­pe­ri­ence and spir­i­tual val­ues de­ter­mine the per­son­nel of the Trin­i­tized Sons of At­tain­ment. Such be­ings are equal in au­thor­ity and uni­form in ad­min­is­tra­tive sta­tus, but they all pos­sess in­di­vid­u­al­ity and di­verse char­ac­ters; they are not stan­dard­ized be­ings. All are char­ac­ter­is­ti­cally dif­fer­ent, de­pend­ing on the dif­fer­en­tials of their as­cen­dant ca­reers.

22:4.5In ad­di­tion to these ex­pe­ri­en­tial qual­i­fi­ca­tions, the Trin­i­tized Sons of At­tain­ment have been trin­i­tized in the di­vine em­brace of the Par­a­dise De­i­ties. Con­se­quently they func­tion as the co-or­di­nate as­so­ciates of the Sta­tion­ary Sons of the Trin­ity, for the Trin­ity em­brace does seem to pre­cip­i­tate out of the stream of fu­ture time many of the un­re­al­ized po­ten­tials of crea­ture be­ings. But this is true con­cern­ing only that which per­tains to the pres­ent uni­verse age.

22:7.1I can­not fully un­fold to the ma­te­rial mind the ex­pe­ri­ence of the su­preme cre­ative per­for­mance of per­fect and per­fected spir­i­tual be­ings—the act of trin­i­ti­za­tion. The tech­niques of trin­i­ti­za­tion are among the se­crets of Vicegering­ton and Soli­tar­ing­ton and are re­veal­able to, and un­der­stand­able by, none save those who have passed through these unique ex­pe­ri­ences. There­fore is it be­yond the pos­si­bil­ity of any be­ing suc­cess­fully to por­tray to the hu­man mind the na­ture and pur­port of this ex­traor­di­nary trans­ac­tion.

22:7.2Aside from the De­i­ties, only Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties and cer­tain mem­bers of each of the fi­nal­i­ter corps en­gage in trin­i­ti­za­tion. Un­der spe­cial­ized con­di­tions of Par­a­dise per­fec­tion, these su­perb be­ings may em­bark upon the unique ad­ven­ture of con­cept-iden­tity, and they are many times suc­cess­ful in the pro­duc­tion of a new be­ing, a crea­ture-trin­i­tized son.

22:7.3The glo­ri­fied crea­tures who en­gage in such ad­ven­tures of trin­i­ti­za­tion may par­tic­i­pate in only one such ex­pe­ri­ence, whereas with the Par­a­dise De­i­ties there seems to be no limit to the con­tin­ued en­act­ment of trin­i­ti­za­tion episodes. De­ity seems to be lim­ited in just one re­spect: There can be only one Orig­i­nal and In­fi­nite Spirit, only one in­fi­nite ex­ec­u­tive of the united will of the Fa­ther-Son.

22:7.4The as­cen­dant Ad­juster-fused mor­tal fi­nal­i­ters who have at­tained cer­tain lev­els of Par­a­dise cul­ture and spir­i­tual de­vel­op­ment are among those who can es­say to trini­tize a crea­ture be­ing. Mor­tal-fi­nal­i­ter com­pa­nies, when sta­tioned on Par­a­dise, are granted a re­cess ev­ery mil­len­nium of Ha­vona time. There are seven dif­fer­ent ways such fi­nal­i­ters may elect to spend this duty-free pe­riod, and one of these is, in as­so­ci­a­tion with some fel­low fi­nal­i­ter or some Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­ity, to at­tempt the en­act­ment of crea­ture trin­i­ti­za­tion.

22:7.5If two mor­tal fi­nal­i­ters, on go­ing be­fore the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse, demon­strate that they have in­de­pen­dently cho­sen an iden­ti­cal con­cept for trin­i­ti­za­tion, the Ar­chi­tects are em­pow­ered, on their own dis­cre­tion, to pro­mul­gate man­dates per­mit­ting these glo­ri­fied mor­tal as­cend­ers to ex­tend their re­cess and to re­move them­selves for a time to the trini­tiz­ing sec­tor of the Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens. At the end of this as­signed re­treat, if they re­port that they have singly and jointly elected to make the par­a­di­si­a­cal ef­fort to spir­i­tu­al­ize, ide­al­ize, and ac­tu­al­ize a se­lected and orig­i­nal con­cept which has not thereto­fore been trin­i­tized, then does Mas­ter Spirit Num­ber Seven is­sue or­ders au­tho­riz­ing such an ex­traor­di­nary un­der­tak­ing.

22:7.6Un­be­liev­ably long pe­ri­ods of time are some­times con­sumed in these ad­ven­tures; an age seems to pass be­fore these faith­ful and de­ter­mined one­time mor­tals—and some­times Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties—fi­nally achieve their goal, re­ally suc­ceed in bring­ing their cho­sen con­cept of uni­ver­sal truth into ac­tual be­ing. And not al­ways do these de­voted cou­ples meet with suc­cess; many times they fail, and that through no dis­cov­er­able er­ror on their part. Can­di­dates for trin­i­ti­za­tion who thus fail are ad­mit­ted to a spe­cial group of fi­nal­i­ters who are des­ig­nated as be­ings who have made the su­preme ef­fort and sus­tained the su­preme dis­ap­point­ment. When the Par­a­dise De­i­ties unite to trini­tize, they al­ways suc­ceed, but not so with a ho­mo­ge­neous pair of crea­tures, the at­tempted union of two mem­bers of the same or­der of be­ing.

22:7.7When a new and orig­i­nal be­ing is trin­i­tized by the Gods, the di­vine par­ents are in de­ity po­ten­tial un­changed; but when ex­alted crea­ture be­ings en­act such a cre­ative episode, one of the con­tract­ing and par­tic­i­pat­ing in­di­vid­u­als un­der­goes a unique per­son­al­ity mod­i­fi­ca­tion. The two an­ces­tors of a crea­ture-trin­i­tized son be­come in a cer­tain sense spir­i­tu­ally as one. We be­lieve that this sta­tus of bi-uni­fi­ca­tion of cer­tain spir­i­tual phases of per­son­al­ity will prob­a­bly pre­vail un­til such time as the Su­preme Be­ing shall have at­tained full and com­pleted man­i­fes­ta­tion of per­son­al­ity in the grand uni­verse.

22:7.8Si­mul­ta­ne­ously with the ap­pear­ance of a new crea­ture-trin­i­tized son, there oc­curs this func­tional spir­i­tual union of the two an­ces­tors; the two trini­tiz­ing par­ents be­come one on the ul­ti­mate func­tional level. No cre­ated be­ing in the uni­verse can fully ex­plain this amaz­ing phe­nom­e­non; it is a near-di­vine ex­pe­ri­ence. When the Fa­ther and the Son united to eter­nal­ize the In­fi­nite Spirit, upon the ac­com­plish­ment of their pur­pose they im­me­di­ately be­came as one and ever since have been one. And while the trin­i­ti­za­tion union of two crea­tures is on the or­der of the in­fi­nite scope of the per­fect De­ity union of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the Eter­nal Son, the reper­cus­sions of crea­ture trin­i­ti­za­tion are not eter­nal in na­ture; they will ter­mi­nate upon the com­pleted fac­tu­al­iza­tion of the ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­i­ties.

22:7.9While these par­ents of crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons be­come as one in their uni­verse as­sign­ments, they con­tinue to be reck­oned as two per­son­al­i­ties in the make-up and roll calls of the Corps of the Fi­nal­ity and of the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse. Dur­ing the cur­rent uni­verse age, all trin­i­ti­za­tion-united par­ents are in­sep­a­ra­ble in as­sign­ment and func­tion; where one goes the other goes, what one does the other does. If pa­ren­tal bi-uni­fi­ca­tion in­volves a mor­tal (or other) fi­nal­i­ter and a Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­ity, the united pa­ren­tal be­ings func­tion nei­ther with the Par­adis­ers, Havon­ers, nor fi­nal­i­ters. Such mixed unions for­gather in a spe­cial corps made up of sim­i­lar be­ings. And in all trin­i­ti­za­tion unions, mixed or oth­er­wise, the pa­ren­tal be­ings are con­scious of, and can com­mu­ni­cate with, each other, and they can per­form du­ties that nei­ther could have pre­vi­ously dis­charged.

22:7.10The Seven Mas­ter Spir­its have au­thor­ity to sanc­tion the trini­tiz­ing union of fi­nal­i­ters and Par­a­dise-Ha­vona per­son­al­i­ties, and such mixed li­aisons are al­ways suc­cess­ful. The re­sul­tant mag­nif­i­cent crea­ture-trin­i­tized sons are rep­re­sen­ta­tive of con­cepts un­suited to the com­pre­hen­sion of ei­ther the eter­nal crea­tures of Par­a­dise or the time crea­tures of space; hence they be­come the wards of the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse. These trin­i­tized sons of des­tiny em­body ideas, ide­als, and ex­pe­ri­ence which ap­par­ently per­tain to a fu­ture uni­verse age and are there­fore of no im­me­di­ate prac­ti­cal value to ei­ther the su­per- or cen­tral uni­verse ad­min­is­tra­tions. These unique sons of the chil­dren of time and the cit­i­zens of eter­nity are all held in re­serve on Vicegering­ton, where they are en­gaged in the study of the con­cepts of time and the re­al­i­ties of eter­nity in a spe­cial sec­tor of the sphere oc­cu­pied by the se­cret col­leges of the corps of the Cre­ator Sons.

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:

22:7.121. As­cender-trin­i­tized Sons. In their cre­ative ef­forts the fi­nal­i­ters are at­tempt­ing to trini­tize cer­tain con­cep­tual re­al­i­ties of the Al­mighty Su­preme which they have ex­pe­ri­en­tially ac­quired in their as­cen­sion through time and space to Par­a­dise.

22:7.132. Par­a­dise-Ha­vona-trin­i­tized Sons. The cre­ative ef­forts of the Par­a­dise Cit­i­zens and the Havon­ers re­sult in the trin­i­ti­za­tion of cer­tain high spir­i­tual as­pects of the Su­preme Be­ing which they have ex­pe­ri­en­tially ac­quired on a super­su­preme back­ground bor­der­ing on the Ul­ti­mate and the Eter­nal.

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.

23:4.4Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers are of sta­tion­ary num­bers, but the trin­i­ti­za­tion of the sons of des­tiny is ap­par­ently an un­lim­ited tech­nique. Since each trin­i­tized son of des­tiny has as­signed to him a Soli­tary Mes­sen­ger, it ap­pears to us that at some time in the re­mote fu­ture the sup­ply of mes­sen­gers will be­come ex­hausted. Who will take up their work in the grand uni­verse? Will their ser­vice be as­sumed by some new de­vel­op­ment among the In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its? Is the grand uni­verse at some re­mote pe­riod go­ing to be more nearly ad­min­is­tered by Trin­ity-ori­gin be­ings while the sin­gle- and dual-ori­gin crea­tures move on into the realms of outer space? If the mes­sen­gers re­turn to their for­mer ser­vice, will these sons of des­tiny ac­com­pany them? Will the trini­ti­za­tions be­tween fi­nal­i­ters and Par­a­dise-Havon­ers cease when the sup­ply of Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers has been ab­sorbed as guard­ian-com­pan­ions of these sons of des­tiny? Are all our ef­fi­cient Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers go­ing to be con­cen­trated on Vicegering­ton? Are these ex­traor­di­nary spirit per­son­al­i­ties go­ing to be eter­nally as­so­ci­ated with these trin­i­tized sons of un­re­vealed des­tiny? What sig­nif­i­cance should we at­tach to the fact that these cou­ples for­gath­er­ing on Vicegering­ton are un­der the ex­clu­sive di­rec­tion of those mighty mys­tery be­ings, the Ar­chi­tects of the Mas­ter Uni­verse? These and many sim­i­lar ques­tions we ask our­selves, and ask nu­mer­ous other or­ders of ce­les­tial be­ings, but we do not know the an­swers.

30:1.2810. Crea­ture-trin­i­tized Sons.

30:2.628. As­cender-trin­i­tized Sons.

30:2.639. Par­a­dise-Ha­vona-trin­i­tized Sons.

31:5.3These Ma­te­rial Sons are not to be found in many fi­nal­i­ter com­pa­nies. Their pres­ence lends great po­ten­tial to the pos­si­bil­i­ties of high ser­vice for such a group, and they are in­vari­ably cho­sen as its lead­ers. If both of the Edenic pair are at­tached to the same group, they are usu­ally per­mit­ted to func­tion jointly, as one per­son­al­ity. Such as­cen­dant pairs are far more suc­cess­ful in the ad­ven­ture of trini­tiz­ing than are the as­cen­dant mor­tals.
