0:12.72. The Ab­so­lute Trin­ity—the sec­ond ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­ity—now in pro­cess of ac­tu­al­iza­tion, will con­sist of God the Su­preme, God the Ul­ti­mate, and the un­re­vealed Con­sum­ma­tor of Uni­verse Des­tiny. This Trin­ity func­tions on both per­sonal and super­per­sonal lev­els, even to the bor­ders of the non­per­sonal, and its uni­fi­ca­tion in uni­ver­sal­ity would ex­pe­ri­en­tial­ize Ab­so­lute De­ity.

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.

106:5.1The Ul­ti­mate is the apex of tran­scen­den­tal re­al­ity even as the Su­preme is the cap­stone of evo­lu­tion­ary-ex­pe­ri­en­tial re­al­ity. And the ac­tual emer­gence of these two ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­i­ties lays the foun­da­tion for the sec­ond ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­ity. This is the Trin­ity Ab­so­lute, the union of God the Su­preme, God the Ul­ti­mate, and the un­re­vealed Con­sum­ma­tor of Uni­verse Des­tiny. And this Trin­ity has the­o­ret­i­cal ca­pac­ity to ac­ti­vate the Ab­so­lutes of po­ten­tial­ity—De­ity, Uni­ver­sal, and Un­qual­i­fied. But the com­pleted for­ma­tion of this Trin­ity Ab­so­lute could take place only af­ter the com­pleted evo­lu­tion of the en­tire mas­ter uni­verse, from Ha­vona to the fourth and out­er­most space level.

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.

106:5.3Trin­i­ties are, in and of them­selves, not per­sonal, but nei­ther do they con­tra­vene per­son­al­ity. Rather do they en­com­pass it and cor­re­late it, in a col­lec­tive sense, with im­per­sonal func­tions. Trin­i­ties are, then, al­ways de­ity re­al­ity but never per­son­al­ity re­al­ity. The per­son­al­ity as­pects of a trin­ity are in­her­ent in its in­di­vid­ual mem­bers, and as in­di­vid­ual per­sons they are not that trin­ity. Only as a col­lec­tive are they trin­ity; that is trin­ity. But al­ways is trin­ity in­clu­sive of all en­com­passed de­ity; trin­ity is de­ity unity.

106:5.4The three Ab­so­lutes—De­ity, Uni­ver­sal, and Un­qual­i­fied—are not trin­ity, for all are not de­ity. Only the de­i­fied can be­come trin­ity; all other as­so­ci­a­tions are tri­uni­ties or tri­odi­ties.

106:6.1The pres­ent po­ten­tial of the mas­ter uni­verse is hardly ab­so­lute, though it may well be near-ul­ti­mate, and we deem it im­pos­si­ble to achieve the full rev­e­la­tion of ab­so­lute mean­ing-val­ues within the scope of a sub­ab­so­lute cos­mos. We there­fore en­counter con­sid­er­able dif­fi­culty in at­tempt­ing to con­ceive of a to­tal ex­pres­sion of the lim­it­less pos­si­bil­i­ties of the three Ab­so­lutes or even in at­tempt­ing to vi­su­al­ize the ex­pe­ri­en­tial per­son­al­iza­tion of God the Ab­so­lute on the now im­per­sonal level of the De­ity Ab­so­lute.

106:6.2The space-stage of the mas­ter uni­verse seems to be ad­e­quate for the ac­tu­al­iza­tion of the Su­preme Be­ing, for the for­ma­tion and full func­tion of the Trin­ity Ul­ti­mate, for the even­tu­a­tion of God the Ul­ti­mate, and even for the in­cep­tion of the Trin­ity Ab­so­lute. But our con­cepts re­gard­ing the full func­tion of this sec­ond ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­ity seem to im­ply some­thing be­yond even the wide-spread­ing mas­ter uni­verse.

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.

106:6.4Stated oth­er­wise: The Trin­ity Ab­so­lute, as its name im­plies, is re­ally ab­so­lute in to­tal func­tion. We do not know how an ab­so­lute func­tion can achieve to­tal ex­pres­sion on a qual­i­fied, lim­ited, or oth­er­wise re­stricted ba­sis. Hence we must as­sume that any such to­tal­ity func­tion will be un­con­di­tioned (in po­ten­tial). And it would also ap­pear that the un­con­di­tioned would also be un­lim­ited, at least from a qual­i­ta­tive stand­point, though we are not so sure re­gard­ing quan­ti­ta­tive re­la­tion­ships.

106:6.5Of this, how­ever, we are cer­tain: While the ex­is­ten­tial Par­a­dise Trin­ity is in­fi­nite, and while the ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­ity Ul­ti­mate is subin­fi­nite, the Trin­ity Ab­so­lute is not so easy to clas­sify. Though ex­pe­ri­en­tial in gen­e­sis and con­sti­tu­tion, it def­i­nitely im­pinges upon the ex­is­ten­tial Ab­so­lutes of po­ten­tial­ity.

106:6.6While it is hardly prof­itable for the hu­man mind to seek to grasp such far­away and super­hu­man con­cepts, we would sug­gest that the eter­nity ac­tion of the Trin­ity Ab­so­lute may be thought of as cul­mi­nat­ing in some kind of ex­pe­ri­en­tial­iza­tion of the Ab­so­lutes of po­ten­tial­ity. This would ap­pear to be a rea­son­able con­clu­sion with re­spect to the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute, if not the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute; at least we know that the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute is not only static and po­ten­tial but also as­so­cia­tive in the to­tal De­ity sense of those words. But in re­gard to the con­ceiv­able val­ues of di­vin­ity and per­son­al­ity, these con­jec­tured hap­pen­ings im­ply the per­son­al­iza­tion of the De­ity Ab­so­lute and the ap­pear­ance of those super­per­sonal val­ues and those ul­tra­p­er­sonal mean­ings in­her­ent in the per­son­al­ity com­ple­tion of God the Ab­so­lute—the third and last of the ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­i­ties.

31:9.14The Mas­ter Ar­chi­tects con­tribute tech­ni­cal ap­proval of the as­sign­ment of the Cre­ator Sons to their space sites for the or­ga­ni­za­tion of the lo­cal uni­verses. There is a very close as­so­ci­a­tion be­tween the Mas­ter Ar­chi­tects and the Par­a­dise Cre­ator Sons, and while this re­la­tion­ship is un­re­vealed, you have been in­formed of the as­so­ci­a­tion of the Ar­chi­tects and the grand uni­verse Su­preme Cre­ators in the re­la­tion­ship of the first ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­ity. These two groups, to­gether with the evolv­ing and ex­pe­ri­en­tial Su­preme Be­ing, con­sti­tute the Trin­ity Ul­ti­mate of tran­scen­den­tal val­ues and mas­ter uni­verse mean­ings.

106:8.113. The Ab­so­lute Trin­ity. This is the group­ing of God the Su­preme, God the Ul­ti­mate, and the Con­sum­ma­tor of Uni­verse Des­tiny in re­gard to all di­vin­ity val­ues. Cer­tain other phases of this tri­une group­ing have to do with other-than-di­vin­ity val­ues in the ex­pand­ing cos­mos. But these are uni­fy­ing with the di­vin­ity phases just as the power and the per­son­al­ity as­pects of the ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­i­ties are now in pro­cess of ex­pe­ri­en­tial syn­the­sis.

0:10.1There are many fea­tures of the eter­nal re­al­ity of the De­ity Ab­so­lute which can­not be fully ex­plained to the time-space fi­nite mind, but the ac­tu­al­iza­tion of God the Ab­so­lute would be in con­se­quence of the uni­fi­ca­tion of the sec­ond ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­ity, the Ab­so­lute Trin­ity. This would con­sti­tute the ex­pe­ri­en­tial re­al­iza­tion of ab­so­lute di­vin­ity, the uni­fi­ca­tion of ab­so­lute mean­ings on ab­so­lute lev­els; but we are not cer­tain re­gard­ing the en­com­pass­ment of all ab­so­lute val­ues since we have at no time been in­formed that the Qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is the equiv­a­lent of the In­fi­nite. Super­ul­ti­mate des­tinies are in­volved in ab­so­lute mean­ings and in­fi­nite spir­i­tu­al­ity, and with­out both of these un­achieved re­al­i­ties we can­not es­tab­lish ab­so­lute val­ues.

10:5.7The Trin­ity In­fi­nite in­volves the co-or­di­nate ac­tion of all tri­unity re­la­tion­ships of the First Source and Cen­ter—un­de­i­fied as well as de­i­fied—and hence is very dif­fi­cult for per­son­al­i­ties to grasp. In the con­tem­pla­tion of the Trin­ity as in­fi­nite, do not ig­nore the seven tri­uni­ties; thereby cer­tain dif­fi­cul­ties of un­der­stand­ing may be avoided, and cer­tain para­doxes may be par­tially re­solved.
