triodities

104:5.12As the tri­uni­ties are pri­mar­ily con­cerned with the func­tional uni­fi­ca­tion of in­fin­ity, so are tri­odi­ties in­volved in the cos­mic ap­pear­ance of ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­i­ties. The tri­uni­ties are in­di­rectly con­cerned, but the tri­odi­ties are di­rectly con­cerned, in the ex­pe­ri­en­tial De­i­ties—Su­preme, Ul­ti­mate, and Ab­so­lute. They ap­pear in the emerg­ing power-per­son­al­ity syn­the­sis of the Su­preme Be­ing. And to the time crea­tures of space the Su­preme Be­ing is a rev­e­la­tion of the unity of the I AM.

115:4.1Any con­sid­er­a­tion of the ori­gins of God the Su­preme must be­gin with the Par­a­dise Trin­ity, for the Trin­ity is orig­i­nal De­ity while the Su­preme is de­rived De­ity. Any con­sid­er­a­tion of the growth of the Su­preme must give con­sid­er­a­tion to the ex­is­ten­tial tri­odi­ties, for they en­com­pass all ab­so­lute ac­tu­al­ity and all in­fi­nite po­ten­tial­ity (in con­junc­tion with the First Source and Cen­ter). And the evo­lu­tion­ary Su­preme is the cul­mi­nat­ing and per­son­ally vo­li­tional fo­cus of the trans­mu­ta­tion—the trans­for­ma­tion—of po­ten­tials to ac­tu­als in and on the fi­nite level of ex­is­tence. The two tri­odi­ties, ac­tual and po­ten­tial, en­com­pass the to­tal­ity of the in­ter­re­la­tion­ships of growth in the uni­verses.

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.

115:6.1The tri­odity of ac­tu­al­ity con­tin­ues to func­tion di­rectly in the post-Ha­vona epochs; Par­a­dise grav­ity grasps the ba­sic units of ma­te­rial ex­is­tence, the spirit grav­ity of the Eter­nal Son op­er­ates di­rectly upon the fun­da­men­tal val­ues of spirit ex­is­tence, and the mind grav­ity of the Con­joint Ac­tor unerringly clutches all vi­tal mean­ings of in­tel­lec­tual ex­is­tence.

115:6.2But as each stage of cre­ative ac­tiv­ity pro­ceeds out through un­charted space, it func­tions and ex­ists far­ther and far­ther re­moved from di­rect ac­tion by the cre­ative forces and di­vine per­son­al­i­ties of cen­tral em­place­ment—the ab­so­lute Isle of Par­a­dise and the in­fi­nite De­i­ties res­i­dent thereon. These suc­ces­sive lev­els of cos­mic ex­is­tence be­come, there­fore, in­creas­ingly de­pen­dent upon de­vel­op­ments within the three Ab­so­lute po­ten­tial­i­ties of in­fin­ity.

115:6.3The Su­preme Be­ing em­braces pos­si­bil­i­ties for cos­mic min­istry that are not ap­par­ently man­i­fested in the Eter­nal Son, the In­fi­nite Spirit, or the non­per­sonal re­al­i­ties of the Isle of Par­a­dise. This state­ment is made with due re­gard for the ab­so­lute­ness of these three ba­sic ac­tu­al­i­ties, but the growth of the Su­preme is not only pred­i­cated on these ac­tu­al­i­ties of De­ity and Par­a­dise but is also in­volved in de­vel­op­ments within the De­ity, Uni­ver­sal, and Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lutes.

115:6.4The Su­preme not only grows as the Cre­ators and crea­tures of the evolv­ing uni­verses at­tain to God­like­ness, but this fi­nite De­ity also ex­pe­ri­ences growth as a re­sult of the crea­ture and Cre­ator mas­tery of the fi­nite pos­si­bil­i­ties of the grand uni­verse. The mo­tion of the Su­preme is two­fold: in­ten­sively to­ward Par­a­dise and De­ity and ex­ten­sively to­ward the lim­it­less­ness of the Ab­so­lutes of po­ten­tial.

115:6.5In the pres­ent uni­verse age this dual mo­tion is re­vealed in the de­scend­ing and as­cend­ing per­son­al­i­ties of the grand uni­verse. The Su­preme Cre­ator Per­son­al­i­ties and all their di­vine as­so­ciates are re­flec­tive of the out­ward, di­verg­ing mo­tion of the Su­preme, while the as­cend­ing pil­grims from the seven super­uni­verses are in­dica­tive of the in­ward, con­verg­ing trend of Su­prem­acy.

115:6.6Al­ways is the fi­nite De­ity seek­ing for dual cor­re­la­tion, in­ward to­ward Par­a­dise and the De­i­ties thereof and out­ward to­ward in­fin­ity and the Ab­so­lutes therein. The mighty erup­tion of the Par­a­dise-cre­ative di­vin­ity per­son­al­iz­ing in the Cre­ator Sons and pow­er­iz­ing in the power con­trol­lers, sig­ni­fies the vast out­surge of Su­prem­acy into the do­mains of po­ten­tial­ity, while the end­less pro­ces­sion of the as­cend­ing crea­tures of the grand uni­verse wit­nesses the mighty in­surge of Su­prem­acy to­ward unity with Par­a­dise De­ity.

115:6.7Hu­man be­ings have learned that the mo­tion of the in­vis­i­ble may some­times be dis­cerned by ob­serv­ing its ef­fects on the vis­i­ble; and we in the uni­verses have long since learned to de­tect the move­ments and trends of Su­prem­acy by ob­serv­ing the reper­cus­sions of such evo­lu­tions in the per­son­al­i­ties and pat­terns of the grand uni­verse.

115:6.8Though we are not sure, we be­lieve that, as a fi­nite re­flec­tion of Par­a­dise De­ity, the Su­preme is en­gaged in an eter­nal pro­gres­sion into outer space; but as a qual­i­fi­ca­tion of the three Ab­so­lute po­ten­tials of outer space, this Su­preme Be­ing is for­ever seek­ing for Par­a­dise co­her­ence. And these dual mo­tions seem to ac­count for most of the ba­sic ac­tiv­i­ties in the pres­ently or­ga­nized uni­verses.

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.

104:5.1There are cer­tain other tri­une re­la­tion­ships which are non-Fa­ther in con­sti­tu­tion, but they are not real tri­uni­ties, and they are al­ways dis­tin­guished from the Fa­ther tri­uni­ties. They are called var­i­ously, as­so­ciate tri­uni­ties, co-or­di­nate tri­uni­ties, and tri­odi­ties. They are con­se­quen­tial to the ex­is­tence of the tri­uni­ties. Two of these as­so­ci­a­tions are con­sti­tuted as fol­lows:

104:5.2The Tri­odity of Ac­tu­al­ity. This tri­odity con­sists in the in­ter­re­la­tion­ship of the three ab­so­lute ac­tu­als:

104:5.31. The Eter­nal Son.

104:5.42. The Par­a­dise Isle.

104:5.53. The Con­joint Ac­tor.

104:5.6The Eter­nal Son is the ab­so­lute of spirit re­al­ity, the ab­so­lute per­son­al­ity. The Par­a­dise Isle is the ab­so­lute of cos­mic re­al­ity, the ab­so­lute pat­tern. The Con­joint Ac­tor is the ab­so­lute of mind re­al­ity, the co-or­di­nate of ab­so­lute spirit re­al­ity, and the ex­is­ten­tial De­ity syn­the­sis of per­son­al­ity and power. This tri­une as­so­ci­a­tion even­tu­ates the co-or­di­na­tion of the sum to­tal of ac­tu­al­ized re­al­ity—spirit, cos­mic, or mindal. It is un­qual­i­fied in ac­tu­al­ity.

104:5.7The Tri­odity of Po­ten­tial­ity. This tri­odity con­sists in the as­so­ci­a­tion of the three Ab­so­lutes of po­ten­tial­ity:

104:5.81. The De­ity Ab­so­lute.

104:5.92. The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute.

104:5.103. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute.

104:5.11Thus are in­teras­so­ci­ated the in­fin­ity reser­voirs of all la­tent en­ergy re­al­ity—spirit, mindal, or cos­mic. This as­so­ci­a­tion yields the in­te­gra­tion of all la­tent en­ergy re­al­ity. It is in­fi­nite in po­ten­tial.

104:5.13[Pre­sented by a Mel­chiz­e­dek of Neb­a­don.]

117:3.2The Su­preme is the di­vine chan­nel through which flows the cre­ative in­fin­ity of the tri­odi­ties that crys­tal­lizes into the galac­tic pan­o­rama of space, against which takes place the mag­nif­i­cent per­son­al­ity drama of time: the spirit con­quest of en­ergy-mat­ter through the me­di­a­tion of mind.

115:3.14It is in the tri­odity of ac­tu­al­ity that the ex­is­tents of the cos­mos have their cen­ter; be it spirit, mind, or en­ergy, all cen­ter in this as­so­ci­a­tion of the Son, the Spirit, and Par­a­dise. The per­son­al­ity of the spirit Son is the mas­ter pat­tern for all per­son­al­ity through­out all uni­verses. The sub­stance of the Par­a­dise Isle is the mas­ter pat­tern of which Ha­vona is a per­fect, and the super­uni­verses are a per­fect­ing, rev­e­la­tion. The Con­joint Ac­tor is at one and the same time the mind ac­ti­va­tion of cos­mic en­ergy, the con­cep­tu­al­iza­tion of spirit pur­pose, and the in­te­gra­tion of the math­e­mat­i­cal causes and ef­fects of the ma­te­rial lev­els with the vo­li­tional pur­poses and mo­tives of the spir­i­tual level. In and to a fi­nite uni­verse the Son, Spirit, and Par­a­dise func­tion in and upon the Ul­ti­mate as he is con­di­tioned and qual­i­fied in the Su­preme.

0:11.41. The De­ity Ab­so­lute seems to be the all-pow­er­ful ac­ti­va­tor, while the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute ap­pears to be the all-ef­fi­cient mech­a­nizer of the su­premely uni­fied and ul­ti­mately co-or­di­nated uni­verse of uni­verses, even uni­verses upon uni­verses, made, mak­ing, and yet to be made.

0:11.5The De­ity Ab­so­lute can­not, or at least does not, re­act to any uni­verse sit­u­a­tion in a sub­ab­so­lute man­ner. Ev­ery re­sponse of this Ab­so­lute to any given sit­u­a­tion ap­pears to be made in terms of the wel­fare of the whole cre­ation of things and be­ings, not only in its pres­ent state of ex­is­tence, but also in view of the in­fi­nite pos­si­bil­i­ties of all fu­ture eter­nity.

0:11.6The De­ity Ab­so­lute is that po­ten­tial which was seg­re­gated from to­tal, in­fi­nite re­al­ity by the free­will choice of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, and within which all di­vin­ity ac­tiv­i­ties—ex­is­ten­tial and ex­pe­ri­en­tial—take place. This is the Qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute in con­tradis­tinc­tion to the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute; but the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute is super­ad­di­tive to both in the en­com­pass­ment of all ab­so­lute po­ten­tial.

0:11.72. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is non­per­sonal, ex­tradi­vine, and un­de­i­fied. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is there­fore de­void of per­son­al­ity, di­vin­ity, and all cre­ator pre­rog­a­tives. Nei­ther fact nor truth, ex­pe­ri­ence nor rev­e­la­tion, phi­los­o­phy nor ab­sonity are able to pen­e­trate the na­ture and char­ac­ter of this Ab­so­lute with­out uni­verse qual­i­fi­ca­tion.

0:11.8Let it be made clear that the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is a pos­i­tive re­al­ity per­vad­ing the grand uni­verse and, ap­par­ently, ex­tend­ing with equal space pres­ence on out into the force ac­tiv­i­ties and pre­ma­te­rial evo­lu­tions of the stag­ger­ing stretches of the space re­gions be­yond the seven super­uni­verses. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is not a mere neg­a­tivism of philo­sophic con­cept pred­i­cated on the as­sump­tions of meta­phys­i­cal soph­ist­ries con­cern­ing the uni­ver­sal­ity, dom­i­nance, and pri­macy of the un­con­di­tioned and the un­qual­i­fied. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is a pos­i­tive uni­verse over­con­trol in in­fin­ity; this over­con­trol is space-force un­lim­ited but is def­i­nitely con­di­tioned by the pres­ence of life, mind, spirit, and per­son­al­ity, and is fur­ther con­di­tioned by the will-re­ac­tions and pur­pose­ful man­dates of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity.

0:11.9We are con­vinced that the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is not an un­dif­fer­en­ti­ated and all-per­vad­ing in­flu­ence com­pa­ra­ble ei­ther to the pan­the­is­tic con­cepts of meta­physics or to the some­time ether hy­poth­e­sis of sci­ence. The Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute is force un­lim­ited and De­ity con­di­tioned, but we do not fully per­ceive the re­la­tion of this Ab­so­lute to the spirit re­al­i­ties of the uni­verses.

0:11.103. The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute, we log­i­cally de­duce, was in­ev­i­ta­ble in the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther’s ab­so­lute free­will act of dif­fer­en­ti­at­ing uni­verse re­al­i­ties into de­i­fied and un­de­i­fied—per­son­al­iz­able and non­per­son­al­iz­able—val­ues. The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute is the De­ity phe­nom­e­non in­dica­tive of the res­o­lu­tion of the ten­sion cre­ated by the free­will act of thus dif­fer­en­ti­at­ing uni­verse re­al­ity, and func­tions as the as­so­cia­tive co-or­di­na­tor of these sum to­tals of ex­is­ten­tial po­ten­tial­i­ties.

0:11.11The ten­sion-pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute sig­ni­fies the ad­just­ment of dif­fer­en­tial be­tween de­ity re­al­ity and un­de­i­fied re­al­ity in­her­ent in the sep­a­ra­tion of the dy­nam­ics of free­will di­vin­ity from the stat­ics of un­qual­i­fied in­fin­ity.

0:11.12Al­ways re­mem­ber: Po­ten­tial in­fin­ity is ab­so­lute and in­sep­a­ra­ble from eter­nity. Ac­tual in­fin­ity in time can never be any­thing but par­tial and must there­fore be non­ab­so­lute; nei­ther can in­fin­ity of ac­tual per­son­al­ity be ab­so­lute ex­cept in un­qual­i­fied De­ity. And it is the dif­fer­en­tial of in­fin­ity po­ten­tial in the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute and the De­ity Ab­so­lute that eter­nal­izes the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute, thereby mak­ing it cos­mi­cally pos­si­ble to have ma­te­rial uni­verses in space and spir­i­tu­ally pos­si­ble to have fi­nite per­son­al­i­ties in time.

0:11.13The fi­nite can co­ex­ist in the cos­mos along with the In­fi­nite only be­cause the as­so­cia­tive pres­ence of the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute so per­fectly equal­izes the ten­sions be­tween time and eter­nity, fin­ity and in­fin­ity, re­al­ity po­ten­tial and re­al­ity ac­tu­al­ity, Par­a­dise and space, man and God. As­so­cia­tively the Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute con­sti­tutes the iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of the zone of pro­gress­ing evo­lu­tional re­al­ity ex­is­tent in the time-space, and in the tran­scended time-space, uni­verses of subin­fi­nite De­ity man­i­fes­ta­tion.

0:11.14The Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lute is the po­ten­tial of the static-dy­namic De­ity func­tion­ally re­al­iz­able on time-eter­nity lev­els as fi­nite-ab­so­lute val­ues and as pos­si­ble of ex­pe­ri­en­tial-ex­is­ten­tial ap­proach. This in­com­pre­hen­si­ble as­pect of De­ity may be static, po­ten­tial, and as­so­cia­tive but is not ex­pe­ri­en­tially cre­ative or evo­lu­tional as con­cerns the in­tel­li­gent per­son­al­i­ties now func­tion­ing in the mas­ter uni­verse.

115:3.83. The Po­ten­tial. The union of the three Ab­so­lutes of po­ten­tial­ity, the De­ity, Un­qual­i­fied, and Uni­ver­sal Ab­so­lutes. This tri­odity of ex­is­ten­tial po­ten­tial­ity con­sti­tutes the po­ten­tial rev­e­la­tion of the orig­i­nal­ity of the First Source and Cen­ter.
