The Almighty
overcontrol of the grand universe is physical, intellectual, and spiritual.
God the Supreme derives his spirit and personality from the Paradise
Trinity, but the source of his growing power as sovereign of the seven
superuniverses lies in the collective acts of the Creator Sons, the
Ancients of Days, and the Master Spirits.
The experience
of every evolving creature is a phase of the experience of the Almighty
Supreme.
Unqualified
Deity is incomprehensible to evolving creatures. Paradise Deity originated
God the Sevenfold-attenuations of deity that carry the light of life
from Paradise to the evolutionary worlds. Mortals encounter the successive
levels of God the Sevenfold in this order:
1. The Creator
Sons and Creative Spirits
2. The Ancients
of Days
3. The Seven
Master Spirits
4. The Supreme
Being
5. The Conjoint
Actor
6. The Eternal
Son
7. The Universal
Father
The first three
categories are Supreme Creators, the final three are the Paradise
Trinity. God the Supreme links the existential Paradise Trinity with
the experiential Supreme Creators. The Almighty Supreme actualizes
in time and space through the activities of the Supreme Creators,
just as the Conjoint Actor sprang into existence through the will
of the Father and the Son.
The local universes
are laboratories in which the Supreme is achieving deity evolution
through the experiences and progressions of the creatures within them.
The local universes are birthplaces for the personalities farthest
from God, those who are destined to experience the greatest degree
of spiritual ascent in the universe. These same local universes provide
depth of experience for descending personalities as well.
The universes
are not perfect, and the struggle for perfection pertains to the physical
level as well as the intellectual and spiritual levels. The Supreme
is evolving as the overcontroller of the physical power of the grand
universe. In the present universe age, this potential of physical
power appears to be centered in the Seven Supreme Power Directors.
The power directors are devoted to bringing about the material control
of the universes. Established circuits of physical creation are constantly
jeopardized by the appearance of new energy and mass, and because
of this growth, the time-space universe is unsettled. No part of the
whole will find stability until the material creation is complete.
The goal of
the evolutionary universes is the subjugation of energy-matter by
mind and coordination of mind with spirit, by virtue of the creative
unifying presence of personality. In relation to personality, physical
systems become subordinate, mind systems become coordinate, and spirit
systems become directive. On absolute levels, energy and spirit are
one. But as energy and spirit move outward from Paradise, the gulf
between them widens until they are no longer identical. As evidenced
by the work of the power directors, both energy and mass are responsive
to mind; mind intervenes to interrelate mass and energy. The potential
unity of all finite creation is disclosed in the fact that spirit
in volitional personality can strive through mind for mastery of energy-matter.
There is an
interdependence of all forces and personalities throughout the universes.
The wide gulf between energy and spirit in time-space creates experiential
potential for mind to unify physical patterns with spiritual purpose.
Evolutionary experience on finite levels is shared by all, from mortal
man to the Supreme Being. All personally strive in superuniverse achievement,
as all will personally participate in universe destiny.
Man's urge
for God-attainment creates a genuine divinity tension in the cosmos
that can only be resolved by the evolution of an immortal soul. When
all creatures and all Creators in the universe strive for God-attainment,
a profound cosmic tension builds which can find resolution only in
the evolving God of all creatures, the Supreme Being.
