The Urantia Book -- Foreword
Foreword: Section IX
IX. God The Ultimate
P12:4, 0:9.1 Just as the Supreme Being progressively
evolves from the antecedent divinity endowment of the encompassed grand
universe potential of energy and personality, so does God the Ultimate
eventuate from the potentials of divinity residing in the transcended time-space
domains of the master universe. The actualization of Ultimate Deity signalizes
absonite unification of the first experiential Trinity and signifies unifying
Deity expansion on the second level of creative self-realization. This
constitutes the personality-power equivalent of the universe experiential-Deity
actualization of Paradise absonite realities on the eventuating levels
of transcended time-space values. The completion of such an experiential
unfoldment is designed to afford ultimate service-destiny for all time-space
creatures who have attained absonite levels through the completed realization
of the Supreme Being and by the ministry of God the Sevenfold.
P12:5, 0:9.2 God the
Ultimate is designative of personal Deity functioning on the divinity
levels of the absonite and on the universe spheres of supertime and transcended
space. The Ultimate is a supersupreme eventuation of Deity. The Supreme
is the Trinity unification comprehended by finite beings; the Ultimate
is the unification of the Paradise Trinity comprehended by absonite beings.
P13:1, 0:9.3 The Universal
Father, through the mechanism of evolutionary Deity, is actually engaged
in the stupendous and amazing act of personality focalization and
power mobilization, on their respective universe meaning-levels, of the
divine reality values of the finite, the absonite, and even of the absolute.
P13:2, 0:9.4 The first three
and past-eternal Deities of Paradise -- the Universal Father, the Eternal
Son, and the Infinite Spirit -- are, in the eternal future, to be personality-complemented
by the experiential actualization of associate evolutionary Deities --
God the Supreme, God the Ultimate, and possibly God the Absolute.
P13:3, 0:9.5 God the Supreme
and God the Ultimate, now evolving in the experiential universes, are not
existential -- not past eternals, only future eternals, time-space-conditioned
and transcendental-conditioned eternals. They are Deities of supreme, ultimate,
and possibly supreme-ultimate endowments, but they have experienced historic
universe origins. They will never have an end, but they do have personality
beginnings. They are indeed actualizations of eternal and infinite Deity
potentials, but they themselves are neither unqualifiedly eternal nor infinite.
