P1294:1, 118:0.1
Concerning the several natures of Deity, it may be said:
P1294:2, 118:0.2
1. The Father is self-existent self.
P1294:3, 118:0.3
2. The Son is coexistent self.
P1294:4, 118:0.4
3. The Spirit is
conjoint-existent self.
P1294:5, 118:0.5
4. The Supreme is evolutionary-experiential self.
P1294:6, 118:0.6
5. The Sevenfold is self-distributive divinity.
P1294:7, 118:0.7
6. The Ultimate is
transcendental-experiential self.
P1294:8, 118:0.8
7. The Absolute is existential-experiential self.
P1294:9, 118:0.9
While God the Sevenfold is indispensable to the evolutionary attainment of
the Supreme, the Supreme is also indispensable to the eventual emergence of
the Ultimate. And the dual presence of the Supreme and the Ultimate constitutes
the basic association of subabsolute and derived Deity, for they are interdependently
complemental in the attainment of destiny. Together they constitute the experiential
bridge linking the beginnings and the
completions of all creative growth in
the master universe.
P1294:10, 118:0.10
Creative growth is unending but ever satisfying, endless in extent but always
punctuated by those
personality-satisfying moments of transient goal attainment
which serve so effectively as the mobilization preludes to new adventures
in cosmic growth, universe exploration, and Deity attainment.
P1294:11, 118:0.11
While the domain of mathematics is beset with qualitative limitations, it
does provide the finite mind with a conceptual basis of contemplating infinity.
There is no quantitative limitation to numbers, even in the comprehension
of the finite mind. No matter how large the number conceived, you can always
envisage one more being added. And also, you can comprehend that that is short
of infinity, for no matter how many times you repeat this addition to number,
still always one more can be added.
P1294:12, 118:0.12
At the same time, the infinite series can be totaled at any given point, and
this total (more properly, a
subtotal) provides the fullness of the sweetness
of goal attainment for a given person at a given time and status. But sooner
or later, this same person begins to hunger and yearn for new and greater
goals, and such adventures in growth will be forever forthcoming in the fullness
of time and the cycles of eternity.
P1294:13, 118:0.13
Each successive universe age is the
antechamber of the following era of cosmic
growth, and each universe epoch provides immediate destiny for all preceding
stages. Havona, in and of itself, is a perfect, but
perfection-limited, creation;
Havona perfection, expanding out into the evolutionary superuniverses, finds
not only cosmic destiny but also liberation from the limitations of
pre-evolutionary
existence.
