105:2.1 In [|considering] the [|genesis] of [|reality], ever bear in [|mind] that all [|absolute] reality is from [|eternity] and is without beginning of [|existence]. By [|absolute] [|reality] we refer to the [|three] [|existential persons of Deity], the [|Isle of Paradise], and the three [|Absolutes]. These [|seven realities] are [|co-ordinately] [|eternal], notwithstanding that we resort to [|time-space] [|language] in presenting their [|sequential] [|origins] to [|human beings].

105:2.2 In following the [|chronological] portrayal of the [|origins] of [|reality], there must be a [|postulated] [|theoretical] [|moment] of "first" [|volitional] [|expression] and "first" repercussional [|reaction] within the [|I AM]. In our attempts to portray the [|genesis] and [|generation] of [|reality], this [|stage] may be conceived as the [|self]-[|differentiation] of The Infinite One from The Infinitude, but the [|postulation] of this [|dual] [|relationship] must always be expanded to a [|triune] [|conception] by the recognition of the eternal [|continuum] of The Infinity, the [|I AM].

105:2.3 This [|self]-[|metamorphosis] of the [|I AM] culminates in the multiple [|differentiation] of deified [|reality] and of undeified reality, of [|potential] and [|actual] reality, and of certain other realities that can hardly be so [|classified]. These [|differentiations] of the [|theoretical] [|monistic] [|I AM] are eternally [|integrated] by [|simultaneous] [|relationships] arising within the same [|I AM]—the prepotential, preactual, prepersonal, monothetic prereality which, though [|infinite], is [|revealed] as [|absolute] in the [|presence] of the [|First Source and Center] and as [|personality] in the limitless [|love] of the [|Universal Father].

105:2.4 By these internal [|metamorphoses] the [|I AM] is [|establishing] the basis for a [|sevenfold] [|self]-[|relationship]. The [|philosophic] ([|time]) [|concept] of the [|solitary] [|I AM] and the [|transitional] (time) [|concept] of the I AM as [|triune] can now be enlarged to encompass the I AM as [|sevenfold]. This [|sevenfold]—or [|seven] phase—[|nature] may be best suggested in [|relation] to the [|Seven Absolutes of Infinity]:
 * 1. 105:2.5 The Universal Father. I AM father of the Eternal Son. This is the primal [|personality] [|relationship] of [|actualities]. The [|absolute] [|personality] of the Son makes absolute the [|fact] of [|God]'s [|fatherhood] and [|establishes] the [|potential] sonship of all [|personalities]. This [|relationship] [|establishes] the [|personality] of the [|Infinite] and [|consummates] its [|spiritual] [|revelation] in the [|personality] of the Original Son. This [|phase] of the [|I AM] is partially experiencible on [|spiritual] levels even by [|mortals] who, while yet in the [|flesh], may [|worship] [|our Father].
 * 2. 105:2.6 //The Universal Controller .// [|I AM] [|cause] of [|eternal] Paradise. This is the primal [|impersonal] [|relationship] of [|actualities], the [|original] nonspiritual [|association]. The Universal Father is [|God]-as-[|love]; the Universal Controller is [|God]-as-[|pattern]. This [|relationship] [|establishes] the [|potential] of [|form]—[|configuration]—and determines the master [|pattern] of [|impersonal] and nonspiritual [|relationship]—the master [|pattern] from which all copies are made.
 * 3. 105:2.7 The Universal Creator . [|I AM] one with the [|Eternal Son]. This [|union] of the Father and the Son (in the [|presence] of Paradise) [|initiates] the [|creative] [|cycle], which is [|consummated] in the [|appearance] of [|conjoint personality] and the [|eternal universe]. From the [|finite] [|mortal]'s [|viewpoint], [|reality] has its true beginnings with the [|eternity] [|appearance] of the Havona [|creation]. This [|creative] [|act] of [|Deity] is by and through the [|God of Action], who is in [|essence] the [|unity] of the Father-Son [|manifested] on and to all [|levels] of the [|actual]. Therefore is [|divine] [|creativity] unfailingly characterized by [|unity], and this unity is the outward [|reflection] of the absolute [|oneness] of the [|duality] of the Father-Son and of the Trinity of the Father-Son-Spirit.
 * 4. 105:2.8 The Infinite Upholder. [|I AM] [|self]-[|associative]. This is the primordial [|association] of the [|statics] and [|potentials] of [|reality]. In this [|relationship], all qualifieds and unqualifieds are [|compensated]. This [|phase] of the [|I AM] is best [|understood] as the Universal Absolute—the unifier of the Deity and the Unqualified Absolutes.
 * 5. 105:2.9 //The Infinite Potential//. [|I AM] self-qualified. This is the [|infinity] bench mark bearing [|eternal] [|witness] to the [|volitional] [|self]-[|limitation] of the [|I AM] by [|virtue] of which there was achieved threefold [|self]-[|expression] and self-[|revelation]. This [|phase] of the [|I AM] is usually [|understood] as the [|Deity Absolute].
 * 6. 105:2.10 //The Infinite Capacity//. [|I AM] static-reactive. This is the endless [|matrix], the [|possibility] for all [|future] [|cosmic] expansion. This [|phase] of the [|I AM] is perhaps best conceived as the supergravity [|presence] of the [|Unqualified Absolute].
 * 7. 105:2.11 //The Universal One of Infinity//. [|I AM] as I AM. This is the [|stasis] or [|self]-[|relationship] of [|Infinity], the eternal [|fact] of infinity-reality and the [|universal] [|truth] of [|reality]-infinity. In so far as this [|relationship] is [|discernible] as [|personality], it is [|revealed] to the [|universes] in the [|divine] [|Father] of all [|personality]—even of [|absolute] personality. In so far as this [|relationship] is [|impersonally] [|expressible], it is contacted by the [|universe] as the absolute [|coherence] of [|pure] [|energy] and of pure [|spirit] in the [|presence] of the [|Universal Father]. In so far as this [|relationship] is conceivable as an [|absolute], it is revealed in the primacy of the [|First Source and Center]; in him we all live and move and have our being, from the [|creatures] of [|space] to the [|citizens] of [|Paradise]; and this is just as true of the [|master universe] as of the infinitesimal [|ultimaton], just as true of [|what is to be] as of [|that which is] and of [|what has been].

106:6.1 The 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].

106:6.2 The [|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].

106:6.3 If we [|assume] a [|cosmos]-[|infinite]—some illimitable cosmos on beyond the [|master universe]—and if we [|conceive][|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]. that the final

106:6.4 Stated 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].

106:6.5 Of 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].

106:6.6 While 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 Absolut] [|e]; 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].
