Urantia Text [|Forward] [|XII. THE TRINITIES]
0:12.1 The [|original] and eternal Paradise [|Trinity] is [|existential] and was inevitable. This never-beginning Trinity was inherent in the [|fact] of the differentiation of the personal and the nonpersonal by the Father's unfettered will and factualized when his [|personal] will co-ordinated these dual realities by [|mind]. The post-[|Havona] Trinities are experiential—are inherent in the [|creation] of two subabsolute and evolutional levels of power-personality [|manifestation] in the [|master universe]. 0:12.2 The Paradise Trinity—the eternal Deity union of the [|Universal Father], the [|Eternal Son], and the [|Infinite Spirit]—is [|existential] in actuality, but all [|potentials] are [|experiential]. Therefore does this Trinity constitute the only Deity [|reality] embracing [|infinity], and therefore do there occur the [|universe] [|phenomena] of the actualization of [|God the Supreme], [|God the Ultimate], and [|God the Absolute]. 0:12.3 The [|first and second experiential Trinities], the post-[|Havona] Trinities, cannot be infinite because they embrace derived Deities, Deities evolved by the experiential actualization of realities created or eventuated by the existential Paradise Trinity. Infinity of divinity is being ever enriched, if not enlarged, by [|finity] and [|absonity] of [|creature] and [|Creator] [|experience]. 0:12.4 Trinities are [|truths] of [|relationship] and [|facts] of co-ordinate Deity [|manifestation]. Trinity [|functions] [|encompass] Deity realities, and Deity realities always seek [|realization] and manifestation in personalization. God the Supreme, God the Ultimate, and even God the Absolute are therefore divine inevitabilities. These three experiential Deities were potential in the existential [|Trinity], the [|Paradise] Trinity, but their universe emergence as personalities of power is dependent in part on their own experiential functioning in the universes of power and personality and in part on the experiential achievements of the [|post-Havona Creators] and [|Trinities]. 0:12.5 The two post-Havona Trinities, the Ultimate and the Absolute experiential Trinities, are not now fully [|manifest]; they are in [|process] of [|universe] [|realization]. These Deity associations may be described as follows: 0:12.6 1. //The Ultimate Trinity//, now evolving, will eventually consist of the [|Supreme Being], the [|Supreme Creator Personalities], and the [|absonite] [|Architects of the Master Universe], those [|unique] universe planners who are neither creators nor creatures. God the Ultimate will eventually and inevitably powerize and personalize as the Deity consequence of the unification of this experiential Ultimate Trinity in the expanding arena of the well-nigh limitless [|master universe]. 0:12.7 2. //The Absolute Trinity//—the second experiential Trinity—now in process of actualization, will consist of [|God the Supreme], [|God the Ultimate], and the unrevealed [|Consummator of Universe Destiny]. This Trinity functions on both personal and superpersonal levels, even to the borders of the nonpersonal, and its unification in universality would experientialize Absolute Deity. 0:12.8 The Ultimate Trinity is experientially unifying in completion, but we truly doubt the possibility of such full unification of the Absolute Trinity. Our concept, however, of the eternal Paradise Trinity is an ever-present reminder that Deity trinitization may accomplish what is otherwise nonattainable; hence do we postulate the sometime appearance of the Supreme-Ultimate and the possible trinitization-factualization of God the Absolute. 0:12.9 The //**[|philosophers] of the universes**// postulate a [|Trinity of Trinities], an existential-experiential Trinity Infinite, but they are not able to envisage its personalization; possibly it would equivalate to the person of the [|Universal Father] on the conceptual level of the [|I AM]. But irrespective of all this, the original Paradise Trinity is potentially infinite since the Universal Father actually is infinite.

106:8.1 The [|nature] of the [|Trinity of Trinities] is [|difficult] to portray to the [|human] [|mind]; it is the [|actual] summation of the entirety of [|experiential] [|infinity] as such is [|manifested] in a [|theoretical] infinity of [|eternity] [|realization]. In the //Trinity of Trinities// the [|experiential] infinite [|attains] to [|identity] with the [|existential] infinite, and both are as one in the pre-experiential, pre-existential [|I AM]. The //Trinity of Trinities// is the final [|expression] of all that is implied in the [|fifteen triunities] and associated [|triodities]. Finalities are [|difficult] for [|relative] [|beings] to [|comprehend], be they [|existential] or [|experiential]; therefore must they always be presented as relativities. 106:8.2 The //Trinity of Trinities// exists in several [|phases]. It contains [|possibilities], [|probabilities], and [|inevitabilities] that stagger the [|imaginations] of [|beings] far above the [|human] level. It has implications that are probably unsuspected by the [|celestial] [|philosophers], for its implications are in the [|triunities], and the triunities are, in the last [|analysis], unfathomable. 106:8.3 There are a [|number] of ways in which the //Trinity of Trinities// can be portrayed. We elect to present the [|three]-[|level] [|concept], which is as follows: 106:8.4 These are [|levels] of increasing [|unification]. Actually the //Trinity of Trinities// is the first level, while the second and third levels are [|unification]-[|derivatives] of the first. 106:8.9 The [|association] of these [|three Trinities] in the //Trinity of Trinities// provides for a possible unlimited [|integration] of [|reality]. This grouping contains [|causes], intermediates, and finals; inceptors, realizers, and consummators; beginnings, existences, and [|destinies]. [|The Father]-Son [|partnership] has become Son-Spirit and then Spirit-Supreme and on to [|Supreme]-[|Ultimate] and Ultimate-[|Absolute], even to Absolute and [|Father-Infinite]—the completion of the [|cycle] of [|reality]. Likewise, in other [|phases] not so immediately concerned with [|divinity] and [|personality], does the [|First Great Source and Center] [|self]-[|realize] the limitlessness of [|reality] around the [|circle] of [|eternity], from the absoluteness of [|self]-[|existence], through the endlessness of [|self]-[|revelation], to the finality of [|self-realization]—from the absolute of existentials to the finality of experientials. 106:8.14 The [|concept] [|difficulty] regarding this third member is [|inherent] in the [|fact] that the [|presupposition] of such a membership really implies just one [|Absolute]. [|Theoretically], if such an [|event] could take place, we should [|witness] the experiential [|unification] of the [|three Absolutes] as one. And we are taught that, in [|infinity] and existentially, there is one [|Absolute]. While it is least clear as to who this third member can be, it is often [|postulated] that such may consist of the [|Deity, Universal, and Unqualified Absolutes] in some form of unimagined [|liaison] and [|cosmic] [|manifestation]. Certainly, the //Trinity of Trinities// could hardly [|attain] to complete [|function] short of the full [|unification] of the [|three Absolutes], and the three Absolutes can hardly be unified short of the complete [|realization] of all [|infinite] [|potentials]. 106:8.15 It will probably [|represent] a minimum [|distortion] of truth if the third member of the //Trinity of Trinities// is conceived as the [|Universal Absolute], provided this conception envisions the Universal not only as [|static] and [|potential] but also as [|associative]. But we still do not [|perceive] the [|relationship] to the [|creative] and evolutional aspects of the [|function] of [|total Deity]. 106:8.16 Though a completed [|concept] of the //Trinity of Trinities// is difficult to form, a qualified concept is not so difficult. If the second level of the //Trinity of Trinities// is conceived as [|essentially] [|personal], it becomes quite possible to [|postulate] the union of [|God the Supreme], [|God the Ultimate], and [|God the Absolute] as the [|personal] [|repercussion] of the [|union] of the [|personal] Trinities who are ancestral to these experiential Deities. We venture the [|opinion] that these [|three] [|experiential] [|Deities] will certainly unify on the second level as the direct [|consequence] of the [|growing] [|unity] of their [|ancestral] and causative Trinities who constitute the first level. 106:8.17 The first level consists of [|three] [|Trinities]; the second level exists as the [|personality] [|association] of experiential-evolved, experiential-eventuated, and experiential-existential [|Deity] [|personalities]. And regardless of any conceptual [|difficulty] in understanding the complete //Trinity of Trinities//, the [|personal] [|association] of these [|three] [|Deities] on the second level has become [|manifest] to our own universe age in the [|phenomenon] of the deitization of [|Majeston], who was [|actualized] on this second level by the [|Deity Absolute], acting through the [|Ultimate] and in [|response] to the initial [|creative] [|mandate] of the [|Supreme Being]. 106:8.19 In the [|union] of [|the Supreme], [|Ultimate], and the complete [|Absolute], there could occur the [|functional] reassembly of those aspects of [|infinity] which were originally [|segmentalized] by the [|I AM], and which resulted in the [|appearance] of the [|Seven Absolutes of Infinity]. Though the [|universe] [|philosophers] deem this to be a most remote [|probability], still, we often ask this question: If the second level of the //Trinity of Trinities// could ever achieve [|trinity] [|unity], what then would transpire as a [|consequence] of such [|deity] [|unity]? We do not know, but we are [|confident] that it would lead directly to the [|realization] of the [|I AM] as an experiential attainable. From the [|standpoint] of [|personal] [|beings] it could mean that the unknowable [|I AM] had become experiencible as [|the Father]-[|Infinite]. What these [|absolute] [|destinies] might mean from a nonpersonal standpoint is another matter and one which only [|eternity] could possibly [|clarify]. But as we view these remote [|eventualities] as [|personal] [|creatures], we deduce that the final [|destiny] of all [|personalities] is the final knowing of the [|Universal Father] of these selfsame [|personalities]. 106:8.20 As we [|philosophically] conceive of the [|I AM] in [|past] [|eternity], he is alone, there is none beside him. Looking forward into [|future] [|eternity], we do not see that the [|I AM] could possibly change as an [|existential], but we are inclined to [|forecast] a vast experiential [|difference]. Such a [|concept] of the [|I AM] implies full [|self-realization]—it [|embraces] that limitless [|galaxy] of [|personalities] who have become [|volitional] [|participants] in the [|self]-[|revelation] of the [|I AM], and who will remain eternally as [|absolute] [|volitional] [|parts] of the [|totality] of [|infinity], final sons of the [|absolute] [|Father].
 * 1. //The level of the three Trinities//.
 * 2. //The level of experiential Deity//.
 * 3. //The level of the I AM//.
 * 106:8.5 THE FIRST LEVEL: On this initial level of [|association] it is believed that the [|three] [|Trinities] [|function] as perfectly [|synchronized], though distinct, groupings of [|Deity] [|personalities].
 * 1. 106:8.6 //The [|Paradise Trinity]//, the [|association] of the three [|Paradise] [|Deities]—[|Father], [|Son], and [|Spirit]. It should be remembered that the [|Paradise Trinity] implies a threefold [|function]—an [|absolute] [|function], a [|transcendental] function (Trinity of [|Ultimacy]), and a [|finite] function (Trinity of [|Supremacy]). The [|Paradise Trinity] is any and all of these at any and all times.
 * 2. 106:8.7 //The Ultimate Trinity//. This is the [|deity] [|association] of the [|Supreme Creators], [|God the Supreme], and the [|Architects of the Master Universe]. While this is an adequate presentation of the [|divinity] aspects of this [|Trinity], it should be recorded that there are other [|phases] of this [|Trinity], which, however, appear to be perfectly co-ordinating with the [|divinity] aspects.
 * 3. 106:8.8 //The Absolute Trinity//. This is the grouping of [|God the Supreme], [|God the Ultimate], and the [|Consummator of Universe Destiny] in regard to all [|divinity] [|values]. Certain other [|phases] of this [|triune] grouping have to do with other-than-divinity [|values] in the expanding [|cosmos]. But these are unifying with the [|divinity] [|phases] just as the [|power] and the [|personality] aspects of the [|experiential Deities] are now in [|process] of [|experiential] [|synthesis].
 * 2. 106:8.10 THE SECOND LEVEL: The [|co-ordination] of the [|three Trinities] [|inevitably] involves the [|associative] [|union] of the [|experiential Deities], who are genetically associated with these [|Trinities]. The [|nature] of this second level has been sometimes presented as:
 * 1. 106:8.11 //[|The Supreme]//. This is the [|deity] [|consequence] of the [|unity] of the [|Paradise Trinity] in experiential [|liaison] with the Creator-Creative [|children] of the [|Paradise Deities]. [|The Supreme] is the [|deity] [|embodiment] of the completion of the first [|stage] of [|finite] [|evolution].
 * 2. 106:8.12 //[|The Ultimate]//. This is the [|deity] [|consequence] of the [|eventuated] [|unity] of the [|second Trinity], the [|transcendental] and [|absonite] [|personification] of [|divinity]. [|The Ultimate] consists in a variably regarded [|unity] of many qualities, and the [|human] conception thereof would do well to include at least those [|phases] of ultimacy which are [|control] directing, personally experiencible, and tensionally unifying, but there are many other unrevealed aspects of the [|eventuated] [|Deity]. While the [|Ultimate] and the [|Supreme] are comparable, they are not identical, neither is the Ultimate merely an amplification of the Supreme.
 * 3. 106:8.13 //[|The Absolute]//. There are many [|theories] held as to the [|character] of the third member of the second level of the //Trinity of Trinities//. [|God the Absolute] is undoubtedly involved in this [|association] as the [|personality] [|consequence] of the final [|function] of the [|Trinity Absolute], yet the [|Deity Absolute] is an existential [|reality] of [|eternity] [|status].
 * 3. 106:8.18 THE THIRD LEVEL: In an unqualified [|hypothesis] of the second level of the //Trinity of Trinities//, there is [|embraced] the correlation of every [|phase] of every kind of [|reality] that is, or was, or could be in the entirety of [|infinity]. The [|Supreme Being] is not only [|spirit] but also [|mind] and [|power] and [|experience]. The [|Ultimate] is all this and much more, while, in the conjoined [|concept] of the oneness of the [|Deity, Universal, and Unqualified Absolutes], there is included the [|absolute] finality of all [|reality] [|realization].
