Paper 105 Overview: Deity and Reality

Deity and reality are unified through eternal will and spirit purpose. All things emerge from God and return to him through experiential growth, guided by divine pattern and sustained by spiritual power.

Deity and Reality
  • Summary

    Even high universe beings can only partially understand infinity. When humans try to grasp reality, their finite minds face the challenge of understanding infinite concepts. In this paper, we learn about how infinity becomes organized into patterns that allow for the creation of the universe and all its parts.

    The paper explores how the I AM (a way of thinking about the source of all reality) transforms into different forms that make the universe possible. It explains how God relates to other realities and how the universe was made possible through a series of steps, starting with the absolute (unlimited) level and moving to the finite (limited) level where we exist.

  • Introduction

    For even very advanced beings in the universe, infinity is hard to understand completely. The human mind, when trying to understand the mystery of where everything came from and where it's going, might find it helpful to think of infinity like a huge circle created by one absolute cause.

    When human intellect tries to understand all of reality, our limited minds face the unlimited. We can't fully comprehend eternal existence, but this paper attempts to explain these concepts in a way humans might understand, even though the ideas will be simplified.

  • 1. The Philosophic Concept of the I AM

    The Universal Father is seen as the source of all infinity by universe philosophers. The idea of an infinite I AM is very hard for human minds to understand and can lead to misunderstandings, but this concept helps us begin to grasp absolute origins and infinite destinies.

    The I AM is both the Infinite and infinity itself. From our time-based viewpoint, all reality begins with the I AM, whose existence must be the starting point for philosophy. The concept of the I AM means unqualified infinity, the undifferentiated reality of all that could ever exist in infinite eternity.

  • 2. The I AM as Triune and as Sevenfold

    All absolute reality has always existed and has no beginning. This includes the three persons of Deity, Paradise, and the three Absolutes, which have always existed together, even though we describe them in time-space language.

    We can think about the I AM as developing through stages - first as a unity, then as a trinity (three-part relationship), and finally as sevenfold. This sevenfold nature relates to the Seven Absolutes of Infinity, which include the Universal Father, the Eternal Son, the Infinite Spirit, Paradise, and three other Absolutes.

  • 3. The Seven Absolutes of Infinity

    The seven basic relationships within the I AM became the Seven Absolutes of Infinity. Though we have to describe them in sequence, all seven Absolutes have always existed and had no beginning.

    The Seven Absolutes include: the First Source and Center (God), the Second Source and Center (the Eternal Son), the Paradise Source and Center (the eternal Isle of Paradise), the Third Source and Center (the Infinite Spirit), and three other Absolutes that deal with potential and unqualified reality. Together, these seven form the foundation of all reality.

  • 4. Unity, Duality, and Triunity

    Philosophers think about the I AM as the first source of all reality. They believe the I AM divided itself into seven phases, and at the same time, the Seven Absolutes of Infinity appeared.

    The I AM moves from being static (unchanging) to having relationships with itself, and then to having relationships with the Seven Absolutes. These dual relationships created the basic foundations for everything in the universe. Unity creates duality, duality creates triunity, and triunity is the ancestor of all things.

  • 5. Promulgation of Finite Reality

    The creation of finite reality came from the will of Paradise Deity and the adjustments of the functioning triunities. Before finite things existed, all reality existed on absolute levels, but the creation of finite reality meant that some relative things could now exist.

    Finite possibility is built into the Infinite, but turning possibility into reality required the free will of the First Source and Center. With finite reality came something new - the growth cycle - which swings from infinity to the finite level, always seeking to return to its infinite source.

  • 6. Repercussions of Finite Reality

    The creation of finite existences means moving from potentials to actuals within infinity. There were several effects of creating finite reality that rippled throughout existence.

    These effects included: the response of Deity creating experiential supremacy, the response of the universe as the superuniverses began to form, the creation of both perfect and imperfect beings, and a divine response to imperfection. This divine response includes God the Sevenfold, who helps imperfect beings progress toward perfection.

  • 7. Eventuation of Transcendentals

    Transcendentals are between infinite and finite levels of reality. From our viewpoint, they seem to have appeared as a result of the finite, but from an eternal perspective, they came before the finite.

    Transcendental realities include the Deity presence of the Ultimate, the concept of the master universe, the Architects of the Master Universe, and several other realities that go beyond our finite understanding. We live in a universe that exists on finite, transcendental, and absolute levels, where the endless drama of personality and energy unfolds.
