In the
previous Interim-Papers we have reviewed the meanings of the TRUE WORSHIP of
the Paradise Universal Father, the PRAYER SUPPLICATIONS to the realms of the
Paradise Eternal Son and His Spirit of Truth, and qualified PRAYER
REALIZATIONS by the spirit agencies of the Holy Spirit, the Mind of the
Paradise Conjoint Actor. The following
Interim-Paper is devoted to further enlightenment about the true nature of
God.

10:2 DEITY PERSONALIZATION 10:2.1 By
the technique of trinitization the
Father divests himself of that unqualified spirit personality which is the Son, but in so doing
he constitutes himself the Father of this very Son and thereby possesses
himself of unlimited capacity to become the divine Father of all subsequently
created, eventuated, or other personalized types of intelligent will
creatures. As the absolute and unqualified personality the Father can
function only as and with the Son, but as a personal Father he continues to
bestow personality upon the diverse hosts of the differing levels of
intelligent will creatures, and he forever maintains personal relations of
loving association with this vast family of universe children. 10:2.2 After
the Father has bestowed upon the personality of his Son the fullness of
himself, and when this act of self-bestowal is complete and perfect, of the
infinite power and nature which are thus existent in the Father-Son union,
the eternal partners conjointly bestow those qualities and attributes which
constitute still another being like themselves; and this conjoint
personality, the Infinite Spirit, completes the existential
personalization of Deity. 10:2.3 The
Son is indispensable to the fatherhood of God. The Spirit is indispensable to
the fraternity of the Second and Third Persons. Three persons are a minimum
social group, but this is least of all the many reasons for believing in the
inevitability of the Conjoint Actor. 10:2.4 The
First Source and Center is the infinite father-personality,
the unlimited source personality. The Eternal Son is the unqualified personality-absolute, that divine being who stands throughout all time
and eternity as the perfect revelation of the personal nature of God. The
Infinite Spirit is the conjoint personality, the unique personal consequence
of the everlasting Father-Son union. 10:2.5 The
personality of the First Source and Center is the personality of infinity
minus the absolute personality of the Eternal Son. The personality of the Third Source and Center is the superadditive consequence of the union of the liberated
Father-personality and the absolute Son-personality. 10:2.6 The
Universal Father, the Eternal Son, and the
Infinite Spirit are unique persons; none is a duplicate; each is original;
all are united. 10:2.7 The
Eternal Son alone experiences the fullness of divine personality
relationship, consciousness of both sonship with
the Father and paternity to the Spirit and of divine equality with both
Father-ancestor and Spirit-associate. The Father knows the experience of
having a Son who is his equal, but the Father knows no ancestral antecedents.
The Eternal Son has the experience of sonship,
recognition of personality ancestry, and at the same time the Son is
conscious of being joint parent to the Infinite Spirit. The Infinite Spirit
is conscious of twofold personality ancestry but is not parental to a
co-ordinate Deity personality. With the Spirit the existential cycle of Deity
personalization attains completion; the primary personalities of the Third
Source and Center are experiential and are seven in number. 10:2.8 I
am of origin in the Paradise Trinity. I know the Trinity as unified Deity; I also know that
the Father, Son, and Spirit exist and act in their definite personal
capacities. I positively know that they not only act personally and
collectively, but that they also co-ordinate their performances in various
groupings, so that in the end they function in seven different singular and
plural capacities. And since these seven associations exhaust the
possibilities for such divinity combination, it is inevitable that
the realities of the universe shall appear in seven variations of values, meanings, and personality. |
