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.
*** 10:5.1 The personal Deities have
attributes, but it is hardly consistent to speak of the Trinity
as having attributes. This association of divine beings may more properly be
regarded as having functions, such as justice administration, totality
attitudes, co-ordinate action, and cosmic overcontrol.
These functions are actively supreme, ultimate, and (within the limits of
Deity) absolute as far as all living realities of personality
value are concerned. 10:5.2 The functions of the Paradise Trinity
are not simply the sum of the Father's apparent endowment of divinity
plus those specialized attributes that are unique in the personal existence
of the Son and the Spirit. The Trinity association of the three Paradise Deities
results in the evolution,
eventuation,
and deitization of new meanings,
values,
powers, and capacities for universal revelation, action, and administration.
Living associations, human families, social groups, or the Paradise
Trinity are not augmented by mere arithmetical summation. The group potential
is always far in excess of the simple sum of the attributes of the component
individuals. 10:5.3 The Trinity maintains a
unique attitude as the Trinity towards the entire universe of the past,
present, and future. And the functions of the Trinity can best be considered
in relation to the universe attitudes of the Trinity. Such attitudes are
simultaneous and may be multiple concerning any isolated situation or event: 10:5.4
Attitude
toward the Finite. The maximum self-limitation of the Trinity is its attitude
toward the finite. The Trinity is not a person, nor is the Supreme Being an
exclusive personalization of the Trinity, but the Supreme is the nearest
approach to a power-personality focalization of the Trinity which can be
comprehended by finite creatures. Hence the Trinity in relation to the finite
is sometimes spoken of as the Trinity of Supremacy. 10:5.5
Attitude
toward the Absonite. The 10:5.6
The Absolute Attitude of the 10:5.7 The Trinity Infinite
involves the co-ordinate action of all triunity
relationships of the First Source and
Center—undeified as well as deified—and
hence is very difficult for personalities to grasp. In the contemplation of
the Trinity as infinite, do not ignore the seven triunities; thereby certain difficulties of
understanding may be avoided, and certain paradoxes may be partially
resolved. 10:5.8 But I do not command
language which would enable me to convey to the limited human mind the full
truth and the eternal significance of the |
