Deity seeks expression in personalization (16,2), and the Infinite achieves the original threefold personalization of deity, in the face of the inherent indivisibility of deity, by eternalizing the Paradise Trinity. (15,7); (108,3) Since the potentials of this Original Trinity are experiential (15,8) it follows, that when Reality is projected on two subabsolute levels, this act predetermines the sometime appearance of two additional trinities of experiential nature.

The functions of trinity encompass the realities of deity. (16, 2) And, as we have already observed (See Appendix X, §7; Footnote: Trinity and Personality), the apparent pre -requisites for the eventuation of trinity seem to be three deities functioning in relationship to each other, hence operating on the same level of Reality. Two such deities could have a "relationship," but three would eventuate a "system" (1227,7), and it would seem that the appearance of trinity is inherent in the eventuation of such a system. In fact, trinity appears to be that very system.

The three deity presences of the eternal and existential Father, Son, and Spirit, eventuate the Paradise Trinity which is also eternal and existential. The Trinity Ultimate, of subinfinite and experiential status, seems to eventuate because of the emergence of three new deity presences: the deity presences of the Supreme Being, the Architect-Corps, and the SupremeCreator-Corps. These three deity presences seem to be functioning in relation to each other on the same level of reality - a level that is subinfinite and experiential.

The Papers inform us that the Trinity of Trinities is "an existential-experiential Trinity Infinite." (16,7) If this is the case, then it should exhibit some of the characteristics of an experiential trinity. We have observed that experiential trinities seem to pass through three stages of growth: qualified reality, factual reality, and unified reality. (See Appendix XIX, §4; A Comparison of Trinities) We suspect that the threefold trinity is now a qualified reality of some degree, and there is some indication in the Papers that this is the case. (1172,5) We are more interested, however, as to when this multiple-trinity can actually form as a factual reality. We do not believe that this can take place until the three constituent trinities have also formed as factual and actual trinities. This being the case, let us take a quantitative inventory of these trinities and follow this by making a qualitative inventory of these same trinities.

The Paradise Trinity. This is the trinity of the deity-union of the Universal Father, the Eternal Son, and the Infinite Spirit. It has always existed as a factual reality; it is eternal and existential. (91,1)

(b) The Ultimate Trinity. This is the trinity of the deity-union of the Supreme Being, the Supreme-Creator-Corps, and the Architect-Corps. (16,4) It cannot actually form as a factual reality until Supreme Deity has emerged (1291,8), and until the deity of the Supreme-Creator-Corps has evolved. (See Appendix X, §3; Evolution of the Members of the Trinity Ultimate) Presumably, both events will take place at the end of the Second Universe Age, the present age, with the perfecting of the superuniverses. (Here we are assuming that the deity-presence of the Architect-Corps is a completed deity-entity, hence already available for trinity membership.)

(c) The Absolute Trinity. This is the trinity comprised of Supreme Deity, Ultimate Deity, and the Unrevealed Consummator of Universe Destiny. (16,5) It could hardly form as a factual reality until the Ultimate has fully emerged at the end of the Sixth Age, with the final completion of the master universe - from the seven superuniverses to the Quartan Space Level.

In contrast to all this, the Trinity Absolute (as might be deduced from its name) is "absolute in total function" (1168,4), and its objectives are qualitatively absolute and quantitatively infinite. (1168,3)

There is another difference between the two post-Havona trinities; this is a difference in unification. Trinities can form and become factual realities, but experiential trinities still have to earn a unified status before they can become undivided deity - Deity Unity. (641,2) The Ultimate Trinity is subinfinite and is able to unify completely (16,6) because its objectives are also subinfinite. The Absolute Trinity is subinfinite and is not able to unify completely (ibid.) because its objectives are not subinfinite (1168,5), and the final quantitative realization of these objectives would imply the exhaustion of infinity. (1169,3-4); See also Appendix XIX, §6; Non-Unification of the Trinity Absolute )

The Paradise Trinity becomes existent when the Universal Father and the Eternal Son unite in the unlimited act of the deity Trinitization of the Conjoint Actor, their infinite co-ordinate. (90,4); (91,1) What would happen if the Supreme and the Ultimate should engage in a similar deity-trinitizing action?

The Supreme and the Ultimate are subinfinite but (probably) coabsolute beings. (See Appendix XIX, §3; The Growth of the Supreme) The results of a trinitizing action on their part would also be subinfinite, but probably not subabsolute. We believe that their trinitized expression of God the Absolute will be limited in universality (infinity) of reality but not limited in (absolute) quality of being. We have chosen to designate this being as the "trinitized expression of God the Absolute" or, as the "Limited-Absolute." (See Appendix XXV, The Trinitized Nature of God the Absolute)

(b) The Limited-Absolute on the Second Level falls far short of encompassing the whole of the Deity Absolute - much less of all three Absolutes. It has achieved a limited experiential absoluteness of being and function - but not in the universal sense.

(e) The Second Level is pre-unified. We should remember that this level is also the corporative union of three experiential deities, hence trinity. (See Appendix XXIV, The Third Experiential Trinity)

It would still require the independent action of the Paradise Trinity to activate those boundless and untouched potentials of the Deity Absolute that would still be external to the Limited-Absolute, hence also external to the Trinity of Trinities. A beachhead has indeed been established on the shores of infinity, but the establishment of this initial beachhead falls far short of the encompassment of infinity.

(a) The Trinity Absolute. The Second Experiential Trinity is still far from completely unified; it falls very short of any sort of universal function; it is a growing reality, always taking in more and more - but never all. As it continues to grow in unification, this augments the experiential "personality focalization" and "power mobilization" of God the Absolute. (13,1)

(b) God the Absolute is incomplete, hence can grow. He is factually present and can "personally" participate in the furtherance of his growth. (We have used the term "personally" to distinguish such participation from the "prepersonal" growth of the two earlier appearing experiential deities (113,7) prior to their emergence.)

(c) A unique relationship will likely exist between the Trinity Absolute (whose non-unification makes it impossible for God the Absolute to emerge) and the emerged factual presence of the same God the Absolute (as a result of the trinitized expression of the Supreme-Ultimate.)
