Large as is the master universe, it does have limits. There is an outer-most edge. The last outer space level does come to an end -- somewhere. Given enough time this limit will be reached and, in eternity, we may be sure that there will be "enough time." The master universe is of extraordinary size, and it will take an extraordinary length of time to complete its growth. But, somewhere in the remote regions of outer space it has an end, and expanding growth will eventually reach these most distant regions and will finally come to an end.

The central universe. Now, the central creation should begin to correlate with the post-Havona universes somewhere near its full potential. The divine universe contains much that is superfinite, and some of these meanings and values should become functionally coordinated with the master universe by the end of the Sixth Age. The final emergence of the Ultimate would appear to mark the completion, the end, of all experiential growth of an absonite nature; this must mean the beginning of post-absonite (post-ultimate) growth. Such post-ultimate growth must be super-ltimate, and super-ultimates are absolute or, at the very least, coabsolute or associable-absolute.

We believe this development will open certain phases of Havona life that have been hitherto unpenetrated by experiential beings, phases which are the post-ultimate aspects of Havona life. We are informed that life in the central universe extends in range from the finite to the absolute levels of existence. One thing is certain: there is no development within the master universe (or outside the master universe) that is likely to exceed the capacities and the functions of the pattern universe, the central and divine creation. (See Appendix IV, §4; Havona in the Post Supreme Ages.)

The grand universe. The grand universe probably continues under the rule of the Supreme, and under the over sovereignty of the Ultimate. The superuniverses are now, for the second time, breaking through the experiential barriers to growth. The first break through was at the time of the emergence of the Supreme Being, when absonite growth was superimposed on the finite limitations of settled status in light and life. The second breakthrough is now taking place in connection with the final emergence of the Ultimate, when post-ultimate potentials are superimposed on the experiential limitations of completed absonite growth. This exposes the inner universes to the unfathomable possibilities of coabsolute expansion.

==SUMMARY: THE SEVEN LEVELS OF TOTAL DEITY FUNCTION==

==SUMMARY: THE SEVEN LEVELS OF TOTAL DEITY FUNCTION==

I. PRECREATIVE LEVELS. Since these levels are precreative, they are originally occupied by existential Deity before the organization of the master universe. The Associative and the Potential Levels are, later on, also penetrated by experiential Deity, by the Supreme and the Ultimate. (See Second Prologue, Sec. 2., for our original study of these three levels.)

:(1) THE STATIC LEVEL. Here, Deity is quiet and unmoving. No plans have yet been made. God is self existent and self contained. God is!

II. OUTGOING LEVELS. These levels are designated as outgoing, because on them, Deity is expansive and distributive. Here Deity is revealed to creatures, and hereon Deity becomes identified with creatures, goes into partnership with them.

:(4) THE CREATIVE LEVEL. On this level, Deity is beginning to draw upon the Absolutes of Potentiality in bringing new things and new beings into existence. The original expression of creative Deity is God the Sevenfold. (See Chapter 1, Sec. 2; God the Sevenfold. Creative Deity.)

:(5) THE EVOLUTIONAL LEVEL. On this level we encounter creativity linked with time, creativity in which even creatures can participate. 0n this level, even Deity evolves. (See Chapter 2, Sec. 2; God the Sevenfold. Evolutional Deity.)

III. INCOMING LEVELS. These levels are designated incoming, because on them Deity is consolidating and unifying everything that has taken place. The first such consolidation is on finite levels; the second, on absonite levels.

:(6) THE SUPREME LEVEL. This is the level of Deity in relation to the finite. On this level Deity consolidates all of the activities of the finite and unifies them in the Supreme. (See Chapter 3, Sec. 1; The Emergence of the Supreme Being.)
