117:2.5 This is not true of the [[finaliters]] nor of any other of the [[evolutionary]] and experiential orders which are [[participants]] in the [[growth]] [[process]] of the [[Supreme]]. You [[mortals]] now living on [[Urantia]] who may [[aspire]] to [[Paradise]] [[attainment]] and [[finaliter]] [[status]] should [[understand]] that such a [[destiny]] is only realizable because you are in and of the [[Supreme]], hence are participants in the [[cycle]] of the [[growth]] of the [[Supreme]].

117:2.6 There will come an end sometime to the [[growth]] of the [[Supreme]]; his [[status]] will achieve completion (in the [[energy]]-[[spirit]] sense). This termination of the evolution of the Supreme will also witness the ending of creature evolution as a part of Supremacy. What kind of growth may characterize the universes of outer space, we do not know. But we are very sure that it will be something very different from anything that has been seen in the present age of the evolution of the seven superuniverses. It will undoubtedly be the function of the evolutionary citizens of the grand universe to compensate the outer-spacers for this deprivation of the growth of Supremacy.

117:2.7 As existent upon the consummation of the present universe age, the Supreme Being will function as an experiential sovereign in the grand universe. Outer-spacers—citizens of the next universe age—will have a postsuperuniverse growth potential, a capacity for evolutionary attainment presupposing the sovereignty of the Almighty Supreme, hence excluding creature participation in the power-personality synthesis of the present universe age.

117:2.8 Thus may the incompleteness of the Supreme be regarded as a virtue since it makes possible the evolutionary growth of the creature-creation of the present universes. Emptiness does have its virtue, for it may become experientially filled.

117:2.9 One of the most intriguing questions in finite philosophy is this: Does the Supreme Being actualize in response to the evolution of the grand universe, or does this finite cosmos progressively evolve in response to the gradual actualization of the Supreme? Or is it possible that they are mutually interdependent for their development? that they are evolutionary reciprocals, each initiating the growth of the other? Of this we are certain: Creatures and universes, high and low, are evolving within the Supreme, and as they evolve, there is appearing the unified summation of the entire finite activity of this universe age. And this is the appearance of the Supreme Being, to all personalities the evolution of the almighty power of God the Supreme.
