117:4.12 Into the keeping of [[mortal]] [[man]] has been given not only the [[Adjuster]] [[presence]] of the [[Paradise Father]] but also [[control]] over the [[destiny]] of an infinitesimal [[fraction]] of the [[future]] of the [[Supreme]]. For as [[man]] [[attains]] [[human]] [[destiny]], so does the [[Supreme]] [[achieve]] [[destiny]] on [[deity]] [[levels]].

117:4.13 And so the [[decision]] awaits each of you as it once awaited each of us: Will you fail the [[God]] of [[time]], who is so dependent upon the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_111#111:1._THE_MIND_ARENA_OF_CHOICE decisions of the finite mind]? will you fail the [[Supreme]] [[personality]] of the [[universes]] by the [[slothfulness]] of animalistic [[retrogression]]? will you fail the great [[brother]] of all [[creatures]], who is so dependent on each [[creature]]? can you allow yourself to pass into the realm of the unrealized when before you lies the enchanting vista of the [Ascension Career|universe career]]—the [[divine]] [[discovery]] of the [[Paradise Father]] and the [[divine]] [[participation]] in the search for, and the [[evolution]] of, the [[God]] of [[Supremacy]]?

117:4.14 [[God]]'s [[gifts]]—his [[bestowal]] of [[reality]]—are not [[divorce]]ments from himself; he does not [[alienate]] [[creation]] from himself, but he has set up [[tensions]] in the creations [[Orbit|circling]] [[Paradise]]. [[God]] first [[loves]] [[man]] and confers upon him the [[potential]] of [[immortality]]—[[eternal]] [[reality]]. And as [[man]] [[loves]] [[God]], so does man become [[eternal]] in [[actuality]]. And here is [[mystery]]: The more closely man approaches [[God]] through [[love]], the greater the [[reality]]—[[actuality]]—of that man. The more man withdraws from [[God]], the more nearly he approaches nonreality—cessation of [[existence]]. When man [[consecrates]] his will to the [[doing of the Father's will]], when [[man]] gives [[God]] all that he has, then does God make that man more than he is.
