117:1.3 The [[grand universe]] contains the [[possibility]] of, and ever seeks for, complete [[unification]], and this [[grows]] out of the [[fact]] that this [[cosmic]] [[existence]] is a consequence of the [[creative]] [[acts]] and the [[power]] [[mandates]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]], which is unqualified [[unity]]. This very trinitarian [[unity]] is [[expressed]] in the finite [[cosmos]] in the [[Supreme]], whose [[reality]] becomes increasingly [[apparent]] as [[the universes]] [[attain]] to the maximum level of [[Trinity]] identification.

117:1.4 The will of the [[Creator]] and the will of the [[creature]] are [[qualitatively]] [[different]], but they are also [[experientially]] [[akin]], for creature and Creator can [[collaborate]] in the [[achievement]] of [[universe]] [[perfection]]. Man can [[work]] in [[liaison]] with [[God]] and thereby [[cocreate]] an [[eternal]] [[finaliter]].

117:1.5 In the [[Supreme Being]], [[Creator]] and [[creature]] are [[united]] in one [[Deity]] whose [[Free will|will]] is [[expressive]] of one [[divine]] [[personality]]. And this will of the [[Supreme]] is something more than the will of either [[creature]] or [[Creator]], even as the [[sovereign]] will of the [[Master Son]] of [[Nebadon]] is now something more than a combination of the will of [[divinity]] and [[humanity]]. The [[union]] of [[Paradise]] [[perfection]] and [[time-space]] [[experience]] yields a new [[meaning]] [[value]] on deity levels of [[reality]].

117:1.6 The [[evolving]] divine [[nature]] of the [[Supreme]] is becoming a [[faithful]] portrayal of the matchless [[experience]] of all [[creatures]] and of all [[Creators]] in the [[grand universe]]. In the [[Supreme]], creatorship and creaturehood are at one; they are forever [[united]] by that [[experience]] which was born of the [[vicissitudes]] attendant upon the solution of the manifold [[problems]] which beset all [[finite]] [[creation]] as it pursues the [[eternal]] [[path]] in [[quest]] of perfection and [[liberation]] from the fetters of incompleteness.

And the final fruits of all [[finite]] [[growth]] are: [[power]] [[controlled]] through [[mind]] by [[spirit]] by [[virtue]] of the [[unifying]] and [[creative]] [[presence]] of [[personality]].

117:4.10 The great [[challenge]] that has been given to [[mortal]] [[man]] is this: Will you [[decide]] to [[personalize]] the experiencible [[value]] [[meanings]] of the [[cosmos]] into your own [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_112#112:2._THE_SELF evolving selfhood]? or by rejecting [[survival]], will you allow these [[secrets]] of [[Supremacy]] to lie dormant, awaiting the [[action]] of another [[creature]] at some other [[time]] who will in his way attempt a [[creature]] [[contribution]] to the [[evolution]] of the [[finite]] [[God]]? But that will be his contribution to the [[Supreme]], not yours.

117:4.11 The great [[struggle]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Chapter_2:_The_Evolutionary_Antithesis this universe age] is between the [[potential]] and the [[actual]]—the seeking for [[actualization]] by all that is as yet unexpressed. If [[mortal]] man [[proceeds]] upon the [[Paradise]] [[adventure]], he is following the [[motions]] of [[time]], which [[flow]] as [[current]]s within the stream of [[eternity]]; if mortal man [[rejects]] the [[eternal career]], he is moving counter to the stream of [[events]] in the [[finite]] [[universes]]. The [[mechanical]] [[creation]] moves on inexorably in [[accordance]] with the [[unfolding]] [[purpose]] of the [[Paradise Father]], but the [[volitional]] [[creation]] has the [[choice]] of [[accepting]] or of [[rejecting]] the role of [[personality]] [[participation]] in the [[adventure]] of [[eternity]]. [[Mortal]] man cannot destroy the [[supreme]] [[values]] of [[human]] [[existence]], but he can very definitely prevent the [[evolution]] of these [[values]] in his own [[personal]] [[experience]]. To the extent that the [[human]] [[self]] thus refuses to take [[part]] in the [[Ascension Career|Paradise ascent]], to just that extent is the [[Supreme]] delayed in [[achieving]] [[divinity]] [[expression]] in the [[grand universe]].

Creatures can [[attain]] the [[Paradise Father]], but their evolutionary [[minds]], being [[finite]], are incapable of really [[understanding]] the [[infinite]] and [[absolute]] [[Father]]. But since all [[creature]] experiencing registers in, and is a [[part]] of, the [[Supreme]], when all creatures attain the final level of finite [[existence]], and after [[total]] [[universe]] [[development]] makes possible their [[attainment]] of ''God the Supreme'' as an [[actual]] [[divinity]] [[presence]], then, [[inherent]] in the [[fact]] of such [[contact]], is contact with [[total]] [[experience]]. The [[finite]] of [[time]] contains within itself the [[seeds]] of [[eternity]]; and we are taught that, when the fullness of [[evolution]] [[witnesses]] the [[exhaustion]] of the [[capacity]] for cosmic [[growth]], the total finite will embark upon the [[absonite]] [[phases]] of the [[eternal]] [[career]] in [[quest]] of [[the Father]] as [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Foreword#IX._GOD_THE_ULTIMATE Ultimate].

==117:6. THE QUEST FOR THE SUPREME==

117:6.1 We [[seek]] the [[Supreme]] in the [[universes]], but we find him not. "He is the within and the without of all things and beings, moving and quiescent. Unrecognizable in his mystery, though distant, yet is he near."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_11] The [[Almighty Supreme]] is "the form of the yet unformed, the pattern of the yet uncreated."[http://www.bartleby.com/45/4/13.html] The [[Supreme]] is your [[universe]] [[home]], and when you find him, it will be like returning home. He is your [[experiential]] [[parent]], and even as in the [[experience]] of [[human being]]s, so has he [[grown]] in the [[experience]] of [[divine]] [[parenthood]]. He knows you because he is creaturelike as well as creatorlike.

117:6.2 If you truly [[desire]] to find [[God]], you cannot help having born in your [[minds]] the [[consciousness]] of the [[Supreme]]. As [[God]] is your [[divine]] [[Father]], so is the [[Supreme]] your [[divine]] [[Mother]], in whom you are nurtured throughout your lives as [[universe]] [[creatures]]. "How [[universal]] is the [[Supreme]]—he is on all sides! The limitless [[things]] of [[creation]] depend on his presence for life, and none are refused."

117:6.4 The [[act]] of the [[creature]]'s [[choosing]] to [[Doing the will of God|do the will of the Creator]] is a [[cosmic]] [[value]] and has a [[universe]] [[meaning]] which is [[immediately]] reacted to by some unrevealed but ubiquitous [[force]] of [[co-ordination]], [[probably]] the [[functioning]] of the ever-enlarging [[action]] of the [[Supreme Being]].
