117:3.1 The [[cosmic]] [[reality]] variously designated as the [[Supreme Being]], ''God the Supreme'', and the [[Almighty Supreme]], is the [[complex]] and [[universal]] [[synthesis]] of the [[emerging]] [[phases]] of all [[finite]] [[realities]].

117:3.3 Said [[Jesus]]: "I am the living way,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_X] and so he is the living way from the [[material]] [[level]] of [[self-consciousness]] to the [[spiritual]] level of [[God-consciousness]]. And even as he is this living way of [[ascension]] from the [[self]] to [[God]], so is the [[Supreme]] the living way from [[finite]] [[consciousness]] to [[transcendence]] of consciousness, even to the [[insight]] of [[Absonite|absonity]].

117:3.4 Your [[Creator Son]] can [[actually]] be such a living [[channel]] from [[humanity]] to [[divinity]] since he has [[personally]] [[experienced]] the fullness of the [[traversal]] of this [[universe]] [[path]] of [[progression]], from the true [[humanity]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_128#128:1._THE_TWENTY-FIRST_YEAR_.28A.D._15.29 Joshua ben Joseph], the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_129#129:4._THE_HUMAN_JESUS Son of Man], to the [[Paradise]] [[divinity]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_119#119:8._MICHAEL.27S_POSTBESTOWAL_STATUS Michael of Nebadon], the Son of the [[infinite]] [[God]].

117:3.5 [[Mortal]] man is more than [[figurative]]ly made in the [[image]] of [[God]]. From a [[physical]] [[standpoint]] this [[statement]] is hardly true, but with [[reference]] to certain [[universe]] [[potentialities]] it is an [[actual]] [[fact]]. In the human race, something of the same [[drama]] of [[evolutionary]] [[attainment]] is being [[unfolded]] as takes place, on a vastly larger [[scale]], in the [[universe of universes]]. [[Man]], a [[volitional]] [[personality]], becomes [[creative]] in [[liaison]] with an [[Adjuster]], an [[impersonal]] [[entity]], in the [[presence]] of the [[finite]] [[potentialities]] of the [[Supreme]], and the result is the flowering of an [[immortal]] [[soul]]. In the [[universes]] the [[Supreme Creator Personalities|Creator personalities]] of [[time and space]] [[function]] in [[liaison]] with the [[impersonal]] [[spirit]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]] and become thereby [[creative]] of a new [[power]] [[potential]] of [[Deity]] [[reality]].

117:3.7 This is somewhat like the way in which the [[Supreme Being]] expands. His [[sovereignty]] [[grows]] in and out of the [[acts]] and achievements of the [[Supreme Creator Personalities]]; that is the [[evolution]] of the [[majesty]] of his [[power]] as the ruler of the [[grand universe]]. His [[deity]] [[nature]] is likewise dependent on the pre-existent [[unity]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]]. But there is still another aspect to the [[evolution]] of ''God the Supreme'': He is not only [[Creator]]-evolved and [[Trinity]]-derived; he is also self-evolved and self-derived. ''God the Supreme'' is himself a [[volitional]], [[creative]] [[participant]] in his own deity [[actualization]]. The [[human]] [[morontial]] [[soul]] is likewise a [[volitional]], [[cocreative]] [[partner]] in its own immortalization.

117:3.8 [[The Father]] [[collaborates]] with the [[Conjoint Actor]] in [[manipulating]] the [[energies]] of [[Paradise]] and in rendering these [[responsive]] to the [[Supreme]]. [[The Father]] [[collaborates]] with the [[Eternal Son]] in the production of [[Creator]] [[personalities]] whose [[acts]] will sometime culminate in the [[sovereignty]] of the [[Supreme]].

[[The Father]] [[co-operates]] with his Deity and non-Deity [[co-ordinates]] in these and many other ways in the furtherance of the [[evolution]] of [[Supremacy]], but he also [[functions]] alone in these matters. And his [[solitary]] [[function]] is probably best [[revealed]] in the [[ministry]] of the [[Thought Adjusters]] and their associated entities.

117:3.10 The [[Supreme Being]] evolves by [[virtue]] of his [[liaison]] with the [[Paradise Trinity]] and in [[consequence]] of the [[divinity]] successes of the [[creator]] and [[administrator]] [[children]] of that [[Trinity]].

117:3.11 During the [[present universe age]] the [[Supreme Being]] is apparently unable to [[function]] directly as a [[creator]] except in those instances where the [[finite]] [[possibilities]] of [[action]] have been [[exhausted]] by the [[creative]] [[agencies]] of [[time and space]]. Thus far in [[universe]] [[history]] this has transpired but once; when the [[possibilities]] of [[finite]] [[action]] in the matter of [[universe]] [[reflectivity]] had been [[exhausted]], then did the [[Supreme]] function as the creative culminator of all antecedent [[creator]] [[actions]]. And we believe he will again [[function]] as a culminator in [[future]] ages whenever antecedent creatorship has completed an appropriate [[cycle]] of creative [[activity]].

117:3.12 The [[Supreme Being]] did not create [[man]], but man was [[literally]] created out of, his very life was derived from, the [[potentiality]] of the [[Supreme]]. Nor does he evolve man; yet is the [[Supreme]] himself the very [[essence]] of [[evolution]]. From the [[finite]] [[standpoint]], we [[actually]] live, move, and have our [[being]] within the [[immanence]] of the [[Supreme]].
