So often, humans make the mistake of the erroneous philosophical position that if [[God]] is perfect, and he is, that his creation must be perfect. In this way, all human suffering is attributed to God's will and great masses of [[humanity]] have resigned themselves to living without hope that their lives could be better because all that is is the will of the perfect Father so that where there is suffering, injustice, and poverty, these things are wished and willed by God.

There are, in reality, vast [[dimensions|levels]] of [[being]], of [[reality]], between imperfect humanity and perfect spirit and that which intervenes is [[time]] and [[space]]. All that is imperfect, all that is growing and evolving toward perfection contributes to the God-Being who exists in these intervening levels. This God is the trinity in time and space. God, the [[Universal Father]], God the [[Eternal Son]], and God the [[Infinite Spirit]] exist before or outside of [[time and space]]. They created time and space and that part of them which is involved in that [[creation]] lives as the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_115 Supreme Being] in time and space.

The Supreme Being is like that threshing floor that Jesus spoke of, taking the good from all the husks of unreality and making that good real, absorbing that good into himself.As you live your lives, you are working with God in bringing out the [[goodness|good]], the [[truth|true]], and the [[beauty|beautiful]] and leaving behind that which does not contribute to these things. The supreme being will continue in this joint work with each living being until every last piece of the beautiful, the true, and the good is brought forth. This is a level of God that is evolving and he evolves as you evolve. He grows as you grow. The more real, the more perfect you become, the more perfect and real does the supreme become.

The more real, the more [[perfect]] you [[become]], the more perfect and real does the supreme become.

As you exist on this world, there is much that is perplexing, even deplorable. And, in fact, the more of God you become, the more you see to be deplored. But children think what a [[wonder]]ful [[experience]] it is to be a partner with God, to strenuously give to him, to fight on the side of the good, the beautiful, and the true against the partial shadows of [[evil]], confusion, and despair. Even as you look about this room and you see all the [[material]] [[things]], your own [[body|bodies]], these things are partial, they are like the dried husks that envelope the true seeds of reality. And, all that you see here will one day be dust, but that which survives, that which is [[eternal]], is your very own self. Everything that is truly you is good and beautiful and true. And all of this triumph is the triumph of the supreme Being, the evolving God in time and in space.All human beings constantly struggle to find the better way, a way that is slightly truer, more beautiful, and good.

As you struggle in your earthly life to find the better way, you can always ask yourself those questions: Is it true? Does it reflect the beautiful and uphold the good? As you do this in your lives, you will find great peace for life is greatly simplified. Yes, there are moral problems and dilemmas. Yes, there are things vexing to the [[spirit]] and confusing to the [[mind]]. But, if you keep coming back to simplicity, to reflecting [[truth]], loving [[beauty]], and upholding [[goodness]], you will find that forces of the Father are behind you and with you and that there is nothing to fear.Remember, children, you are working not only for yourselves, not only for your own advancement, but for the advancement of God himself in time and space. Every small step that you take in pulling your lives in the direction of the Father reverberates across the universe in the person of the supreme being. For you are not only bettering your own lives, but the lives of countless beings who are also dependent upon the Father and upon the evolving supreme being. For the supreme will not be perfected until every last pilgrim from every last world is safely in the arms of [[Paradise]].

He is the personification of how much we are all dependent upon each other. What you do, how you live in this life, effects the lives of all others, not only on this world, but upon every world, not only on this level of [[existence]], but every level of existence. No one is alone, no one is unconnected to the whole. Remember, as you grow in the spirit, as you augment that which is holy in your lives, you are raising the level of all.
