Large as is the master universe, it does have limits. There is an outer-most edge. The last outer space level does come to an end -- somewhere. Given enough time this limit will be reached and, in eternity, we may be sure that there will be "enough time." The master universe is of extraordinary size, and it will take an extraordinary length of time to complete its growth. But, somewhere in the remote regions of outer space it has an end, and expanding growth will eventually reach these most distant regions and will finally come to an end.

==SUMMARY: THE SEVEN LEVELS OF TOTAL DEITY FUNCTION==

==SUMMARY: THE SEVEN LEVELS OF TOTAL DEITY FUNCTION==

I. PRECREATIVE LEVELS. Since these levels are precreative, they are originally occupied by existential Deity before the organization of the master universe. The Associative and the Potential Levels are, later on, also penetrated by experiential Deity, by the Supreme and the Ultimate. (See Second Prologue, Sec. 2., for our original study of these three levels.)

:(1) THE STATIC LEVEL. Here, Deity is quiet and unmoving. No plans have yet been made. God is self existent and self contained. God is!

II. OUTGOING LEVELS. These levels are designated as outgoing, because on them, Deity is expansive and distributive. Here Deity is revealed to creatures, and hereon Deity becomes identified with creatures, goes into partnership with them.

:(4) THE CREATIVE LEVEL. On this level, Deity is beginning to draw upon the Absolutes of Potentiality in bringing new things and new beings into existence. The original expression of creative Deity is God the Sevenfold. (See Chapter 1, Sec. 2; God the Sevenfold. Creative Deity.)

:(5) THE EVOLUTIONAL LEVEL. On this level we encounter creativity linked with time, creativity in which even creatures can participate. 0n this level, even Deity evolves. (See Chapter 2, Sec. 2; God the Sevenfold. Evolutional Deity.)

III. INCOMING LEVELS. These levels are designated incoming, because on them Deity is consolidating and unifying everything that has taken place. The first such consolidation is on finite levels; the second, on absonite levels.

:(6) THE SUPREME LEVEL. This is the level of Deity in relation to the finite. On this level Deity consolidates all of the activities of the finite and unifies them in the Supreme. (See Chapter 3, Sec. 1; The Emergence of the Supreme Being.)

:(7) THE ULTIMATE LEVEL. This is the level of Deity in relation to the absonite. On this level, Deity consolidates all of the activities of the absonite and unifies them in the Ultimate. (See Appendix VI; Universe Ages and the Levels of Total Deity Function.)
