Changes

Supreme Deity: At this point in our study we are encountering a new level of the function of total Deity. We have been making careful note of these levels as we have encountered them. We first took note of the static level, then the potential and the associative levels, and then the creative and the evolutional levels. We are now it a point where we can examine the sixth level - the supreme level.

We first took note of the static level, then the potential and the associative levels, and then the creative and the evolutional levels. We are now it a point where we can examine the sixth level - the supreme level.

The first three levels are precreative: static, potential- and associative. They might be likened to the levels on which Deity "unfolded" And prepared for the adventure of expansion into time and space. The next two levels are out-going - creative and evolutional. On these levels God (Deity) is distributing himself to all creation; he is revealing himself to the universes; he is expanding outward into the post-Havona realms; he is going into partnership with his creatures - actually identifying himself with some of them through the indwelling of His spirit, the Adjuster. The activities of Deity on these outgoing levels are, perhaps, best disclosed in the ministry of God the Sevenfold.

Now, on the sixth level, the Supreme level, we observe an incoming-a gathering together of that which has been poured out upon all creation. The Supreme is the first great synthesis, the putting together of the thesis of perfection and the antithesis of imperfection - imperfection which, by evolutionary growth, has achieved a perfected status. On this level even Deity is experiential. On this level God and man can become one, as in the natures of the Paradise Bestowal Sons. (See Appendix VI, § 1; An Analysis of the Seven Levels of Total Deity Function.)
