0:11.1 When the combined [[thought]] of the [[Universal Father]] and the [[Eternal Son]], functioning in the [[God of Action]], constituted the [[creation]] of the divine and [[Havona|central universe]], the Father followed the [[expression]] of his thought into the [[word]] of his Son and the [[act]] of their Conjoint Executive by differentiating his Havona presence from the [[potentials]] of [[infinity]]. And these undisclosed infinity potentials remain space concealed in the [[Unqualified Absolute]] and divinely enshrouded in the [[Deity Absolute]], while these two become one in the functioning of the [[Universal Absolute]], the unrevealed infinity-unity of the Paradise Father.
0:11.2 Both potency of [[cosmic]] [[force]] and potency of spirit force are in process of [[progressive]] [[revelation]]-[[realization]] as the enrichment of all [[reality]] is effected by [[experiential]] [[growth]] and through the correlation of the experiential with the existential by the [[Universal Absolute]]. By [[virtue]] of the equipoising presence of the [[Universal Absolute]], the [[First Source and Center]] realizes extension of experiential power, enjoys identification with his evolutionary creatures, and achieves expansion of experiential Deity on the levels of Supremacy, Ultimacy, and Absoluteness.
0:11.3 When it is not possible fully to distinguish the Deity Absolute from the Unqualified Absolute, their supposedly combined [[function]] or co-ordinated [[presence]] is designated the action of the Universal Absolute.
0:11.4 1. The Deity Absolute seems to be the all-powerful [[Action|activator]], while the Unqualified Absolute appears to be the all-efficient [[Mechanism|mechanizer]] of the supremely unified and ultimately co-ordinated [[universe of universes]], even universes upon universes, made, making, and yet to be made.
0:11.5 The Deity Absolute cannot, or at least does not, react to any universe situation in a subabsolute [[manner]]. Every [[response]] of this Absolute to any given situation appears to be made in terms of the welfare of the whole [[creation]] of [[things]] and [[beings]], not only in its present state of [[existence]], but also in view of the infinite possibilities of all future eternity.
0:11.6 The Deity Absolute is that [[potential]] which was segregated from total, infinite reality by the [[freewill]] choice of the [[Universal Father]], and within which all [[divinity]] activities—[[existential]] and [[experiential]]—take place. This is the Qualified Absolute in contradistinction to the Unqualified Absolute; but the Universal Absolute is superadditive to both in the [[encompassment]] of all absolute potential.
0:11.7 2. The Unqualified Absolute is nonpersonal, extradivine, and undeified. The Unqualified Absolute is therefore devoid of [[personality]], [[divinity]], and all [[creator]] prerogatives. Neither [[fact]] nor [[truth]], [[experience]] nor [[revelation]], [[philosophy]] nor [[absonity]] are able to penetrate the [[nature]] and [[character]] of this [[Absolute]] without universe qualification.
0:11.8 Let it be made clear that the Unqualified Absolute is a positive [[reality]] pervading the [[grand universe]] and, apparently, extending with equal [[space]] [[presence]] on out into the force activities and prematerial evolutions of the staggering stretches of the space regions beyond the [[seven superuniverses]]. The Unqualified Absolute is not a mere [[negativism]] of philosophic concept predicated on the assumptions of metaphysical sophistries concerning the [[universality]], dominance, and primacy of the unconditioned and the unqualified. The Unqualified Absolute is a positive [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_118#118:8._CONTROL_AND_OVERCONTROL universe overcontrol] in [[infinity]]; this overcontrol is space-force unlimited but is definitely conditioned by the presence of life, [[mind]], [[spirit]], and [[personality]], and is further conditioned by the will-[[reaction]]s and [[purpose]]ful [[mandates]] of the Paradise [[Trinity]].
0:11.9 We are convinced that the Unqualified Absolute is not an undifferentiated and all-pervading [[influence]] comparable either to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheism pantheistic] [[concepts]] of metaphysics or to the sometime ether hypothesis of science. The Unqualified Absolute is force unlimited and Deity conditioned, but we do not fully perceive the relation of this Absolute to the spirit realities of the universes.
0:11.10 3. The Universal Absolute, we [[logically]] [[Deduction|deduce]], was inevitable in the [[Universal Father]]'s absolute freewill act of differentiating universe realities into deified and undeified—personalizable and nonpersonalizable—[[values]]. The Universal Absolute is the Deity [[phenomenon]] indicative of the resolution of the [[tension]] created by the freewill act of thus [[Paper 106 - Universe Levels of Reality|differentiating universe reality]], and functions as the associative co-ordinator of these sum totals of existential potentialities.
0:11.11 The tension-presence of the Universal Absolute signifies the adjustment of differential between deity reality and undeified reality inherent in the separation of the [[dynamics]] of freewill [[divinity]] from the [[statics]] of unqualified [[infinity]].
0:11.12 Always [[remember]]: Potential infinity is [[absolute]] and inseparable from eternity. Actual infinity in time can never be anything but partial and must therefore be nonabsolute; neither can infinity of actual personality be absolute except in unqualified Deity. And it is the differential of infinity potential in the Unqualified Absolute and the Deity Absolute that eternalizes the Universal Absolute, thereby making it cosmically possible to have [[material]] [[universes]] in [[space]] and [[spiritually]] possible to have [[finite]] [[personalities]] in [[time]].
0:11.13 The finite can coexist in the [[cosmos]] along with the [[Infinite]] only because the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associativity associative] [[presence]] of the Universal Absolute so perfectly equalizes the tensions between time and eternity, finity and infinity, reality potential and reality actuality, [[Paradise]] and [[space]], man and God. Associatively the Universal Absolute constitutes the identification of the zone of progressing evolutional reality existent in the time-space, and in the transcended time-space, universes of subinfinite Deity manifestation.
0:11.14 The Universal Absolute is the potential of the static-dynamic Deity functionally realizable on time-eternity levels as finite-absolute values and as possible of experiential-existential approach. This incomprehensible aspect of Deity may be [[static]], [[potential]], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associativity associative] but is not experientially [[creative]] or evolutional as concerns the [[intelligent]] [[personalities]] now functioning in the [[master universe]].
0:11.15 The Absolute. The two Absolutes—qualified and unqualified—while so apparently divergent in function as they may be observed by mind creatures, are perfectly and divinely unified in and by the Universal Absolute. In the last [[analysis]] and in the final comprehension all three are one Absolute. On subinfinite levels they are [[functional]]ly differentiated, but in [[infinity]] they are ONE.
0:11.16 We never use the term the Absolute as a [[Absence|negation]] of aught or as a denial of anything. Neither do we regard the Universal Absolute as self-determinative, a sort of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheism pantheistic] and impersonal Deity. The Absolute, in all that pertains to universe personality, is strictly [[Trinity]] limited and Deity dominated.
