106:9.1 In the [[concept]] of the ''Trinity of Trinities'' we [[postulate]] the [[possible]] [[experiential]] [[unification]] of limitless [[reality]], and we sometimes [[theorize]] that all this may happen in the utter remoteness of far-distant [[eternity]]. But there is nonetheless an [[actual]] and present [[unification]] of [[infinity]] in this very age as in all [[past]] and [[future]] universe ages; such [[unification]] is [[existential]] in the [[Paradise Trinity]]. [[Infinity]] [[unification]] as an experiential [[reality]] is unthinkably remote, but an unqualified [[unity]] of [[infinity]] now [[dominates]] the present [[moment]] of [[universe]] [[existence]] and unites the divergencies of all [[reality]] with an existential [[majesty]] that is [[absolute]].

106:9.2 When [[finite]] [[creatures]] attempt to conceive of infinite [[unification]] on the finality levels of [[consummated]] [[eternity]], they are face to face with [[intellect]] [[limitations]] [[inherent]] in their [[finite]] [[existences]]. [[Time]], [[space]], and [[experience]] [[constitute]] barriers to [[creature]] [[concept]]; and yet, without time, apart from space, and except for [[experience]], no [[creature]] could achieve even a limited [[comprehension]] of [[universe]] [[reality]]. Without time [[sensitivity]], no [[evolutionary]] [[creature]] could possibly [[perceive]] the [[relations]] of [[sequence]]. Without [[space]] [[perception]], no creature could [[fathom]] the relations of [[simultaneity]]. Without [[experience]], no evolutionary [[creature]] could even exist; only the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_105#105:3._THE_SEVEN_ABSOLUTES_OF_INFINITY Seven Absolutes of Infinity] really [[transcend]] [[experience]], and even these may be experiential in certain [[phases]].

106:9.3 [[Time]], [[space]], and [[experience]] are man's greatest aids to [[relative]] [[reality]] [[perception]] and yet his most formidable obstacles to complete [[reality]] [[perception]]. [[Mortals]] and many other [[universe]] [[creatures]] find it [[necessary]] to [[think]] of [[potentials]] as being [[actualized]] in [[space]] and evolving to fruition in [[time]], but this entire [[process]] is a [[time-space]] [[phenomenon]] which does not actually take place on [[Paradise]] and in [[eternity]]. On the [[absolute]] level there is neither time nor space; all [[potentials]] may be there perceived as [[actuals]].

106:9.4 The [[concept]] of the [[unification]] of all [[reality]], be it in this or any other universe age, is basically twofold: [[existential]] and [[experiential]]. Such a [[unity]] is in [[process]] of experiential [[realization]] in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_106#106:8._THE_TRINITY_OF_TRINITIES Trinity of Trinities], but the [[degree]] of the apparent [[actualization]] of this threefold [[Trinity]] is directly [[proportional]] to the disappearance of the qualifications and imperfections of [[reality]] in the [[cosmos]]. But [[total]] [[integration]] of [[reality]] is unqualifiedly and eternally and existentially present in the [[Paradise Trinity]], within which, at this very [[universe]] [[moment]], [[infinite]] [[reality]] is absolutely [[unified]].

106:9.5 The [[paradox]] created by the [[experiential]] and the [[existential]] [[viewpoints]] is [[inevitable]] and is predicated in part on the [[fact]] that the [[Paradise Trinity]] and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_106#106:8._THE_TRINITY_OF_TRINITIES Trinity of Trinities] are each an [[eternity]] [[relationship]] which [[mortals]] can only [[perceive]] as a [[time-space]] [[relativity]].

But how can these two [[viewpoints]] be [[reconciled]]? To finite [[mortals]] we suggest the [[acceptance]] of the [[truth]] that the [[Paradise Trinity]] is the existential [[unification]] of [[infinity]], and that the inability to detect the [[actual]] [[presence]] and completed [[manifestation]] of the [[experiential]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_106#106:8._THE_TRINITY_OF_TRINITIES Trinity of Trinities] is in part due to [[reciprocal]] [[distortion]] because of:

106:9.11 Sooner or later all [[universe]] [[personalities]] begin to [[realize]] that the final [[quest]] of [[eternity]] is the endless [[exploration]] of [[infinity]], the never-ending [[voyage]] of [[discovery]] into the absoluteness of the [[First Source and Center]]. Sooner or later we all become [[aware]] that all [[creature]] [[growth]] is [[proportional]] to [[the Father|Father]] [[identification]]. We arrive at the [[understanding]] that [[living the will of God]] is the eternal [[passport]] to the endless [[possibility]] of [[infinity]] itself. [[Mortals]] will sometime [[realize]] that success in the [[quest]] of the [[Infinite]] is directly [[proportional]] to the achievement of Fatherlikeness, and that in [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Chapter_2:_The_Evolutionary_Antithesis this universe age] the [[realities]] of the Father are revealed within the [[qualities]] of [[divinity]]. And these qualities of divinity are [[personally]] appropriated by [[universe]] [[creatures]] in the [[experience]] of living divinely, and to live divinely means actually to [[live the will of God]].

106:9.12 To [[material]], [[evolutionary]], [[finite]] [[creatures]], a life predicated on the [[living of the Father's will]] leads directly to the [[attainment]] of [[spirit]] [[supremacy]] in the [[personality]] arena and brings such [[creatures]] one step nearer the [[comprehension]] of [[the Father]]-[[Infinite]]. Such a Father life is one predicated on [[truth]], [[sensitive]] to [[beauty]], and [[dominated]] by [[goodness]]. Such a [[God]]-[[knowing]] [[person]] is inwardly [[illuminated]] by [[worship]] and outwardly [[devoted]] to the wholehearted [[service]] of the [[universal]] [[brotherhood]] of all [[personalities]], a [[service]] ministry which is filled with [[mercy]] and [[motivated]] by [[love]], while all these life [[qualities]] are unified in the evolving [[personality]] on ever-[[ascending]] levels of [[cosmic]] [[wisdom]], [[self-realization]], [[God]]-finding, and Father [[worship]].
