117:5.6 The [[progressing]] [[personality]] leaves a trail of [[actualized]] [[reality]] as it passes through the [[ascending]] [[levels]] of the [[universes]]. Be they [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_12#12:8._MATTER.2C_MIND.2C_AND_SPIRIT mind, spirit, or energy], the growing [[creations]] of [[time and space]] are [[modified]] by the [[progression]] of [[personality]] through their [[domains]].

117:5.7 The great [[circuits]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_12#12:8._MATTER.2C_MIND.2C_AND_SPIRIT energy, mind, and spirit] are never the permanent [[possessions]] of [[ascending]] [[personality]]; these ministries remain forever a part of [[Supremacy]]. In the [[mortal]] [[experience]] the human [[intellect]] resides in the [[rhythmic]] [[pulsations]] of the [[adjutant mind-spirits]] and [[effects]] its [[decisions]] within the arena produced by encircuitment within this [[ministry]].

117:5.7 The great [[circuits]] of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_12#12:8._MATTER.2C_MIND.2C_AND_SPIRIT energy, mind, and spirit] are never the permanent [[possessions]] of [[ascending]] [[personality]]; these ministries remain forever a part of [[Supremacy]].

117:5.8 And so it is with the [[spiritual]] [[circuits]]: Man utilizes these in his [[ascent]] through the [[universes]], but he never [[possesses]] them as a part of his [[eternal]] [[personality]]. But these [[circuits]] of [[spiritual]] ministry, whether [[Spirit of Truth]], [[Holy Spirit]], or [[superuniverse]] spirit [[presences]], are [[receptive]] and [[reactive]] to the [[emerging]] [[values]] in ascending [[personality]], and these [[values]] are [[faithfully]] [[transmitted]] through [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Foreword#VIII._GOD_THE_SEVENFOLD the Sevenfold] to the [[Supreme]].

117:5.9 While such [[spiritual]] [[influences]] as the [[Holy Spirit]] and the [[Spirit of Truth]] are [[local universe]] ministrations, their [[guidance]] is not wholly confined to the geographic [[limitations]] of a given local [[creation]].

117:5.10 How do these manifold [[circuits]] of [[cosmic]] [[ministry]] register the [[meanings]], [[values]], and [[facts]] of evolutionary [[experience]] in the [[Supreme]]? We are not exactly certain, but we [[believe]] that this registry takes place through the persons of the [[Supreme Creators]] of [[Paradise]] [[origin]] who are the immediate bestowers of these [[circuits]] of [[time and space]]. The [[mind]]-[[experience]] accumulations of the [[seven adjutant mind-spirits]], in their [[ministry]] to the [[physical]] level of [[intellect]], are a part of the [[local universe]] [[experience]] of the [[Divine Minister]], and through this [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_17#17:6._THE_LOCAL_UNIVERSE_CREATIVE_SPIRITS Creative Spirit] they probably find registry in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_116#116:1._THE_SUPREME_MIND mind of Supremacy]. Likewise are [[mortal]] [[experiences]] with the [[Spirit of Truth]] and the [[Holy Spirit]] probably registered by similar [[techniques]] in the [[person]] of [[Supremacy]].

117:5.11 Even the [[experience]] of [[man]] and [[Adjuster]] must find [[echo]] in the [[divinity]] of ''God the Supreme'', for, as the [[Adjusters]] [[experience]], they are like the [[Supreme]], and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_111#111:3._THE_EVOLVING_SOUL evolving soul] of [[mortal]] man is created out of the pre-existent [[possibility]] for such [[experience]] within the [[Supreme]].

117:5.12 In this [[manner]] do the manifold [[experiences]] of all [[creation]] become a part of the [[evolution]] of [[Supremacy]]. [[Creatures]] merely utilize the [[qualities]] and [[quantities]] of the [[finite]] as they [[ascend]] to [[the Father]]; the [[impersonal]] [[consequences]] of such utilization remain forever a part of the living [[cosmos]], the [[Supreme]] [[person]].

117:5.14 The evolving [[Supreme]] will [[eventually]] [[compensate]] [[finite]] [[creatures]] for their inability ever to [[achieve]] more than [[limited]] [[experience]] contact with the [[universe of universes]]. Creatures can [[attain]] the [[Paradise Father]], but their evolutionary [[minds]], being [[finite]], are incapable of really [[understanding]] the [[infinite]] and [[absolute]] [[Father]].
