God the Sevenfold began to function when the seven superuniverses were organized. This function "will probably expand" with the opening of the outer space levels and the inauguration of the absonite quest for deity. (12,4) What meaning should we attach to the phrase, "will probably expand?" Certainly, this must mean a functional expansion from the grand universe into the outer space creations. This is quantitative expansion. Does it also mean qualitative expansion? If the seven levels of God the Sevenfold now provide for the finite approach to deity, will additional levels to be required for the absonite approach?

==§3. EXPANDING FUNCTION OF THE SUPREME CREATORS==

==§3. EXPANDING FUNCTION OF THE SUPREME CREATORS==

(See Appendix IV, §3; God the Sevenfold) There is no question about the expansion of God the Sevenfold in outer space. The three Paradise Deities are just as much concerned with the outer space universes as with Havona and the superuniverses. God the Supreme will be functioning as the experiential ruler of the grand universe, then in a certain capacity in the master universe, and as a member of the First Experiential Trinity.

We are also informed that the progressive settling of the superuniverses in light and life is attended by a withdrawal of the activities of the Supreme Creators in association with an expansion of the activities of the Supreme Being. (642,6) Now, if the Supreme Creators are progressively withdrawing from the affairs of the present age, this strongly suggests their ministry will expand in the affairs of the outer space universes in the next universe age.

The Master Spirits. When the perfected superuniverses are united under the future administration of God the Supreme, the Master Spirits will continue to be located in the grand universe. (12,3)

This does not, however, mean they could not act in outer space. We may deduce that they are concerned with those segments of outer space which are correlated with their present spheres of superuniverse jurisdiction. (184,11) The Supreme Being may administer the grand universe either with or without the collaboration of the Master Spirits. (643,4) In any event, the collective attributes of the Master Spirits are supreme, ultimate, and supreme-ultimate (186,3); therefore they have full capacity to function throughout all the growth stages of the master creation. (See Appendix XIV; Expanding Influence of the Master Spirits.)

The Ancients of Days. We are informed that, in the next universe age, the Ancients of Days will continue as superuniverse administrators (12,3), but may be superseded in sovereignty by the Supreme Being. In this event, they would function as his vicegerents. (1292,9-11) It does not appear likely that these Trinity-origin rulers of the supercreations will be directly concerned with the affairs of outer space, but we really do not know. It seems more likely that they will be concerned with the outer-spacers who may be traversing the superuniverses on their way in to Havona and Paradise. (163,3)

The Universe Sons and Spirits. The dual creators of the local universes are concerned, along with the Supreme, in the mobilization of all finite resources for the absonite adventure. (12,3) It appears that the Universe Sons and Spirits are destined to outer space. It also appears that there will be more than one kind of Creator Son and Creative Spirit in outer space. We advance the theory that there will be three kinds of Sons and Spirits who will be commissioned in the outer universes. (See Appendix XIII; Evolution of Universe Sons and Spirits) Consider the following line of reasoning:

Son-Spirit Creative Trios. The Creator Sons and Creative Spirits are the beings who have been (or will be) commissioned as the creators of the local universes in the present age, and in the Third Age we believe they will have trinitized a Third Being, a creative associate, by virtue of which they will have become Creative Trios.

==§4. WILL THE SEVENFOLD BECOME TENFOLD IN OUTER SPACE?==

==§4. WILL THE SEVENFOLD BECOME TENFOLD IN OUTER SPACE?==

In Appendix XV; Master Architects and Transcendentalers, note is made of the possible significance of the number ten in relation to the functions of the Supreme Being. We believe that God the Sevenfold may possibly become tenfold in the expanded service of the outer space creations. Certainly the absonite approach to the Universal Father is going to include some features not presently encountered in the finite approach. Consider then, a possible tenfold structure of that which is now sevenfold.
