A sense of destiny in its oldest human sense is in the soldier's [[fatalism|fatalistic]] image of the "bullet that has your name on it" or the moment when your number "comes up," or a romance that was "meant to be." The human sense that there must be a hidden purpose in the random lottery governs the selection of [[Theseus]] to be among the youths to be sacrificed to the Minotaur. Many Greek legends and tales teach the futility of trying to outmaneuver an inexorable fate that has been correctly predicted.

The improbability of [[infinite]] destiny attainment does not in the least prevent the entertainment of [[idea]]s about such destiny, and we do not hesitate to say that, if the three absolute potentials could ever become completely actualized, it would be possible to conceive of the final integration of total [[reality]]. This developmental realization is predicated on the completed actualization of the Unqualified, Universal, and Deity Absolutes, the three potentialities whose union constitutes the latency of the [https://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper105.html#1.%20THE%20PHILOSOPHIC%20CONCEPT%20OF%20THE%20I%20AM I AM], the suspended realities of eternity, the abeyant possibilities of all futurity, and more.
Such eventualities are rather remote to say the least; nevertheless, in the mechanisms, personalities, and associations of the three Trinities we believe we detect the theoretical possibility of the reuniting of the seven absolute phases of the Father-I AM. And this brings us face to face with the concept of the threefold Trinity encompassing the [[Paradise]] [[Trinity]] of existential status and the two subsequently appearing Trinities of experiential nature and origin.[https://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper106.html#7.%20FINALITY%20OF%20DESTINY]
