Deity is characterized by the [[quality]] of [[unity]]—[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiality_and_actuality_(Aristotle) actual or potential]—on all supermaterial levels of [[reality]]; and this unifying quality is best comprehended by [[creatures]] as [[divinity]].

0:3.13 [[Reality|REALITY]], as comprehended by finite beings, is partial, [[relative]], and [[shadow]]y. The maximum Deity reality fully comprehensible by evolutionary finite creatures is embraced within the [[Supreme Being]]. Nevertheless there are antecedent and [[eternal]] realities, superfinite realities, which are ancestral to this Supreme Deity of evolutionary [[time-space]] [[creatures]]. In attempting to portray the [[origin]] and [[nature]] of [[universal]] [[reality]], we are forced to employ the [[technique]] of time-space [[reason]]ing in order to reach the level of the [[finite]] [[mind]]. Therefore must many of the [[simultaneous]] [[events]] of [[eternity]] be presented as [[Time|sequential]] transactions.

The prepersonal, the personal, and the superpersonal are all linked together by mutual potential of co-ordinate attainment, progressive achievement, and cocreational capacity. But never does the impersonal directly transmute to the personal. Personality is never [[spontaneous]]; it is the gift of the [[Universal Father|Paradise Father]]. Personality is superimposed upon [[energy]], and it is associated only with living [[energy]] [[system]]s; [[identity]] can be associated with nonliving energy [[pattern]]s.

But the [[Isle of Paradise]] is nonpersonal and extraspiritual, being the [[essence]] of the [[universal]] [[body]], the source and center of [[physical]] [[matter]], and the absolute master [[pattern]] of universal [[material]] reality.
