105:2.1 In [[considering]] the [[genesis]] of [[reality]], ever bear in [[mind]] that all [[absolute]] reality is from [[eternity]] and is without beginning of [[existence]]. By [[absolute]] [[reality]] we refer to the [[three]] [[Paradise Trinity|existential persons of Deity]], the [[Isle of Paradise]], and the three [[Absolutes]]. These [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_105#105:3._THE_SEVEN_ABSOLUTES_OF_INFINITY seven realities] are [[co-ordinate]]ly [[eternal]], notwithstanding that we resort to [[time-space]] [[language]] in presenting their [[sequential]] [[origins]] to [[human being]]s.
105:2.2 In following the [[chronological]] portrayal of the [[origins]] of [[reality]], there must be a [[postulated]] [[theoretical]] [[moment]] of "first" [[volitional]] [[expression]] and "first" repercussional [[reaction]] within the [[I AM]]. In our attempts to portray the [[genesis]] and [[generation]] of [[reality]], this [[stage]] may be conceived as the [[self]]-[[differentiation]] of The Infinite One from The Infinitude, but the [[postulation]] of this [[dual]] [[relationship]] must always be expanded to a [[triune]] [[conception]] by the recognition of the eternal [[continuum]] of The Infinity, the [[I AM]].
105:2.3 This [[self]]-[[metamorphosis]] of the [[I AM]] culminates in the multiple [[differentiation]] of deified [[reality]] and of undeified reality, of [[potential]] and [[actual]] reality, and of certain other realities that can hardly be so [[classified]]. These [[differentiations]] of the [[theoretical]] [[monistic]] [[I AM]] are eternally [[integrated]] by [[simultaneous]] [[relationships]] arising within the same [[I AM]]—the prepotential, preactual, prepersonal, monothetic prereality which, though [[infinite]], is [[revealed]] as [[absolute]] in the [[presence]] of the [[First Source and Center]] and as [[personality]] in the limitless [[love]] of the [[Universal Father]].
105:2.4 By these internal [[metamorphoses]] the [[I AM]] is [[establishing]] the basis for a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_0#VIII._GOD_THE_SEVENFOLD sevenfold] [[self]]-[[relationship]]. The [[philosophic]] ([[time]]) [[concept]] of the [[solitary]] [[I AM]] and the [[transitional]] (time) [[concept]] of the I AM as [[triune]] can now be enlarged to encompass the I AM as [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_0#VIII._GOD_THE_SEVENFOLD sevenfold]. This [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_0#VIII._GOD_THE_SEVENFOLD sevenfold]—or [[seven]] phase—[[nature]] may be best suggested in [[relation]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_105#105:3._THE_SEVEN_ABSOLUTES_OF_INFINITY Seven Absolutes of Infinity]:
*1. 105:2.5 ''The Universal Father''. [[I AM]] [[father]] of the [[Eternal Son]]. This is the primal [[personality]] [[relationship]] of [[actualities]]. The [[absolute]] [[personality]] of [[the Son]] makes absolute the [[fact]] of [[God]]'s [[fatherhood]] and [[establishes]] the [[potential]] sonship of all [[personalities]]. This [[relationship]] [[establishes]] the [[personality]] of the [[Infinite]] and [[consummate]]s its [[spiritual]] [[revelation]] in the [[personality]] of the [[Original Son]]. This [[phase]] of the [[I AM]] is partially experiencible on [[spiritual]] levels even by [[mortals]] who, while yet in the [[flesh]], may [[worship]] [[our Father]].
*2. 105:2.6 ''The Universal Controller.'' [[I AM]] [[cause]] of [[eternal]] [[Paradise]]. This is the primal [[impersonal]] [[relationship]] of [[actualities]], the [[original]] nonspiritual [[association]]. The [[Universal Father]] is [[God]]-as-[[love]]; the Universal Controller is [[God]]-as-[[pattern]]. This [[relationship]] [[establishes]] the [[potential]] of [[form]]—[[configuration]]—and determines the master [[pattern]] of [[impersonal]] and nonspiritual [[relationship]]—the master [[pattern]] from which all copies are made.
*3. 105:2.7 ''The Universal Creator''. [[I AM]] one with the [[Eternal Son]]. This [[union]] of [[the Father]] and [[the Son]] (in the [[presence]] of [[Paradise]]) [[initiates]] the [[creative]] [[cycle]], which is [[consummated]] in the [[appearance]] of [[Conjoint Actor|conjoint personality]] and the [[Havona|eternal universe]]. From the [[finite]] [[mortal]]'s [[viewpoint]], [[reality]] has its true beginnings with the [[eternity]] [[appearance]] of the [[Havona]] [[creation]]. This [[creative]] [[act]] of [[Deity]] is by and through the [[God of Action]], who is in [[essence]] the [[unity]] of the Father-Son [[manifested]] on and to all [[levels]] of the [[actual]]. Therefore is [[divine]] [[creativity]] unfailingly characterized by [[unity]], and this unity is the outward [[reflection]] of the [[absolute]] [[oneness]] of the [[duality]] of the Father-Son and of the [[Trinity]] of the Father-Son-Spirit.
*4. 105:2.8 ''The Infinite Upholder''. [[I AM]] [[self]]-[[associative]]. This is the primordial [[association]] of the [[statics]] and [[potentials]] of [[reality]]. In this [[relationship]], all qualifieds and unqualifieds are [[compensated]]. This [[phase]] of the [[I AM]] is best [[understood]] as the [[Universal Absolute]]—the unifier of the [[the Absolutes|Deity and the Unqualified Absolutes]].
*5. 105:2.9 ''The Infinite Potential''. [[I AM]] self-qualified. This is the [[infinity]] bench mark bearing [[eternal]] [[witness]] to the [[volitional]] [[self]]-[[limitation]] of the [[I AM]] by [[virtue]] of which there was achieved threefold [[self]]-[[expression]] and self-[[revelation]]. This [[phase]] of the [[I AM]] is usually [[understood]] as the [[Deity Absolute]].
*6. 105:2.10 ''The Infinite Capacity''. [[I AM]] static-reactive. This is the endless [[matrix]], the [[possibility]] for all [[future]] [[cosmic]] expansion. This [[phase]] of the [[I AM]] is perhaps best conceived as the supergravity [[presence]] of the [[Unqualified Absolute]].
*7. 105:2.11 ''The Universal One of Infinity''. [[I AM]] as I AM. This is the [[stasis]] or [[self]]-[[relationship]] of [[Infinity]], the eternal [[fact]] of infinity-reality and the [[universal]] [[truth]] of [[reality]]-infinity. In so far as this [[relationship]] is [[discernible]] as [[personality]], it is [[revealed]] to the [[universes]] in the [[divine]] [[Father]] of all [[personality]]—even of [[absolute]] personality. In so far as this [[relationship]] is [[impersonall]]y [[expressible]], it is contacted by the [[universe]] as the absolute [[coherence]] of [[pure]] [[energy]] and of pure [[spirit]] in the [[presence]] of the [[Universal Father]]. In so far as this [[relationship]] is conceivable as an [[absolute]], it is revealed in the primacy of the [[First Source and Center]]; in him we all live and move and have our being, from the [[creatures]] of [[space]] to the [[citizens]] of [[Paradise]]; and this is just as true of the [[master universe]] as of the infinitesimal [[ultimaton]], just as true of [[Future|what is to be]] as of [[Present|that which is]] and of [[Past|what has been]].
