0:2.1 Evolving [[mortal]] [[creatures]] [[experience]] an irresistible urge to [[symbolize]] their [[finite]] [[concept]]s of [[God]]. Man's [[consciousness]] of [[moral]] [[duty]] and his [[spiritual]] [[idealism]] represent a [[value]] level—an experiential [[reality]]—which is difficult of symbolization.
0:2.2 [[Cosmic consciousness]] implies the recognition of a First Cause, the one and only uncaused reality. God, the [[Universal Father]], [[functions]] on three Deity-personality levels of subinfinite value and [[relative]] divinity [[expression]]:
:1. Prepersonal—as in the ministry of the Father fragments, such as the [[Thought Adjuster]]s.
:2. Personal—as in the [[evolutionary]] [[experience]] of created and procreated beings.
:3. Superpersonal—as in the eventuated existences of certain [[absonite]] and associated beings.
0:2.3 GOD is a [[word]] symbol designating all personalizations of Deity. The term requires a different definition on each personal level of Deity [[function]] and must be still further redefined within each of these levels, as this term may be used to designate the [[diverse]] co-ordinate and subordinate personalizations of Deity; for example: the [[Paradise]] [[Creator Son]]s—the [[local universe]] fathers.
0:2.4 The term God, as we make use of it, may be understood:
0:2.5 By designation—as God [[the Father]].
0:2.6 By [[context]]—as when used in the [[discussion]] of some one deity level or association. When in [[doubt]] as to the exact [[interpretation]] of the word God, it would be advisable to refer it to the [[person]] of the [[Universal Father]].
0:2.7 The term God always denotes [[personality]]. Deity may, or may not, refer to [[divinity]] personalities.
0:2.8 The word GOD is used, in these papers, with the following meanings:
:1. 0:2.9 [[Universal Father|God the Father]]—Creator, Controller, and Upholder. The Universal Father, the [[First Source and Center|First Person of Deity]].
:2. 0:2.10 [[Eternal Son|God the Son]]—Co-ordinate Creator, Spirit Controller, and Spiritual Administrator. The [[Eternal Son]], the Second Person of Deity.
:3. 0:2.11 [[Infinite Spirit|God the Spirit]]—Conjoint Actor, Universal Integrator, and Mind Bestower. The [[Infinite Spirit]], the Third Person of Deity.
:4. 0:2.12 [[God the Supreme]]—the actualizing or evolving God of [[time and space]]. Personal Deity associatively realizing the time-space experiential achievement of creature-Creator [[identity]]. The [[Supreme Being]] is personally experiencing the achievement of Deity [[unity]] as the evolving and experiential God of the evolutionary [[creatures]] of [[time and space]].
:5. 0:2.13 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_0_-_The_Foreword#VIII._GOD_THE_SEVENFOLD God the Sevenfold]—Deity [[personality]] anywhere actually functioning in [[time and space]]. The personal Paradise Deities and their creative associates functioning in and beyond the borders of the central universe and power-personalizing as the [[Supreme Being]] on the first creature level of unifying Deity [[revelation]] in time and space. This level, the [[grand universe]], is the [[sphere]] of the time-space [[Descend|descension]] of [[Paradise]] personalities in reciprocal association with the time-space [[ascension]] of evolutionary creatures.
:6. 0:2.14 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_106#106:4._ULTIMATE_QUARTAN_INTEGRATION God the Ultimate]—the eventuating God of supertime and transcended space. The second experiential level of unifying Deity [[manifestation]]. God the Ultimate implies the attained realization of the synthesized absonite-superpersonal, time-space-transcended, and eventuated-experiential values, co-ordinated on final creative levels of Deity reality.

This is the third level of unifying Deity expression and expansion. On this supercreative level, Deity experiences exhaustion of personalizable potential, encounters completion of divinity, and undergoes depletion of capacity for self-revelation to successive and progressive levels of other-personalization. Deity now encounters, impinges upon, and experiences identity with, the Unqualified Absolute.
