A: Yes. This close group needs expanding. That is, the people that you [[understand]] and therefore love needs to be expanded as much as you can. If you can know another and [[understand]] and [[love]] that person, you are one step closer to [[doing the will of God]].

==THE TRINITY==

==Session 29==

===Lesson===

===Lesson===

Tonight I wish to explain a very complex concept or universe problem to you. This concept is that of the Trinity, the existential Godhead. This concept of three beings or personalities existent in one functional entity, that is, the Trinity, is a difficult concept to understand. The ancestral one-God being is also ancestral to all absolute concept God-beings at once with the existential Trinity and also the Paradise Isle. I use a temporal term, ancestral, to describe an existential level phenomenon. This term implies a temporal relationship which does not exist, but it is useful in describing these matters to the human intelligence for you have no basis of understanding outside of temporal existence. Eternity is not much more than a word concept in your mind, having never incorporated this level of understanding into your experience consciousness. This understanding is difficult to convey, so I will resort to time usages in order to explain an eternal reality.

The Father of all reality is first, existent. All other relationships stem from Him: absolute, finite, and in between. God the Absolute we think of as being first, that is, the Father splitting from His absoluteness first. Absolute infinity becomes absolute on one level and non-absolute on another. God the Father, though being absolute, retaining absolute, retaining infinity, is freed from totality. Then we see the Paradise Isle for the purpose of material creation. Then we see the Eternal Son, the absolute spirit, spiritual personality, first word of the Father. The first real personal self-expression from the Father is the Eternal Son. The Eternal Son is Father of all spirit personality. Of all spirit, He is the center focal point, Second Source and Center, the Source of Spirit. The Conjoint Actor or Infinite Spirit is the Third Source and Center. He is the center of all mind circuitry of all reality. He is the source of mindal reality as we perceive it. He is the Father of the vast hosts of angelic spirits who minister to mortal man while in the flesh. He is the their source and part of their destiny, also.

This concept of the three Persons of God who is also One is a difficult understanding for mortal mind. They function together very often as the Trinity and then also function in their respective combinations. This functional reality begat the Central Universe of Havona and all the existential, perfect, spirit personalities residing therein.

In the creation of the Superuniverses of matter and will creatures from this material life level of existence, God the Father with God the Son create the Creator Sons who personally create each local universe with its inhabitants. They are the designers of our reality. Your Father, Michael, is one such Divine Son. Do you see that your Father, Christ Michael, your Jesus, rather, on this world, my Father Creator Brother Michael is of a extremely high Divine level? I want you to appreciate this reality. So much time has passed since He walked on this world, and His message is diluted to the point of being almost forgotten, forgotten in the theologies and confusion of religious thought brought about in the last 2000 years. If you look at and study modern religions, they have very little of His original message within their daily teachings. He said, "My Father has sent me into the world that I may be the light of the world," and so now He has sent His representatives into the world that we may rekindle a bit of this light.

Q: Do I understand what you are saying is that God the Father, the Son, and the Spirit could not function until they were separated from the Absoluteness?

Q: Do I [[understand]] what you are saying is that God [[the Father]], [[the Son]], and [[the Spirit]] could not [[function]] until they were [[separated]] from the Absoluteness?

A: We do not say "could not" regarding Father for His abilities are complete. We rather think of this primal separation to be because of His will to manifest Himself, and this created the functional tension required for greater creative capacity. Yes and no.

A: We do not say "could not" regarding Father for His [[abilities]] are complete. We rather think of this primal [[separation]] to be because of His will to [[manifest]] Himself, and this created the [[functional]] [[tension]] required for greater [[creative]] capacity. Yes and no.

Q: Was the tension you talked about between the Father and the Son and the Infinite Spirit, is that the same tension as between the Unqualified Absolute and the Deity Absolute and the Universal Absolute? And if so, is it just basically the power between their relationship that allows it to work? Or is there a better explanation?

Q: Was the tension you talked about between [[the Father]] and [[the Son]] and the [[Infinite Spirit]], is that the same [[tension]] as between the [[Unqualified Absolute]] and the [[Deity Absolute]] and the [[Universal Absolute]]? And if so, is it just basically the [[power]] between their [[relationship]] that allows it to work? Or is there a better [[explanation]]?

A: Yes, you are correct in ascertaining this relationship. It is a tension between opposites or poles which by their interaction enables the creative process to begin. Within each person, for example, there is created the soul. This soul is the creation of the absolute, infinite God fragment, the Thought Adjuster; the mortal mind of matter, the brain; and material thought pattern which exists also within the Infinite Spirit. The Spirit is connected, you see, to the Thought Adjuster, the mortal mind, and is the interacting point between these two beings. This tension interaction, decision making on the mindal plane of reality, is the creator of a new reality, permanent reality, the soul.

Q: The Trinity doesn't have a personality as such, does it?

Q: The [[Trinity]] doesn't have a [[personality]] as such, does it?

A: No.

A: No.

Q: So can God the Father interact at the same time personally as when He is acting as part of the Trinity?

Q: So can [[God the Father]] [[interact]] at the same time personally as when He is [[acting]] as part of the [[Trinity]]?

A: Time is not relevant.

A: Time is not relevant.

Q: How does the Supreme fit in when you were just answering the question about the Thought Adjuster and the mortal combining to form the morontia soul?

Q: How does [[the Supreme]] fit in when you were just answering the question about the [[Thought Adjuster]] and the mortal combining to form the [[morontia soul]]?

A: Yes. The Supreme is the reactor to this tension and growth situation. It is the Supreme which reacts, you may say. The mind acts from the decision within the mind circuits. The Thought Adjuster acts on this. The soul is resulting from this. The Supreme is who reacts to this action and reaction.

A: Yes. [[The Supreme]] is the reactor to this [[tension]] and [[growth]] situation. It is the Supreme which reacts, you may say. The [[mind]] acts from the [[decision]] within the mind circuits.

Q: And you referred to the ancestor God, that is the I AM, the Eternal Infinite?

Q: And you referred to the [[ancestor]] God, that is the [[I AM]], the Eternal Infinite?

A: Yes.

A: Yes.

Q: And in that there is the personal, impersonal, and superpersonal existence. At that level, is this just a potential that later actualizes when the three persons of Deity formed, and in the three impersonal absolutes?

Q: And in that there is the [[personal]], [[impersonal]], and superpersonal [[existence]]. At that level, is this just a [[potential]] that later actualizes when the [[the Gods|three persons of Deity]] formed, and in the [[the Absolutes|three impersonal absolutes]]?

A: Again, we speak of time. Yes and no. Yes, for thought concepts, understanding, no for all are existent reality.

A: Again, we [[speak]] of [[time]]. Yes and no. Yes, for thought concepts, [[understanding]], no for all are existent reality.

Q: Does personal and impersonal exist at the first level, or is that a creation down stream?

Q: Does [[personal]] and [[impersonal]] exist at the first level, or is that a creation down stream?

A: All are existent, always have been and ever will be. There was no time creation element, all are existent forever. For thought process purpose, we use time as illustration.

A: All are existent, always have been and ever will be. There was no time [[creation]] element, all are existent forever. For [[thought]] process [[purpose]], we use time as [[illustration]].

Q: In relationship to that tension that you talked about, that should not be confused with contention, right?

Q: In [[relationship]] to that tension that you talked about, that should not be [[confused]] with contention, right?

A: Correct.

A: Correct.

Q: And to put it in earthly context, it might be a necessary tension like the string on a violin or something that can create a harmonic and have an effect because of the tension, and its very beneficial and necessary.

Q: And to put it in earthly context, it might be a [[necessary]] tension like the string on a violin or something that can create a [[harmonic]] and have an [[effect]] because of the tension, and its very beneficial and [[necessary]].

A: Oh yes. Yes.

A: Oh yes. Yes.
