The Soul: Origin, Evolution and Destiny

Part 8: Technique of Power Growth—Sovereignty—of the Supreme Being

Contents of this study

Via the Great Circuits of Energy, Mind and Spirit

1. Concerning the adjutants of worship and wisdom: While these adjutants never seem to transmit experience from one personality to another, they can and do transmit the impersonal repercussions of decision-action through God the Sevenfold to God the Supreme.

"But these circuits of spiritual ministry, whether Spirit of Truth, Holy Spirit, or Superuniverse presences, are receptive and reactive to the emerging values in ascending personality, and these values are faithfully transmitted through the sevenfold to the Supreme." (1286;6,7)

2. "The Supreme Creators -- Creator Sons, Ancients of Days, Master Spirits -- in their divine unity of power and personality, are constitutive and expressive of a new power potential of experiential Deity. And this power potential of experiential origin finds inevitable and inescapable union with the experiential Deity of Trinity origin -- the Supreme Being." (1270; 2-3)

"God the Supreme, while of origin in the Trinity, becomes manifest to evolutionary creatures as a personality of power only through the co-ordinated functions of the first three levels of God the Sevenfold (the Supreme Creators). The Almighty Supreme (the power part of the Supreme Being) is now factualizing in time and space through the activities of the Supreme Creator personalities." (1270;4,5)

3. "His sovereignty grows in and out of the acts and achievements of the Supreme Creator personalities. That is the evolution of the majesty of his power as the ruler of the grand universe." (1282;3) (See also 1264;6, 1265; #6;3, and 1266; #7;3)

4. "The act of the creature's choosing to do the will of the Creator is a cosmic value and has a universe meaning which is immediately reacted to by some unrevealed but ubiquitous force of co-ordination, probably the functioning of the ever enlarging action of the Supreme Being." (1288;4)

How do these manifold circuits of cosmic ministry register the
facts, meanings, and values of evolutionary experience in the Supreme?

(1) "... we believe that this registry takes place through the person of the Supreme Creators of Paradise origin who are the immediate bestowers of these circuits of time and space. The mind experience accumulations of the seven adjutant mind spirits, in their ministry to the physical level of intellect, are a part of the local universe experience of the Divine Minister, and through this Creative Spirit they probably find registry in the mind of Supremacy. Likewise are the mortal experiences with the Spirit of Truth and the Holy Spirit probably registered by similar techniques in the person of Supremacy." (1287;2)

(2) "... the manifold experiences of all creation become a part of the evolution of Supremacy. Creatures merely utilize the qualities and quantities of the finite an they ascend to the Father. The impersonal consequences of such utilization remain forever a part of the living cosmos -- the Supreme person." (1287;4)

(3) "What man himself takes with him as a personality possession are the character consequences of the experience of having used the mind and spirit circuits of the grand universe in his Paradise ascent. "Cosmically moral and divinely spiritual character represents the creature's capital accumulations of personal decisions which have been illuminated by sincere worship, glorified by intelligent love, and consummated in brotherly service." (1287;5) (4) "Herein lies the great cosmic responsibility of self-conscious personalities --that Supreme Deity is in a certain sense dependent on the choosing of the mortal will. And the mutual progression of creature evolution and of Supreme evolution is faithfully and fully indicated to the Ancients of Days over the inscrutable mechanisms of universe reflectivity." (1284;6)

(5) "... all creature experiencing registers in , and is a part of, the Supreme." (1287;6)
