Thanks Bonita, Mara, and Nigel….fascinating topic and discussion. So much to consider. I think that facts are important to reality recognition while truth is reality response – which includes discovery/discernment/recognition and then a behavioral or free will choice adjustment that is a result of experiential outcomes to the choices made, all while in the on-rushing current of choice and relationship and outcome intersections. The recognition of reality is the first step to cosmic citizenship and the primal connection to Diety, or a feeling of belonging within the reality, and that feeling should lead to reality response….which begins the process of soul growth, circle progress, and material attachment transcendence – transference of the seat of identity.
The fact-set presented in the UB is given to eliminate errors and reduce confusions by presenting both a picture of reality – the who’s, when’s, where’s, how’s, and why’s – of the cosmos that is source, history, and destiny of the each and the all – and the truths that are to be discovered and applied by our experience within that actual and factual reality – the results of free will choice. There are trillions of trillions of beings engaged in this experiential discovery of truth and each does so uniquely and personally and partially and progressively. There is a limited fact-set within reality but there is a limitless truth-set. And this, I think, is where the Supreme becomes a wild card that is not factual, but is factualizing (actualizing) – the universe reservoir of all truth experience of all creatures, high and low. But the Supreme is no mere repository or library of truths and the experiences of truth, but rather, the Diety that collates and integrates the truth experience of all, and then expresses and manifests that collective truth-set in a personalized, experiential wisdom that changes all sources of truth experience/realization still to come.
A feedback mechanism that is an ever enlarging loop, giving back to source (creature mind) an ever greater volume of truth, distilled and personalized, Dietized and actualized, changing the fact-set in profound ways – new reality and new potential created by choice and experience by every mind. This, I think, is a principal reason that truth is always partial and relative, truth itself is evolving….even Diety faces uncertainties and new sets of circumstances and outcomes for their endless experience of choice in this constant flux of prior choice outcomes and new potentials (this is not to suggest any uncertainties as to unltimate outcomes/destiny for our Paradise Parents but is meant to recognize the fluidity of evolutionary results in the Super Universes of time and space). So reality response requires the facts of reality to respond to but the response itself is the truth-journey within those reality facts.
But only on a new world and isolated worlds and only those where both rebellion and default have left the mortals of the sphere in utter darkness as to the facts of universe reality does this issue seem relevant. For the facts of universe reality are not otherwise unknown, even to mortals. So I am somewhat skeptical that any of the primary spirits of Mother, Father, Son are principally engaged in “fact recognition” (there are text books for that and we now have one) – but are, rather, primarily or exclusively engaged in reality “response” – the truths that can only be discovered by choice in a mind seeking spirit and able to discern the righteous effects from righteous cause (or in our tadpole infancies, the consequences of material attachments). Facts can be known but not lived while truth must be lived to be known. But the truth led life progresses most within a reality based set of facts. And so, our perspective is equally affected by both the facts known and truths real-ized in mind.
I may have strayed here far from relevancy and if so, apologies. Just reflections from reading the topic so far.
God the Supreme
(1278.1) 117:0.1 TO THE extent that we do the will of God in whatever universe station we may have our existence, in that measure the almighty potential of the Supreme becomes one step more actual. The will of God is the purpose of the First Source and Center as it is potentialized in the three Absolutes, personalized in the Eternal Son, conjoined for universe action in the Infinite Spirit, and eternalized in the everlasting patterns of Paradise. And God the Supreme is becoming the highest finite manifestation of the total will of God.
(1278.2) 117:0.2 If all grand universers should ever relatively achieve the full living of the will of God, then would the time-space creations be settled in light and life, and then would the Almighty, the deity potential of Supremacy, become factual in the emergence of the divine personality of God the Supreme.
(1278.3) 117:0.3 When an evolving mind becomes attuned to the circuits of cosmic mind, when an evolving universe becomes stabilized after the pattern of the central universe, when an advancing spirit contacts the united ministry of the Master Spirits, when an ascending mortal personality finally attunes to the divine leading of the indwelling Adjuster, then has the actuality of the Supreme become real by one more degree in the universes; then has the divinity of Supremacy advanced one more step toward cosmic realization.
(1278.4) 117:0.4 The parts and individuals of the grand universe evolve as a reflection of the total evolution of the Supreme, while in turn the Supreme is the synthetic cumulative total of all grand universe evolution. From the mortal viewpoint both are evolutionary and experiential reciprocals.
1. Nature of the Supreme Being
(1278.5) 117:1.1 The Supreme is the beauty of physical harmony, the truth of intellectual meaning, and the goodness of spiritual value. He is the sweetness of true success and the joy of everlasting achievement. He is the oversoul of the grand universe, the consciousness of the finite cosmos, the completion of finite reality, and the personification of Creator-creature experience. Throughout all future eternity God the Supreme will voice the reality of volitional experience in the trinity relationships of Deity.
(1278.6) 117:1.2 In the persons of the Supreme Creators the Gods have descended from Paradise to the domains of time and space, there to create and to evolve creatures with Paradise-attainment capacity who can ascend thereto in quest of the Father. This universe procession of descending God-revealing Creators and ascending God-seeking creatures is revelatory of the Deity evolution of the Supreme, in whom both descenders and ascenders achieve mutuality of understanding, the discovery of eternal and universal brotherhood. The Supreme Being thus becomes the finite synthesis of the experience of the perfect-Creator cause and the perfecting-creature response.
