The Supreme God is the way in which the Infinite Deity
becomes more accessible to the finite creatures of creation. Through God the
Supreme, the Infinite has delivered Himself as a time space participant in the
evolutionary unfolding of Perfection within creation.
The evolution of the indwelling Spirit of Paradise ..
its actual progress .. is in the spiritualizing and eternalizing of a human
personality, and this is directly productive of an enlargement of the
sovereignty of God the Supreme.
Such achievements in human evolution are at the same
time achievements in the evolutionary actualization of the Supremacy of God.
While it is true that creatures could not evolve without the Supreme, it is
probably also true that the evolution of the Supreme can never be fully
attained independent of the completed evolution of all creatures. 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.
The great challenge that has been given to mortal man
is this: Will you decide to personalize the experiencible value meanings of the
cosmos into your own evolving selfhood? or by rejecting survival, will you
allow these secrets of Supremacy to lie dormant, awaiting the action of another
creature at some other time who will in his way attempt a creature contribution
to the evolution of the finite God? But that will be his contribution to the
Supreme, not yours.
The great struggle of this universe age is between the
potential and the actual — the seeking for actualization by all that is as yet
unexpressed. If mortal man proceeds upon the Paradise adventure, he is
following the motions of time, which flow as currents within the stream of
eternity; if mortal man rejects the eternal career, he is moving counter to the
stream of events in the finite universes. The mechanical creation moves on
inexorably in accordance with the unfolding purpose of the Paradise Father, but
the volitional creation has the choice of accepting or of rejecting the role of
personality participation in the adventure of eternity.
Mortal man cannot destroy the supreme values of human
existence, but he can very definitely prevent the evolution of these values in
his own personal experience. To the extent that the human self thus refuses to
take part in the Paradise ascent, to just that extent is the Supreme delayed in
achieving divinity expression in the grand universe.
And so, your day to day choices affect and directly
influence the actualization of God the Supreme. You are bidden .. plussed ..
and impulsed to evolve and eternalize your mortal frame through the righteous
understanding and knowledgeable use of the lifetimes of your personality
exploration into this ongoing adventure whereby God the Supreme awakens his
potentials into the actuals of his potent possibilities. This is the unfolding
drama occuring right now whereby the Supremacy of God finds himself in divine
realization, recognition, revelation, and actuality.
Our University of Salvington Planetary Curriculum and
Lectures foster this global educational purpose for the individual personality
and in expanding for that individual the divine fellowship of humanity within
the universe of universes.
Salvington Spiritus Invictus is the driving and
amplifying force in our educational fellowship together; this indwelling
unconquerable spirit of God’s Life which bestows himself in every moral
creature in the unending demonstration of God’s faith in humankind.
Thus, while God the First Person of Existence asks of
you to perfect thyself through the divine artistry of faith invisualization and
trustful imagination .. so too does he ask of himself to have faith trust in
the mortal creature who will one day choose wholeheartedly and freely ..
willingly desirous .. to share his and her mortal experience with this immortal
spirit presence living in the mind and heart of human beings.
And in just this natural and normal way of man seeking
God and becoming of his nature, and God finding men and women with the will to
become of their mortal nature .. does the Supremacy of God depend upon your
personal conscious arrival. Through your ongoing communion and quiet
reciprocity of heart and mind with the indwelling Spirit of God .. the great
plan of the universes shall emerge into the effulgence of wisdom, illumination,
and ascendancy.
