Surfing the AbsoniteNigel Nunn, Australia
�To finite creatures of the grand universe theconcept of the master universe seems to be well-nigh infinite, but doubtless the absonite architectsthereof perceive its relatedness to future andunimagined developments within the unendingI AM. Even space itself is but an ultimate condition,a condition of qualification within the relativeabsoluteness of the quiet zones of midspace.
At the inconceivably distant future eternitymoment of the final completion of the entire masteruniverse, no doubt we will all look back upon itsentire history as only the beginning, simply thecreation of certain finite and transcendentalfoundations for even greater and more enthrallingmetamorphoses in uncharted infinity. At such afuture eternity moment the master universe will stillseem youthful; indeed, it will be always young inthe face of the limitless possibilities of never-endingeternity.� (pp. 1169,70)
We have been discussing the raising of an epicbackdrop for the stage upon which Urantia�s fifth epochwill unfold. We have predicted humanity�s acquirementof (1) a new perspective onto the frame within which weyoung ascenders live and work, and (2) a deeperunderstanding of the domain of our Michael.
Now let�s take another step back, and reflect upon theframe within which this Michael himself works�thecontext within which a Creator Son, a master Michael,perfects his local universe:
�The Universal Father, through the mechanism ofevolutionary Deity, is actually engaged in thestupendous and amazing act of personalityfocalization and power mobilization, on theirrespective universe meaning-levels, of the divinereality values of the finite, the absonite, and evenof the absolute.� (p. 13)
Clearly, humans at the tail end of Urantia�s fourth agewere ill-equipped to attempt to formulate ideas about thecontext of evolutionary Deity; but embryonic Finaliters,helping to kick-start Urantia�s fifth epoch, are invited tobegin this formulation. So, let�s stride onwards...
With regard to the headwaters of Infinity and theinitialization of Eternity, we can do little more thanbelieve the I AM said �make it so�, and so it was.
However, once we move our considerations intohistoric, post Havona times, we are able to extract fromthe Urantia Papers some inkling as to the sequence thatthe Master Architects have laid out.
If we consider the state and span of the I AM asencompassing some ripening, from beginnings tocompletion, we must wonder: �What is it that ripens?�
And since all absonites and finites are encompassedwith the state and span of the I AM, we must also wonderhow our familiar spacetime nest must appear totranscendental, if not absolute, eyes. As described in theabove quote from page 1169, �space itself is but anultimate condition, a condition of qualification within therelative absoluteness of the quiet zones of midspace�.
One task of our philosophers and scientists is to soadjust mankind�s myths and models that they are at leastconsistent with measurable phenomena. But by definition,those things which, to us, are measurable phenomena, arebound within the finite�a sub-region of that �conditionof qualification...�. But the Urantia Papers expand thedomain of our speculation beyond these bounds.
Making the myth fit the phenomena
Keppler once had suspicions that the planets swungaround the Sun in circular in orbits. With much hard work,this initial guess was refined into his excellentapproximation about elliptical orbital behaviour.
Likewise, our brightest children will eventually teaseout of nature those higher-dimensional models thatdescribe certain evolutions within eternity. One of theseevolutions is the history of spacetime, the first phase ofwhich is the integration of the superuniverse space levelinto the completed grand universe.
The Urantia Papers describe how the early days ofthis first phase are managed by God the Sevenfold, a divineintrusion into the finite, commissioned to look after thingsuntil the First Experiential Trinity (the Supreme, theSupreme Creator Deity group, and the Architects of theMaster Universe) gets its act together. Once established,this trinity oversees an integration of the entire granduniverse, taking the perfected superuniverses and aligningthem with the patterns and purposes of the Havona realm.
The authors of the Urantia Papers then extrapolate thissequence to offer us a feel for master universe integration,in which the Second Experiential Trinity integrates everypoint in pervaded space, and every moment in time, toreveal the master universe as a contiguous, seamless crownabout peripheral Paradise.
With this circle of perfection presented as an interfaceagainst the Absolutes of Potential, a very new day dawns.The Consummator of Universe Destiny steps on stage,musters actualized reality, and begins a transcendentalpenetration of the possibilities that lure the Deities on.
