ABSOLUTE (INFINITE) BEINGNESS (SEE "GOD" As WELL)

DD l0

ABSOLUTE BEINGNESS, ABSOLUTE INFINITE BEINGNESS,
GOD, THE FATHER, ALLAHA (EP 147)

What we know of God we see in reflection as witnessed both externally and internally. Absolute Infinite Beingness is, above all, the Divine Common Selfhood, as Beings within the One Being. Love, Light and Life belong to the primary Nature of Absolute Beingness as Total Love, Total Wisdom and Al­mightiness. The Love of God is universal, ceaseless, and unconditional. It is the Love of God, expressed as Grace, which lies at the core of Creation. The Light is pure, luminous Super Self-consciousness. Everlasting Life is the eternal motion, generation and regeneration of Its expres­sion. Other characteristics of Absolute Beingness, in Its Omnipresence include Multiplicity, Self-sufficiency and the Will-pleasure to express Itself in Itself as Creation. Abso­lute Beingness manifests Itself as the Logos and the Holy Spirit, "and these three are one (1 John 5:7).

 

ABSOLUTE BEINGNESS, INFINITE BEINGNESS, GOD, THE FATHER,
THE LORD, THE HIGHEST (ET 184)

These terms are used interchangeably. In spite of the use of masculine pronouns with any of the above terms, Absolute Beingness and any of the other expressions used for God are without gender. God is all and everything.

 

TOTAL LOVE, WISDOM, POWER (ET 197)

 Primary Natures of Absolute Beingness and Beings. Forming a sacred triangle each Nature is dependent on the other to be expressed properly.

 

SELF-SUFFICIENCY (ET 196)

 The primary Nature of Absolute Beingness, in complete Abundance, Blessedness and independence of all needs.

 

WILL-PLEASURE (ET 197)

The Greek word "euareskia" has no exact equivalent in English. It carries a sense of pleasure derived from bountiful giving, as practised by a warmly generous and wealthy source. Will-pleasure was used in preference of "bounty" or "charity" to avoid misconceptions. We have described "euareskia as "God's pleasure in creativeness

CAUSES, IDEAS and PRINCIPLES (EP 149)

The Will-pleasure of Absolute Be-ness is the primal Cause.  It is the Cause of Creation. From         within the Will-pleasure of Absolute Be-ness, all subordinate causes spring. Causes then give rise to archetypal Ideas. Archangels work through the Ideas and apply Total Wisdom to each form. Every Idea holds within it the whole Circle of Possibility and Probabi­lities of the form to be manifested. Principles govern the expression of causes in time, place and space.

DIVINE LAWS (EP 151 & ET 188)

The basic structure of the Divine Plan, governing all worlds and universes, and corresponding to our higher nature. Epitomizing Reason and Love manifested, it is our recognition of, and alignment with, these Laws (e.g. of Cause and Effect, of Harmony, of Order, of Growth and of Love) which lead to our balanced and enhanced spiritual development.

  DIVINE MEDITATION (EP 151)

Divine Meditation, for lack of a better term, is believed to be the state prior to the Will pleasure where Absolute Be-ness contemplates  expressing Itself within Itself.

DIVINE MERCY (EP 151)

A little understood, but most compassionate force in Crea­tion. Divine Mercy permits the miraculous, the seeming ex­ception to the Law of Cause and Effect, to take place. James, in his epistle, wrote, " and mercy rejoiceth against judgment" (3:13).

DIVINE PLAN (EP 151 & ET 188)

The blueprint of Creation, perfect and complete, accounting for everything and for all occurrences. Attuning our thoughts and actions to the most wise Divine Plan of Absolute Being-ness is the purpose of our existence.

ABSOLUTE BEINGNESS or ABSOLUTE (FH 297)

The unmanifest reality behind all phenomena; the Godhead or God.

 

DIVINE AUTARCHY (FH 299)

The static and self-sufficient condition within the Absolute prior to all manifestations. The Absolute has everything within Itself and lacks nothing. The state of Being.

EP  25

ABSOLUTE BEINGNESS

What Is, what always Was, and what always Will Be is the Absolute Infinite Beingness. God the Father, as the Absolute Infinite Reality. Of Absolute Infinite Beingness there is very little that we can trace and come to know from the human perspective in the gross material world. What we know of God we see in reflection as witnessed both externally and inwardly. In order for light to become apparent it must be reflected off a surface. Everything that surrounds us and the worlds within is a reflection of the Truth of God.

 

EP 25    Absolute Beingness is, above all, the Divine Common Selfhood, that is to say, Super-conscious Self-awareness of the Whole. All Beings within Absolute Beingness are logoi expressing this Divine Selfhood as Gods within God.

EP      26     Love, Light and Life belong to the primary Nature of Absolute Beingness. The Love of God is universal, ceaseless, impersonal­and unconditional. It is the Love of God, expressed as Grace, which lies at the core of Creation. The Light is pure, luminous Self-consciousness which lives in the centre of every Being. Everlasting Life is the eternal motion, genera­tion and regeneration of expression.

 

Other characteristics of Absolute Beingness include Multiplicity, Self-sufficiency and the Will-pleasure to express Itself in Itself as Creation.

We know of Absolute Beingness that It is multiple in Its Unity. Within Absolute Beingness, in both expressed and unexpressed condition, are the Christ Logos and the Holy Spirit, "and these three are one", writes Yohannan (1 John 5:7). Also composing the Multiplicity of Absolute Beingness are myriad upon myriad of Self-conscious logic Beings. Humanity, the Archangelic Orders, and other Self-aware Beings are Holy Monads within the timeless body of God.

The Self-sufficiency of Absolute Beingness inspired Meister Eckhart to write, "Outside of God, there is nothing but nothing." The Omnipresence of Absolute Beingness engenders everything, embraces all, and all will be in the "restitu­tion of all things" (Acts 3:21). There is nothing that God is in need of.

In our struggle to comprehend the Will-pleasure of Absolute Be-ness we learn that the genesis of Creation takes place in Divine Meditation where God contemplates the Divine Plan that becomes Creation. The Will-pleasure of God is a gem­like prism through which the Great Light shines giving us the colours of the Archangelic Orders. According to the Will-pleasure, Omnipotence, Omniscience and Love of Absolute Beingness, this Divine Plan unfolds, is unfolding and will always unfold in the Eternal Now.

ET 17 CHAPTER ONE "ABSOLUTE BEINGNESS"

ET 18   Absolute Beingness, we would say, is a State of Self-aware Absolute Super-consciousness, in which everything is and finds and draws upon the energy needed for its existence and expression. It is the One and Only God, Who in Its Absolute Self-sufficiency meditates and expresses Itself. Every thing, visible and invisible, above and below, is as God's expression, the result of Its Divine Will-pleasure.

ET      18     Absolute Beingness, we would say, is a state of Self-aware Absolute Super-consciousness, in which everything is and finds and draws upon the energy needed for Its existence and expression.

ET      18     Absolute Beingness has Self-sufficiency, without the slightest need to express Itself.

ET      18     God is beyond the concept of any sort of space. It is Life itself - Life which is the expression of Absolute Beingness within Itself, with a special vehicle which It creates for this very purpose. One such manifestation is Mind. With Mind, Absolute Beingness expresses Itself as Multiplicity in the worlds of separation.

ET      19     (We have to realize God's) incomprehensible Oneness and Its Infinite Mercy, so that we may never develop a fear of It in our hearts, but only love, boundless and without thought of self. For God, while being all things, without any reservation, is, at the same time and before all, total inexhaustible LOVE.

ET      20     The expression of Absolute Beingness is the result of Its Divine Will and has two arms - the Logoic and the Holy Spiritual -. In every single thing in existence - such as living systems of the natural world, all types of consciousness and self-awareness - we find these two Divine Overlords, varying only in degree of expression and activity.

ET      21     Even in Will-pleasure and expression, there is Self-sufficiency, because if it were missing, nothing whatever would be able to evolve in due order and according to immutable Laws. By studying these cycles of expression, of living existence, we see full Self-sufficiency as the Law and First Cause.

ET      21     The Triadic God which was expressed appears to us, there­fore, as Absolute Beingness-Christ Logos and Absolute Beingness-Holy Spirit, which we can also describe as Absolute Self-awareness and Absolute Superconsciousness.

ET      22     It is the Nature of God, which we have called Absolute Self-sufficiency, that Absolute Beingness, the Christ Logos and the Holy Spirit are One.

ET      22     Within Absolute Beingness we may also distinguish Divine Power, Divine Wisdom and Divine Love. It was from exceed­ingly great Love that God emanated humanity and endowed it with the possibility of developing Self-awareness and Divine understanding.

ET      22     Does Absolute Beingness love Itself? Of course, since It is Absolute Love.

ET      25    Absolute Beingness is the only Reality there is. It is Truth and Life, the totality of everything. It is Self-sufficiency in the One and Self-sufficiency in Multiplicity­.  It is the one God, beyond time and space, Who is expressed and emanated unceasingly as Christ Logos and Holy Spirit.

ET          26     Within the framework of expression is included the creation of the universes, with the supersubstance Mind, and this creation arose from Absolute Beingness as a result of Its Divine Will-pleasure.

ET      63     Within the Absolute Super Self-aware Self-sufficiency of Absolute Beingness are the Holy Monadic Beings, Orders of Archangels, with each Order containing myriads upon myriads of Beings of the same type.

ET          63     The Dominions or Overlordships are, by their nature, beyond any research because they differ little from Absolute Beingness, from the human point of view. Most of us can not understand the vibration of these Archangels, perhaps because they are more within Divine Self-sufficiency than within Divine Will-pleasure.

ET          69     Absolute Beingness is total Self-sufficiency with Multipli­city as an aspect of Its Nature whose Will it is to express the Holy Monads in Creation. Similarly each Holy Monad is both Self-sufficient and multiple. The Holy Monads, in order to express Themselves in the worlds, must themselves have the characteristics of Absolute Beingness. Among those characteristics­, the more easily comprehensible are Total Wisdom, Total Power and Total Love.

ET      74     We must believe that God-Absolute Beingness has no need of the worlds and universes. God is Absolute, Self-sufficient and complete and expresses Itself into substance and super-substance in order to build Causal universes, according to Its most Divine Will-pleasure.

ET      78     God as a state of Beingness is Life, while in a state of existence It is the expression of life. Something that exists originates from somewhere and the phenomenon of life in the world of existence begins with the expression of the Will-pleasure of Absolute Beingness.

We have, then, the world of Absolute Beingness, in which everything that ever was, is, or will be, already is, as a Divine Meditation. All types of expression exist, and according to the type of expression concerned, they each take their turn so to speak, so that a succession of states is created. Thus we have the advent of time and place, in spite of there being no conditions of time and place within the Absolute Beingness. Let us take ourselves as an example.

We are, first of all, a Holy Monad, which has not yet expres­sed itself in the worlds of form. We are Life beyond time and place, but we have as yet no existence before our emanation Existence begins from the instant a ray of the Holy Monad passes through the Human Idea. From that instant we exist as a Self-aware Soul

ET 78          Something similar happens with all other forms. The worlds of existence include the noetical, psychic and gross mate­rial worlds. In the case of forms other than that of human­ity, their creation is an expression of a Being, such as an Archangel. Thus all other forms of living things, of planets, of all other things, indeed every other created thing, are projections - as elementals - of the hosts of angels and Archangels, who are always ready to be of ser­vice in this way.
