Certainty through Collaboration

Certainly. Here is the content from Urantia Book Foreword Section VIII: God the Sevenfold, formatted into clear and flowing paragraphs for better readability and understanding:


To compensate for the limitations of finite creatures and to help them overcome the inherent difficulties in grasping and approaching infinite Deity, the Universal Father has established a sevenfold way by which evolutionary beings may ascend to divine presence. This approach enables mortals in time and space to progressively encounter and know God. It is both an act of divine mercy and a structure of cosmic order, designed to reconcile the gulf between creature and Creator.

This sevenfold path includes: (1) the Paradise Creator Sons, who function in local universes as the first approachable divine figures for ascending beings; (2) the Ancients of Days, the Trinity-origin beings who rule and adjudicate within the superuniverses; (3) the Seven Master Spirits, who represent and coordinate the will of the Trinity across all creation; (4) the Supreme Being, the experiential and evolving Deity who synthesizes all finite reality; (5) God the Spirit, the Infinite Spirit, source of mind and ministry; (6) God the Son, the Eternal Son, the spiritual personality center; and (7) God the Father, the Universal Father, the original Source and destiny of all personal beings.

This structure of sevenfold Deity makes it possible for finite mortals to progressively experience and realize God. The journey begins with the recognition of the Creator Son in one's local universe, and continues through the administrative domain of the Ancients of Days in the superuniverse. From there, one advances via the spiritual agency of a Master Spirit toward eventual attainment of the Universal Father’s personality presence on Paradise. This is the path of experiential discovery and personal transformation, known as the Paradise ascension career.

The grand universe is governed by a triune Deity manifestation: the Trinity of Supremacy, God the Sevenfold, and the Supreme Being. The Supreme Being is latent in the Paradise Trinity, from whom he receives his personality and spiritual qualities. However, he is becoming actual through the Creator Sons, Ancients of Days, and the Master Spirits, from whom he derives power as the Almighty in the evolving universes. The Supreme unifies the evolving values of personality and power into a single Deity manifestation—the Supreme Being.

In this divine architecture, the Creator Sons play a central role. They are the means by which mortals are transformed into immortals, and the finite touches the infinite. The Supreme Being, in turn, provides the technique for integrating these complex transactions, creating a unified, divine synthesis of personal and power realities. The Creator Sons and their Divine Minister partners participate in this process of Supreme mobilization. Meanwhile, the Ancients of Days and the Seven Master Spirits remain fixed and permanent administrators, overseeing the order and function of the grand universe.

The function of God the Sevenfold began with the organization of the seven superuniverses, and it is expected to expand further as the universes of outer space come into being. These new creations—on primary, secondary, tertiary, and quartan levels—will likely usher in a new, transcendent, and absonite approach to Deity, suggesting the continuation of divine revelation and evolutionary adventure beyond the present universe age.
