Quote: 0:11.7 2. The Unqualified Absolute is nonpersonal, extradivine, and undeified. The Unqualified Absolute is therefore devoid of personality, divinity, and all creator prerogatives. Neither fact nor truth, experience nor revelation, philosophy nor absonity are able to penetrate the nature and character of this Absolute without universe qualification.
0:11.8 Let it be made clear that the Unqualified Absolute is a positive reality pervading the grand universe and, apparently, extending with equal space presence on out into the force activities and prematerial evolutions of the staggering stretches of the space regions beyond the seven superuniverses. The Unqualified Absolute is not a mere negativism of philosophic concept predicated on the assumptions of metaphysical sophistries concerning the universality, dominance, and primacy of the unconditioned and the unqualified. The Unqualified Absolute is a positive universe overcontrol in infinity; this overcontrol is space-force unlimited but is definitely conditioned by the presence of life, mind, spirit, and personality, and is further conditioned by the will-reactions and purposeful mandates of the Paradise Trinity.
0:11.9 We are convinced that the Unqualified Absolute is not an undifferentiated and all-pervading influence comparable either to the pantheistic concepts of metaphysics or to the sometime ether hypothesis of science. The Unqualified Absolute is force unlimited and Deity conditioned, but we do not fully perceive the relation of this Absolute to the spirit realities of the universes.
This definition from the Forward offers us a glimpse into the extreme difficulty explaining this by one who can present his credentials in Paper 1 as follows:
Quote: 1:7.9 [Presented by a Divine Counselor, a member of a group of celestial personalities assigned by the Ancients of Days on Uversa, the headquarters of the seventh superuniverse, to supervise those portions of this forthcoming revelation which have to do with affairs beyond the borders of the local universe of Nebadon. I am commissioned to sponsor those papers portraying the nature and attributes of God because I represent the highest source of information available for such a purpose on any inhabited world. I have served as a Divine Counselor in all seven of the superuniverses and have long resided at the Paradise center of all things. Many times have I enjoyed the supreme pleasure of a sojourn in the immediate personal presence of the Universal Father. I portray the reality and truth of the Father’s nature and attributes with unchallengeable authority; I know whereof I speak.]
And yet he says unequivocally, "The Unqualified Absolute is nonpersonal, extradivine, and undeified. The Unqualified Absolute is therefore devoid of personality, divinity, and all creator prerogatives. Neither fact nor truth, experience nor revelation, philosophy nor absonity are able to penetrate the nature and character of this Absolute without universe qualification. And he follows with, "but we do not fully perceive the relation of this Absolute to the spirit realities of the universes."
With that as a background, let me offer this. Think of the word qualified a means of explaining and identifying something by its constituent parts and patterns and functions. The very name Unqualified Absolute means Absolutely Unqualified, essentially not actually identified. Therefore the examples offered as to the nature of this primordial force presence are qualified by individual experience and therefore unreal. Your questions imply that we humans may be able to identify the nature of the force influence produced by this Absolute but even the idea that such might be possible implies qualification, and that by human minds no less. If the Divine Counselor is not able to qualify identification then surely we will not.
Now all that does not mean we should join in the hunt for prescient influence trends and attempt to align our perceptions to enable potentialities beyond our, as yet, conscious awareness. So ask away, but my take is that absolutely unqualified is absolutely unidentifiable, as in, 'I cannot conceive of that which has no qualifying aspects', except theoretically, and the Divine Counselor makes it clear that we humans would tend to assign that thought train to metaphysics or philosophy.
i am happy to keep in my mind that the infinite God has an identified potential that is as yet Unqualified and Absolute. It provides assurance that Infinity will indeed be sufficient to provide Eternity with the potential of discovery of the same.
