Sounds like everything intermediate between God and the natural order but excluding God Himself.

So the next word must be Ultimanatural Order to describe the order of God Himself.

Or maybe I just created a new dogma?

No, I don’t think it excludes God at all. God loves us so much — think of the Finger of God artwork by Michaelangelo.

God is continually reaching out and loving mankind, while mankind is continually striving to reach God and heaven.

No new dogma or doctrine is indicated in my opinion.

Supernatural order is everything rising above the natural world, i.e. operation of angelic powers and divine powers, including God himself. What made you think it excludes God?
