In the previous Interim-Papers we have
reviewed the meanings of the TRUE WORSHIP of the Paradise Universal Father,
the PRAYER SUPPLICATIONS to the realms of the Paradise Eternal Son and His
Spirit of Truth, and qualified PRAYER REALIZATIONS by the spirit agencies of
the Holy Spirit, the Mind of the Paradise Conjoint Actor. The following Interim-Paper is
devoted to further enlightenment about the true nature of God.
*** 6:7. PERSONALITY OF THE ETERNAL 6:7.1 The Eternal Son
is that infinite personality
from whose unqualified personality fetters the Universal Father
escaped by the technique of trinitization, and by virtue of which he has ever
since continued to bestow himself in endless profusion upon his
ever-expanding universe of Creators and creatures. The Son is absolute
personality; God is father personality —the source of personality, the bestower of personality, the cause of personality. Every
personal being derives personality from the Universal Father just as the
Original Son eternally derives his personality from the Paradise
Father. 6:7.2 The personality of the Paradise Son is absolute and
purely spiritual, and this absolute personality is also the divine and
eternal pattern, first, of the Father's bestowal of personality upon the Conjoint Actor
and, subsequently, of his bestowal of personality upon the myriads of his
creatures throughout a far-flung universe. 6:7.3 The Eternal Son is truly a merciful minister, a divine
spirit, a spiritual power, and a real personality. The Son is the spiritual
and personal nature of God made manifest to the universes—the sum and
substance of the First Source and
Center, divested of all that which is nonpersonal,
extradivine, nonspiritual,
and pure potential. But it is impossible to convey to the human mind a word
picture of the beauty and grandeur of the supernal personality of the Eternal
Son. Everything that tends to obscure the Universal Father operates with
almost equal influence to prevent the conceptual recognition of the Eternal
Son. You must await your attainment of REFERENCE: The Urantia Book, Paper 6, Section 6:7.1 – 7.3 |
