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.
*** 007:7 THE SUPREME REVELATION OF
THE FATHER 7:7.1 The Eternal Son
is a complete, exclusive, universal, and final revelation of the spirit and
the personality
of the Universal Father.
All knowledge of, and information concerning, the Father must come from the
Eternal Son and his Paradise
Sons. The Eternal Son is from eternity and is wholly and without spiritual
qualification one with the Father. In divine personality they are
co-ordinate; in spiritual nature they are equal; in divinity
they are identical. 7:7.2 The
character of God could not possibly be intrinsically improved upon in the
person of the Son, for the divine Father is infinitely perfect, but that
character and personality are amplified, by divestment of the nonpersonal and nonspiritual,
for revelation to creature beings. The First Source and
Center is much more than a personality, but all of the spirit
qualities of the father personality of the First Source and Center are
spiritually present in the absolute personality of the Eternal Son. 7:7.3 The
primal Son and his Sons are engaged in making a universal revelation of the
spiritual and personal nature of the Father to all creation. In the central
universe, the superuniverses, the local universes,
or on the inhabited planets, it is a Paradise Son who reveals the Universal
Father to men and angels.
The Eternal Son and his Sons reveal the avenue of creature approach to the
Universal Father. And even we of high origin understand the Father much more
fully as we study the revelation of his character and personality in the
Eternal Son and in the Sons of the Eternal Son. 7:7.4 The
Father comes down to you as a
personality only through the divine Sons of the Eternal Son. And you attain
the Father by this same living way; you ascend to the Father by the guidance
of this group of divine Sons. And this remains true notwithstanding that your
very personality is a direct bestowal of the Universal Father. 7:7.5 In all
these widespread activities of the far-flung spiritual administration of the
Eternal Son, do not forget that the Son is a person
just as truly and actually as the Father is a person. Indeed, to beings of
the onetime human order the Eternal Son will be more easy
to approach than the Universal Father. In the progress of the pilgrims of
time through the circuits
of Havona, you will be competent to attain the Son
long before you are prepared to discern the Father. 7:7.6 More of
the character and merciful nature of the Eternal Son of mercy you should
comprehend as you meditate on the revelation of these divine attributes which
was made in loving service by your own Creator Son, onetime Son of Man
on earth, now the exalted sovereign of your local universe—the Son of Man and
the Son of God. 7:7.7 [Indited by a Divine Counselor assigned to formulate this
