In the Interim-Papers VIII and
IX we have reviewed the meanings of the TRUE WORSHIP of the the Mind of the The following Interim-Paper is
devoted to the enlightenment about the true nature of God. ***** THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD -
Part 6. The Father’s Primacy The
sovereignty of God is unlimited, and this is the fundamental fact for all of
His creation. With
divine selflessness and consummate generosity the Universal Father
relinquishes His authority and delegates power. But He is still primal
because His hand is on the mighty lever of
the circumstances of the universal realms, and He has reserved all final decisions
and unerringly the all-powerful veto scepter of His eternal purpose with His
unchallengeable authority
over the welfare and destiny of His outstretched, whirling, and ever-circling
creation. The
universe was not inevitable, neither it is self-existent, nor its existence
is an accident. The
universe is a work of creation, and is therefore wholly the subject to the
will of God the
Father, it’s Creator. The
will of God is divine truth and living love, and for these reasons all of His
perfecting creations,
including the evolutionary universes, are characterized by goodness, as the nearness
to divinity, where the potential evil acts keep evolutions remote from
divinity. All
religious philosophy, sooner or later, always arrives at the concept of unified
universe rule
of one God of all and in all. Universes
causes cannot be lower than the universe effects, and the source of the
streams of
universe life and its cosmic mind must, therefore, be above the levels of its
manifestation. Human
mind cannot be consistently explained in terms of the lower orders of
existence. Man’s
mind can only truly thrive to comprehend if the reality of higher orders of
thought and purposive will are recognized. Man as a moral being is
inexplicable, unless the reality of the Universal Father is fully
acknowledged. The
secular mechanistic philosopher rejects the idea of a universal and sovereign
will, the
same sovereign will, whose activity in the elaboration of universe laws, the
Creator Father
Him-Self so deeply reverences and enforces. What
unintended homage the planetary science and philosophy mechanists pay to the
Law-Creator, when the God Himself conceives such laws to be self-acting and
self-explanatory !!! It
is, also, a great human blunder to humanize God, except in the concept of the
indwelling Father’s
Spirit fragment when the Thought Adjuster indwells the human personality. It
is, however, wrong to identify this Father’s spirit presence with the nature’s
material mechanistic
evolutionary human thoughts. The spirit
of the infinite and eternal Ruler of the universe of universes reflects
itself in the nature’s
power, form, energy, process, pattern, principle, presence, and it’s idealized
reality of time
and space. However,
the Father is more than just that. He
is also personal. He exercises a sovereign will, experiences Self-consciousness
of divinity, executes the mandates of a creative mind, pursues the satisfaction
of the realization of an eternal
purpose, and manifests a Father’s love and affection for His universe
children. The personal
traits of the Father can be better understood by observing them as they were
revealed in the bestowal life of the Christ Michael of Nebadon, the Creator
Son of God, while
he was incarnated on this planet as Jesus of Nazareth*. The
Paradise God the Father loves men. The
Paradise God the Son serves men. The
Paradise God the Spirit inspires the children of the universes to the
ever-ascending adventure
of finding God the Father by the ways ordained by His Creator Sons through
the ministry of the Divine Creative Daughter’s Spirit of local universes,
which are respectively the
Christ Michael of Nebadon and the Divine Minister of Nebadon, for the people
of this planet
earth, named Urantia in cosmic universe registry. *The principles of incarnation
of Christ Michael of Nebadon, the Son of God, in the physical form of Jesus of Nazareth, the
son of man, will be discussed in more details in one of the future papers. Reference: The Urantia Book, Paper 3,
