PAPER 7: RELATION OF THE ETERNAL
SON TO THE UNIVERSE
Audio Version, Printer Friendly Synopsis
7:0.1 The Original Son is ever concerned
with the execution of the spiritual aspects of the Father's eternal purpose
as it progressively unfolds in the phenomena of the evolving universes with
their manifold groups of living beings. We do not fully comprehend this
eternal plan, but the Paradise Son undoubtedly does.
7:0.2 The Son is like the Father in that he seeks to bestow everything
possible of himself upon his co-ordinate Sons and upon their subordinate
Sons. And the Son shares the Father's self-distributive nature in the
unstinted bestowal of himself upon the Infinite
Spirit, their conjoint
executive.
7:0.3 As the upholder of spirit realities, the Second
Source and Center is the eternal
counterpoise of the Isle
of Paradise, which so
magnificently upholds all things material. Thus is the First
Source and Center forever revealed
in the material beauty of the exquisite patterns of the central Isle and in
the spiritual values of the supernal personality of the Eternal
Son.
7:0.4 The Eternal Son is the actual upholder of the vast creation of spirit
realities and spiritual beings. The spirit world is the habit, the personal
conduct, of the Son, and the impersonal realities of spirit nature are always
responsive to the will and purpose of the perfect personality of the Absolute
Son.
7:0.5 The Son is not, however, personally
responsible for the conduct of all spirit personalities. The will of the
personal creature is relatively free and hence determines the actions of such
volitional beings. Therefore the freewill spirit world is not always truly
representative of the character of the Eternal Son, even as nature on Urantia
is not truly revelatory of the perfection and immutability of Paradise and Deity. But no matter what may characterize the freewill action
of man or angel, the Son's eternal grasp of the universal gravity control of all spirit realities continues as absolute.
