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.
*** 10:1
SELF-DISTRIBUTION OF THE FIRST SOURCE AND CENTER 10:1.1 It
would seem that the Father, back in eternity, inaugurated a policy of profound
self-distribution. There is inherent in the selfless, loving, and lovable
nature of the Universal Father something which causes him
to reserve to himself the exercise of only those powers and that authority
which he apparently finds it impossible to delegate or to bestow. 10:1.2 The
Universal Father all along has divested himself of every part of himself that
was bestowable on any other Creator or creature. He
has delegated to his divine Sons and their associated intelligences every
power and all authority that could be delegated. He has actually transferred
to his Sovereign Sons, in their respective
universes, every prerogative of administrative authority that was
transferable. In the affairs of a local universe, he has made each Sovereign
Creator Son just as perfect, competent, and authoritative as is the Eternal Son in the original and central
universe. He has given away, actually bestowed, with the dignity and sanctity
of personality possession, all of himself and
all of his attributes, everything he possibly could divest himself of, in
every way, in every age, in every place, and to every person, and in every
universe except that of his central indwelling. 10:1.3 Divine
personality is not self-centered; self-distribution
and sharing of personality characterize divine freewill selfhood. Creatures
crave association with other personal creatures; Creators are moved to share divinity with their universe children; the
personality of the Infinite is disclosed as the Universal Father, who shares
reality of being and equality of self with two co-ordinate personalities, the
Eternal Son and the Conjoint Actor. 10:1.4 For
knowledge concerning the Father's personality and divine attributes we will
always be dependent on the revelations of the Eternal Son, for when the
conjoint act of creation was effected, when the Third Person of Deity sprang into personality
existence and executed the combined concepts of his divine parents, the
Father ceased to exist as the unqualified personality. With the coming into
being of the Conjoint Actor and the materialization of the central core of
creation, certain eternal changes took place. God gave himself as an absolute
personality to his Eternal Son. Thus does the Father bestow the " personality of infinity " upon his
only-begotten Son, while they both bestow the " conjoint personality
" of their eternal union upon the Infinite Spirit. 10:1.5 For
these and other reasons beyond the concept of the finite mind, it is
exceedingly difficult for the human creature to comprehend God's infinite
father-personality except as it is universally revealed in the Eternal Son
and, with the Son, is universally active in the Infinite Spirit. 10:1.6 Since
the Paradise Sons of God visit the evolutionary
worlds and sometimes even there dwell in the likeness of mortal flesh, and
since these bestowals make it possible for mortal man actually to know
something of the nature and character of divine personality, therefore must
the creatures of the planetary spheres look to the bestowals of these Paradise Sons for reliable and trustworthy
information regarding the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. |
