 P.108 – §1 The Paradise Trinity of 
        eternal Deities facilitates the Father’s escape from personality absolutism. 
        The Trinity perfectly associates the limitless expression of God’s infinite 
        personal will with the absoluteness of Deity. The Eternal Son and the 
        various Sons of divine origin, together with the Conjoint Actor and his 
        universe children, effectively provide for the Father’s liberation from 
        the limitations otherwise inherent in primacy, perfection, changelessness, 
        eternity, universality, absoluteness, and infinity. 
         
P.108 – §2 The Paradise Trinity effectively provides 
        for the full expression and perfect revelation of the eternal nature of 
        Deity. The Stationary Sons of the Trinity likewise afford a full and perfect 
        revelation of divine justice. The Trinity is Deity unity, and this unity 
        rests eternally upon the absolute foundations of the divine oneness of 
        the three original and co-ordinate and coexistent personalities, God the 
        Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit.  
P.108 – §3 From the present situation on the circle 
        of eternity, looking backward into the endless past, we can discover only 
        one inescapable inevitability in universe affairs, and that is the Paradise 
        Trinity. I deem the Trinity to have been inevitable. As I view the past, 
        present, and future of time, I consider nothing else in all the universe 
        of universes to have been inevitable. The present master universe, viewed 
        in retrospect or in prospect, is unthinkable without the Trinity. Given 
        the Paradise Trinity, we can postulate alternate or even multiple ways 
        of doing all things, but without the Trinity of Father, Son, and Spirit 
        we are unable to conceive how the Infinite could achieve threefold and 
        co-ordinate personalization in the face of the absolute oneness of Deity. 
        No other concept of creation measures up to the Trinity standards of the 
        completeness of the absoluteness inherent in Deity unity coupled with 
        the repleteness of volitional liberation inherent in the threefold personalization 
        of Deity.

 1. SELF-DISTRIBUTION OF THE FIRST SOURCE AND CENTER 
        – P.108 
         
P.108 – §4 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. 
         
P.108 – §5 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  
         
P.109 – §0 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. 
P.109 – §1 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. 
P.109 – §2 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. 
         
P.109 – §3 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. 
         
P.109 – §4 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.

 2. DEITY PERSONALIZATION – P.109 
         
P.109 – §5 By the technique of trinitization the 
        Father divests himself of that unqualified spirit personality which is 
        the Son, but in so doing he constitutes himself the Father of this very 
        Son and thereby possesses himself of unlimited capacity to become the 
        divine Father of all subsequently created, eventuated, or other personalized 
        types of intelligent will creatures. As the absolute and unqualified personality 
        the Father can function only as and with the Son, but as a personal Father 
        he continues to bestow personality upon the diverse hosts of the differing 
        levels of intelligent will creatures, and he forever maintains personal 
        relations of loving association with this vast family of universe children. 
         
P.109 – §6 After the Father has bestowed upon the 
        personality of his Son the fullness of himself, and when this act of self-bestowal 
        is complete and perfect, of the infinite power and nature which are thus 
        existent in the Father-Son union, the eternal partners conjointly bestow 
        those qualities and attributes which constitute still  
         
P.110 – §0 another being like themselves; and this 
        conjoint personality, the Infinite Spirit, completes the existential personalization 
        of Deity. 
         
P.110 – §1 The Son is indispensable to the fatherhood 
        of God. The Spirit is indispensable to the fraternity of the Second and 
        Third Persons. Three persons are a minimum social group, but this is least 
        of all the many reasons for believing in the inevitability of the Conjoint 
        Actor. 
P.110 – §2 The First Source and Center is the infinite 
        father-personality, the unlimited source personality. The Eternal Son 
        is the unqualified personality-absolute, that divine being who stands 
        throughout all time and eternity as the perfect revelation of the personal 
        nature of God. The Infinite Spirit is the conjoint personality, the unique 
        personal consequence of the everlasting Father-Son union. 
P.110 – §3 The personality of the First Source and 
        Center is the personality of infinity minus the absolute personality of 
        the Eternal Son. The personality of the Third Source and Center is the 
        superadditive consequence of the union of the liberated Father-personality 
        and the absolute Son-personality. 
P.110 – §4 The Universal Father, the Eternal Son, 
        and the Infinite Spirit are unique persons; none is a duplicate; each 
        is original; all are united. 
P.110 – §5 The Eternal Son alone experiences the 
        fullness of divine personality relationship, consciousness of both sonship 
        with the Father and paternity to the Spirit and of divine equality with 
        both Father-ancestor and Spirit-associate. The Father knows the experience 
        of having a Son who is his equal, but the Father knows no ancestral antecedents. 
        The Eternal Son has the experience of sonship, recognition of personality 
        ancestry, and at the same time the Son is conscious of being joint parent 
        to the Infinite Spirit. The Infinite Spirit is conscious of twofold personality 
        ancestry but is not parental to a co-ordinate Deity personality. With 
        the Spirit the existential cycle of Deity personalization attains completion; 
        the primary personalities of the Third Source and Center are experiential 
        and are seven in number. 
         
P.110 – §6 I am of origin in the Paradise Trinity. 
        I know the Trinity as unified Deity; I also know that the Father, Son, 
        and Spirit exist and act in their definite personal capacities. I positively 
        know that they not only act personally and collectively, but that they 
        also co-ordinate their performances in various groupings, so that in the 
        end they function in seven different singular and plural capacities. And 
        since these seven associations exhaust the possibilities for such divinity 
        combination, it is inevitable that the realities of the universe shall 
        appear in seven variations of values, meanings, and personality.

 3. THE THREE PERSONS OF DEITY – P.110 
         
P.110 – §7 Notwithstanding there is only one Deity, 
        there are three positive and divine personalizations of Deity. Regarding 
        the endowment of man with the divine Adjusters, the Father said: "Let 
        us make mortal man in our own image." Repeatedly throughout the Urantian 
        writings there occurs this reference to the acts and doings of plural 
        Deity, clearly showing recognition of the existence and working of the 
        three Sources and Centers. 
P.110 – §8 We are taught that the Son and the Spirit 
        sustain the same and equal relations to the Father in the Trinity association. 
        In eternity and as Deities they undoubtedly do, but in time and as personalities 
        they certainly disclose relationships  
         
P.111 – §0 of a very diverse nature. Looking from 
        Paradise out on the universes, these relationships do seem to be very 
        similar, but when viewed from the domains of space, they appear to be 
        quite different. 
         
P.111 – §1 The divine Sons are indeed the "Word 
        of God," but the children of the Spirit are truly the "Act of 
        God." God speaks through the Son and, with the Son, acts through 
        the Infinite Spirit, while in all universe activities the Son and the 
        Spirit are exquisitely fraternal, working as two equal brothers with admiration 
        and love for an honored and divinely respected common Father. 
         
P.111 – §2 The Father, Son, and Spirit are certainly 
        equal in nature, co-ordinate in being, but there are unmistakable differences 
        in their universe performances, and when acting alone, each person of 
        Deity is apparently limited in absoluteness. 
P.111 – §3 The Universal Father, prior to his self-willed 
        divestment of the personality, powers, and attributes which constitute 
        the Son and the Spirit, seems to have been (philosophically considered) 
        an unqualified, absolute, and infinite Deity. But such a theoretical First 
        Source and Center without a Son could not in any sense of the word be 
        considered the Universal Father; fatherhood is not real without sonship. 
        Furthermore, the Father, to have been absolute in a total sense, must 
        have existed at some eternally distant moment alone. But he never had 
        such a solitary existence; the Son and the Spirit are both coeternal with 
        the Father. The First Source and Center has always been, and will forever 
        be, the eternal Father of the Original Son and, with the Son, the eternal 
        progenitor of the Infinite Spirit. 
         
P.111 – §4 We observe that the Father has divested 
        himself of all direct manifestations of absoluteness except absolute fatherhood 
        and absolute volition. We do not know whether volition is an inalienable 
        attribute of the Father; we can only observe that he did not divest himself 
        of volition. Such infinity of will must have been eternally inherent in 
        the First Source and Center. 
         
P.111 – §5 In bestowing absoluteness of personality 
        upon the Eternal Son, the Universal Father escapes from the fetters of 
        personality absolutism, but in so doing he takes a step which makes it 
        forever impossible for him to act alone as the personality-absolute. And 
        with the final personalization of coexistent Deity–the Conjoint Actor–there 
        ensues the critical trinitarian interdependence of the three divine personalities 
        with regard to the totality of Deity function in absolute. 
         
P.111 – §6 God is the Father-Absolute of all personalities 
        in the universe of universes. The Father is personally absolute in liberty 
        of action, but in the universes of time and space, made, in the making, 
        and yet to be made, the Father is not discernibly absolute as total Deity 
        except in the Paradise Trinity. 
P.111 – §7 The First Source and Center functions 
        outside of Havona in the phenomenal universes as follows: 
P.111 – §8 1. As creator, through the Creator Sons, 
        his grandsons. 
         
P.111 – §9 2. As controller, through the gravity 
        center of Paradise. 
         
P.111 – §10 3. As spirit, through the Eternal Son. 
         
P.111 – §11 4. As mind, through the Conjoint Creator. 
         
P.111 – §12 5. As a Father, he maintains parental 
        contact with all creatures through his personality circuit. 
         
P.111 – §13 6. As a person, he acts directly throughout 
        creation by his exclusive fragments–in mortal man by the Thought Adjusters. 
         
P.111 – §14 7. As total Deity, he functions only 
        in the Paradise Trinity. 
P.112 – §1 All these relinquishments and delegations 
        of jurisdiction by the Universal Father are wholly voluntary and self-imposed. 
        The all-powerful Father purposefully assumes these limitations of universe 
        authority. 
P.112 – §2 The Eternal Son seems to function as one 
        with the Father in all spiritual respects except in the bestowals of the 
        God fragments and in other prepersonal activities. Neither is the Son 
        closely identified with the intellectual activities of material creatures 
        nor with the energy activities of the material universes. As absolute 
        the Son functions as a person and only in the domain of the spiritual 
        universe. 
P.112 – §3 The Infinite Spirit is amazingly universal 
        and unbelievably versatile in all his operations. He performs in the spheres 
        of mind, matter, and spirit. The Conjoint Actor represents the Father-Son 
        association, but he also functions as himself. He is not directly concerned 
        with physical gravity, with spiritual gravity, or with the personality 
        circuit, but he more or less participates in all other universe activities. 
        While apparently dependent on three existential and absolute gravity controls, 
        the Infinite Spirit appears to exercise three supercontrols. This threefold 
        endowment is employed in many ways to transcend and seemingly to neutralize 
        even the manifestations of primary forces and energies, right up to the 
        superultimate borders of absoluteness. In certain situations these supercontrols 
        absolutely transcend even the primal manifestations of cosmic reality.

 4. THE TRINITY UNION OF DEITY – P.112 
         
P.112 – §4 Of all absolute associations, the Paradise 
        Trinity (the first triunity) is unique as an exclusive association of 
        personal Deity. God functions as God only in relation to God and to those 
        who can know God, but as absolute Deity only in the Paradise Trinity and 
        in relation to universe totality. 
P.112 – §5 Eternal Deity is perfectly unified; nevertheless 
        there are three perfectly individualized persons of Deity. The Paradise 
        Trinity makes possible the simultaneous expression of all the diversity 
        of the character traits and infinite powers of the First Source and Center 
        and his eternal co-ordinates and of all the divine unity of the universe 
        functions of undivided Deity. 
         
P.112 – §6 The Trinity is an association of infinite 
        persons functioning in a nonpersonal capacity but not in contravention 
        of personality. The illustration is crude, but a father, son, and grandson 
        could form a corporate entity which would be nonpersonal but nonetheless 
        subject to their personal wills. 
         
P.112 – §7 The Paradise Trinity is real. It exists 
        as the Deity union of Father, Son, and Spirit; yet the Father, the Son, 
        or the Spirit, or any two of them, can function in relation to this selfsame 
        Paradise Trinity. The Father, Son, and Spirit can collaborate in a non-Trinity 
        manner, but not as three Deities. As persons they can collaborate as they 
        choose, but that is not the Trinity. 
P.112 – §8 Ever remember that what the Infinite Spirit 
        does is the function of the Conjoint Actor. Both the Father and the Son 
        are functioning in and through and as him. But it would be futile to attempt 
        to elucidate the Trinity mystery: three as one and in one, and one as 
        two and acting for two. 
P.112 – §9 The Trinity is so related to total universe 
        affairs that it must be reckoned with in our attempts to explain the totality 
        of any isolated cosmic event or personality relationship. The Trinity 
        functions on all levels of the cosmos, and mortal man is  
         
P.113 – §0 limited to the finite level; therefore 
        must man be content with a finite concept of the Trinity as the Trinity. 
         
P.113 – §1 As a mortal in the flesh you should view 
        the Trinity in accordance with your individual enlightenment and in harmony 
        with the reactions of your mind and soul. You can know very little of 
        the absoluteness of the Trinity, but as you ascend Paradiseward, you will 
        many times experience astonishment at successive revelations and unexpected 
        discoveries of Trinity supremacy and ultimacy, if not of absoluteness.

 5. FUNCTIONS OF THE TRINITY – P.113 
         
P.113 – §2 The personal Deities have attributes, 
        but it is hardly consistent to speak of the Trinity as having attributes. 
        This association of divine beings may more properly be regarded as having 
        functions, such as justice administration, totality attitudes, co-ordinate 
        action, and cosmic overcontrol. These functions are actively supreme, 
        ultimate, and (within the limits of Deity) absolute as far as all living 
        realities of personality value are concerned. 
         
P.113 – §3 The functions of the Paradise Trinity 
        are not simply the sum of the Father’s apparent endowment of divinity 
        plus those specialized attributes that are unique in the personal existence 
        of the Son and the Spirit. The Trinity association of the three Paradise 
        Deities results in the evolution, eventuation, and deitization of new 
        meanings, values, powers, and capacities for universal revelation, action, 
        and administration. Living associations, human families, social groups, 
        or the Paradise Trinity are not augmented by mere arithmetical summation. 
        The group potential is always far in excess of the simple sum of the attributes 
        of the component individuals. 
P.113 – §4 The Trinity maintains a unique attitude 
        as the Trinity towards the entire universe of the past, present, and future. 
        And the functions of the Trinity can best be considered in relation to 
        the universe attitudes of the Trinity. Such attitudes are simultaneous 
        and may be multiple concerning any isolated situation or event: 
P.113 – §5 1. Attitude toward the Finite. The maximum 
        self-limitation of the Trinity is its attitude toward the finite. The 
        Trinity is not a person, nor is the Supreme Being an exclusive personalization 
        of the Trinity, but the Supreme is the nearest approach to a power-personality 
        focalization of the Trinity which can be comprehended by finite creatures. 
        Hence the Trinity in relation to the finite is sometimes spoken of as 
        the Trinity of Supremacy. 
P.113 – §6 2. Attitude toward the Absonite. The Paradise 
        Trinity has regard for those levels of existence which are more than finite 
        but less than absolute, and this relationship is sometimes denominated 
        the Trinity of Ultimacy. Neither the Ultimate nor the Supreme are wholly 
        representative of the Paradise Trinity, but in a qualified sense and to 
        their respective levels, each seems to represent the Trinity during the 
        prepersonal eras of experiential-power development. 
P.113 – §7 3. The Absolute Attitude of the Paradise 
        Trinity is in relation to absolute existences and culminates in the action 
        of total Deity. 
P.113 – §8 The Trinity Infinite involves the co-ordinate 
        action of all triunity relationships of the First Source and Center–undeified 
        as well as deified–and hence is very difficult for personalities to grasp. 
        In the contemplation of the Trinity as infinite, do not ignore the seven 
        triunities; thereby certain difficulties of understanding may be avoided, 
        and certain paradoxes may be partially resolved. 
         
P.114 – §1 But I do not command language which would 
        enable me to convey to the limited human mind the full truth and the eternal 
        significance of the Paradise Trinity and the nature of the never-ending 
        interassociation of the three beings of infinite perfection.

 6. THE STATIONARY SONS OF THE TRINITY – P.114 
         
P.114 – §2 All law takes origin in the First Source 
        and Center; he is law. The administration of spiritual law inheres in 
        the Second Source and Center. The revelation of law, the promulgation 
        and interpretation of the divine statutes, is the function of the Third 
        Source and Center. The application of law, justice, falls within the province 
        of the Paradise Trinity and is carried out by certain Sons of the Trinity. 
P.114 – §3 Justice is inherent in the universal sovereignty 
        of the Paradise Trinity, but goodness, mercy, and truth are the universe 
        ministry of the divine personalities, whose Deity union constitutes the 
        Trinity. Justice is not the attitude of the Father, the Son, or the Spirit. 
        Justice is the Trinity attitude of these personalities of love, mercy, 
        and ministry. No one of the Paradise Deities fosters the administration 
        of justice. Justice is never a personal attitude; it is always a plural 
        function. 
P.114 – §4 Evidence, the basis of fairness (justice 
        in harmony with mercy), is supplied by the personalities of the Third 
        Source and Center, the conjoint representative of the Father and the Son 
        to all realms and to the minds of the intelligent beings of all creation. 
P.114 – §5 Judgment, the final application of justice 
        in accordance with the evidence submitted by the personalities of the 
        Infinite Spirit, is the work of the Stationary Sons of the Trinity, beings 
        partaking of the Trinity nature of the united Father, Son, and Spirit. 
P.114 – §6 This group of Trinity Sons embraces the 
        following personalities: 
P.114 – §7 1. Trinitized Secrets of Supremacy. 
         
P.114 – §8 2. Eternals of Days. 
         
P.114 – §9 3. Ancients of Days. 
         
P.114 – §10 4. Perfections of Days.

P.114 – §16 10. Universal Censors. 
P.114 – §17 We are the children of the three Paradise 
        Deities functioning as the Trinity, for I chance to belong to the tenth 
        order of this group, the Universal Censors. These orders are not representative 
        of the attitude of the Trinity in a universal sense; they represent this 
        collective attitude of Deity only in the domains of executive judgment–justice. 
        They were specifically designed by the Trinity for the precise work to 
        which they are assigned, and they represent the Trinity only in those 
        functions for which they were personalized. 
         
P.115 – §1 The Ancients of Days and their Trinity-origin 
        associates mete out the just judgment of supreme fairness to the seven 
        superuniverses. In the central universe such functions exist in theory 
        only; there fairness is self-evident in perfection, and Havona perfection 
        precludes all possibility of disharmony. 
         
P.115 – §2 Justice is the collective thought of righteousness; 
        mercy is its personal expression. Mercy is the attitude of love; precision 
        characterizes the operation of law; divine judgment is the soul of fairness, 
        ever conforming to the justice of the Trinity, ever fulfilling the divine 
        love of God. When fully perceived and completely understood, the righteous 
        justice of the Trinity and the merciful love of the Universal Father are 
        coincident. But man has no such full understanding of divine justice. 
        Thus in the Trinity, as man would view it, the personalities of Father, 
        Son, and Spirit are adjusted to co-ordinate ministry of love and law in 
        the experiential universes of time.

 7. THE OVERCONTROL OF SUPREMACY – P.115 
         
P.115 – §3 The First, Second, and Third Persons of 
        Deity are equal to each other, and they are one. "The Lord our God 
        is one God." There is perfection of purpose and oneness of execution 
        in the divine Trinity of eternal Deities. The Father, the Son, and the 
        Conjoint Actor are truly and divinely one. Of a truth it is written: "I 
        am the first, and I am the last, and beside me there is no God." 
P.115 – §4 As things appear to the mortal on the 
        finite level, the Paradise Trinity, like the Supreme Being, is concerned 
        only with the total–total planet, total universe, total superuniverse, 
        total grand universe. This totality attitude exists because the Trinity 
        is the total of Deity and for many other reasons. 
         
P.115 – §5 The Supreme Being is something less and 
        something other than the Trinity functioning in the finite universes; 
        but within certain limits and during the present era of incomplete power-personalization, 
        this evolutionary Deity does appear to reflect the attitude of the Trinity 
        of Supremacy. The Father, Son, and Spirit do not personally function with 
        the Supreme Being, but during the present universe age they collaborate 
        with him as the Trinity. We understand that they sustain a similar relationship 
        to the Ultimate. We often conjecture as to what will be the personal relationship 
        between the Paradise Deities and God the Supreme when he has finally evolved, 
        but we do not really know. 
P.115 – §6 We do not find the overcontrol of Supremacy 
        to be wholly predictable. Furthermore, this unpredictability appears to 
        be characterized by a certain developmental incompleteness, undoubtedly 
        an earmark of the incompleteness of the Supreme and of the incompleteness 
        of finite reaction to the Paradise Trinity. 
         
P.115 – §7 The mortal mind can immediately think 
        of a thousand and one things–catastrophic physical events, appalling 
        accidents, horrific disasters, painful illnesses, and world-wide scourges–and 
        ask whether such visitations are correlated in the unknown maneuvering 
        of this probable functioning of the Supreme Being. Frankly, we do not 
        know; we are not really sure. But we do observe that, as time passes, 
        all these difficult and more or less mysterious situations always work 
        out for the welfare and progress of the universes. It may be that the 
        circumstances of existence and the inexplicable vicissitudes of living 
        are all interwoven into a meaningful pattern of high value by the function 
        of the Supreme and the overcontrol of the Trinity. 
         
P.116 – §1 As a son of God you can discern the personal 
        attitude of love in all the acts of God the Father. But you will not always 
        be able to understand how many of the universe acts of the Paradise Trinity 
        redound to the good of the individual mortal on the evolutionary worlds 
        of space. In the progress of eternity the acts of the Trinity will be 
        revealed as altogether meaningful and considerate, but they do not always 
        so appear to the creatures of time.

 8. THE TRINITY BEYOND THE FINITE – P.116 
         
P.116 – §2 Many truths and facts pertaining to the 
        Paradise Trinity can only be even partially comprehended by recognizing 
        a function that transcends the finite. 
         
P.116 – §3 It would be inadvisable to discuss the 
        functions of the Trinity of Ultimacy, but it may be disclosed that God 
        the Ultimate is the Trinity manifestation comprehended by the Transcendentalers. 
        We are inclined to the belief that the unification of the master universe 
        is the eventuating act of the Ultimate and is probably reflective of certain, 
        but not all, phases of the absonite overcontrol of the Paradise Trinity. 
        The Ultimate is a qualified manifestation of the Trinity in relation to 
        the absonite only in the sense that the Supreme thus partially represents 
        the Trinity in relation to the finite. 
P.116 – §4 The Universal Father, the Eternal Son, 
        and the Infinite Spirit are, in a certain sense, the constituent personalities 
        of total Deity. Their union in the Paradise Trinity and the absolute function 
        of the Trinity equivalate to the function of total Deity. And such completion 
        of Deity transcends both the finite and the absonite. 
         
P.116 – §5 While no single person of the Paradise 
        Deities actually fills all Deity potential, collectively all three do. 
        Three infinite persons seem to be the minimum number of beings required 
        to activate the prepersonal and existential potential of total Deity–the 
        Deity Absolute. 
         
P.116 – §6 We know the Universal Father, the Eternal 
        Son, and the Infinite Spirit as persons, but I do not personally know 
        the Deity Absolute. I love and worship God the Father; I respect and honor 
        the Deity Absolute. 
P.116 – §7 I once sojourned in a universe where a 
        certain group of beings taught that the finaliters, in eternity, were 
        eventually to become the children of the Deity Absolute. But I am unwilling 
        to accept this solution of the mystery which enshrouds the future of the 
        finaliters. 
         
P.116 – §8 The Corps of the Finality embrace, among 
        others, those mortals of time and space who have attained perfection in 
        all that pertains to the will of God. As creatures and within the limits 
        of creature capacity they fully and truly know God. Having thus found 
        God as the Father of all creatures, these finaliters must sometime begin 
        the quest for the superfinite Father. But this quest involves a grasp 
        of the absonite nature of the ultimate attributes and character of the 
        Paradise Father. Eternity will disclose whether such an attainment is 
        possible, but we are convinced, even if the finaliters do grasp this ultimate 
        of divinity, they will probably be unable to attain the superultimate 
        levels of absolute Deity. 
         
P.116 – §9 It may be possible that the finaliters 
        will partially attain the Deity Absolute, but even if they should, still 
        in the eternity of eternities the problem of the Universal Absolute will 
        continue to intrigue, mystify, baffle, and challenge the ascending and 
        progressing finaliters, for we perceive that the unfathomability of  
         
P.117 – §0 the cosmic relationships of the Universal 
        Absolute will tend to grow in proportions as the material universes and 
        their spiritual administration continue to expand. 
P.117 – §1 Only infinity can disclose the Father-Infinite. 
         
P.117 – §2 [Sponsored by a Universal Censor acting 
        by authority from the Ancients of Days resident on Uversa.]
