=[|The Eternal Son]=

[|PAPER 6]: [|THE ETERNAL SON]
6:0.1 The Eternal Son is the [|perfect] and final [|expression] of the "first" [|personal] and [|absolute] [|concept] of the [|Universal Father]. Accordingly, whenever and however the Father personally and absolutely expresses himself, he does so through his Eternal Son, who ever has been, now is, and ever will be, the living and [|divine Word]. And this Eternal Son is residential at the [|center] of [|all things], in [|association] with, and [|immediately] enshrouding the personal [|presence] of, the Eternal and [|Universal Father]. 6:0.2 We speak of [|God]'s "first" thought and allude to an impossible [|time] [|origin] of the Eternal Son for the [|purpose] of gaining access to the thought [|channels] of the [|human] [|intellect]. Such distortions of [|language] represent our best efforts at contact-[|compromise] with the time-bound minds of [|mortal] [|creatures]. In the sequential sense the Universal Father never could have had a first thought, nor could the Eternal Son ever have had a beginning. But I was instructed to portray the [|realities] of eternity to the time-limited minds of mortals by such [|symbols] of thought and to designate the [|relationships] of eternity by such time concepts of [|sequentiality]. 6:0.3 The Eternal Son is the spiritual [|personalization] of the [|Paradise] [|Father]'s [|universal] and [|infinite] concept of [|divine] [|reality], unqualified [|spirit], and [|absolute] [|personality]. And thereby does the Son constitute the divine [|revelation] of the [|creator] [|identity] of the [|Universal Father]. The [|perfect] personality of the Son discloses that the Father is actually the eternal and universal [|source] of all the [|meanings] and [|values] of the [|spiritual], the [|volitional], the [|purposeful], and the [|personal]. 6:0.4 In an effort to enable the finite mind of time to form some sequential concept of the relationships of the eternal and infinite beings of the [|Paradise Trinity], we utilize such [|license] of conception as to refer to the "Father's first personal, universal, and infinite concept."[|[1]] It is impossible for me to convey to the human mind any adequate [|idea] of the eternal [|relations] of the [|Deities]; therefore do I employ such terms as will afford the finite mind something of an idea of the relationship of these eternal [|beings] in the [|subsequent eras of time]. We believe the Son sprang from the Father; we are taught that both are unqualifiedly eternal. It is apparent, therefore, that no time creature can ever fully [|comprehend] this [|mystery] of a Son who is derived from the Father, and yet who is co-ordinately eternal with the Father himself. 

[|6:1. IDENTITY OF THE ETERNAL SON]
6:1.1 The [|Eternal Son] is the [|original] and only-begotten Son of God[|[2]]. He is [|God the Son], the [|Second Person] of Deity and the associate [|creator] of [|all things]. As the Father is the First Great [|Source and Center], so the Eternal Son is the [|Second Great Source and Center]. 6:1.2 The Eternal Son is the [|spiritual] [|center] and the divine [|administrator] of the spiritual [|government] of the [|universe of universes]. The [|Universal Father] is first a [|creator] and then a controller; the Eternal Son is first a [|cocreator] and then a spiritual [|administrator]. "God is spirit,"[|[3]] and the Son is a [|personal] [|revelation] of that [|spirit]. The [|First Source and Center] is the [|Volitional] [|Absolute]; the Second Source and Center is the [|Personality] Absolute. 6:1.3 The [|Universal Father] never [|personally] [|functions] as a creator except in [|conjunction] with the Son or with the co-ordinate [|action] of the Son. Had the [|New Testament] [|writer] referred to the Eternal Son, he would have uttered the [|truth] when he wrote: "In the beginning was the [|Word], and the Word was with [|God], and the Word was God. [|All things] were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made."[|[4]] 6:1.4 When a [|Son] of the Eternal Son appeared on [|Urantia], those who fraternized with this [|divine] [|being] in human form alluded to him as "He who was from the beginning, whom we have heard, whom we have [|seen] with our eyes, whom we have looked upon, and our hands have [|handled], even the [|Word] of life."[|[5]] And this [|bestowal Son] came forth from [|the Father] just as truly as did the [|Original Son], as is suggested in one of his [|earthly] [|prayers]: "And now, O my Father, [|glorify] me with your own self, with the glory which I had with you before this world was."[|[6]] 6:1.5 The Eternal Son is known by [|different] [|names] in various [|universes]. In the [|central universe] he is known as the //Co-ordinate Source//, the //Cocreator//, and the //Associate Absolute//. On [|Uversa], the [|headquarters] of the [|superuniverse], we designate the Son as the //Co-ordinate Spirit Center// and as the //Eternal Spirit Administrator//. On [|Salvington], the headquarters of your [|local universe], this Son is of record as the //Second Eternal Source and Center//. The [|Melchizedeks] speak of him as the //Son of Sons//. On your world, but not in your [|system] of inhabited [|spheres], this //Original Son// has been confused with a co-ordinate [|Creator Son], [|Michael] of Nebadon, who [|bestowed himself] upon the [|mortal] [|races] of [|Urantia]. 6:1.6 Although any of the [|Paradise Sons] may fittingly be called Sons of God, we are in the [|habit] of reserving the designation "the Eternal Son" for this Original Son, the [|Second Source and Center], [|cocreator] with the [|Universal Father] of the [|central universe] of [|power] and [|perfection] and cocreator of [|all other divine Sons] who spring from the [|infinite] [|Deities]. 

[|6:2. NATURE OF THE ETERNAL SON]
6:2.1 The Eternal Son is just as changeless and [|infinitely] [|dependable] as the [|Universal Father]. He is also just as [|spiritual] as the Father, just as truly an unlimited [|spirit]. To you of [|lowly] [|origin] the Son would appear to be more [|personal] since he is one step nearer you in approachability than is the Universal Father. 6:2.2 The Eternal Son is the eternal [|Word of God]. He is wholly like the Father; in [|fact], the Eternal Son //is// God the Father personally [|manifest] to the [|universe of universes]. And thus it was and is and forever will be true of the Eternal Son and of all the co-ordinate [|Creator Sons]: "He who has seen the Son has seen the Father."[|[7]] 6:2.3 In [|nature] the Son is wholly like the [|spirit] Father. When we [|worship] the [|Universal Father], actually we at the same time worship God the Son and [|God the Spirit]. God the Son is just as [|divinely] real and [|eternal] in nature as God the Father. 6:2.4 The Son not only possesses all the Father's infinite and [|transcendent] [|righteousness], but the Son is also [|reflective] of all the Father's [|holiness] of [|character]. The Son [|shares] the Father's [|perfection] and jointly shares the [|responsibility] of aiding all [|creatures] of imperfection in their spiritual [|efforts] to [|attain] divine perfection. 6:2.5 The Eternal Son possesses all the [|Father]'s [|character] of [|divinity] and [|attributes] of [|spirituality]. The Son is the fullness of God's [|absoluteness] in [|personality] and [|spirit], and these qualities the Son reveals in his [|personal] [|management] of the spiritual [|government] of the [|universe of universes]. 6:2.6 [|God] is, indeed, a [|universal] [|spirit]; God is spirit; and this spirit nature of the Father is [|focalized] and [|personalized] in the [|Deity] of the Eternal Son. In the Son all spiritual characteristics are apparently greatly enhanced by [|differentiation] from the [|universality] of the [|First Source and Center]. And as the Father [|shares] his spirit [|nature] with the Son, so do they together just as fully and unreservedly share the divine spirit with the Conjoint Actor, the [|Infinite Spirit]. 6:2.7 In the [|love] of [|truth] and in the [|creation] of [|beauty] the Father and the Son are [|equal] except that the Son appears to [|devote] himself more to the [|realization] of the exclusively spiritual [|beauty] of universal [|values]. 6:2.8 In divine [|goodness] I discern no [|difference] between the Father and the Son. The Father [|loves] his [|universe children] as a [|father]; the Eternal Son looks upon all [|creatures] both as father and as brother. 

[|6:3. MINISTRY OF THE FATHER'S LOVE]
6:3.1 The Son [|shares] the [|justice] and [|righteousness] of the [|Trinity] but overshadows these [|divinity] [|traits] by the [|infinite] [|personalization] of the [|Father]'s [|love] and [|mercy]; the Son is the [|revelation] of divine love to the [|universes]. As God is love[|[8]], so the Son is [|mercy]. The Son cannot love more than the Father, but he can show mercy to [|creatures] in one additional way, for he not only is a primal [|creator] like the Father, but he is also the Eternal Son of that same Father, thereby sharing in the [|sonship] [|experience] of all other sons of the [|Universal Father]. 6:3.2 The Eternal Son is the great [|mercy] minister to all [|creation]. Mercy is the [|essence] of the Son's spiritual [|character]. The [|mandates] of the Eternal Son, as they go forth over the [|spirit circuits] of the [|Second Source and Center], are keyed in [|tones] of [|mercy]. 6:3.3 To [|comprehend] the [|love] of the Eternal Son, you must first [|perceive] its divine source, the Father, who is love, and then behold the [|unfolding] of this infinite [|affection] in the far-flung [|ministry] of the [|Infinite Spirit] and his almost [|limitless host] of ministering [|personalities]. 6:3.4 The ministry of the Eternal Son is [|devoted] to the [|revelation] of the [|God] of [|love] to the [|universe of universes]. This divine Son is not engaged in the ignoble [|task] of trying to persuade his [|gracious] [|Father] to love his lowly [|creatures] and to show mercy to the wrongdoers of [|time]. How wrong to envisage the Eternal Son as appealing to the Universal Father to show mercy to his lowly creatures on the [|material worlds] of [|space]! Such [|concepts] of [|God] are crude and [|grotesque]. Rather should you [|realize] that all the merciful ministrations of the [|Sons of God] are a [|direct] [|revelation] of the Father's [|heart] of [|universal] love and [|infinite] [|compassion]. The Father's love is the real and eternal source of the Son's mercy. 6:3.5 God is love, the Son is mercy. Mercy is [|applied] love, the Father's love in [|action] in the [|person] of his Eternal Son. The love of this universal Son is likewise [|universal]. As love is [|comprehended] on a [|sex] [|planet], the love of God is more comparable to the love of a father, while the love of the Eternal Son is more like the [|affection] of a [|mother]. Crude, indeed, are such illustrations, but I employ them in the [|hope] of conveying to the [|human] [|mind] the [|thought] that there is a [|difference], not in divine [|content] but in [|quality] and [|technique] of [|expression], between the love of the Father and the love of the Son. 

[|6:4. ATTRIBUTES OF THE ETERNAL SON]
6:4.1 The Eternal Son [|motivates] the [|spirit] level of [|cosmic] [|reality]; the spiritual power of the Son is [|absolute] in [|relation] to all [|universe] [|actualities]. He exercises [|perfect] [|control] over the inter[|association] of all undifferentiated [|spirit] energy and over all actualized spirit reality through his absolute grasp of [|spirit gravity]. All [|pure] unfragmented spirit and all spiritual [|beings] and [|values] are [|responsive] to the infinite drawing power of the primal Son of [|Paradise]. And if the eternal future should [|witness] the [|appearance] of an unlimited universe, the spirit gravity and the spirit power of the Original Son will be found wholly adequate for the spiritual [|control] and effective [|administration] of such a boundless [|creation]. 6:4.2 The Son is [|omnipotent] only in the spiritual realm. In the eternal [|economy] of [|universe] [|administration], wasteful and needless repetition of [|function] is never encountered; the Deities are not given to useless duplication of universe [|ministry]. 6:4.3 The [|omnipresence] of the Original Son constitutes the spiritual unity of the [|universe of universes]. The spiritual cohesion of all creation rests upon the everywhere active [|presence] of the divine spirit of the Eternal Son. When we conceive of the Father's spiritual presence, we find it difficult to differentiate it in our thinking from the spiritual presence of the Eternal Son. The spirit of the Father is eternally resident in the spirit of the Son. 6:4.4 The Father must be spiritually omnipresent, but such [|omnipresence] appears to be inseparable from the everywhere spirit [|activities] of the Eternal Son. We do, however, believe that in all situations of Father-Son presence of a dual spiritual nature the spirit of the Son is [|co-ordinate] with the spirit of the Father. 6:4.5 In his contact with [|personality], the Father acts in the [|personality circuit]. In his personal and detectable contact with [|spiritual] [|creation], he appears in the [|fragments] of the [|totality] of his [|Deity], and these [|Father fragments] have a [|solitary], [|unique], and exclusive [|function] wherever and whenever they appear in the universes. In all such situations the spirit of the Son is co-ordinate with the spiritual function of the fragmented presence of the Universal Father. 6:4.6 Spiritually the Eternal Son is omnipresent. The spirit of the Eternal Son is most certainly with you and around you, but not within you and a part of you like the [|Mystery Monitor]. The indwelling Father fragment adjusts the human mind to [|progressively] divine [|attitudes], whereupon such an [|ascending] mind becomes increasingly [|responsive] to the spiritual drawing power of the all-powerful [|spirit-gravity circuit] of the Second Source and Center. 6:4.7 The Original Son is [|universally] and spiritually self-conscious. In [|wisdom] the Son is the full equal of [|the Father]. In the realms of [|knowledge], [|omniscience], we cannot distinguish between the First and Second Sources; like the Father, the Son knows all; he is never surprised by any universe [|event]; he comprehends the end from the beginning. 6:4.8 The Father and the Son really know the [|number] and whereabouts of all the spirits and spiritualized [|beings] in the [|universe of universes]. Not only does the Son know [|all things] by [|virtue] of his own omnipresent spirit, but the Son, equally with the Father and the [|Conjoint Actor], is fully cognizant of the vast [|reflectivity] [|intelligence] of the [|Supreme Being], which intelligence is at all times aware of all things that transpire on all the worlds of [|the seven superuniverses]. And there are other ways in which the Paradise Son is omniscient. 6:4.9 The Eternal Son, as a loving, merciful, and ministering spiritual personality, is wholly and infinitely [|equal] with the Universal Father, while in all those [|merciful] and [|affectionate] [|personal] [|contacts] with the [|ascendant beings] of the lower realms the Eternal Son is just as [|kind] and considerate, just as patient and long-suffering, as are his [|Paradise Sons] in the [|local universes] who so frequently [|bestow themselves] upon the [|evolutionary worlds of time]. 6:4.10 It is needless further to expatiate on the [|attributes] of the Eternal Son. With the exceptions noted, it is only [|necessary] to [|study] the spiritual attributes of [|God the Father] to understand and correctly evaluate the attributes of God the Son. 

[|6:5. LIMITATIONS OF THE ETERNAL SON]
6:5.1 The Eternal Son does not [|personally] [|function] in the [|physical] [|domains], nor does he function, except through the [|Conjoint Actor], in the levels of [|mind] [|ministry] to [|creature] [|beings]. But these qualifications do not in any [|manner] otherwise limit the Eternal Son in the full and [|free] [|exercise] of all the [|divine] [|attributes] of spiritual [|omniscience], [|omnipresence], and [|omnipotence]. 6:5.2 The Eternal Son does not personally pervade the [|potentials] of spirit inherent in the [|infinity] of the [|Deity Absolute], but as these [|potentials] become [|actual], they come within the all-powerful grasp of the [|spirit-gravity] [|circuit] of the Son. 6:5.3 [|Personality] is the exclusive gift of the [|Universal Father]. The Eternal Son derives personality from the Father, but he does not, without the Father, bestow personality. The Son gives [|origin] to a vast [|spirit host], but such derivations are not personalities. When the Son creates personality, he does so in [|conjunction] with [|the Father] or with the [|Conjoint Creator], who may [|act] for the Father in such [|relationships]. The Eternal Son is thus a cocreator of personalities, but he bestows personality upon no being and of himself, alone, never creates [|personal] [|beings]. This [|limitation] of [|action] does not, however, deprive the Son of the ability to [|create] any or all [|types] of other-than-personal [|reality]. 6:5.4 The Eternal Son is limited in transmittal of [|creator] prerogatives. The Father, in eternalizing the Original Son, bestowed upon him the [|power] and [|privilege] of subsequently joining with the Father in the divine act of producing additional Sons possessing creative attributes, and this they have done and now do. But when these [|co-ordinate Sons] have been produced, the prerogatives of creatorship are apparently not further transmissible. The Eternal Son [|transmits] creatorship powers only to the first or [|direct] [|personalization]. Therefore, when the Father and the Son unite to personalize a [|Creator Son], they [|achieve] their [|purpose]; but the Creator Son thus brought into [|existence] is never able to transmit or delegate the prerogatives of creatorship to the [|various orders of Sons] which he may subsequently create, notwithstanding that, in the [|highest local universe Sons], there does appear a very limited [|reflection] of the [|creative] [|attributes] of a Creator Son. 6:5.5 The Eternal Son, as an infinite and exclusively [|personal] being, cannot [|fragmentize] his nature, cannot distribute and bestow individualized portions of his selfhood upon other [|entities] or [|persons] as do the Universal Father and the Infinite Spirit. But the Son can and does bestow himself as an [|unlimited spirit] to bathe all creation and unceasingly draw all spirit personalities and spiritual realities to himself. 6:5.6 Ever remember, the Eternal Son is the personal portrayal of the spirit Father to all creation. The Son is personal and nothing but personal in the [|Deity] sense; such a divine and [|absolute] [|personality] cannot be disintegrated or fragmentized. [|God the Father] and [|God the Spirit] are truly personal, but they are also everything else in addition to being such Deity personalities. 6:5.7 Though the Eternal Son cannot personally participate in the bestowal of the [|Thought Adjusters], he did sit in council with the Universal Father in the eternal past, approving the plan and pledging endless [|co-operation], when the Father, in projecting the bestowal of the Thought Adjusters, proposed to the Son, "Let us make mortal man in our own image."[|[9]] And as the [|spirit fragment] of the Father dwells within you, so does the spirit presence of the Son envelop you, while these two forever [|work] as one for your [|spiritual] [|advancement]. 

[|6:6. THE SPIRIT MIND]
6:6.1 The Eternal Son is [|spirit] and has [|mind], but not a mind or a spirit which [|mortal] mind can [|comprehend]. Mortal man [|perceives] mind on the [|finite], [|cosmic], [|material], and [|personal] levels. Man also observes mind [|phenomena] in living [|organisms] [|functioning] on the subpersonal ([|animal]) level, but it is [|difficult] for him to grasp the nature of mind when [|associated] with supermaterial beings and as a part of exclusive [|spirit] [|personalities]. Mind must, however, be differently defined when it refers to the spirit level of [|existence], and when it is used to denote spirit functions of [|intelligence]. That kind of mind which is directly allied with [|spirit] is comparable neither to that mind which [|co-ordinates] [|spirit] and [|matter] nor to that mind which is allied only with [|matter]. 6:6.2 Spirit is ever conscious, minded, and possessed of varied [|phases] of [|identity]. Without mind in some phase there would be no spiritual [|consciousness] in the [|fraternity] of spirit beings. The equivalent of [|mind], the ability to know and be known, is indigenous to [|Deity]. Deity may be personal, prepersonal, superpersonal, or impersonal, but Deity is never mindless, that is, never without the ability at least to [|communicate] with similar [|entities], [|beings], or [|personalities]. 6:6.3 The mind of the Eternal Son is like that of [|the Father] but unlike any other mind in the [|universe], and with the mind of the Father it is ancestor to the [|diverse] and far-flung minds of the [|Conjoint Creator]. The mind of the Father and the Son, that [|intellect] which is ancestral to the [|absolute] mind of the [|Third Source and Center], is perhaps best [|illustrated] in the premind of a [|Thought Adjuster], for, though these Father [|fragments] are entirely outside of the mind [|circuits] of the Conjoint Actor, they have some form of premind; they know as they are known; they enjoy the equivalent of [|human] [|thinking]. 6:6.4 The Eternal Son is wholly [|spiritual]; man is very nearly entirely [|material]; therefore much pertaining to the spirit personality of the Eternal Son, to his [|seven spiritual spheres] encircling [|Paradise] and to the nature of the impersonal creations of the Paradise Son, will have to await your [|attainment] of [|spirit] [|status] following your completion of the [|morontia] [|ascension] of the local universe of [|Nebadon]. And then, as you pass through the [|superuniverse] and on to [|Havona], many of these spirit-concealed [|mysteries] will [|clarify] as you begin to be endowed with the "mind of the spirit"—[|spiritual] [|insight]. 

[|6:7. PERSONALITY OF THE ETERNAL SON]
6:7.1 The Eternal Son is that [|infinite] [|personality] from whose unqualified personality fetters the [|Universal Father] escaped by the [|technique of trinitization], and by [|virtue] of which he has ever since continued to bestow himself in endless profusion upon his [|ever-expanding universe] of [|Creators] and [|creatures]. The Son is [|absolute] [|personality]; God is father personality—the source of personality, the bestower of personality, the [|cause] of personality. Every personal being derives personality from the Universal Father just as the Original Son eternally derives his personality from the Paradise Father. 6:7.2 The personality of the Paradise Son is [|absolute] and [|purely] [|spiritual], and this absolute personality is also the [|divine] and [|eternal] [|pattern], first, of the Father's bestowal of personality upon the [|Conjoint Actor] and, subsequently, of his bestowal of personality upon the [|myriads of his creatures] throughout a [|far-flung universe]. 6:7.3 The Eternal Son is truly a [|merciful] minister, a divine spirit, a spiritual power, and a real personality. The Son is the spiritual and personal nature of God made [|manifest] to the [|universes]—the sum and substance of the [|First Source and Center], divested of all that which is nonpersonal, extradivine, nonspiritual, and pure [|potential]. But it is impossible to convey to the human [|mind] a [|word] picture of the [|beauty] and [|grandeur] of the supernal personality of the Eternal Son. Everything that tends to obscure the Universal Father operates with almost [|equal] [|influence] to prevent the conceptual recognition of the Eternal Son. You must await your [|attainment] of [|Paradise], and then you will [|understand] why I was unable to portray the [|character] of this [|absolute] [|personality] to the [|understanding] of the [|finite] [|mind]. 

[|6:8. REALIZATION OF THE ETERNAL SON]
6:8.1 Concerning [|identity], [|nature], and other [|attributes] of [|personality], the Eternal Son is the full [|equal], the [|perfect] [|complement], and the [|eternal] counterpart of the [|Universal Father]. In the same [|sense] that God is the Universal Father, the Son is the [|Universal] [|Mother]. And all of us, high and low, constitute their universal [|family]. 6:8.2 To [|appreciate] the [|character] of the Son, you should [|study] the [|revelation] of the divine character of the Father; they are forever and inseparably one. As divine personalities they are virtually indistinguishable by the lower orders of [|intelligence]. They are not so difficult of separate recognition by those whose [|origin] is in the [|creative] [|acts] of the [|Deities] themselves. Beings of nativity in the [|central universe] and on [|Paradise] [|discern] the Father and the Son not only as one [|personal] [|unity] of universal [|control] but also as two separate [|personalities] [|functioning] in definite domains of [|universe] [|administration]. 6:8.3 As persons you may conceive of the Universal Father and the Eternal Son as separate [|individuals], for they indeed are; but in the [|administration of the universes] they are so intertwined and interrelated that it is not always possible to distinguish between them. When, in the affairs of the [|universes], the Father and the Son are encountered in [|confusing] inter[|associations], it is not always profitable to attempt to segregate their operations; merely recall that God is the initiating [|thought] and the Son is the [|expressionful] [|word]. In each [|local universe] this inseparability is [|personalized] in the [|divinity] of the [|Creator Son], who stands for both Father and Son to the creatures of [|ten million inhabited worlds]. 6:8.4 The Eternal Son is [|infinite], but he is approachable through the persons of his Paradise Sons and through the patient ministry of the Infinite Spirit. Without the [|bestowal service] of the [|Paradise Sons] and the loving [|ministry] of the [|creatures of the Infinite Spirit], [|beings] of [|material] [|origin] could hardly [|hope] to [|attain] the Eternal Son. And it is equally true: With the help and [|guidance] of these [|celestial] [|agencies] the [|God-conscious] [|mortal] will certainly [|attain] [|Paradise] and sometime stand in the [|personal] [|presence] of this [|majestic] [|Son of Sons]. 6:8.5 Even though the Eternal Son is the [|pattern] of mortal personality [|attainment], you find it easier to grasp the reality of both the Father and [|the Spirit] because the Father is the actual bestower of your [|human] [|personality] and the Infinite Spirit is the absolute source of your [|mortal mind]. But as you [|ascend] in the Paradise path of spiritual progression, the personality of the Eternal Son will become increasingly real to you, and the [|reality] of his infinitely spiritual mind will become more [|discernible] to your progressively spiritualizing mind. 6:8.6 Never can the concept of the Eternal Son shine brightly in your material or subsequent [|morontial] mind; not until you spiritize and commence your spirit [|ascension] will the [|comprehension] of the personality of the Eternal Son begin to [|equal] the [|vividness] of your concept of the personality of the [|Creator Son] of [|Paradise] [|origin] who, in person and as a person, onetime [|incarnated] and [|lived on Urantia as a man among men]. 6:8.7 Throughout your [|local universe] [|experience] the [|Creator Son], whose [|personality] is comprehensible by man, must compensate for your inability to grasp the full significance of the more exclusively spiritual, but none the less personal, Eternal Son of Paradise. As you [|progress] through [|Orvonton] and [|Havona], as you leave behind you the vivid picture and deep [|memories] of the [|Creator Son] of your [|local universe], the passing of this [|material] and [|morontia] [|experience] will be compensated by ever-enlarging [|concepts] and intensifying [|comprehension] of the Eternal Son of [|Paradise], whose [|reality] and nearness will ever augment as you [|progress] [|Paradiseward]. 6:8.8 The Eternal Son is a grand and [|glorious] [|personality]. Although it is beyond the powers of the [|mortal] and [|material] [|mind] to grasp the [|actuality] of the [|personality] of such an infinite [|being], doubt not, he is a [|person]. I know whereof I speak. Times almost without [|number] I have stood in the divine presence of this Eternal Son and then [|journeyed] forth in the universe to execute his [|gracious] bidding. 6:8.9 [Indited by a [|Divine Counselor] assigned to formulate this [|statement] depicting the Eternal Son of [|Paradise].]
