| 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]] [[channel]]s 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. | | 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]] [[channel]]s of the [[human]] [[intellect]].

| 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 [[volition]]al, the purposeful, and the [[personal]]. | | The Eternal Son is the spiritual personalization of the Paradise Father's [[universal]] and [[infinite]] concept of divine [[reality]], unqualified [[spirit]], and absolute [[personality]].

− | 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." 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.
