2:1.6 The [[Universal Father]] is absolutely and without qualification infinite in all his [[attributes]]; and this [[fact]], in and of itself, [[automatic]]ally shuts him off from all [[Immediate|direct]] [[personal]] [[communication]] with [[finite]] [[material]] [[beings]] and other lowly created [[intelligence]]s.

2:1.7 And all this [[Necessary|necessitates]] such arrangements for contact and [[communication]] with his manifold [[creatures]] as have been ordained, first, in the personalities of the [[Paper 20 - The Paradise Sons of God|Paradise Sons of God]], who, although [[perfect]] in [[divinity]], also often partake of the [[nature]] of the very [[Body|flesh and blood]] of the planetary [[races]], becoming one of you and one with you; thus, as it were, God becomes man, as occurred in the ]]Paper 120 - The Bestowal of Michael on Urantia|bestowal of Michael]], who was called interchangeably the Son of God and the Son of Man. And second, there are the [[Paper 38 - Ministering Spirits of the Local Universe|personalities of the Infinite Spirit]], the various [[Paper 39 - The Seraphic Hosts|orders of the seraphic hosts]] and other [[Midwayers|celestial intelligences]] who draw near to the [[Mortal|material beings]] of lowly origin and in so many ways minister to them and serve them. And third, there are the impersonal Mystery Monitors, [[Thought Adjusters]], the actual gift of the great [[God]] himself sent to indwell such as the [[humans]] of [[Urantia]], sent without announcement and without explanation. In endless profusion they [[descend]] from the heights of [[glory]] to [[grace]] and indwell the humble minds of those [[mortals]] who possess the capacity for [[God-consciousness]] or the [[potential]] therefor.

2:1.8 In these ways and in many others, in ways unknown to you and utterly beyond finite [[comprehension]], does the [[Paradise]] [[Father]] lovingly and willingly downstep and otherwise modify, dilute, and attenuate his [[infinity]] in order that he may be able to draw nearer the finite minds of his [[creature]] [[children]]. And so, through a series of [[personality]] distributions which are diminishingly [[absolute]], the infinite Father is enabled to enjoy close contact with the diverse intelligences of the many realms of his [[Master Universe|far-flung universe]].
