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 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20 divine Sons] and their [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_9#9:8._PERSONALITIES_OF_THE_INFINITE_SPIRIT associated intelligences] every [[power]] and all [[authority]] that could be delegated. He has actually transferred to his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:5._RELATION_OF_MASTER_SONS_TO_THE_UNIVERSE Sovereign Sons], in their respective [[Local Universe|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 [[Havona|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 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_5#5:6._THE_GOD_OF_PERSONALITY central indwelling].

10:1.3 [[Divine]] [[personality]] is not self-[[center]]ed; 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]].

10:1.5 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 [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary worlds] and sometimes even there dwell in the likeness of [[mortal]] [[flesh]], and since these [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:5._BESTOWAL_OF_THE_PARADISE_SONS_OF_GOD 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]].
