115:1.1 [[Partial]], incomplete, and [[evolving]] [[intellects]] would be helpless in the [[master universe]], would be unable to form the first [[rational]] [[thought]] [[pattern]], were it not for the [[innate]] [[ability]] of all [[mind]], high or low, to [[form]] a [[universe]] [[frame]] in which to [[think]]. If mind cannot [[fathom]] conclusions, if it cannot penetrate to true [[origins]], then will such mind unfailingly [[postulate]] conclusions and [[invent]] [[origins]] that it may have a means of [[logical]] [[thought]] within the [[frame]] of these mind-created [[postulates]]. And while such [[universe]] [[frames]] for [[creature]] [[thought]] are indispensable to [[rational]] [[intellectual]] operations, they are, without exception, [[erroneous]] to a greater or lesser [[degree]].

115:1.2 [[Conceptual]] [[frames]] of the [[universe]] are only [[relatively]] true; they are serviceable [[scaffolding]] which must eventually give way before the expansions of enlarging [[cosmic]] [[comprehension]]. The [[understandings]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_56#56:10._TRUTH.2C_BEAUTY.2C_AND_GOODNESS truth, beauty, and goodness], [[morality]], [[ethics]], [[duty]], [[love]], [[divinity]], [[origin]], [[existence]], [[purpose]], [[destiny]], [[time]], [[space]], even [[Deity]], are only [[relatively]] true. [[God]] is much, much more than a [[Father]], but [[the Father]] is man's highest [[concept]] of [[God]]; nonetheless, the Father-Son portrayal of [[Creator]]-[[creature]] [[relationship]] will be augmented by those [[supermortal]] [[conceptions]] of [[Deity]] which will be [[attained]] in [[Orvonton]], in [[Havona]], and on [[Paradise]]. Man must [[think]] in a [[mortal]] [[universe]] [[frame]], but that does not mean that he cannot envision other and higher frames within which [[thought]] can take place.

115:1.3 In order to [[facilitate]] [[mortal]] [[comprehension]] of the [[universe of universes]], the [[diverse]] [[levels]] of [[cosmic]] [[reality]] have been designated as [[finite]], [[absonite]], and [[absolute]]. Of these only the [[absolute]] is unqualifiedly [[eternal]], truly [[existential]]. [[Absonite]]s and [[finite]]s are [[derivatives]], [[modifications]], qualifications, and attenuations of the [[original]] and primordial [[absolute]] [[reality]] of [[infinity]].

115:1.4 The realms of the [[finite]] exist by [[virtue]] of the [[eternal]] [[purpose]] of [[God]]. [[Finite]] [[creatures]], high and low, may propound [[theories]], and have done so, as to the [[necessity]] of the [[finite]] in the [[cosmic]] [[economy]], but in the last [[analysis]] it exists because [[God]] so willed. The [[universe]] cannot be [[explained]], neither can a [[finite]] [[creature]] offer a [[rational]] reason for his own [[individual]] [[existence]] without [[appealing]] to the prior [[acts]] and pre-existent [[volition]] of [[ancestral]] [[beings]], [[Creators]] or procreators.
