2:0.1 Inasmuch as man's highest [[possible]] [[concept]] of [[God]] is [[embraced]] within the [[human]] [[idea]] and [[ideal]] of a primal and [[infinite]] [[personality]], it is permissible, and may prove helpful, to [[study]] certain [[Attributes|characteristics]] of the [[divine]] [[nature]] which constitute the [[character]] of [[Deity]]. The nature of God can best be [[understood]] by the [[revelation]] of [[the Father]] which [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]] unfolded in his manifold [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Urantia_Text_-_Contents#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus teachings] and in his superb [[mortal]] life in the [[flesh]]. The divine nature can also be better understood by man if he regards himself as a child of God and looks up to the [[Paradise]] [[Creator]] as a true spiritual [[Father]].

2:0.2 The nature of God can be studied in a [[revelation]] of [[supreme]] [[ideas]], the divine character can be envisaged as a portrayal of supernal [[ideals]], but the most [[enlightening]] and spiritually edifying of all [[revelations]] of the divine nature is to be found in the comprehension of the religious life of [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]], both before and after his attainment of full [[consciousness]] of [[divinity]]. If the [[incarnated]] life of Michael is taken as the background of the revelation of God to man, we may attempt to put in human [[word]] [[symbols]] certain ideas and ideals concerning the divine nature which may possibly contribute to a further [[illumination]] and unification of the human concept of the nature and the character of the [[personality]] of [[the Universal Father]].

2:0.3 In all our efforts to enlarge and spiritualize the human concept of God, we are tremendously handicapped by the limited [[Potential|capacity]] of the [[mortal]] [[mind]]. We are also seriously handicapped in the execution of our assignment by the limitations of [[language]] and by the poverty of [[material]] which can be utilized for [[purposes]] of illustration or comparison in our efforts to portray divine values and to present spiritual [[meanings]] to the [[finite]], [[mortal]] mind of man. All our efforts to enlarge the human concept of God would be well-nigh futile except for the [[fact]] that the mortal mind is indwelt by the [[Thought Adjuster|bestowed Adjuster]] of the [[Universal Father]] and is pervaded by the [[Spirit of Truth|Truth Spirit]] of the [[Creator Son]]. Depending, therefore, on the [[presence]] of these divine spirits within the [[heart]] of man for assistance in the enlargement of the concept of God, I cheerfully undertake the execution of my mandate to attempt the further portrayal of the nature of God to the mind of man.
