3:4.1 The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:1._THE_DESCENDING_SONS_OF_GOD successive bestowal of himself] upon the universes as they are brought into being in no wise lessens the [[potential]] of [[power]] or the store of [[wisdom]] as they continue to reside and repose in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_1#1:5._PERSONALITY_OF_THE_UNIVERSAL_FATHER central personality of Deity]. In potential of [[force]], wisdom, and [[love]], the Father has never lessened aught of his possession nor become divested of any [[attribute]] of his [[glorious]] personality as the result of the unstinted bestowal of himself upon the [[Paper 20 - The Paradise Sons of God|Paradise Sons]], upon his [[Local Universe|subordinate creations]], and upon the manifold [[creatures]] thereof.

3:4.2 The [[creation]] of every new [[universe]] calls for a new adjustment of [[gravity]]; but even if creation should continue indefinitely, eternally, even to infinity, so that eventually the material creation would exist without limitations, still the power of control and co-ordination reposing in the [[Isle of Paradise]] would be found equal to, and adequate for, the mastery, control, and co-ordination of such an infinite universe. And subsequent to this bestowal of limitless [[force]] and [[power]] upon a boundless universe, the [[Infinite]] would still be surcharged with the same [[degree]] of force and energy; the [[Unqualified Absolute]] would still be undiminished; God would still possess the same infinite potential, just as if force, energy, and power had never been poured forth for the endowment of [[Universe of Universes|universe upon universe]].

3:4.3 And so with wisdom: The [[fact]] that [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_9#9:4._THE_ABSOLUTE_MIND mind is so freely distributed] to the [[thinking]] of the realms in no wise impoverishes the [[Center|central]] source of [[divine]] wisdom. As the universes multiply, and [[beings]] of the realms increase in number to the limits of [[comprehension]], if mind continues without end to be bestowed upon these beings of high and low estate, still will [[God]]'s [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_1#1:5._PERSONALITY_OF_THE_UNIVERSAL_FATHER central personality] continue to [[embrace]] the same eternal, infinite, and all-wise mind.

3:4.4 The [[fact]] that he sends forth [[Thought Adjusters|spirit messengers]] from himself to indwell the men and women of your world and other worlds in no wise lessens his ability to [[function]] as a divine and all-powerful [[spirit]] [[personality]]; and there is absolutely no limit to the extent or [[number]] of such spirit Monitors which he can and may send out. This giving of himself to his [[creatures]] creates a boundless, almost inconceivable future possibility of [[progressive]] and successive [[existences]] for these divinely endowed [[mortals]]. And this prodigal distribution of himself as these ministering spirit entities in no [[manner]] diminishes the [[wisdom]] and [[perfection]] of [[truth]] and [[knowledge]] which repose in the person of the all-wise, all-knowing, and all-powerful [[Father]].

3:4.5 To the mortals of time there is a future, but God inhabits [[eternity]]. Even though I hail from near the very [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_11#11:1._THE_DIVINE_RESIDENCE abiding place of Deity], I cannot presume to speak with perfection of understanding concerning the infinity of many of the divine attributes. Infinity of mind alone can fully comprehend infinity of [[existence]] and eternity of [[action]].

3:4.6 [[Mortal]] [[Human|man]] cannot possibly know the infinitude of the heavenly Father. [[Finite]] mind cannot [[think]] through such an [[absolute]] [[truth]] or [[fact]]. But this same finite human being can actually feel—[[literally]] [[experience]]—the full and undiminished impact of such an infinite Father's [[Love|LOVE]]. Such a love can be truly experienced, albeit while [[quality]] of experience is unlimited, [[quantity]] of such an experience is strictly limited by the [[human]] capacity for [[spiritual]] [[receptivity]] and by the associated capacity to love the Father in return.

3:4.7 Finite appreciation of infinite qualities far [[transcends]] the [[logically]] limited capacities of the creature because of the [[fact]] that mortal man is made in the image of God—there lives within him a [[fragment]] of infinity. Therefore man's nearest and dearest approach to God is by and through [[love]], for God is love. And all of such a [[unique]] [[relationship]] is an actual experience in [[cosmic]] [[sociology]], the Creator-creature relationship—the [[Parent|Father]]-[[child]] [[affection]].
