128:1.8 Of his [[human]] [[nature]] he was never in [[doubt]]; it was self-evident and always present in his [[consciousness]]. But of his [[divine]] [[nature]] there was always room for [[doubt]] and [[conjecture]], at least this was true right up to the [[event]] of his [[baptism]]. The [[self-realization]] of [[divinity]] was a slow and, from the [[human]] [[standpoint]], a natural [[evolutionary]] [[revelation]]. This revelation and [[self-realization]] of [[divinity]] began in [[Jerusalem]] when he was not quite thirteen years old with the first [[supernatural]] occurrence of his [[human]] [[existence]]; and this [[experience]] of effecting the [[self-realization]] of his [[divine]] [[nature]] was completed at the time of his second [[supernatural]] [[experience]] while in the [[flesh]], the [[episode]] attendant upon his [[baptism]] by [[John the Baptist|John]] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_river Jordan][http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_136#136:2._THE_BAPTISM_OF_JESUS], which [[event]] marked the beginning of his [[public]] [[career]] of [[ministry]] and [[teaching]].

128:1.9 Between these [[two]] [[celestial]] [[visitations]], one in his thirteenth year and the other at his [[baptism]], there occurred nothing [[supernatural]] or [[superhuman]] in the life of this [[incarnated]] [[Creator Son]]. Notwithstanding this, the babe of [[Bethlehem]], the lad, [[youth]], and man of [[Nazareth]], was in [[reality]] the [[incarnated]] [[Creator]] of a [[universe]]; but he never once used aught of this [[power]], nor did he utilize the [[guidance]] of [[celestial]] [[personalities]], aside from that of his [[guardian seraphim]], in the living of his human life up to the day of his [[baptism]] by [John the Baptist|John]]. And we who thus testify know whereof we speak.

128:1.10 And yet, throughout all these years of his life in the [[flesh]] he was truly [[divine]]. He was actually a [[Creator Son]] of the [[Paradise Father]].
