1:0.3 The [[enlightened]] worlds all recognize and [[worship]] the Universal Father, the [[eternal]] maker and [[infinite]] upholder of all [[creation]]. The [[Free will|will]] creatures of universe upon universe have embarked upon the long, long [[Paradise]] journey, the fascinating struggle of the eternal [[adventure]] of attaining [[God the Father]]. The [[transcendent]] goal of the children of time is to find the eternal God, to comprehend the divine [[nature]], to recognize the Universal Father. God-knowing creatures have only one supreme [[ambition]], just one consuming [[desire]], and that is to become, as they are in their [[spheres]], like him as he is in his Paradise [[perfection]] of [[personality]] and in his universal sphere of righteous [[supremacy]]. From the Universal Father who inhabits eternity there has gone forth the supreme [[mandate]], "Be you perfect, even as I am perfect." In [[love]] and [[mercy]] the messengers of Paradise have carried this divine exhortation down through the ages and out through the universes, even to such lowly [[animal]]-[[origin]] creatures as the [[human]] [[races]] of [[Urantia]].

1:0.4 This [[magnificent]] and [[universal]] injunction to strive for the attainment of the [[perfection]] of [[divinity]] is the first duty, and should be the highest [[ambition]], of all the struggling creature creation of the God of perfection. This [[possibility]] of the attainment of divine perfection is the final and certain [[destiny]] of all man's eternal spiritual [[progress]].

1:0.5 Urantia [[mortals]] can hardly [[hope]] to be perfect in the infinite sense, but it is entirely possible for [[human being]]s, starting out as they do on this [[planet]], to attain the supernal and divine goal which the infinite God has set for mortal man; and when they do achieve this [[destiny]], they will, in all that pertains to [[self-realization]] and [[mind]] attainment, be just as replete in their sphere of divine perfection as God himself is in his sphere of infinity and eternity. Such perfection may not be universal in the [[material]] sense, unlimited in [[intellectual]] grasp, or final in [[spiritual]] [[experience]], but it is final and complete in all finite aspects of divinity of will, [[perfection]] of personality [[motivation]], and [[God-consciousness]].

1:0.6 This is the true meaning of that divine command, "Be you perfect, even as I am perfect," which ever urges mortal man onward and beckons him inward in that long and fascinating struggle for the attainment of higher and higher levels of spiritual values and true universe meanings. This sublime search for the God of universes is the supreme adventure of the inhabitants of all the worlds of time and space.

==1:1. THE FATHER'S NAME==

1:1.1 Of all the names by which God the Father is known throughout the universes, those which designate him as the First Source and the Universe Center are most often encountered. The First Father is known by various names in different universes and in different sectors of the same universe. The names which the creature assigns to the Creator are much dependent on the creature's concept of the Creator. The First Source and Universe Center has never revealed himself by name, only by nature. If we believe that we are the children of this Creator, it is only natural that we should eventually call him Father. But this is the name of our own choosing, and it grows out of the recognition of our personal relationship with the First Source and Center.
