1:2.1 [[God]] is primal [[reality]] in the [[spirit]] world; God is the source of [[truth]] in the [[mind]] [[spheres]]; God [[Shadow|overshadows]] [[Everything|all]] throughout the [[material]] realms. To all created [[intelligences]] God is a [[personality]], and to the [[Grand Universe|universe of universes]] he is the [[First Source and Center]] of eternal reality. God is neither [[Human|manlike]] nor [[machine]]like. The First Father is [[universal]] [[spirit]], [[eternal]] [[truth]], [[infinite]] [[reality]], and [[father]] personality.

1:2.2 The eternal God is infinitely more than reality [[ideal]]ized or the universe [[personalized]]. God is not simply the supreme [[desire]] of man, the [[mortal]] quest objectified. Neither is God merely a [[concept]], the power-potential of [[Justice|righteousness]]. The Universal Father is not a synonym for nature, neither is he [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law natural law] personified. God is a [[transcendent]] [[reality]], not merely man's [[traditional]] concept of supreme [[values]]. God is not a [[psychological]] [[Focus|focalization]] of spiritual [[meanings]], neither is he "the [[Nobility|noblest]] [[work]] of man." God may be any or all of these concepts in the minds of men, but he is more. He is a [[Salvation|saving]] [[person]] and a loving Father to all who enjoy spiritual [[peace]] on [[earth]], and who crave to experience [[personality]] survival in [[death]].

1:2.3 The actuality of the [[existence]] of God is [[demonstrated]] in human [[experience]] by the indwelling of the [[Thought Adjuster|divine presence]], the spirit Monitor sent from [[Paradise]] to live in the mortal mind of man and there to assist in evolving the immortal [[soul]] of eternal [[survival]]. The [[presence]] of this divine Adjuster in the human mind is disclosed by three experiential [[phenomena]]:

1:2.6 In [[theory]] you may [[think]] of God as the [[Creator]], and he is the personal creator of [[Paradise]] and the [[Havona|central universe of perfection]], but the [[Paper 15 - The Seven Superuniverses|universes of time and space]] are all created and organized by the Paradise corps of the [[Creator Sons]]. The Universal Father is not the personal creator of the [[local universe]] of [[Nebadon]]; the universe in which you live is the [[creation]] of his Son Michael. Though the Father does not personally create the [[Paper 15 - The Seven Superuniverses|evolutionary universes]], he does control them in many of their universal [[relationships]] and in certain of their [[manifestations]] of [[physical]], mindal, and [[spiritual]] [[energies]]. God the Father is the personal creator of the Paradise universe and, in association with the [[Eternal Son]], the creator of all other personal universe Creators.

1:2.7 As a physical controller in the material universe of universes, the First Source and Center [[functions]] in the [[patterns]] of [Paper 11 - The Eternal Isle of Paradise|the eternal Isle of Paradise]], and through this [[absolute]] [[gravity]] [[center]] the eternal God exercises [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_118#118:8._CONTROL_AND_OVERCONTROL cosmic overcontrol] of the [[physical]] level equally in the [[Havona|central universe]] and throughout the [[universe of universes]]. As [[mind]], God [[functions]] in the [[Deity]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]]; as [[spirit]], God is manifest in the person of the [[Eternal Son]] and in the persons of the divine [[children]] of the Eternal Son. This interrelation of the First Source and Center with the co-ordinate Persons and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_105#105:3._THE_SEVEN_ABSOLUTES_OF_INFINITY Absolutes of Paradise] does not in the least preclude the direct personal [[action]] of the Universal Father throughout all [[creation]] and on all levels thereof. Through the presence of his [[Thought Adjuster|fragmentized spirit the Creator Father]] maintains [[immediate]] contact with his [[creature]] [[children]] and his [[Creation|created universes]].
