10:0.2 The Paradise Trinity effectively provides for the full expression and perfect [[revelation]] of the eternal nature of [[Deity]].

10:0.3 From the present situation on the [[circle]] of eternity, looking backward into the endless [[past]], we can [[discover]] only one inescapable [[inevitability]] in [[universe]] affairs, and that is the Paradise Trinity. I deem the Trinity to have been inevitable. As I view the [[past]], [[present]], and [[future]] of [[time]], I consider nothing else in all the [[universe of universes]] to have been inevitable. The present [[master universe]], viewed in retrospect or in prospect, is unthinkable without the [[Trinity]]. Given the Paradise Trinity, we can postulate alternate or even multiple ways of [[doing]] [[all things]], but without the Trinity of Father, Son, and Spirit we are unable to conceive how the Infinite could achieve threefold and [[co-ordinate]] [[personalization]] in the face of the [[absolute]] [[Unity|oneness]] of Deity.

==10:1. SELF-DISTRIBUTION OF THE FIRST SOURCE AND CENTER==     

10:1.1 It would seem that [[the Father]], back in [[eternity]], inaugurated a [[policy]] of [[profound]] self-[[distribution]]. There is [[inherent]] in the selfless, loving, and lovable nature of the Universal Father something which causes him to reserve to himself the exercise of only those [[powers]] and that [[authority]] which he apparently finds it impossible to [[delegate]] or to bestow.

10:1.2 The Universal Father all along has divested himself of every part of himself that was bestowable on any other [[Creator]] or [[creature]]. He has delegated to his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20 divine Sons] and their [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_9#9:8._PERSONALITIES_OF_THE_INFINITE_SPIRIT associated intelligences] every [[power]] and all [[authority]] that could be delegated.

In the affairs of a local universe, he has made each Sovereign [[Creator Son]] just as [[perfect]], competent, and authoritative as is the [[Eternal Son]] in the [[original]] and [[Havona|central universe]]. He has given away, actually bestowed, with the [[dignity]] and sanctity of [[personality]] possession, all of himself and all of his [[attributes]], everything he possibly could divest himself of, in every way, in every age, in every place, and to every [[person]], and in every universe except that of his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_5#5:6._THE_GOD_OF_PERSONALITY central indwelling].

10:1.3 [[Divine]] [[personality]] is not self-[[center]]ed; self-[[distribution]] and [[sharing]] of personality characterize divine [[freewill]] selfhood. [[Creatures]] crave [[association]] with other personal creatures; [[Creators]] are moved to share [[divinity]] with their universe [[children]]; the personality of the Infinite is disclosed as the Universal Father, who [[shares]] [[reality]] of [[being]] and [[equality]] of self with two co-ordinate personalities, the [[Eternal Son]] and the [[Conjoint Actor]].

10:2.3 The Son is indispensable to the [[fatherhood]] of [[God]]. The Spirit is indispensable to the [[Brotherhood|fraternity]] of the Second and Third Persons. Three persons are a minimum social [[group]], but this is least of all the many reasons for believing in the [[inevitability]] of the Conjoint Actor.

==10:3. THE THREE PERSONS OF DEITY==   

10:3.1 Notwithstanding there is only one [[Deity]], there are three positive and divine [[personalizations]] of Deity. Regarding the endowment of man with the [[Thought Adjuster|divine Adjusters]], the Father said: "Let us make mortal man in our own image."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.1] Repeatedly throughout the [[Urantia]]n [[writings]] there occurs this [[reference]] to the [[acts]] and doings of plural Deity, clearly showing recognition of the [[existence]] and working of the three Sources and Centers.

10:3.2 We are taught that [[the Son]] and [[the Spirit]] sustain the same and [[equal]] [[relations]] to [[the Father]] in the [[Trinity]] [[association]]. In eternity and as Deities they undoubtedly do, but in [[time]] and as [[personalities]] they certainly [[Manifest|disclose]] [[relationships]] of a very [[diverse]] [[nature]]. Looking from [[Paradise]] out on [[Master Universe|the universes]], these relationships do seem to be very similar, but when viewed from the domains of [[space]], they appear to be quite [[different]].

10:3.4 The Father, Son, and Spirit are certainly equal in [[nature]], [[co-ordinate]] in [[being]], but there are unmistakable [[differences]] in their universe [[performances]], and when acting alone, each person of Deity is apparently limited in [[Absolute|absoluteness]].

10:4.1 Of all [[absolute]] [[associations]], the Paradise Trinity ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_104#104:4._THE_SEVEN_TRIUNITIES the first triunity]) is [[unique]] as an exclusive association of personal Deity. [[God]] [[functions]] as God only in relation to God and to those who can know God, but as absolute Deity only in the Paradise Trinity and in relation to [[universe]] [[totality]].

[[God]] [[functions]] as God only in relation to God and to those who can know God, but as absolute Deity only in the Paradise Trinity and in relation to [[universe]] [[totality]].

10:4.2 Eternal Deity is perfectly [[Unity|unified]]; nevertheless there are three perfectly [[Individual|individualized]] [[persons]] of Deity. The Paradise Trinity makes possible the [[simultaneous]] expression of all the [[diversity]] of the [[character]] [[Attributes|traits]] and infinite powers of the [[First Source and Center]] and his eternal co-ordinates and of all the divine unity of the universe functions of undivided Deity.

10:4.3 The [[Trinity]] is an [[association]] of [[infinite]] persons functioning in a nonpersonal capacity but not in contravention of [[personality]]. The [[illustration]] is crude, but a father, son, and grandson could form a corporate [[entity]] which would be nonpersonal but nonetheless subject to their [[personal]] [[Free will|wills]].

10:4.4 The Paradise Trinity is real.

10:4.5 Ever [[remember]] that what the [[Infinite Spirit]] does is the [[function]] of the Conjoint Actor. Both the Father and the Son are functioning in and through and as him. But it would be futile to attempt to elucidate the Trinity [[mystery]]: [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_105#105:4._UNITY.2C_DUALITY.2C_AND_TRIUNITY three as one and in one, and one as two and acting for two].

10:5.1 The [[personal]] [[Deities]] have [[attributes]], but it is hardly consistent to speak of the [[Trinity]] as having attributes. This [[association]] of divine beings may more properly be regarded as having [[functions]], such as [[justice]] [[administration]], [[totality]] [[attitudes]], [[co-ordinate]] [[action]], and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_118#118:8._CONTROL_AND_OVERCONTROL cosmic overcontrol]. These functions are actively [[supreme]], [[ultimate]], and (within the limits of Deity) [[absolute]] as far as all living realities of [[personality]] [[value]] are concerned.

These functions are actively [[supreme]], [[ultimate]], and (within the limits of Deity) [[absolute]] as far as all living realities of [[personality]] [[value]] are concerned.

10:5.2 The functions of the Paradise Trinity are not simply the sum of the Father's [[Appearance|apparent]] endowment of [[divinity]] plus those specialized [[attributes]] that are [[unique]] in the personal [[existence]] of [[the Son]] and [[the Spirit]]. The Trinity association of the three Paradise Deities results in the [[evolution]], eventuation, and deitization of new [[meanings]], [[values]], [[powers]], and capacities for [[universal]] [[revelation]], [[action]], and [[administration]]. Living associations, human [[families]], social [[groups]], or the Paradise Trinity are not augmented by mere arithmetical summation. The group potential is always far in excess of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Synergy-1995-06-23 simple sum of the attributes of the component individuals].
