I am Bertrand. I am your teacher. I welcome you again to our class and wish to express my joy at being here once again with my friends. . . . . The lesson this evening involves the Paradise Trinity. Back in eternity, the Paradise Trinity came into being as the will of the Father. It is comprised of the Universal Father, the Paradise Son and the Infinite Spirit. But while it includes these individuals, it is something different. On a mortal level it is akin to the unification of three individuals for some stated purpose. The unity of those three individuals acting as one, is something more than and something different than the summation of the parts.

So it is with the Paradise Trinity. As you proceed toward the Father, your knowledge of the Paradise Trinity will expand. As a mortal of the realm, it is very difficult to see any particular outworking of this Trinity. So, at least for the time being, it must remain more or less an intellectual concept. The analogy that is put forth in The Urantia Book adequately describes how the three persons of Deity function both individually and as a unit when it talks about the reference to being a corporation. The Paradise Trinity functions on the absolute levels of reality. They function as the first Trinity.

It is a difficult concept. I will now take questions.
