<br />
2:2.1 Even your olden [[prophets]] understood the [[eternal]], never-beginning, never-ending, [[Circle|circular]] nature of the Universal Father. God is [[literally]] and eternally [[Presence|present]] in his [[universe of universes]]. He inhabits the present [[moment]] with all his [[absolute]] [[majesty]] and eternal greatness. "The Father has life in himself, and this life is eternal life."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_5] Throughout the eternal ages it has been the Father who "gives to all life."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Acts_of_the_Apostles#Acts.17] There is infinite [[perfection]] in the [[divine]] [[integrity]]. "I am the Lord; I change not."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Malachi#Chapter_.3] Our [[knowledge]] of the [[Multiverse|universe of universes]] discloses not only that he is the Father of lights, but also that in his conduct of interplanetary affairs there "is no variableness neither [[shadow]] of [[Change|changing]]."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_of_James#James_I] He "declares the end from the beginning."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_of_James#James_I] He says: "My [[counsel]] shall stand[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Psalms#Psalm_33]; I will do all my [[pleasures]]" [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.46] "according to the eternal [[purpose]] which I purposed in [[Eternal Son|my Son]]."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Ephesians#The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Ephesians.2C_III] Thus are the plans and purposes of the [[First Source and Center]] like himself: eternal, perfect, and forever changeless.<br />
<br />
2:2.2 There is finality of completeness and perfection of repleteness in the [[mandate]]s of the Father. "Whatsoever God does, it shall be forever; nothing can be added to it nor anything taken from it."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Ecclesiastes#Chapter_.3] The [[Universal Father]] does not repent of his [[original]] [[purpose]]s of [[wisdom]] and [[perfection]]. His plans are steadfast, his [[counsel]] immutable, while his [[acts]] are divine and [[infallible]]. "A thousand years in his sight are but as yesterday when it is past and as a watch in the night."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Ecclesiastes#Chapter_.3] The perfection of divinity and the magnitude of eternity are forever beyond the [[Understanding|full grasp]] of the circumscribed mind of [[mortal]] man.<br />
<br />
2:2.3 The [[reaction]]s of a changeless God, in the execution of his eternal purpose, may seem to vary in accordance with the changing [[attitude]] and the shifting minds of his created intelligences; that is, they may apparently and superficially vary; but underneath the surface and beneath all outward [[manifestations]], there is still present the changeless purpose, the everlasting plan, of the eternal God.<br />
<br />
2:2.4 Out in the [[Superuniverse|universes]], [[perfection]] must necessarily be a [[relative]] term, but in the [[Havona|central universe]] and especially on [[Paradise]], perfection is undiluted; in certain [[phases]] it is even [[absolute]]. [[Trinity]] manifestations vary the [[Demonstration|exhibition]] of the divine perfection but do not attenuate it.<br />
<br />
2:2.5 God's primal perfection consists not in an assumed righteousness but rather in the inherent perfection of the [[goodness]] of his divine nature. He is final, complete, and perfect. There is no thing lacking in the [[beauty]] and perfection of his righteous [[character]]. And the whole scheme of living [[existence]]s on the worlds of space is [[center]]ed in the divine purpose of elevating all [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]] to the high [[destiny]] of the [[experience]] of [[sharing]] [[the Father]]'s [[Paradise]] [[perfection]]. God is neither self-centered nor self-contained; he never ceases to bestow himself upon all self-conscious creatures of the vast [[universe of universes]].<br />
<br />
2:2.6 God is eternally and infinitely perfect, he cannot personally know imperfection as his own experience, but he does [[share]] the [[consciousness]] of all the experience of imperfectness of all the [[Paper 40 - The Ascending Sons of God|struggling creatures]] of the [[Paper 15 - The Seven Superuniverses|evolutionary universes]] of all the [[Paradise]] [[Paper 21 - The Paradise Creator Sons|Creator Sons]]. The [[personal]] and liberating [[touch]] of the God of perfection overshadows the [[hearts]] and [[encircuits]] the natures of all those [[mortal]] [[creatures]] who have ascended to the universe level of [[moral]] [[discernment]]. In this [[manner]], as well as through the contacts of the [[divine]] [[presence]], the Universal Father actually participates in the experience with immaturity and imperfection in the [[Ascension Career|evolving career]] of every [[moral]] [[being]] of the [[Grand Universe|entire universe]].<br />
<br />
2:2.7 Human [[limitation]]s, [[potential]] [[evil]], are not a part of the divine nature, but [[mortal]] [[experience]] with evil and all man's [[relations]] thereto are most certainly a part of [[Paper 118 - Supreme and Ulitimate-Time and Space|God's ever-expanding]] [[self-realization]] in the [[children]] of [[time]]—[[creatures]] of [[moral]] [[responsibility]] who have been created or evolved by every [[Creator Son]] going out from [[Paradise]].<br />
