8:2.1 The ''Conjoint Creator'' is from [[eternity]] and is wholly and without qualification [[Union|one]] with the [[Universal Father]] and the [[Eternal Son]]. The Infinite Spirit [[reflects]] in [[perfection]] not only the [[nature]] of the [[Paradise]] [[Father]] but also the nature of the ''Original Son''.
8:2.2 The [[Third Source and Center]] is known by numerous titles: the [[Universal]] [[Spirit]], the Supreme [[Guide]], the Conjoint [[Creator]], the Divine Executive, the [[Infinite]] [[Mind]], the Spirit of Spirits, the Paradise Mother Spirit, the Conjoint Actor, the Final Co-ordinator, the [[Omnipresent]] Spirit, the [[Absolute]] [[Intelligence]], the Divine [[Action]]; and on [[Urantia]] he is sometimes [[confused]] with the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_16#16:6._THE_COSMIC_MIND cosmic mind].
8:2.3 It is altogether proper to [[Name|denominate]] the Third Person of Deity the Infinite Spirit, for God is spirit. But [[material]] [[creatures]] who tend towards the [[error]] of viewing [[matter]] as basic [[reality]] and mind, together with spirit, as postulates rooted in matter, would better [[comprehend]] the Third Source and Center if he were called the Infinite Reality, the Universal Organizer, or the [[Personality]] Co-ordinator.
8:2.4 The Infinite Spirit, as a universe [[revelation]] of [[divinity]], is unsearchable and utterly beyond human [[comprehension]]. To [[sense]] the absoluteness of the [[Spirit]], you need only contemplate the [[infinity]] of the [[Universal Father]] and stand in [[awe]] of the [[eternity]] of the [[Eternal Son|Original Son]].
8:2.5 There is [[mystery]] indeed in the [[person]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]] but not so much as in the Father and the Son. Of all aspects of the Father's nature, the ''Conjoint Creator'' most strikingly discloses his [[infinity]]. Even if the [[master universe]] eventually expands to [[infinity]], the [[spirit]] [[presence]], [[energy]] [[control]], and [[mind]] [[potential]] of the ''Conjoint Actor'' will be found adequate to meet the demands of such a limitless [[creation]].
8:2.6 Though in every way sharing the [[perfection]], the [[righteousness]], and the [[love]] of the [[Universal Father]], the Infinite Spirit inclines towards the [[mercy]] [[attributes]] of the [[Eternal Son]], thus becoming the mercy minister of the [[Paradise Deities]] to the [[grand universe]]. Ever and always—universally and eternally—the Spirit is a mercy minister, for, as the [[Paradise Sons|divine Sons]] reveal the [[love]] of God, so the divine Spirit depicts the [[mercy]] of God.
8:2.7 It is not possible that the Spirit could have more of [[goodness]] than the Father since all goodness takes [[origin]] in [[the Father]], but in the [[acts]] of the Spirit we can the better [[comprehend]] such [[goodness]]. The Father's faithfulness and the Son's constancy are made very real to the [[spirit]] [[beings]] and the [[material]] [[creatures]] of the [[spheres]] by the loving ministry and ceaseless [[service]] of the [[personalities]] of the Infinite Spirit.
